Cross-Layer Inexact Design for Low-Power Applications

Christian Enz, Andreas Peter Burg, Georgios Karakonstantis, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

Approximate and error tolerant circuits are a radical new approach to trade calculation accuracy for better speed, power, area and yield. The IcySoC project platform revisits low-power and low-voltage VLSI design through a cross-layer combined inexact desi ...

RCMP: Enabling Efficient Recomputation Based Failure Resilience for Big Data Analytics

Florin Dinu

Data replication, the main failure resilience strategy used for big data analytics jobs, can be unnecessarily inefficient. It can cause serious performance degradation when applied to intermediate job outputs in multi-job computations. For instance, for I/ ...

Implementation of a Distributed Computation Framework

Matej Pavlovic

This project aims at building a dynamic and scalable framework for Byzantine fault tolerant distributed computation. By organizing nodes of a distributed system in fault-tolerant clusters, we mask Byzantine failures of single nodes and provide an abstracti ...

Abstractions for Solving Consensus and Related Problems with Byzantine Faults

Zarko Milosevic

We become increasingly dependent on online services; therefore, their availability and correct behavior become increasingly important. Software replication is a popular technique for ensuring that computer systems continue to provide a correct service even ...

Replication for Send-Deterministic MPI HPC Applications

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Arnaud Lefray

Replication has recently gained attention in the context of fault tolerance for large scale MPI HPC applications. Existing implementations try to cover all MPI codes and to be independent from the underlying library. In this paper, we evaluate the advantag ...
