--- _id: '776' abstract: - lang: eng text: High-performance concurrent priority queues are essential for applications such as task scheduling and discrete event simulation. Unfortunately, even the best performing implementations do not scale past a number of threads in the single digits. This is because of the sequential bottleneck in accessing the elements at the head of the queue in order to perform a DeleteMin operation. In this paper, we present the SprayList, a scalable priority queue with relaxed ordering semantics. Starting from a non-blocking SkipList, the main innovation behind our design is that the DeleteMin operations avoid a sequential bottleneck by "spraying" themselves onto the head of the SkipList list in a coordinated fashion. The spraying is implemented using a carefully designed random walk, so that DeleteMin returns an element among the first O(plog3p) in the list, with high probability, where p is the number of threads. We prove that the running time of a DeleteMin operation is O(log3p), with high probability, independent of the size of the list. Our experiments show that the relaxed semantics allow the data structure to scale for high thread counts, comparable to a classic unordered SkipList. Furthermore, we observe that, for reasonably parallel workloads, the scalability benefits of relaxation considerably outweigh the additional work due to out-of-order execution. acknowledgement: "Support is gratefully acknowledged from the National Science Foundation under grants CCF-1217921, CCF-1301926, and IIS-1447786, the Department of Energy under grant ER26116/DE-SC0008923, and the Oracle\r\nand Intel corporations." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Justin full_name: Kopinsky, Justin last_name: Kopinsky - first_name: Jerry full_name: Li, Jerry last_name: Li - first_name: Nir full_name: Shavit, Nir last_name: Shavit citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Kopinsky J, Li J, Shavit N.

Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type nearest-neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term. Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms, rotating swarms, and jammed swarms, as well as swarms that exhibit run-and-tumble motion, alternating between migration and either rotating or jammed states. Interestingly, although a migrating swarm moves slower than an individual particle, the diffusion constant can be up to three orders of magnitude larger, suggesting that collective motion can be highly advantageous, for example, when searching for food. article_number: '032706' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Ruben full_name: van Drongelen, Ruben last_name: van Drongelen - first_name: Anshuman full_name: Pal, Anshuman last_name: Pal - first_name: Carl Peter full_name: Goodrich, Carl Peter id: EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425 last_name: Goodrich orcid: 0000-0002-1307-5074 - first_name: Timon full_name: Idema, Timon last_name: Idema citation: ama: van Drongelen R, Pal A, Goodrich CP, Idema T.

In bulk systems, without surfaces, it is well understood that such systems have a plateau in the density of vibrational modes extending down to a frequency scale ω*. This frequency is controlled by ΔZ = 〈Z〉 − 2d, the difference between the average coordination of the spheres and twice the spatial dimension, d, of the system, which vanishes at the jamming transition. In the presence of a free surface we find that there is a density of disordered vibrational modes associated with the surface that extends far below ω*. The total number of these low-frequency surface modes is controlled by ΔZ, and the profile of their decay into the bulk has two characteristic length scales, which diverge as ΔZ−1/2 and ΔZ−1 as the jamming transition is approached. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Daniel M. full_name: Sussman, Daniel M. last_name: Sussman - first_name: Carl Peter full_name: Goodrich, Carl Peter id: EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425 last_name: Goodrich orcid: 0000-0002-1307-5074 - first_name: Andrea J. full_name: Liu, Andrea J. last_name: Liu - first_name: Sidney R. full_name: Nagel, Sidney R. last_name: Nagel citation: ama: Sussman DM, Goodrich CP, Liu AJ, Nagel SR.

Equivalently, we are given an input bipartite graph with two types of vertices: items, and associations (which we refer to as topics). We consider the problem of partitioning the set of items into a given number of components such that the maximum number of topics covered by a component is minimized. This is a clustering problem with various applications, e.g. partitioning of a set of information objects such as documents, images, and videos, and load balancing in the context of modern computation platforms.Inthis paper, we focus on the streaming computation model for this problem, in which items arrive online one at a time and each item must be assigned irrevocably to a component at its arrival time. Motivated by scalability requirements, we focus on the class of streaming computation algorithms with memory limited to be at most linear in the number of components.

