Who Ate My Memory? Towards Attribution in Memory Management
Gunnar Kudrjavets, Ayushi Rastogi, Jeff Thomas +1
To understand applications' memory usage details, engineers use instrumented builds and profiling tools. Both approaches are impractical for use in production environments or deplo…
Deep Appearance Prefiltering
Steve Bako, Pradeep Sen, Anton Kaplanyan
Physically based rendering of complex scenes can be prohibitively costly with a potentially unbounded and uneven distribution of complexity across the rendered image. The goal of a…
Empirical Bayes Selection for Value Maximization
Dominic Coey, Kenneth Hung
We study the problem of selecting the best units from a set of as , where noisy, heteroskedastic measurements of the units' true values are available…
When malloc() Never Returns NULL -- Reliability as an Illusion
Gunnar Kudrjavets, Jeff Thomas, Aditya Kumar +2
For decades, the guidance given to software engineers has been to check the memory allocation results. This validation step is necessary to avoid crashes. However, in user mode, in…
Active Learning for Non-Parametric Choice Models
Fransisca Susan, Negin Golrezaei, Ehsan Emamjomeh-Zadeh +1
We study the problem of actively learning a non-parametric choice model based on consumers' decisions. We present a negative result showing that such choice models may not be ident…
There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Custom Memory Allocator
Gunnar Kudrjavets, Jeff Thomas, Aditya Kumar +2
Using custom memory allocators is an efficient performance optimization technique. However, dependency on a custom allocator can introduce several maintenance-related issues. We pr…
