Short bio

Vincent Gramoli received a Master's degree in computer science from Université de Paris 7 in 2003 and a Master's degree in distributed systems from Université de Paris Sud in 2004. The same year he worked as a visiting research assistant with Alex Shvartsman. He obtained his PhD on large-scale dynamic distributed shared memory in 2007 from Université de Rennes 1 at IRISA and INRIA Futurs (Saclay) under the supervision of Michel Raynal. In fall 2007, he worked as a visiting scientist at Cornell University with Ken Birman and Robbert van Renesse. Since 2008, he is a postdoc fellow at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Rachid Guerraoui's group and at Université de Neuchâtel (UniNe) with Pascal Felber working on software transactional memory.

Some research activities

• Software Transactional Memory (STM): on simplifying programs that exploit multicore architectures. Minimizing unnecessary aborts of memory transactions by increasing TM Input Acceptance. Testing Software Transactional Memories with TMunit. Enhancing concurrency in search structure with Elastic Transactions and ε-STM.
• Distributed slicing: problem of slicing the network along a resource-related metrics to refine the classification of super-peers vs. non-super-peers (cf. biblio).
• The implementation of a middleware for the development of gossip-based protocols (a.k.a. epidemic protocols), GossiPeer (cf. GossiPeer homepage).
• Time Quorum Systems that ensure probabilistic atomicity and do not require any underlying structure (cf. TQS).
• Square, a self-adaptive quorum system for dynamic systems where the number of clients vary arbitrarily.
• RDS, a multi-reader/multi-writer atomic register abstraction for dynamic settings (cf. RAMBO).
