Optical Interconnection Architectures based on Microring Resonators [PDF]
: Microring resonators are an interesting device to build integrated optical interconnects, but their asymmetric loss behavior could limit the scalability of classical optical interconnects.

Scalable range locks for scalable address spaces and beyond [PDF]
Range locks are a synchronization construct designed to provide concurrent access to multiple threads (or processes) to disjoint parts of a shared resource. Originally conceived in the file system context, range locks are gaining increasing interest in the Linux kernel community seeking to alleviate bottlenecks in the virtual memory management ...

Laying the Groundwork for STEAM: Scaling and Supporting 3D Design and Printing in Higher Education
This perspective article outlines the design and development of a 3D Printing Ecosystem (3DPE) that aims to lay the groundwork for STEAM education. The 3DPE is a coordinated system of hardware, software, and people that has been intentionally designed to

On the impact of the GOP size in a temporal H.264/AVC-to-SVC transcoder in baseline and main profile [PDF]
Scalable video coding is a recent extension of the advanced video coding H.264/AVC standard developed jointly by ISO/IEC and ITU-T, which allows adapting the bitstream easily by dropping parts of it named layers.

Common mechanisms of attractorless oscillatory regimes in radioengineering models of brain thalamocortical network [PDF]
This work aims to show that long transient processes in mesascale models of thalamocortical brain network can appear in very general case, in particular for different number of elements in the ensemble (different level of detalization) and different ...

Trading Convexity for Scalability [PDF]
Convex learning algorithms, such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs), are often seen as highly desirable because they offer strong practical properties and are amenable to theoretical analysis. However, in this work we show how non-convexity can provide scalability advantages over convexity.

Scalability of Optical Interconnects Based on Microring Resonators [PDF]
This letter investigates the use of optical microring resonators as switching elements (SEs) in large optical interconnection fabrics. We introduce a simple physical-layer model to assess scalability in crossbar- and Benes-based architectures.We also ...

Scalable Superomniphobic Surfaces [PDF]
Superomniphobic surfaces that repel liquids of extremely low surface tension rely on carefully fabricated doubly re-entrant topographies, typically made by silicon deep reactive ion etching technology. However, previously published processes have depended on critically timed etching steps, which are difficult to downscale. We present a scalable process
