THE CUNENE RIVER BRIDGE IN ANGOLA (2009)Juan Jorge
A period of armed conflict in Angola, that begun in the late 1960’s and ended in 2002, resulted in the destruction of a bridge over the Cunene River in one of the main national road corridors. The conflict also led to a reduction of government investments in infrastructure to negligible amounts from 1976. Peace returned definitively in 2002, this boosted economic growth which in turn strained existing infrastructure, requiring that they undergo rehabilitations simultaneously to the construction of complementary transport solutions. The vital north-south road corridor which links Angola’s major cities, through Lubango, to Namibia and South Africa required a permanent robust structure to bridge the Cunene River to be built, replacing the demolished structure, as the roads that lead to it were rehabilitated simultaneously. This paper presents the development of this bridge, as well as the considerations taken in order to overcome scarcity of building materials, logistical bottlenecks and inexistent support infrastructure during two phases of this project: design and construction. The design phase included quarry investigations which concluded that concrete use should be minimized due to distances of existing quarries from the site. Thus, a light superstructure would need to be implemented. The solution obtained included reinforced concrete friction piles, reinforced concrete substructure, and a composite superstructure composed of two continuous box girders and a reinforced concrete deck slab. The construction phase began by de-mining the site, and the establishment of a camp with services. The construction phase included the construction of 142 steel girder sections in China and their transport to site, the construction of 1384 precast deck slabs on site-yard, as well as 110 piles and 16 piers that made up the substructure of reinforced concrete.

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).
