Enabling Highly Scalable Remote Memory Access Programming with MPI-3 One Sided
In this work, we design and develop bufferless protocols that demonstrate how to implement the MPI-3 RMA interface and support scaling to millions of cores.
Technical Perspective: The Future of MPI
"Enabling Highly Scalable Remote Memory Access Programming with MPI-3 One Sided" convincingly shows that the potential of MPI one-sided communication can be realized.
Reaping the Benefits of a Diverse Background
Earlier this year, ACM named Dina Katabi of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory recipient of the 2017 ACM Prize in Computing for her creative contributions to wireless systems.
How Software Enabled the Thai Cave Rescue
Software-defined radios allowed the rescuers to communicate, when simple radio technology could not.

Algorithms Behind Modern Storage Systems
Different uses for read-optimized B-trees and write-optimized LSM-trees.
Queueing theoretic models can guide design trade-offs in systems targeting tail latency, not just average performance.
A primary topic of consideration at a recent workshop on cybersecurity was how to preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet while protecting against the harmful behaviors that have emerged in this global medium. That this is a significant challenge cannot be overstated.
Assessing Responsibility for Program Output
We lack an easy way to indicate that algorithms do not make decisions and are not biased; programmers do, and are.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
