This paper proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming approach for the Soft Graph Clustering Problem. This is the first method that simultaneously allocates membership proportion for vertices that lie in multiple clusters, and that…
We describe a distributed processing cluster of inexpensive Linux machines developed jointly by the Astronomy and Computer Science departments at Haverford College which has been successfully used to search a large volume of data from a…
This paper discusses the deployment of existing render farm manager in a typical compute cluster environment such as a university. Usually, both a render farm and a compute cluster use different queue managers and assume total control over…
Amid the rapid advancements in large machine learning (ML) models, universities worldwide are investing substantial funds and efforts into GPU clusters. However, managing a shared GPU cluster poses a pyramid of challenges, from hardware…
The Linux kernel is mostly designed for multi-programed environments, but high-performance applications have other requirements. Such applications are run standalone, and usually rely on runtime systems to distribute the application's…
We formulate and solve the energy minimization problem for a clustered device-to-device (D2D) network with cache-enabled mobile devices. Devices are distributed according to a Poisson cluster process (PCP) and are assumed to have a surplus…
A new model for mechanical computing is demonstrated that requires only two basic parts: links and rotary joints. These basic parts are combined into two main higher level structures: locks and balances, which suffice to create all…
2.5D integration is an important technique to tackle the growing cost of manufacturing chips in advanced technology nodes. This poses the challenge of providing high-performance inter-chiplet interconnects (ICIs). As the number of chiplets…
Bitcoin is undoubtedly a great alternative to today's existing digital payment systems. Even though Bitcoin's scalability has been debated for a long time, we see that it is no longer a concern thanks to its layer-2 solution Lightning…
After a decade of research in userspace network stacks, why do new solutions remain inaccessible to most developers? We argue that this is because they ignored (1) the hardware constraints of public cloud NICs (vNICs) and (2) the…
Particle physics experiments rely extensively on computing and data services, making e-infrastructure an integral part of the research collaboration. Constructing and operating distributed computing can however be challenging for a…
As file systems are increasingly being deployed on ever larger systems with many cores and multi-gigabytes of memory, scaling the internal data structures of file systems has taken greater importance and urgency. A doubly-linked list is a…
GPU clusters in multi-tenant settings often suffer from underutilization, making GPU-sharing technologies essential for efficient resource use. Among them, NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) has gained traction for providing hardware-level…
The description of complex configuration is a difficult issue. We present a powerful technique for cluster identification and characterization. The scheme is designed to treat with and analyze the experimental and/or simulation data from…
Datasets in high-dimension do not typically form clusters in their original space; the issue is worse when the number of points in the dataset is small. We propose a low-computation method to find statistically significant clustering…
We study the feasibility of a PC-based parallel computer for medium to large scale lattice QCD simulations. The E\"otv\"os Univ., Inst. Theor. Phys. cluster consists of 137 Intel P4-1.7GHz nodes with 512 MB RDRAM. The 32-bit, single…
Creating low dimensional representations of a high dimensional data set is an important component in many machine learning applications. How to cluster data using their low dimensional embedded space is still a challenging problem in…
We present a scheme to generate two-dimensional cluster state efficiently. The number of the basic gate-entangler-for the operation is in the order of the entanglement bonds of a cluster state, and could be reduced greatly if one uses them…
Package managers are a very important part of Linux distributions but we have noticed two weaknesses in them: They use pre-built packages that are not optimised for specific hardware and often they are too heavy for a specific need, or…
Given the ubiquity of lattice models in physics, it is imperative for researchers to possess robust methods for quantifying clusters on the lattice --- whether they be Ising spins or clumps of molecules. Inspired by biophysical studies, we…
