Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

• Forced to translate a user to a device • Moving to a state based design, for
• Explicit: run a specific program on a apps, deployments, content on DPs.
specific device • Full application lifecycle model. Install,
Revision Mgt, Supersedence and
Uninstall
• Software Distribution is a glorified script • Understand and intelligently target the
execution relationships between user systems
• Management solution tailored for
applications
4. Embracing User Centric:
Administrator Promises
Let the administrator think user first
– Deploy applications to users
– Manage users beyond the desktop
ConfigMgr maintains relationship between users and
systems to solve core user targeting

– Schedule ‘Pre-deploy’ to users’ primary devices for WoL,
off-hrs, workgroup, etc.
ConfigMgr will remember the relationship between the
user and their applications
Application model captures ‘administrative intent’
5. Application Model
Manage applications; not scripts
Application Management:
– Detection method – re-evaluated for presence:
• Required application – reinstall if missing
• Prohibited application – uninstall if detected
– Requirement rules – evaluated at install time to ensure the
app only installs in places it can, and should
– Dependencies – relationships with other apps that are all
evaluated prior to installing anything
– Supersedence – relationships with other apps that should
be uninstalled prior to installing anything
– Update an app – Automatic revision management
6. User Centric – Operating System
