In the light of the recent fame of Blockchain technologies, numerous proposals and projects aiming at better practical viability have emerged. However, formally assessing their particularities and benefits has proven to be a difficult task.…

On the one side, network simulation frameworks are important tools for research and development activities to evaluate novel approaches in a time- and cost-efficient way. On the other side, Java as a highly platform-independent programming…

Enabling blockchain technology into IoT can help to achieve a proper distributed consensus based IoT system that overcomes disadvantages of today's centralized infrastructures, such as, among others, high cloud server maintenance costs,…

We present the NVIDIA cuQuantum SDK, a state-of-the-art library of composable primitives for GPU-accelerated quantum circuit simulations. As the size of quantum devices continues to increase, making their classical simulation progressively…

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer distributed cryptocurrency system, that keeps all transaction history in a public ledger known as blockchain. The Bitcoin network is implicitly pseudoanonymous and its nodes are controlled by independent entities…

This paper presents an open-source neural machine translation toolkit named CytonMT (https://github.com/arthurxlw/cytonMt). The toolkit is built from scratch only using C++ and NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated libraries. The toolkit features…

Decentralized services are increasingly being developed and their Decentralized applications are increasingly developed but their performance metrics are not tested enough. The total number of transactions that can be supported by the…

Considering the diverse nature of real-world distributed applications that makes it hard to identify a representative subset of distributed benchmarks, we focus on their underlying distributed algorithms. We present and characterize a new…

Blockchains are maintained by a network of participants that run algorithms designed to maintain collectively a distributed machine tolerant to Byzantine attacks. From the point of view of users, blockchains provide the illusion of…

We introduce ProjectQ, an open source software effort for quantum computing. The first release features a compiler framework capable of targeting various types of hardware, a high-performance simulator with emulation capabilities, and…

A blockchain facilitates secure and atomic transactions between mutually untrusting parties on that chain. Today, there are multiple blockchains with differing interfaces and security properties. Programming in this multi-blockchain world…

Machine learning has recently enabled large advances in artificial intelligence, but these tend to be highly centralized. The large datasets required are generally proprietary; predictions are often sold on a per-query basis; and published…

Numerical simulations are ubiquitous in mathematics and computational science. Several industrial and clinical applications entail modeling complex multiphysics systems that evolve over a variety of spatial and temporal scales. This study…

We focus on the problem of botnet orchestration and discuss how attackers can leverage decentralised technologies to dynamically control botnets with the goal of having botnets that are resilient against hostile takeovers. We cover critical…

Modern cryptocurrencies exploit decentralised blockchains to record a public and unalterable history of transactions. Besides transactions, further information is stored for different, and often undisclosed, purposes, making the blockchains…

The hierarchical token bucket (HTB) algorithm allows to specify per-flow bitrate guarantees and enables excess bandwidth sharing between flows of the same class. Additionally, it provides capabilities to prioritize the traffic of specific…

Traditional network experiments focus on validation through either simulation or emulation. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations. In this work, we present a new tool for next-generation network experiments created through…

This paper provides the description of a novel, multi-purpose spline library. In accordance with the increasingly diverse modes of usage of splines, it is multi-purpose in the sense that it supports geometry representation, finite element…

Blockchain is increasingly offered as blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) by cloud service providers. However, configuring BaaS appropriately for optimal performance and reliability resorts to try-and-error. A key challenge is that BaaS is often…

The introduction of Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors opened up new possibilities in development of highly parallel applications. The familiarity and flexibility of the architecture together with compiler support integrated into the Intel…
