Beating Floating Point at its Own Game: Posit Arithmetic
In this deck from the HPC Advisory Council Australia Conference, John Gustafson from Singapore National University presents: Beating Floats at Their Own Game.
"Dr. Gustafson has recently finished writing a book, The End of Error: Unum Computing, that presents a new approach to computer arithmetic: the unum. The universal number, or unum format, encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This approach obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power."

Beyond Floating Point – Next Generation Computer Arithmetic
John Gustafson from the National University of Singapore presented this talk at Stanford.
“A new data type called a “posit” is designed for direct drop-in replacement for IEEE Standard 754 floats. Unlike unum arithmetic, posits do not require interval-type mathematics or variable size operands, and they round if an answer is inexact, much the way floats do. However, they provide compelling advantages over floats, including simpler hardware implementation that scales from as few as two-bit operands to thousands of bits. For any bit width, they have a larger dynamic range, higher accuracy, better closure under arithmetic operations, and simpler exception-handling. For example, posits never overflow to infinity or underflow to zero, and there is no “Not-a-Number” (NaN) value. Posits should take up less space to implement in silicon than an IEEE float of the same size. With fewer gate delays per operation as well as lower silicon footprint, the posit operations per second (POPS) supported by a chip can be significantly higher than the FLOPs using similar hardware resources. GPU accelerators, in particular, could do more arithmetic per watt and per dollar yet deliver superior answer quality.”

Quantum computing
Quantum computers are incredibly powerful machines that take a new approach to processing information. Built on the principles of quantum mechanics, they exploit complex and fascinating laws of nature that are always there, but usually remain hidden from view. By harnessing such natural behavior, quantum computing can run new types of algorithms to process information more holistically. They may one day lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in materials and drug discovery, the optimization of complex manmade systems, and artificial intelligence. We expect them to open doors that we once thought would remain locked indefinitely. Acquaint yourself with the strange and exciting world of quantum computing.

Nt1330 Unit 4.2 Paper
The document discusses optical ring resonator (RR) based sensors and key performance metrics for comparing different types of such sensors. Some metrics like sensitivity and cost can be defined numerically, while others like portability are more subjective. Key metrics discussed include sensitivity, resolution, detection limit, selectivity, response time, reversibility, operational range, and sensor cost. Optical RR sensors offer advantages like compact size, possibility for array integration, and simultaneous monitoring of multiple analytes.
Lecture1
Information theory deals with quantifying and transmitting information. It answers questions about data compression and transmission rates. Shannon showed that transmission rates can exceed the channel capacity as long as they remain below it, and that random processes have an irreducible complexity below which they cannot be compressed. Information theory relates to fields like computer science, probability theory, and communication theory. It had its beginnings in the early 20th century but was developed further after World War II by scientists like Shannon and Wiener.
Arithmetic Coding
The document provides an overview of digital media basics including digitization, compression, representation, and standards. It discusses signal digitization through pulse code modulation and sampling. It also covers quantization, digitization examples, and lossless versus lossy compression. Specific compression techniques covered include transform coding, variable rate coding, predictive coding, and entropy coding like Huffman coding. The document also discusses psychoacoustic modeling and perceptual coding. It provides examples of speech, audio, image and video compression standards and techniques.
Source coding
The document discusses information theory and source coding. It defines information and entropy, explaining that the amount of information contained in a message depends on its probability. The entropy of a data source measures the average information content. Huffman coding is presented as a method to assign variable-length codes to symbols to minimize the average code length. Error detection and correction codes are also summarized, including parity checking, cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), linear block codes, and convolutional codes.
Digital Communication Techniques
This document discusses source coding and channel coding in communication systems. It defines source coding as the process of encoding source data, such as speech or text, into binary format before transmission. Channel coding adds redundancy to encoded data to detect and correct errors during transmission over a noisy communication channel. Common source coding techniques discussed include Huffman coding and Lempel-Ziv algorithms, while channel coding includes block codes and convolution codes. Entropy, mutual information, and other information theory concepts are also introduced.
Lecture 2 - Bit vs Qubits.pptx
This document provides an overview of how classical and quantum computers work. It discusses how classical computers use binary digits (bits) to represent information, while quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in superpositions of states. The document outlines several problems like integer factorization and search that quantum computers may be able to solve faster using algorithms like Shor's and Grover's algorithms. It also notes some limitations of quantum computers in that they manipulate probabilities rather than definite states and only produce a single outcome when measured.
Quantum Computing and its security implications
Quantum computers work with qubits that can exist in superposition and be entangled. They have enormous computational power compared to digital computers and could solve problems like prime factorization rapidly. This poses risks to current encryption methods and allows for perfectly secure quantum communication. Several types of quantum computers are being developed, from quantum annealers to analog and universal models, with the latter offering exponential speedups but being the hardest to build. Significant progress is being made, with quantum computers in the tens of qubits now and the need to transition encryption to post-quantum algorithms within the next decade.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Freshworks Rethinks NoSQL for Rapid Scaling & Cost-Efficiency

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
