    • Decentralized Optimization in Networks

      Algorithmic Efficiency and Privacy Preservation
      • 1st Edition
      • Qingguo Lü, + 5 more
      • English
      Decentralized Optimization in Networks: Algorithmic Efficiency and Privacy Preservation provides the reader with theoretical foundations, practical guidance, and solutions to decentralized optimization problems. The book demonstrates the application of decentralized optimization algorithms to enhance communication and computational efficiency, solve large-scale datasets, maintain privacy preservation, and address challenges in complex decentralized networks. The book covers key topics such as event-triggered communication, random link failures, zeroth-order gradients, variance-reduction, Polyak’s projection, stochastic gradient, random sleep, and differential privacy. It also includes simulations and practical examples to illustrate the algorithms' effectiveness and applicability in real-world scenarios.

    • Fault-Tolerant Systems

      • 2nd Edition
      • Israel Koren + 1 more
      • English
      Fault-Tolerant Systems, Second Edition, is the first book on fault tolerance design utilizing a systems approach to both hardware and software. No other text takes this approach or offers the comprehensive and up-to-date treatment that Koren and Krishna provide. The book comprehensively covers the design of fault-tolerant hardware and software, use of fault-tolerance techniques to improve manufacturing yields, and design and analysis of networks. Incorporating case studies that highlight more than ten different computer systems with fault-tolerance techniques implemented in their design, the book includes critical material on methods to protect against threats to encryption subsystems used for security purposes. The text’s updated content will help students and practitioners in electrical and computer engineering and computer science learn how to design reliable computing systems, and how to analyze fault-tolerant computing systems.

    • Sustainable Wireless Network-on-Chip Architectures

      • 1st Edition

      • English
      Sustainable Wireless Network-on-Chip Architectures focuses on developing novel Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) and Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) algorithms that exploit the advantages inherent in WiNoC architectures. The methodologies proposed—combined with extensive experimental validation—collectiv... represent efforts to create a sustainable NoC architecture for future many-core chips. Current research trends show a necessary paradigm shift towards green and sustainable computing. As implementing massively parallel energy-efficient CPUs and reducing resource consumption become standard, and their speed and power continuously increase, energy issues become a significant concern. The need for promoting research in sustainable computing is imperative. As hundreds of cores are integrated in a single chip, designing effective packages for dissipating maximum heat is infeasible. Moreover, technology scaling is pushing the limits of affordable cooling, thereby requiring suitable design techniques to reduce peak temperatures. Addressing thermal concerns at different design stages is critical to the success of future generation systems. DTM and DVFS appear as solutions to avoid high spatial and temporal temperature variations among NoC components, and thereby mitigate local network hotspots.
