Parallelizable Calculation of Observables Values on Analog Quantum Computer

The superiority of hypothetical quantum computers is not due to faster calculations but due to different schemes of calculations running on special hardware. The core of quantum computing follows the way a state of a quantum system is defined when basic things interact with each other. In conventional approach it is implemented through tensor product of qubits. In the geometric algebra formalism simultaneous availability of all the results for non-measured observables is based on the definition of states as points on three-dimensional sphere.

A Low-Cost and High-Performance Cryptosystem Using Tripling-Oriented Elliptic Curve

Developing a high-performance public key cryptosystem is crucial for numerous modern security applications.The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem(ECC)has performance and resource-saving advantages compared to other types of asymmetric ciphers.However,the sequential design implementation for ECC does not satisfy the current applications’performance requirements.Therefore,several factors should be considered to boost the cryptosystem performance,including the coordinate system,the scalar multiplication algo-rithm,and the elliptic curve form.The tripling-oriented(3DIK)form is imple-mented in this work due to its minimal computational complexity compared to other elliptic curves forms.This experimental study explores the factors playing an important role in ECC performance to determine the best combi-nation that leads to developing high-speed ECC.The proposed cryptosystem uses parallel software implementation to speed up ECC performance.To our knowledge,previous studies have no similar software implementation for 3DIK ECC.Supported by using parallel design,projective coordinates,and a fast scalar multiplication algorithm,the proposed 3DIK ECC improved the speed of the encryption process compared with other counterparts and the usual sequential implementation.The highest performance level for 3DIK ECC was achieved when it was implemented using the Non-Adjacent Form algorithm and homogenous projection.Compared to the costly hardware implementations,the proposed software implementation is cost effective and can be easily adapted to other environments.In addition,the power con-sumption of the proposed ECC is analyzed and compared with other known cryptosystems.thus,the current study presents a detailed overview of the design and implementation of 3DIK ECC.

Slack-Decode Simultaneously and Redundantly Threaded Architecture

Slack-Decode Simultaneously and Redundantly Threaded （SD-SRT） is proposed for detecting transient faults in processors. SD-SRT boosts the previously proposed SRT performance via definitely eliminating redundant instructiou fetches. First, the fetch stage is moved out of the Spheres of Replication （SoR）, and a unified instruction-fetch-queue （IFQ） is exploited by both the leading and trailing threads. Second, a scheme called slack-decode cooperates with the unified IFQ to harmonize proceeding of the two threads. The simulations show that SD-SRT outperforms original SRT in terms of IPC by 15%, and decreases I-cache access by 42%. Meanwhile, SD-SRT leads to a lessened size and complexity for hardware structures such as load-value-queue and store-buffer.

Finally, inaddition to transient-fault coverage, TRSTR has on-line self-checking and self-recover ingabilities, so as to shield off some permanent faults and reconfigure itself without stopping thecrucial job. improving its reliability and availability.

A spatially triggered dissipative resource distribution policy for SMT processors

Programs take on changing behavior at nmtime in a simultaneous multithreading （SMT） environment. How reasonably common resources are distributed among the threads significantly determines the throughput and fairness performance in SMT processors. Existing resource distribution methods either mainly rely on the front-end fetch policy, or make distribution decisions according to the limited information from the pipeline. It is difficult for them to efficiently catch the various resource requirements of the threads. This work presents a spatially triggered dissipative resource distribution （SDRD） policy for SMT processors, its two parts, the self-organization mechanism that is driven by the real-time instructions per cycle （IPC） performance and the introduction of chaos that tries to control the diversity Of trial resource distributions, work together to supply sustaining resource distribution optimization for changing program behavior. Simulation results show that SDRD with fine-grained diversity controlling is more effective than that with a coarse-grained one. And SDRD benefits much from its two well-coordinated parts, providing potential fairness gains as well as good throughput gains. Meanings and settings of important SDRD parameters are also discussed.

A Multithreaded CGRA for Convolutional Neural Network Processing

Convolutional neural network (CNN) is an essential model to achieve high accuracy in various machine learning applications, such as image recognition and natural language processing. One of the important issues for CNN acceleration with high energy efficiency and processing performance is efficient data reuse by exploiting the inherent data locality. In this paper, we propose a novel CGRA (Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Array) architecture with time-domain multithreading for exploiting input data locality. The multithreading on each processing element enables the input data reusing through multiple computation periods. This paper presents the accelerator design performance analysis of the proposed architecture. We examine the structure of memory subsystems, as well as the architecture of the computing array, to supply required data with minimal performance overhead. We explore efficient architecture design alternatives based on the characteristics of modern CNN configurations. The evaluation results show that the available bandwidth of the external memory can be utilized efficiently when the output plane is wider (in earlier layers of many CNNs) while the input data locality can be utilized maximally when the number of output channel is larger (in later layers).

The experimental results show that the proposed scheme exhibits improved performance compared with the algorithm in [1]. More importantly, our method can be easily extended and implemented with lightweight threads to speed up the execution times. Good speedups can be obtained on shared-memory multicore systems.

Design of Timing Synchronization Software on EAST-NBI

To ensure the uniqueness and recognition of data and make it easy to analyze and process the data of all subsystems of the neutral beam injector （NBI）, it is required that all subsystems have a unified system time. In this paper, the timing synchronization software is presented which is related to many kinds of technologies, such as shared memory, multithreading, TCP protocol and so on. Shared memory helps the server save the information of clients and system time, multithreading can deal with different clients with different threads, the server works under Linux operating system, the client works under Linux operating system and Windows operating system. With the help of this design, synchronization of all subsystems can be achieved in less than one second, and this accuracy is enough for the NBI system and the reliability of data is thus ensured.

A Perfect Knob to Scale Thread Pool on Runtime

Scalability is one of the utmost nonfunctional requirement of server applications,because it maintains an effective performance parallel to the large fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable workload.In order to achieve scalability,thread pool system(TPS)has been used extensively as a middleware service in server applications.The size of thread pool is the most significant factor,that affects the overall performance of servers.Determining the optimal size of thread pool dynamically on runtime is a challenging problem.The most widely used and simple method to tackle this problem is to keep the size of thread pool equal to the request rate,i.e.,the frequencyoriented thread pool(FOTP).The FOTPs are the most widely used TPSs in the industry,because of the implementation simplicity,the negligible overhead and the capability to use in any system.However,the frequency-based schemes only focused on one aspect of changes in the load,and that is the fluctuations in request rate.The request rate alone is an imperfect knob to scale thread pool.Thus,this paper presents a workload profiling based FOTP,that focuses on request size(service time of request)besides the request rate as a knob to scale thread pool on runtime,because we argue that the combination of both truly represents the load fluctuation in server-side applications.We evaluated the results of the proposed system against state of the art TPS of Oracle Corporation(by a client-server-based simulator)and concluded that our system outperformed in terms of both;the response times and throughput.

Detailed simulations of 3 of SPEC95 benchmarks show that executing two redundant programs on the fault-tolerant microarchitecture takes only 40%–61%longer than running a single version of the program. The new instruction fetch algorithm enhances the performance by 0.4%～1%to most of the benchmarks we choose randomly.
