Summer 2023

These deliverables have been submitted but are not yet accepted, they might be revised after the next review period.

D3.3 Extended Compiler Prototype

Previous deliverables already shared the overall and refined system architecture [D2.1, D2.2] as well as the initial language and compiler designs [D3.1, D+22] and the initial compiler prototype [D3.2]. This document presents the extended DAPHNE compiler prototype, which is still based on MLIR (multi-level intermediate representation) as a library of compiler infrastructure to facilitate a cost-effective development of our domain-specific language, reuse of compiler infrastructure, and good extensibility.

D9.3 Initial Prototype of Benchmarking Toolkit

This deliverable describes the implementation of the Universal Machine Learning Analysis Utility (UMLAUT) prototype. We describe the implementation of our design decisions, the use cases for the system, as well as its performance implications on Integrated Data Analysis (IDA) pipelines.

Winter 2022/23

These deliverables have been submitted but are not yet accepted, they might be revised after the next review period.

D1.4 2^nd Annual Project Report

In D1.4 DAPHNE project team describe the progress made until project month 24 and here particularly the work done in project year 2. This report presents an overview of the type and purpose of the document, its revision history, the strategic objectives of DAPHNE project and the work carried out in project year 2 to reach these objectives.

D4.2 DSL Runtime Prototype

In this deliverable we demonstrate the use of the DAPHNE runtime by sharing a snapshot of the DAPHNE prototype, and provide an example scenario of running simple DaphneDSL scripts on the local runtime as well as on the distributed runtime.

D5.2 Prototype of Pipelines and Task Scheduling Mechanisms

This document describes the use of the pipeline and task scheduling mechanisms currently supported in the DAPHNE system. As discussed in previous deliverable reports [D4.1, D5.1], the DAPHNE project team continuously refines, extends, and adds scheduling mechanisms in DAPHNE. Nevertheless, extensibility is at the heart of the DAPHNE system.

D6.2 Prototype and Overview of Managed Storage Tiers and Near-Data Processing

This deliverable describes the design of the Delilah prototype for offloading eBPF code on a computational storage platform. We detail its implementation on the Daisy computational storage platform and discuss its initial performance evaluation.

The initial open source release of the DAPHNE prototype system is planned for end of March 2022.
