Locality-aware algorithms over distributed arrays can be very difficult to write. Yet such algorithms are becoming more and more important as desktop machines boast more and more processors. This paper shows how a dependently-typed programming language can aid in the development of these algorithms and statically ensure that every well-typed program will only ever access local data. Such static...

Distributed storage systems run transactions across machines to ensure serializability. Traditional protocols for distributed transactions are based on two-phase locking (2PL) or optimistic concurrency control (OCC). 2PL serializes transactions as soon as they conflict and OCC resorts to aborts, leaving many opportunities for concurrency on the table. This paper presents ROCOCO, a novel concurr...
