Works on My QPU: Reproducibility in Quantum Computing Research

Dominik Köster, Maja Franz, Benjamin Zec +3

Quantum computing research increasingly depends on complex software stacks, yet the reproducibility of published results does not receive the priority and longevity mandated by rec…

Repositories, Contributors, and Continuity: An Empirical Study of Foundational Quantum Software

Vincent Gierisch, Nicole Hoess, Ralf Ramsauer +1

Driven by contributions from academia, industry, and open-source communities, the quantum software ecosystem is rapidly growing. Across this ecosystem, new concepts often emerge th…

From Tracepoints to Timeliness: A Semi-Markov Framework for Predictive Runtime Analysis

Benno Bielmeier, Ralf Ramsauer, Takahiro Yoshida +1

Detecting and resolving violations of temporal constraints in real-time systems is both, time-consuming and resource-intensive, particularly in complex software environments. Measu…

Towards System-Level Quantum-Accelerator Integration

Ralf Ramsauer, Wolfgang Mauerer

Quantum computers are often treated as experimental add-ons that are loosely coupled to classical infrastructure through high-level interpreted languages and cloud-like orchestrati…

Static Hardware Partitioning on RISC-V -- Shortcomings, Limitations, and Prospects

Ralf Ramsauer, Stefan Huber, Konrad Schwarz +2

On embedded processors that are increasingly equipped with multiple CPU cores, static hardware partitioning is an established means of consolidating and isolating workloads onto si…

Tell-Tale Tail Latencies: Pitfalls and Perils in Database Benchmarking

Michael Fruth, Stefanie Scherzinger, Wolfgang Mauerer +1

The performance of database systems is usually characterised by their average-case (i.e., throughput) behaviour in standardised or de-facto standard benchmarks like TPC-X or YCSB.…

Silentium! Run-Analyse-Eradicate the Noise out of the DB/OS Stack

Wolfgang Mauerer, Ralf Ramsauer, Edson R. F. Lucas +1

When multiple tenants compete for resources, database performance tends to suffer. Yet there are scenarios where guaranteed sub-millisecond latencies are crucial, such as in real-t…

The Sound of Silence: Mining Security Vulnerabilities from Secret Integration Channels in Open-Source Projects

Ralf Ramsauer, Lukas Bulwahn, Daniel Lohmann +1

Public development processes are a key characteristic of open source projects. However, fixes for vulnerabilities are usually discussed privately among a small group of trusted mai…

The List is the Process: Reliable Pre-Integration Tracking of Commits on Mailing Lists

Ralf Ramsauer, Daniel Lohmann, Wolfgang Mauerer

A considerable corpus of research on software evolution focuses on mining changes in software repositories, but omits their pre-integration history. We present a novel method for t…

Look Mum, no VM Exits! (Almost)

Ralf Ramsauer, Jan Kiszka, Daniel Lohmann +1

Multi-core CPUs are a standard component in many modern embedded systems. Their virtualisation extensions enable the isolation of services, and gain popularity to implement mixed-c…

Observing Custom Software Modifications: A Quantitative Approach of Tracking the Evolution of Patch Stacks

Ralf Ramsauer, Daniel Lohmann, Wolfgang Mauerer

Modifications to open-source software (OSS) are often provided in the form of "patch stacks" - sets of changes (patches) that modify a given body of source code. Maintaining patch…
