Abstract

WorldGRID is an intercontinental testbed spanning Europe and the US integrating architecturally different Grid implementations based on the Globus toolkit. The WorldGRID testbed has been successfully demonstrated during the WorldGRID demos at SuperComputing 2002 (Baltimore) and IST2002 (Copenhagen) where real HEP application jobs were transparently submitted from US and Europe using "native" mechanisms and run where resources were available, independently of their location. To monitor the behavior and performance of such testbed and spot problems as soon as they arise, DataTAG has developed the EDT-Monitor tool based on the Nagios package that allows for Virtual Organization centric views of the Grid through dynamic geographical maps. The tool has been used to spot several problems during the WorldGRID operations, such as malfunctioning Resource Brokers or Information Servers, sites not correctly configured, job dispatching problems, etc. In this paper we give an overview of the package, its features and scalability solutions and we report on the experience acquired and the benefit that a GRID operation center would gain from such a tool.

FedDyMem: Efficient Federated Learning with Dynamic Memory and Memory-Reduce for Unsupervised Image Anomaly Detection

Unsupervised image anomaly detection (UAD) has become a critical process in industrial and medical applications, where models are trained on normal samples without requiring labeled anomalies. However, even normal images may contain sensitive product designs, manufacturing information, or institution-specific population characteristics, making centralized data collection difficult in practical deployments. Federated UAD provides a promising decentralized solution, but it remains challenging because clients use only normal training samples, their feature distributions remain highly heterogeneous within the same task, and communication should be efficient while limiting the exposure of sensitive client information. To address these challenges, we propose FedDyMem, an efficient federated learning method with dynamic memory and memory-reduce for unsupervised image anomaly detection. Instead of exchanging full model parameters, FedDyMem facilitates knowledge sharing between the clients and server through reduced dynamic memory banks. In the local clients, a memory generator and a metric loss are employed to improve the consistency of the feature distribution for normal samples, leveraging the local model to update the memory bank dynamically. For efficient communication and data privacy, a memory-reduce method based on weighted averages is proposed to significantly decrease the scale of memory banks. This representation reduces communication overhead and empirically lowers reconstruction fidelity under inversion attacks. On the server, global memory is constructed and distributed to individual clients through k-means aggregation. Experiments on six federated UAD tasks constructed from eleven public industrial and medical datasets show that FedDyMem consistently improves anomaly detection and localization while reducing communication cost.

Twig: Parallel and Memory-Efficient Tree Speculative Decoding for Hybrid-Attention LLMs

Emerging LLMs increasingly interleave full attention with recurrent linear attention to reduce long-context serving costs. Tree speculative decoding could further accelerate these hybrid models, but recurrent linear-attention layers carry parent-dependent states. Existing engines therefore verify proposal trees sequentially and snapshot the full state per node, causing latency and memory to grow with tree and batch sizes. We present Twig, a kernel--runtime co-design for tree speculative decoding of hybrid LLMs. Twig derives a tree-structured factorization of the linear-attention recurrence and realizes it with a resource-efficient GPU kernel that verifies all nodes in parallel, accelerating linear-attention tree verification by 3.4--7.7$\times$. It losslessly represents speculative state updates as token-level factors and reconstructs only the accepted state, reducing transient state memory by 82--99$\times$ and freeing GPU memory for KV caches. We integrate Twig into SGLang, a widely deployed production LLM serving engine, and further optimize its runtime through batch-wide verification budgeting. Across four models, two GPU platforms, and diverse datasets, Twig achieves up to $4.72\times$ the offline decode throughput of autoregressive decoding and up to $2.03\times$ that of the strongest tree-speculative baseline. Under online agent workloads, Twig reduces TTFT and TPOT by up to $67.6\%$ and $49.9\%$, respectively, over the strongest tree-speculative baseline.

Lantern: Finding Committable Transactions via Back-Propagation on DAGs

Existing concurrency control protocols either introduce nondeterminism, resulting in a serial execution-replay dependency between primary and replica nodes, or rely on impractical prior knowledge of transaction read-write sets. In this paper, we present Lantern, a deterministic concurrency control protocol tailored for high-performance transaction processing systems operating without prior knowledge. The key insight of Lantern is that all zero-out-degree transaction vertices in the local dependency graph can be safely committed in ascending order using an overwrite-permissive strategy. We further introduce a novel Back-Propagation mechanism that iteratively propagates dependency states from sink to source vertices to identify additional committable transactions. We also propose Conflict-Free Batch Selection (CFBS) for read-modify-write intensive scenarios. We integrate Lantern into the open-source blockchain platform ChainMaker. Extensive evaluations on YCSB and SmallBank benchmarks demonstrate that Lantern achieves up to a 4.2x throughput speedup over Aria and improves the throughput of ChainMaker's execution layer by at least 2.2x.
