On Batch-Processing Based Coded Computing for Heterogeneous Distributed Computing Systems

Description: This article focuses on practical computing systems with heterogeneous computing resources, and designs a novel CDC approach, called batch-processing based coded computing (BPCC), which exploits the fact that every computing node can obtain some coded results before it completes the whole task. The scheme demonstrates promising performance in terms of high computational efficiency and robustness to uncertain disturbances.

FZ-GPU: A Fast and High-Ratio Lossy Compressor for Scientific Computing Applications on GPUs

Description: Article describes how today's large-scale scientific applications running on high-performance computing (HPC) systems generate vast data volumes. Thus, data compression is becoming a critical technique to mitigate the storage burden and data-movement cost. In this paper, the authors develop a fast and high- ratio error-bounded lossy compressor on GPUs for scientific data (called FZ-GPU).

Biocompatible, large-format, inkjet printed heterostructure molybdenum disulfide-graphene photodetectors on conformable substrates

Description: This article describes an inkjet printed, biocompatible, heterostructure photodetector that was constructed using inks of photo-active molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and electrically conducting graphene which facilitated charge collection of the photocarriers. The importance of such devices stems from their potential utility in age-related-macular degeneration, which is a condition where the photosensitive retinal tissue degrades with aging, eventually compromising vision. The absence of effective… more

First principles computation of composition dependent elastic constants of omega in titanium alloys: implications on mechanical behavior

Description: Article on the poor mechanical properties of Ti alloys. The study shows that the elastic properties of the ω-phase can be systematically varied as a function of its composition to enhance both the ductility and strength of the Ti-alloy. Furthermore, that ω precipitates are not intrinsically embrittling and detrimental and that Ti-alloys can be created with both good ductility and strength by tailoring ω precipitates' composition instead of completely eliminating them.
