Secure, reliable, and fast transfer of files across the Internet is a problem attempted to be solved through many application-layer protocols. In this paper, we aim to design a secure, reliable, opendesign, and performant file transfer…
We propose to "boost" the speed of communication and computation by immersing the computing environment into a medium whose index of refraction is smaller than one, thereby trespassing the speed-of-light barrier.
We propose Transactional Edge (TransEdge), a distributed transaction processing system for untrusted environments such as edge computing systems. What distinguishes TransEdge is its focus on efficient support for read-only transactions.…
The rapid growth of the internet in general and of bandwidth capacity at internet clients in particular poses increasing computation and bandwidth demands on internet servers. Internet access technologies like ADSL [DSL], Cable Modem and…
We model the local stellar velocity field using position and velocity measurements for 4M stars from the second data release of Gaia. We determine the components of the mean or bulk velocity in ~27k spatially-defined bins. Our assumption is…
Over the years, hardware trends have introduced various heterogeneous compute units while also bringing network and storage bandwidths within an order of magnitude of memory subsystems. In response, developers have used increasingly exotic…