However, the costs of providing concurrency between hardware and software transactions in HyTM are still not well understood. In this paper, we propose a general model for HyTM implementations, which captures the ability of hardware transactions to buffer memory accesses. The model allows us to formally quantify and analyze the amount of overhead (instrumentation) caused by the potential presence of software transactions.We prove that (1) it is impossible to build a strictly serializable HyTM implementation that has both uninstrumented reads and writes, even for very weak progress guarantees, and (2) the instrumentation cost incurred by a hardware transaction in any progressive opaque HyTM is linear in the size of the transaction’s data set.We further describe two implementations which exhibit optimal instrumentation costs for two different progress conditions. In sum, this paper proposes the first formal HyTM model and captures for the first time the trade-off between the degree of hardware-software TM concurrency and the amount of instrumentation overhead. acknowledgement: P.

However, unlike their crystalline\r\ncounterparts, disordered solids are not well understood. One of the primary\r\nobstacles is the lack of a theoretical framework for thinking about disorder\r\nand its relation to mechanical properties. To this end, we study an idealized\r\nsystem of frictionless athermal soft spheres that, when compressed, undergoes a\r\njamming phase transition with diverging length scales and clean power-law\r\nsignatures. This critical point is the cornerstone of a much larger \"jamming\r\nscenario\" that has the potential to provide the essential theoretical\r\nfoundation necessary for a unified understanding of the mechanics of disordered\r\nsolids. We begin by showing that jammed sphere packings have a valid linear\r\nregime despite the presence of \"contact nonlinearities.\" We then investigate\r\nthe critical nature of the transition, focusing on diverging length scales and\r\nfinite-size effects. Next, we argue that jamming plays the same role for\r\ndisordered solids as the perfect crystal plays for crystalline solids. Not only\r\ncan it be considered an idealized starting point for understanding disordered\r\nmaterials, but it can even influence systems that have a relatively high amount\r\nof crystalline order. The behavior of solids can thus be thought of as existing\r\non a spectrum, with the perfect crystal and the jamming transition at opposing\r\nends. Finally, we introduce a new principle wherein the contribution of an\r\nindividual bond to one global property is independent of its contribution to\r\nanother. This principle allows the different global responses of a disordered\r\nsystem to be manipulated independently and provides a great deal of flexibility\r\nin designing materials with unique, textured and tunable properties." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Carl Peter full_name: Goodrich, Carl Peter id: EB352CD2-F68A-11E9-89C5-A432E6697425 last_name: Goodrich orcid: 0000-0002-1307-5074 citation: ama: 'Goodrich CP.

To date, in the absence of automatic garbage collection, there is no satisfactory solution to this problem; existing tracking methods like hazard pointers, reference counters, or epoch-based techniques like RCU, are either prohibitively expensive or require significant programming expertise, to the extent that implementing them efficiently can be worthy of a publication. None of the existing techniques are automatic or even semi-automated. In this paper, we take a new approach to concurrent memory reclamation: instead of manually tracking access to memory locations as done in techniques like hazard pointers, or restricting shared accesses to specific epoch boundaries as in RCU, our algorithm, called ThreadScan, leverages operating system signaling to automatically detect which memory locations are being accessed by concurrent threads. Initial empirical evidence shows that ThreadScan scales surprisingly well and requires negligible programming effort beyond the standard use of Malloc and Free.' acknowledgement: Support is gratefully acknowledged from the National Science Foundation under grants CCF-1217921, CCF-1301926, and IIS-1447786, the Department of Energy under grant ER26116/DE-SC0008923, and the Oracle corporation.

