Towards General-Purpose Decentralized Computing with Permissionless Extensibility

Smart contracts have emerged as the most promising foundations for applications of the blockchain technology. Even though smart contracts are expected to serve as the backbone of the next-generation web, they have several limitations that hinder their wide ...

TimeEvolver: A program for time evolution with improved error bound

Sebastian Zell

We present TimeEvolver, a program for computing time evolution in a generic quantum system. It relies on well-known Krylov subspace techniques to tackle the problem of multiplying the exponential of a large sparse matrix iH, where His the Hamiltonian, with ...

ColTraIn: Co-located DNN training and inference

Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira

Deep neural network inference accelerators are deployed at scale to accommodate online services, but face low average load because of service demand variability, leading to poor resource utilization. Unfortunately, reclaiming inference idle cycles is diffi ...

High Performance Computing for gravitational lens modeling: Single vs double precision on GPUs and CPUs

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth, Christoph Ernst René Schäfer

Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology and the dark matter distribution. Efficient lensing software is already a necessity to fully use its potential and the performance demands will only increase with the upcoming generation of tele ...

Multi-ReRAM synapses for artificial neural network training

Elmira Shahrabi, Igor Krawczuk, Yusuf Leblebici, Irem Boybat Kara, Carlo Ricciardi, Cecilia Giovinazzo, Evangelos Eleftheriou, Abu Sebastian

Metal-oxide-based resistive memory devices (ReRAM) are being actively researched as synaptic elements of neuromorphic co-processors for training deep neural networks (DNNs). However, device-level non-idealities are posing significant challenges. In this wo ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Processing

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing methods require that the graph nodes communicate by exchanging messages. These messages have a finite precision in a realistic network, which may necessitate to implement quantization. Quantization, in turn, generates er ...

Non-perturbative probability distribution function for cosmological counts in cells

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a non-perturbative calculation of the 1-point probability distribution function (PDF) for the spherically-averaged matter density field. The PDF is represented as a path integral and is evaluated using the saddle-point method. It factorizes into ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Filtering

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing algorithms require the network nodes to communicate by exchanging messages in order to achieve a common objective. These messages have a finite precision in realistic networks, which may necessitate to implement message ...

Genius loci e memorie urbane. Il progetto di Ragnar Östberg per l’area di Eldkvarn

Chiara Monterumisi

The paper explores the city of Stockholm, apparently far from the main tracks of other significant European examples due to its peculiar morphological features. The study investigates the Stockholm Town Hall (Stadshuset) and the nearby never-to-be realized ...

Trading off Energy versus Accuracy in Modern Computing Systems : From Digital Circuit Design to Programming Techniques

Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

The slowdown of Moore's law, which has been the driving force of the electronics industry over the last 5 decades, is causing serious problem to Integrated Circuits (ICs) improvements. Technology scaling is becoming more and more complex and fabrication co ...
