The Homeostasis Protocol: Avoiding Transaction Coordination Through Program Analysis

Datastores today rely on distribution and replication to achieve improved performance and fault-tolerance. But correctness of many applications depends on strong consistency properties—something that can impose substantial overheads, since it requires coor ...

Opportunities for energy efficient computing: a study of inexact general purpose processors for high-performance and big-data applications

Christian Enz, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

In this paper, we demonstrate that disproportionate gains are possible through a simple devise for injecting inexactness or approximation into the hardware architecture of a computing system with a general purpose template including a complete memory hiera ...

Stochastic fault detection in a plug-and-play scenario

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

This paper proposes a novel stochastic Fault Detection (FD) approach for the monitoring of Large-Scale Systems (LSSs) in a Plug-and-Play (PnP) dynamic scenario. The proposed architecture considers stochastic bounds on the measurement noises and modeling un ...

A virtual vehicle approach to distributed control for formation keeping of underactuated vehicles

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti, Yann Roth

This paper addresses the control problem of formation keeping of a fleet of underactuated vehicles under communication constraints, where each agent is allowed to communicate with only a subset of the agents of the fleet. We adopt a virtual vehicle approac ...

Safety-Liveness Exclusion in Distributed Computing

Rachid Guerraoui, Victor Bushkov

The history of distributed computing is full of trade-offs between safety and liveness. For instance, one of the most celebrated results in the field, namely the impossibility of consensus in an asynchronous system basically says that we cannot devise an a ...

Plug-and-Play distributed model predictive control with coupling attenuation

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

We consider the control of a large-scale system composed of state-coupled linear subsystems that can be added or removed offline. In this paper we present Plug-and-Play (PnP) design methods based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) meaning that (i) the desig ...

An explicit dynamics GPU structural solver for thin shell finite elements

Nicola Parolini, Andrea Bartezzaghi

With the availability of user oriented software tools, dedicated architectures, such as the parallel computing platform and programming model CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) released by NVIDIA, one of the main producers of graphics cards, and of ...

Control strategies for a distributed active acoustic skin

Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar

New miniaturization and integration capabilities made available from the emerging MEMS technology allow for the design of artificial linings involving distribution of a large number of elementary cells, that may be composed of loudspeakers and microphones. ...

Secure transmission using an untrusted relay with scaled compute-and-forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

A two-hop channel is considered, in which the source wants to send information to the destination while keeping the information confidential from the relay. A novel lattice chain and compute-and-forward based scheme is proposed in which the destination pro ...