Despite their extreme simplicity, these systems have been shown to cooperatively perform complex computational tasks, such as simulating register machines to compute standard arithmetic functions. The election of a unique leader agent is a key requirement in such computational constructions. Yet, the fastest currently known population protocol for electing a leader only has linear convergence time, and it has recently been shown that no population protocol using a constant number of states per node may overcome this linear bound. In this paper, we give the first population protocol for leader election with polylogarithmic convergence time, using polylogarithmic memory states per node. The protocol structure is quite simple: each node has an associated value, and is either a leader (still in contention) or a minion (following some leader). A leader keeps incrementing its value and “defeats” other leaders in one-to-one interactions, and will drop from contention and become a minion if it meets a leader with higher value. Importantly, a leader also drops out if it meets a minion with higher absolute value. While these rules are quite simple, the proof that this algorithm achieves polylogarithmic convergence time is non-trivial. In particular, the argument combines careful use of concentration inequalities with anti-concentration bounds, showing that the leaders’ values become spread apart as the execution progresses, which in turn implies that straggling leaders get quickly eliminated. We complement our analysis with empirical results, showing that our protocol converges extremely fast, even for large network sizes.' acknowledgement: Support is gratefully acknowledged from the National Science Foundation under grants CCF-1217921, CCF-1301926, and IIS-1447786, the Department of Energy under grant ER26116/DE-SC0008923, and the Oracle and Intel corporations.” author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Rati full_name: Gelashvili, Rati last_name: Gelashvili citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Gelashvili R.

One of the fundamental tasks that a population protocol may solve is majority: each node starts in one of two states; the goal is for all nodes to reach a correct consensus on which of the two states was initially the majority. Despite considerable research effort, known protocols for this problem are either exact but slow (taking linear parallel time to converge), or fast but approximate (with non-zero probability of error). In this paper, we show that this trade-off between preciasion and speed is not inherent. We present a new protocol called Average and Conquer (AVC) that solves majority ex-actly in expected parallel convergence time O(log n/(sε) + log n log s), where n is the number of nodes, εn is the initial node advantage of the majority state, and s = Ω(log n log log n) is the number of states the protocol employs. This shows that the majority problem can be solved exactly in time poly-logarithmic in n, provided that the memory per node is s = Ω(1/ε + lognlog1/ε). On the negative side, we establish a lower bound of Ω(1/ε) on the expected paraallel convergence time for the case of four memory states per node, and a lower bound of Ω(logn) parallel time for protocols using any number of memory states per node.per node, and a lower bound of (log n) parallel time for protocols using any number of memory states per node.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Rati full_name: Gelashvili, Rati last_name: Gelashvili - first_name: Milan full_name: Vojnović, Milan last_name: Vojnović citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Gelashvili R, Vojnović M.

In each round, a new scheduling step is allocated to one of n threads, according to a distribution p = (p1; p2; : : : ; pn), where thread i is scheduled with probability pi. When some thread first reaches a set threshold of executed steps, it registers a win, completing its current operation, and resets its step count to 1. At the same time, threads whose step count was close to the threshold also get reset because of the win, but to 0 steps, being penalized for almost winning. We are interested in two questions: how often does some thread complete an operation (system latency), and how often does a specific thread complete an operation (individual latency)? We provide asymptotically tight bounds for the system and individual latency of this general concurrency pattern, for arbitrary scheduling distributions p. Surprisingly, a sim- ple characterization exists: in expectation, the system will complete a new operation every Θ(1/p 2) steps, while thread i will complete a new operation every Θ(1/2=p i ) steps. The proof is interesting in its own right, as it requires a careful analysis of how the higher norms of the vector p inuence the thread step counts and latencies in this random process.

In its simplest formulation, the task is as follows: given n processors, all participants must eventually return a win or lose indication, such that a single contender may win. Despite a considerable amount of work on leader election, the following question is still open: can we elect a leader in an asynchronous fault-prone system faster than just running a Θ(log n)-time tournament, against a strong adaptive adversary? In this paper, we answer this question in the affirmative, improving on a decades-old upper bound. We introduce two new algorithmic ideas to reduce the time complexity of electing a leader to O(log∗ n), using O(n2) point-to-point messages. A non-trivial application of our algorithm is a new upper bound for the tight renaming problem, assigning n items to the n participants in expected O(log2 n) time and O(n2) messages.

