      Article
      Open Access
      Conditional Restricted Boltzmann Machine (CRBM) is a promising candidate for a multidimensional system modeling that can learn a probability distribution over a set of data. It is a specific type of an artificial neural ...
    • Accelerating K-mer Frequency Counting with GPU and Non-Volatile Memory 

      Cadenelli, Nicola; Polo Bardés, Jordà; Carrera, David (IEEE, 2018-02-15)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      The emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms has increased the throughput of genomic sequencing and in turn the amount of data that needs to be processed, requiring highly efficient computation for its ...
    • Adaptive MapReduce scheduling in shared environments 

      Polo Bardés, Jordà; Becerra Fontal, Yolanda; Carrera Pérez, David; Torres Viñals, Jordi; Ayguadé Parra, Eduard; Steinder, Malgorzata (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In this paper we present a MapReduce task scheduler for shared environments in which MapReduce is executed along with other resource-consuming workloads, such as transactional applications. All workloads may potentially ...

    • Disaggregating non-volatile memory for throughput-oriented genomics workloads 

      Call Barreiro, Aaron; Polo Bardés, Jordà; Carrera Pérez, David; Guim Bernat, Francesc; Sen, Sujoy (Springer, 2018-12)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Massive exploitation of next-generation sequencing technologies requires dealing with both: huge amounts of data and complex bioinformatics pipelines. Computing architectures have evolved to deal with these problems, ...
    • Enabling distributed key-value stores with low latency-impact snapshot support 

      Polo Bardés, Jordà; Becerra Fontal, Yolanda; Carrera Pérez, David; Torres Viñals, Jordi; Ayguadé Parra, Eduard; Spreitzer, Mike; Steinder, Malgorzata (2013)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Current distributed key-value stores generally provide greater scalability at the expense of weaker consistency and isolation. However, additional isolation support is becoming increasingly important in the environments ...
    • Multi-constraint scheduling of MapReduce workloads 

      Polo Bardés, Jordà (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-07-15)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      In recent years there has been an extraordinary growth of large-scale data processing and related technologies in both, industry and academic communities. This trend is mostly driven by the need to explore the increasingly ...
    • Performance evaluation of microservices architectures using containers 

      Amaral, Marcelo; Polo Bardés, Jordà; Carrera Pérez, David; Mohomed, Iqbal; Unuvar, Merve; Steinder, Malgorzata (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Microservices architecture has started a new trend for application development for a number of reasons: (1) to reduce complexity by using tiny services; (2) to scale, remove and deploy parts of the system easily; (3) to ...
    • SMuFin2: generating and implementing new and more efficient search engines integrated in particular hardware architectures
