Reasoning about the use of external resources is an important aspect of many practical applications. Effect systems enable tracking such information in types, but at the cost of complicating signatures of common functions. Capabilities coupled with escape analysis offer safety and natural signatures, but are often overly coarse grained and restrictive.

In this presentation, we introduce Neutralization Based Reclamation (NBR), a novel technique that helps concurrent data structures with non-synchronized traversals to safely free objects. Additionally, we explore optimization possibilities, examining the efficiency of the technique.

DNA is life’s instruction manual, but mathematically, DNA is simply a string over an alphabet of four letters. DNA can now easily be read into a computer, and the associated string-processing algorithms are being leveraged by biologists for exciting discoveries. However, this has created a flood of data in the petabytes, requiring modern and faster tools.
