Distributed Systems

When we connect several computers in a network to jointly process large amounts of data, such a computing system is commonly referred to as a “distributed system”. From a technical standpoint the key difference between a distributed system ...

Checkpointing and rollback-recovery for distributed systems

We consider the problem of bringing a distributed system to a consistent state after transient failures. We address the two components of this problem by describing a distributed algorithm to create consistent checkpoints, as well as a roll...

The LOCUS Distributed System Architecture

LOCUS, a distributed version of the popular operating system Unix, provides an excellent solution. It makes a collection of computers, whether they are workstations or mainframes, as easy to use as a single computer by providing a set of su...

Caching Hints in Distributed Systems

Caching reduces the average cost of retrieving data by amortizing the lookup cost over several references to the data. Problems with maintaining strong cache consistency in a distributed system can be avoided by treating cached information ...

Blockchain for secure and decentralized artificial intelligence in cybersecurity: A comprehensive review

As the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) grows within the field of cybersecurity, so too does the demand for secure and decentralized AI systems to protect against potential cyber threats. Blockchain technology (BT) has emerged as the i...

Memristor devices for neural networks

Abstract Neural network technologies have taken center stage owing to their powerful computing capability for supporting deep learning in artificial intelligence. However, conventional synaptic devices such as SRAM and DRAM are not satisfac...

Artificial Neural Networks in Agriculture

Artificial neural networks are one of the most important elements of machine learning and artificial intelligence. They are inspired by the human brain structure and function as if they are based on interconnected nodes in which simple proc...

Maximum Storage Capacity in Neural Networks

The upper storage capacity of a neural network for patterns of fixed magnetization m is calculated. The optimal capacity increases with the correlation m 2 between the patterns....

EdgeAIGC: Model caching and resource allocation for edge artificial intelligence generated content

With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence technology, the traditional cloud-based centralized model training and inference face significant limitations due to high transmission latency and costs, which restrict user-s...

Unstructured Grid Computing Acceleration Algorithm Based on Sunway TaihuLight

The performance of unstructured grid computing on Sunway TaihuLight, a domestic heterogeneous many-core platform, is limited by sparse storage, discrete memory access, and data dependency.To relieve the sparse storage and discrete memory ac...

The Carbon Budget of Land Conversion: Sugarcane Expansion and Implications for a Sustainable Bioenergy Landscape in Southeastern United States

ABSTRACT The expansion of sugarcane onto land currently occupied by improved (IMP) and semi‐native (SN) pastures will reshape the U.S. bioenergy landscape. We combined biometric, ground‐based and eddy covariance methods to investigate the i...

Optimal dispatching method for integrated energy system based on robust economic model predictive control considering source–load power interval prediction

Effective source–load prediction and reasonable dispatching are crucial to realize the economic and reliable operations of integrated energy systems (IESs). They can overcome the challenges introduced by the uncertainties of new energies an...

A Heuristic Home Electric Energy Management System Considering Renewable Energy Availability

This paper presents the development of a heuristic-based algorithm for a Home Electric Energy Management System (HEEMS). The novelty of the proposal resides in the fact that solutions of the Pareto front, minimizing both the energy consumpt...

Monostearin effects on the formation of precipitate in palm oil biodiesel and petroleum diesel blends with various storage temperature

Biodiesel is one of the renewable energy forms that is on demand in Indonesia. In the biodiesel production process, impurities such as Saturated Monoglycerides (SMG) in the form of monostearin that precipitate at low temperature are commonl...

Life cycle assessment of a renewable energy generation system with a vanadium redox flow battery in a NZEB household

Buildings are responsible for a significant part of the global energy consumption. Besides the need to improve their energy efficiency, new buildings also need to generate their own energy, preferably from renewable sources, to become more ...

The Economics of Renewable Energy

Greater use of renewable energy is seen as a key component of any move to combat climate change, and is being aggressively promoted as such by the new U.S. administration and by other governments.Yet there is little economic analysis of ren...
