TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore using photonics to implement low-diameter non-blocking crossbar and Clos networks, and show that a 64-tile photonic Clos network consumes significantly less optical power, thermal tuning power, and area compared to global photonic crossbars over a range of photonic device parameters.

TL;DR: SCALE, an instantiation of the vector-thread (VT) architecture designed for low-power and high-performance embedded systems, is presented and it is shown that its performance is competitive with larger and more complexprocessors.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the Maven VT microarchitecture is superior to the traditional vector-SIMD architecture, providing both greater efficiency and easier programmability.
pStore: A Secure Peer-to-Peer Backup System∗
Christopher Batten,Kenneth Barr,Arvind Saraf,Stanley Trepetin +3 more
- 01 Jan 2007
TL;DR: pStore as discussed by the authors is a secure distributed backup system based on an adaptive peer-to-peer network, which exploits unused personal hard drive space attached to the Internet to provide the distributed redundancy needed for reliable and effective data backup.
PyMTL: A Unified Framework for Vertically Integrated Computer Architecture Research
Derek Lockhart,Gary Zibrat,Christopher Batten +2 more

TL;DR: Sim JIT, a custom JIT specialization engine that automatically generates optimized C++ for CL and RTL models is introduced, and an off-the-shelf Python interpreter with a meta-tracing JIT compiler (PyPy) is combined to reduce the performance impact of the remaining unspecialized code.
