Exploring the sharing of autobiographical memories and memory objects in Chinese families
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2025-08-01

Optimizing high locality memory references in cache coherent shared memory multi-core processors
Optimizing memory references has been a primary research area of computer systems ever since the advent of the stored program computers. The objective of this thesis research is to identify and optimize two classes of high locality data memory reference streams in cache coherent shared memory …

TIME-PREDICTABLE FAST MEMORIES: CACHES VS. SCRATCHPAD MEMORIES
… shorten the gap between the processor speed and memory access time. However, caches are time unpredictable, especially the shared L2 cache used by different cores on multicore processors. Thus, it can significantly increase the complexity of worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis, which is …

Transforming space and significance - a study of the constitutional court of South Africa
… by which lieux are formed and retained as lieux (memory objects/vessels/vestiges of heritage) has framed this study. The premise that space and place embodies and transmits concepts of cultural heritage has inspired ongoing and complimentary theories of the ways in which the built environment …

Views and consistencies in distributed shared memory
… knowledge of spatial locality in the sharing of memory objects. An access graph is used to capture the sharing relationship among processes via the shared objects. We show that if accesses in all cycles are 'properly' synchronized, then the execution is guaranteed to be sequentially consistent. …

ByteSTM: Java Software Transactional Memory at the Virtual Machine Level
… and composability challenges. Transactional memory (TM) is an emerging synchronization abstraction that promises to alleviate the difficulties with lock-based synchronization. With TM, code that read/write shared memory objects is organized as transactions, which speculatively execute. When …

Program analysis of temporal memory mismanagement
… benefits obtained from flexible low-level memory access and management sacrifice language-level support for memory safety and garbage collection. Memory-related programming mistakes are introduced as a result, rendering C/C++ programs prone to memory errors. A common category of programming …

Energy-efficient architectures for chip-scale networks and memory systems using silicon-photonics technology
… the design of both chip-scale networks and main memory systems. Conventional electrical links used in chip-scale networks (0.5-3pJ/bit) and DRAM systems used in main memory (>30pJ/bit) fail to provide sustained performance at low energy budgets. This thesis builds on the promising research on …

On Partial Aborts and Reducing Validation Costs in Fault-tolerant Distributed Transactional Memory
Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM) is an emerging synchronization abstraction thatpromises to alleviate the scalability, programmability, and composability challenges of lock-based distributed synchronization. With DTM, programmers organize code that read/writeshared memory objects, both local …

Inhibition, attentional control, and causes of forgetting in working memory: a formal approach
… temporary maintenance and manipulation of mental objects is a necessary step in order to reach a cognitive goal. Working memory has been regarded as the process responsible for those cognitive activities. This thesis addresses the question: what limits working-memory capacity (WMC)? A question …

Documents et Cheminements: tracing the postmemory of the second world war and the Algerian war of independence
… also focuses on the question of vectors of memory in France and Algeria, as well as intermediality in contemporary French and Algerian narratives. My guiding theoretical framework throughout the dissertation draws on Marianne Hirsch’s discussions of what she calls “postmemory.” However, …

Real-Time Software Transactional Memory: Contention Managers, Time Bounds, and Implementations
… by exposing greater concurrency. Transactional memory (TM) is an emerging alternative synchronization model for shared memory objects that promises to alleviate these difficulties. In this dissertation, we consider software transactional memory (STM) for concurrency control in multicore …

Supporting Software Transactional Memory in Distributed Systems: Protocols for Cache-Coherence, Conflict Resolution and Replication
… complexity: multinode concurrency. Transactional memory (TM) is an emerging, alternative synchronization abstraction that promises to alleviate these difficulties. With the TM model, code that accesses shared memory objects are organized as transactions, which speculatively execute, while logging …

Working memory for spatial relations
… of study in cognition, the capacity of working memory (WM) is widely agreed to be roughly 3-5 items: 3-5 objects (i.e., bound collections of object features) in the literature on visual WM, or 3-5 role bindings (i.e., objects in specific relational roles) in the literature on memory and …