In fungi, these glycosphingolipids commonly contain an alpha-mannose residue (Man) linked at position 2 of the inositol. However, several pathogenic fungi additionally synthesize zwitterionic GIPCs carrying an alpha-glucosamine residue (GlcN) at this position. In the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus, the GlcNalpha1,2IPC core (where IPC is inositolphosphoceramide) is elongated to Manalpha1,3Manalpha1,6GlcNalpha1,2IPC, which is the most abundant GIPC synthesized by this fungus. In this study, we identified an A. fumigatus N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, named GntA, and demonstrate its involvement in the initiation of zwitterionic GIPC biosynthesis. Targeted deletion of the gene encoding GntA in A. fumigatus resulted in complete absence of zwitterionic GIPC; a phenotype that could be reverted by episomal expression of GntA in the mutant. The N-acetylhexosaminyltransferase activity of GntA was substantiated by production of N-acetylhexosamine-IPC in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon GntA expression. Using an in vitro assay, GntA was furthermore shown to use UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as donor substrate to generate a glycolipid product resistant to saponification and to digestion by phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C as expected for GlcNAcalpha1,2IPC. Finally, as the enzymes involved in mannosylation of IPC, GntA was localized to the Golgi apparatus, the site of IPC synthesis. author: - first_name: Jakob full_name: Engel, Jakob last_name: Engel - first_name: Philipp S full_name: Schmalhorst, Philipp S id: 309D50DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schmalhorst orcid: 0000-0002-5795-0133 - first_name: Anke full_name: Kruger, Anke last_name: Kruger - first_name: Christina full_name: Muller, Christina last_name: Muller - first_name: Falk full_name: Buettner, Falk last_name: Buettner - first_name: Françoise full_name: Routier, Françoise last_name: Routier citation: ama: Engel J, Schmalhorst PS, Kruger A, Muller C, Buettner F, Routier F.

Gag consists of independently folded domains connected by flexible linkers. Interactions between the conserved capsid (CA) domains of Gag mediate formation of hexameric protein lattices that drive assembly of immature virus particles. Proteolytic cleavage of Gag by the viral protease (PR) is required for maturation of retroviruses from an immature form into an infectious form. Within the assembled Gag lattices of HIV-1 and Mason- Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV), the C-terminal domain of CA adopts similar quaternary arrangements, while the N-terminal domain of CA is packed in very different manners. Here, we have used cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging to study in vitro-assembled, immature virus-like Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) Gag particles and have determined the structure of CA and the surrounding regions to a resolution of ~8 Å. We found that the C-terminal domain of RSV CA is arranged similarly to HIV-1 and M-PMV, whereas the N-terminal domain of CA adopts a novel arrangement in which the upstream p10 domain folds back into the CA lattice. In this position the cleavage site between CA and p10 appears to be inaccessible to PR. Below CA, an extended density is consistent with the presence of a six-helix bundle formed by the spacer-peptide region. We have also assessed the affect of lattice assembly on proteolytic processing by exogenous PR. The cleavage between p10 and CA is indeed inhibited in the assembled lattice, a finding consistent with structural regulation of proteolytic maturation.\r\n" author: - first_name: Florian full_name: Schur, Florian id: 48AD8942-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schur orcid: 0000-0003-4790-8078 - first_name: Robert full_name: Dick, Robert last_name: Dick - first_name: Wim full_name: Hagen, Wim last_name: Hagen - first_name: Volker full_name: Vogt, Volker last_name: Vogt - first_name: John full_name: Briggs, John last_name: Briggs citation: ama: Schur FK, Dick R, Hagen W, Vogt V, Briggs J.

First, the 55 kilodalton viral Gag polyprotein assembles into a hexameric protein lattice at the plasma membrane of the infected cell, inducing budding and release of an immature particle. Second, Gag is cleaved by the viral protease, leading to internal rearrangement of the virus into the mature, infectious form. Immature and mature HIV-1 particles are heterogeneous in size and morphology, preventing high-resolution analysis of their protein arrangement in situ by conventional structural biology methods. Here we apply cryo-electron tomography and sub-tomogram averaging methods to resolve the structure of the capsid lattice within intact immature HIV-1 particles at subnanometre resolution, allowing unambiguous positioning of all α-helices. The resulting model reveals tertiary and quaternary structural interactions that mediate HIV-1 assembly. Strikingly, these interactions differ from those predicted by the current model based on in vitro-assembled arrays of Gag-derived proteins from Mason-Pfizer monkey virus. To validate this difference, we solve the structure of the capsid lattice within intact immature Mason-Pfizer monkey virus particles. Comparison with the immature HIV-1 structure reveals that retroviral capsid proteins, while having conserved tertiary structures, adopt different quaternary arrangements during virus assembly. The approach demonstrated here should be applicable to determine structures of other proteins at subnanometre resolution within heterogeneous environments. acknowledgement: This study was supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft grants BR 3635/2-1 to J.A.G.B., KR 906/7-1 to H.-G.K. and by Grant Agency of the Czech Republic 14-15326S to M.R.

