ABSTRACT The Hadamard differential was introduced in 1923 by Hadamard and promoted in 1937 by Fréchet who extended it to vector spaces of functions. Infinite dimension is equivalent to the Fréchet differential introduced in 1911, but in function spaces, Hadamard is more general than Fréchet, which is restricted to normed vector spaces. In 1978 Penot gave the appropriate definition of a semi-differential in the sense of Hadamard by using semi-paths with a semi-tangent. The Hadamard semidifferentiable functions are probably the…

ABSTRACT Scheduling policies are at the heart of computer systems. The right scheduling policy can dramatically reduce response times, ensure fairness, provide class-based priority, etc., without requiring additional resources. While stochastic response time analysis of different scheduling policies has been the focus of thousands of theoretical papers, results are limited to analyzing a relatively small number of "simple" scheduling policies. In this talk, we introduce the SOAP class of scheduling policies: Schedule Ordered by Age-based Priority. The SOAP policies include…

ABSTRACT The success of machine learning models is in part due to their capacity to train on large amounts of data. Distributed systems are the common way to process more data than one computer can store, but they can also be used to increase the pace at which models are trained by splitting the work among many computing nodes. In this talk, I will study the corresponding problem of minimizing a sum of functions which are respectively accessible by separate…
