The Parallel Persistent Memory Model
We consider a parallel computational model that consists of processors,
each with a fast local ephemeral memory of limited size, and sharing a large
persistent memory. The model allows for each processor to fault with bounded
probability, and possibly restart. On faulting all processor state and local
ephemeral memory are lost, but the persistent memory remains. This model is
motivated by upcoming non-volatile memories that are as fast as existing random
access memory, are accessible at the granularity of cache lines, and have the
capability of surviving power outages. It is further motivated by the
observation that in large parallel systems, failure of processors and their
caches is not unusual.
Within the model we develop a framework for developing locality efficient
parallel algorithms that are resilient to failures. There are several
challenges, including the need to recover from failures, the desire to do this
in an asynchronous setting (i.e., not blocking other processors when one
fails), and the need for synchronization primitives that are robust to
failures. We describe approaches to solve these challenges based on breaking
computations into what we call capsules, which have certain properties, and
developing a work-stealing scheduler that functions properly within the context
of failures. The scheduler guarantees a time bound of in expectation, where and are the work and
depth of the computation (in the absence of failures), is the average
number of processors available during the computation, and is the
probability that a capsule fails. Within the model and using the proposed
methods, we develop efficient algorithms for parallel sorting and other
primitives.Comment: This paper is the full version of a paper at SPAA 2018 with the same

Wave Effects in Double-Plane Lensing
We discuss the wave optical effects in gravitational lens systems with two
point mass lenses in two different lens planes. We identify and vary parameters
(i.e., lens masses, related distances, and their alignments) related to the
lens system to investigate their effects on the amplification factor. We find
that due to a large number of parameters, it is not possible to make
generalized statements regarding the amplification factor. We conclude by
noting that the best approach to study two-plane and multi-plane lensing is to
study various possible lens systems case by case in order to explore the
possibilities in the parameter space instead of hoping to generalize the
results of a few test cases. We present a preliminary analysis of the parameter
space for a two-lens system here.Comment: 13 pages, 8 Figures. Comments Welcom
Sharp change over from compound nuclear fission to shape dependent quasi fission
Fission fragment mass distribution has been measured from the decay of
Bk nucleus populating via two entrance channels with slight difference
in mass asymmetries but belonging on either side of the Businaro Gallone mass
asymmetry parameter. Both the target nuclei were deformed. Near the Coulomb
barrier, at similar excitation energies the width of the fission fragment mass
distribution was found to be drastically different for the N +
Th reaction compared to the B + U reaction. The entrance
channel mass asymmetry was found to affect the fusion process sharply.Comment: 4 pages,6 figure
