Through a case study, we find that #Rust programmers indeed need not be fearful when expressing easy parallelism, but when parallelism gets hard (e.g., irregular run-time varying data dependences) #Rust is not inherently easier to use than its predecessors like C++.

Proud advisor moment 2: Javad Abdi convocated in Toronto as I presented his work at #spaa2024 (his choice!) Javad's work interrogates the #Rust programming language claim of fearless concurrency.

Proud advisor moment: Guozheng Zhang presented at #spaa2024. Ordered algorithms are hard to scale on manycores, but several priority schedulers have been proposed. We introduce a taxonomy to position past schedulers and explore a new design point: the MBQ https://t.co/XaG5Wq5P1K

The industry shift to chiplets lowers cost but can hurt performance. We find that the performance penalty of chiplets varies wildly across parallel applications (up to almost 2x slowdown) and correlates with invalidation intensity: INV msgs/instr. See more in our paper!

Appendix 1: This 50% increase only accounts for inflation, and clearly is inadequate for the housing affordability crisis. We need further action on this.
