VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 6 nodes and 26 edges.

3 years ago, I replaced the bottom bracket bearing for the bike I use at Burning Man after it self-destructed from rust in 2022. I bought one that claims to be waterproof, but prepping this year, I noticed the pedals weren't moving nicely, so took it apart and the new bearing is rusted.
Maybe it is waterproof? Definitely not dust proof. Most of what was in there was the lithium grease now turned into paste with playa dust.
So this time, I'm trying enclosed bearings. Maybe…

I've read the Sprawl Trilogy several times and watched the Blade Runner movies several times too. And I love them.
Yet, it's hard to be excited about these two projects because they are being produced as series by the usual culprits.

Remember "The Peripheral" in 2022?
Cancelled after the 1st season - and it…

NBR: Neutralization Based Reclamation
Safe memory reclamation (SMR) algorithms suffer from a trade-off between bounding unreclaimed memory and the speed of reclamation. Hazard pointer (HP) based algorithms bound unreclaimed memory at all times, but tend to be slower than other approaches. Epoch based reclamation (EBR) algorithms are faster, but do not bound memory reclamation. Other algorithms follow hybrid approaches, requiring special compiler or hardware support, changes to record layouts, and/or extensive code changes. Not all …