Lateral roots (LRs) originate from a few pericycle cells that acquire attributes of founder cells (FCs), undergo series of anticlinal divisions, and give rise to a few short initial cells. After initiation, coordinated cell division and differentiation occur, giving rise to lateral root primordia (LRP). Primordia continue to grow, emerge through the cortex and epidermal layers of the primary root, and finally a new apical meristem is established taking over the responsibility for growth of mature lateral roots [for detailed description of the individual stages of lateral root organogenesis see Malamy and Benfey (1997)]. To examine this highly dynamic developmental process and to investigate a role of various hormonal, genetic and environmental factors in the regulation of lateral root organogenesis, the real time imaging based analyses represent extremely powerful tools (Laskowski et al., 2008; De Smet et al., 2012; Marhavy et al., 2013 and 2014). Herein, we describe a protocol for real time lateral root primordia (LRP) analysis, which enables the monitoring of an onset of the specific gene expression and subcellular protein localization during primordia organogenesis, as well as the evaluation of the impact of genetic and environmental perturbations on LRP organogenesis. acknowledgement: "European Research Council with a Starting Independent Research grant: ERC-2007-Stg-207362-HCPO, Czech Science Foundation: GA13-39982S\nWe thank Matyas Fendrych for critical reading and comments.

High-resolution structure determination crucially depends on the homogeneity of the protein crystal. Overall ‘rocking’ motion of molecules in the crystal is expected to influence diffraction quality, and such motion may therefore affect the process of solving crystal structures. Yet, so far overall molecular motion has not directly been observed in protein crystals, and the timescale of such dynamics remains unclear. Here we use solid-state NMR, X-ray diffraction methods and μs-long molecular dynamics simulations to directly characterize the rigid-body motion of a protein in different crystal forms. For ubiquitin crystals investigated in this study we determine the range of possible correlation times of rocking motion, 0.1–100 μs. The amplitude of rocking varies from one crystal form to another and is correlated with the resolution obtainable in X-ray diffraction experiments. article_number: '8361' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Peixiang full_name: Ma, Peixiang last_name: Ma - first_name: Yi full_name: Xue, Yi last_name: Xue - first_name: Nicolas full_name: Coquelle, Nicolas last_name: Coquelle - first_name: Jens D. full_name: Haller, Jens D. last_name: Haller - first_name: Tairan full_name: Yuwen, Tairan last_name: Yuwen - first_name: Isabel full_name: Ayala, Isabel last_name: Ayala - first_name: Oleg full_name: Mikhailovskii, Oleg last_name: Mikhailovskii - first_name: Dieter full_name: Willbold, Dieter last_name: Willbold - first_name: Jacques-Philippe full_name: Colletier, Jacques-Philippe last_name: Colletier - first_name: Nikolai R. full_name: Skrynnikov, Nikolai R. last_name: Skrynnikov - first_name: Paul full_name: Schanda, Paul id: 7B541462-FAF6-11E9-A490-E8DFE5697425 last_name: Schanda orcid: 0000-0002-9350-7606 citation: ama: Ma P, Xue Y, Coquelle N, et al.

The particularities of MAS ssNMR, as compared to solution‐state NMR, are elucidated using numerical simulations and experimental data. These simulations reveal the potential of MAS NMR to provide detailed insight into short‐lived conformations of biological molecules. Recent studies of conformational exchange dynamics in microcrystalline ubiquitin are discussed. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Peixiang full_name: Ma, Peixiang last_name: Ma - first_name: Paul full_name: Schanda, Paul id: 7B541462-FAF6-11E9-A490-E8DFE5697425 last_name: Schanda orcid: 0000-0002-9350-7606 citation: ama: 'Ma P, Schanda P.
