Title: Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (CAMERA)
La Jolla, CA
This document outlines a proposed system to monitor environmental conditions in an underground mine using Internet of Things technology. It describes the hardware requirements including a Raspberry Pi module, sensors for gas, light, humidity, temperature, and a camera. The software requirements include the Raspbian operating system and Python. The expected results involve interfacing sensors to the Raspberry Pi, capturing video and images with the camera, and monitoring sensor values on a website.
Researchers at CERN are developing a new internet called "the grid" that is 10,000 times faster than typical broadband connections. The grid would allow entire movies to be downloaded within seconds and the entire Rolling Stones music catalog to be sent from Britain to Japan in under 2 seconds. It would provide enough computing power for hundreds of thousands of players to participate in online gaming simultaneously and enable high-definition video calls at local phone call prices. The grid is expected to go online in the summer of 2008 to handle the massive amounts of data that will be generated by CERN's new Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator.
Bringing Mexico Into the Global LambdaGridLarry Smarr
The document discusses plans to establish a high-bandwidth optical network connection between the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) in the United States and the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada (CICESE) in Mexico. It describes several visits and collaborations between the institutions over recent years to develop the connection. The goal is to integrate CICESE into Calit2's global OptIPuter network to enable bandwidth-intensive international research collaborations over dedicated optical lambdas.
Today most people on Earth are connected through wired or wireless networks, or both. The next leap in connectivity will give people the ability to control objects and machines. The Internet of Everything (IoE) will tag objects with tiny wireless devices for communication, computation and sensing. Some projections show demand for such IoE smart sensors will grow from billions to trillions within a decade. The essential enabling technology is an ultra-low power smart radio to provide a unique IP address and location. In this talk, Amin Arbabian discusses how he developed an ant-sized wireless-powered radio chip that costs pennies to fabricate– making it cheap enough to become the missing link to enable the Internet of Everything.
Graph Data Processing With uRIKA ApplianceDavid Prat
New requirements when dealing with data appear with graph data representation, which is more convenient for a wide range of applications and currently being adopted by an increasing number of users. Supercomputer architecture is able to provide an appliance by choosing and configuring suitable hardware as well as providing graph traversal programming models.
Supercomputers are the fastest and most powerful computers designed to solve complex problems quickly. They were introduced in the 1960s and are used for nuclear simulation, structural analysis, crash analysis, climatic predictions, cryptography, and computational chemistry. Modern supercomputer architectures trade processor speed for low power consumption to support more processors at room temperature. The IBM Blue Gene supercomputer and K computer are examples of large, energy efficient supercomputing systems that use different processor and cooling approaches.
This document discusses the history and evolution of supercomputer architectures from the 1960s to present. Early supercomputers relied on compact designs and local parallelism. Starting in the 1990s, massively parallel systems with thousands of processors became common. Modern supercomputers can use over 100,000 processors connected by fast interconnects and may utilize GPUs, computer clusters, or distributed computing networks to achieve petaflop-scale performance. Vector processing is also discussed as an important technique used in many historical supercomputers to improve performance.
The document discusses supercomputers and provides details about some of the fastest including Tianhe-2, Titan, and Sequoia. Tianhe-2 has an average performance of 33.86 petaflops and peak of almost 55 petaflops, making it the fastest. Titan is being replaced by Summit in 2017 which will have over 100 petaflops of power. Sequoia located at Livermore Lab is also being replaced in 2017. The document also provides information on the components of supercomputers including RAM and CPUs, and discusses options for building your own smaller supercomputer cluster.
This document provides an overview of supercomputers including their uses, history, architectures, and key systems. Supercomputers are the most powerful and expensive computers available designed to solve complex problems quickly. They are used for tasks like weather forecasting, nuclear simulation, and cryptography. They differ from personal computers in cost, environment, programming languages, and lack of common peripherals. Major early systems included the CDC 6600 and Cray-1. Current systems use clustering, symmetric multiprocessing, or massively parallel processing architectures. The top systems include BlueGene/L, Columbia, and Earth Simulator.
Supercomputers are the largest, fastest and most powerful computers built for scientific applications requiring intensive mathematical calculations. They were first developed in the 1960s for the US Department of Defense and have since been used for weather forecasting, seismic analysis and other computationally demanding tasks. Supercomputers derive much of their speed from multiprocessing, which allows tasks to be performed simultaneously across multiple processing units.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
