Re-creating Memories of Gulou: Three Temporalities and Emotions

Florence Graezer Bideau

In 2012, a project proposed by local authorities aimed to revitalise, after a century of interruption, the use of Beijing’s Bell and Drum Towers and the social traditions associated with them. As a result, more than 100 households living in 66 traditional ...

Low-Latency High-Bandwidth Circuit and System Design for Trigger Systems in High Energy Physics

Marcos Vinícius Silva Oliveira

The increasing luminosity in HEP (High Energy Physics) colliders demands trigger systems to be more selective. First, more information from the detector is routed to the trigger system. Second, larger parts of this information are processed together. These ...

Rethinking Software Runtimes for Disaggregated Memory

Sanidhya Kashyap, Ivan Puddu

Disaggregated memory can address resource provisioning inefficiencies in current datacenters. Multiple software runtimes for disaggregated memory have been proposed in an attempt to make disaggregated memory practical. These systems rely on the virtual mem ...

Scalable Marine Bus-Tie Switch for Switchboard Interconnections

Drazen Dujic, Gabriele Ulissi

DC power distribution systems in marine applications are in the process of being established as the preferred solution for shipboard power distribution systems. This paper presents a bus-tie switch topology for the protection of such systems. The device is ...

Electromagnetic Time Reversal Similarity Characteristics and its Application to Locating Faults in Power Networks

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

The existing Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR)-based fault location methods generally leverage the features of the signals simulated in the EMTR reversed-time stage (relative to the direct-time stage wherein a fault occurs and its originated transient s ...

New approaches for track reconstruction in LHCb's Vertex Locator

Victor Coco, Sébastien Ponce

Starting with Upgrade 1 in 2021, LHCb will move to a purely software-based trigger system. Therefore, the new trigger strategy is to process events at the full rate of 30MHz. Given that the increase of CPU performance has slowed down in recent years, the p ...

Size-aware Sharding For Improving Tail Latencies in In-memory Key-value Stores

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona

This paper introduces the concept of size-aware sharding to improve tail latencies for in-memory key-value stores, and describes its implementation in the Minos key-value store. ...

End-to-End Industrial Study of Retiming

Giovanni De Micheli, Cunxi Yu, Maciej Jerzy Ciesielski

Sequential circuits are combinational circuits that are separated by registers. Retiming is considered as the most promising technique for optimizing sequential circuits, that involves moving the edge-triggered registers across the combinational logic with ...

Dynamic Safe Interruptibility for Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Hadrien Hendrikx

In reinforcement learning, agents learn by performing actions and observing their outcomes. Sometimes, it is desirable for a human operator to \textit{interrupt} an agent in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening. Yet, as part of their learni ...

Control of the Actively Balanced Capacitive Voltage Divider for a Five-Level NPC Inverter - Estimation of the Intermediary Levels Currents

Alfred Rufer, Nicolas Cherix, Nelson William Koch

This article addresses the control of a Multistage Stacked Boost Architecture (MSBA) feeding a five-level NPC inverter in a grid-tied application. A suitable control strategy was previously presented, in which estimated/reconstructed intermediary currents ...

Axo: Tolerating Delay Faults in Real-Time Systems

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Simon Bliudze, Wajeb Saab, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

We address delay faults: faults that cause a software component to take more time for completing an action than a given deadline. Such faults are particularly of interest in real- time mission-critical control applications that use general-purpose computin ...

Anatomy of a Drop-Off Reading Curve

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet

Not all readers finish the book they start to read. Electronic media allow to us to measure more precisely how this “drop-off” effect unfolds as readers are reading a book. A curve showing how many people have read each chapter of a book is likely to be pr ...

Containers and Aggregates, Mutators and Isolates for Reactive Programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller, Aleksandar Prokopec

Many programs have an inherently reactive nature imposed by the functional dependencies between their data and external events. Classically, these dependencies are dealt with using callbacks. Reactive programming with first-class reactive values is a parad ...

An Empirical Analysis on the Arterial Fundamental Diagram

Nikolaos Geroliminis

For uninterrupted traffic flow, it is well-known that the fundamental diagram (FD) describes the relationship between traffic flow and density under steady state. For interrupted traffic flow on a signalized road, it has been recognized that the arterial f ...

Investigation of the "permanent" electrochemical promotion of catalysis (P-EPOC) by electrochemical mass spectrometry (EMS) measurements

Christos Comninellis, Cyril Falgairette, Chun Xia

The phenomenon of electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) is most often fully reversible. Subsequent to long-lasting polarization, however, the new steady-state open-circuit catalytic activity after current interruption may remain significantly highe ...
