Asymmetric sharing is a dynamic sharing model, where a shared data is heavily accessed by a (local) sharer, and rarely accessed by other (remote) sharers. On GPUs, without special support, asymmetric sharing requires heavily loaded…
Synchronization in power systems is traditionally achieved through physical network coupling, whereby inverter-based resources (IBRs) and synchronous machines converge to a common frequency via oscillatory swing dynamics. In conventional…
Congestion control is essential for the stability of the Internet and the corresponding algorithms are commonly evaluated for interoperability based on flow-rate fairness. In contrast, video conferencing software such as Zoom uses custom…
Many applications want to use TCP congestion control to regulate the transmission rate of a data packet stream. A natural way to achieve this goal is to transport the data packet stream on a TCP connection. However, because TCP implements…
