We introduce QUICK, a group of novel optimized CUDA kernels for the efficient inference of quantized Large Language Models (LLMs). QUICK addresses the shared memory bank-conflict problem of state-of-the-art mixed precision matrix…

MPI derived datatypes are an abstraction that simplifies handling of non-contiguous data in MPI applications. These datatypes are recursively constructed at runtime from primitive Named Types defined in the MPI standard. More recently, the…

Multipath QUIC is a transport protocol that allows for the use of multiple network interfaces for a single connection. It thereby offers, on the one hand, the possibility to gather a higher throughput, while, on the other hand, multiple…

Secret-message transmission by echoing encrypted probes (STEEP) is discussed as an alternative to quantum key distribution (QKD). The former only needs classic or non-quantum channels while the latter needs both quantum and classic channels…

Modern public blockchains like Ethereum rely on p2p networks to run distributed and censorship-resistant applications. With its wide adoption, it operates as a highly critical public ledger. On its transition to become more scalable and…

Developed by the APE group, APENet is a new high speed, low latency, 3-dimensional interconnect architecture optimized for PC clusters running LQCD-like numerical applications. The hardware implementation is based on a single PCI-X 133MHz…

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can eliminate all detector side channels and it is practical with current technology. Previous implementations of MDI-QKD all use two symmetric channels with similar losses.…

We propose in this paper to revisit the design of existing encrypted transport protocols to improve their efficiency. We call the methodology ``Reverso'' from reversing the order of field elements within a protocol specification. We detail…

We design a cross-layer approach to aid in develop- ing a cooperative solution using multi-packet reception (MPR), network coding (NC), and medium access (MAC). We construct a model for the behavior of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol and apply…

The QUIC protocol is now widely adopted by major tech companies and accounts for a significant fraction of today's Internet traffic. QUIC's multiplexing capabilities, encrypted headers, dynamic IP address changes, and encrypted parameter…

Graphics rendering applications increasingly leverage neural networks in tasks such as denoising, supersampling, and frame extrapolation to improve image quality while maintaining frame rates. The temporal coherence inherent in these tasks…

The proliferation of cloud data center applications and network function virtualization (NFV) boosts dynamic and QoS dependent traffic into the data centers network. Currently, lots of network routing protocols are requirement agnostic,…

Partitioned communication was introduced in MPI 4.0 as a user-friendly interface to support pipelined communication patterns, particularly common in the context of MPI+threads. It provides the user with the ability to divide a global buffer…

Recently the problem of indexing and locating content in peer-to-peer networks has received much attention. Previous work suggests caching index entries at intermediate nodes that lie on the paths taken by search queries, but until now…

With the proliferation of mobile computing devices, the demand for continuous network connectivity regardless of physical location has spurred interest in the use of mobile ad hoc networks. Since Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the…

Cloud interactive data-driven applications generate swarms of small TCP flows that compete for the small buffer space in data-center switches. Such applications require a short flow completion time (FCT) to perform their jobs effectively.…

Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) offers a practical foundation for privacy-preserving machine learning at the edge, with MPC commonly employed to support nonlinear operations. These MPC protocols fundamentally rely on Oblivious Transfer…

Currently, there are over 14 billion IoT devices [7], and with many devices come many protocols, the main ones being MQTT and CoAP. We are interested in connecting the many diverse IoT devices to the cloud. To do so, we use the middleware…

A sequence number checking technique is proposed to improve the performance of TCP connections in mobile ad hoc networks. While a TCP connection is initialized, a routing protocol takes the responsibility for checking the hop count between…

The privacy concerns of providing deep learning inference as a service have underscored the need for private inference (PI) protocols that protect users' data and the service provider's model using cryptographic methods. Recently proposed…
