zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Pv system analysis
1. Photovoltaic System Analysis
The following analysis was produced to predict the best photovoltaic system that would yield the
highest annual savings and the fastest return period with high performance. The energy consumption for
the building was first calculated to address the PV system size requirements. Table 1: Building
Consumption has the designated kWh/day required for this facility and the available roof area for the
solar panels.
With this information a better cost comparison was created. Table 2: Cost Analysis compares the
four distinct solar panels that have qualified for CPS rebate and have high performance. The first option
was the one UTSA has used, the second is one of the panels with the highest wattage in the market, and
the last two have the lowest price to wattage ratio. All solar panels have high performance ratings.
Moreover, Table 2 predicts the daily production of kWh/day and the PV system size for each distinct
solar panel. Table 2: Cost Analysis takes into account the prices of the panels (obtained from
http://www.affordable-solar.com). The installation cost was estimated by 411 Energy LLC, who is a
solar rebate contractor that meets the qualifications for CPS rebate by being NABCEP Certified. The
North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is the “gold standard” for PV and
solar heating installation certification. This certification is designed to raise industry standards and
promote consumer confidence. In terms of rebate, the $100,000 comes from the CPS Energy Solar
Initiative Rebate Program. This rebate program provides tiered incentives ranging from $1.30 to $2.50
per AC watt based on the calculated expected performance of the system with a rebate of up to $100,000
for commercial installations. With this information the total cost for each system was acquired.
After estimating the system’s cost, Table 3: Financial Performance was constructed to do the
final comparison of the electric monthly bill, monthly savings, return period and price per kW. This
table was populated through the use of the result acquired from tables 4-7. The four different system’s
financial projections, see table 4-7, were constructed using the following assumptions. A 6.95 cents per
kWh current electrical cost with a 4.35% annual increase, and an annual kWh production degradation of
0.05% per year based on manufacturer’s warranty guideline. The projected kWh production was based
on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s “PV Watts" Performance Calculator. Table 4-7 have
the calculations for all four PV systems return period.
In summary, efficient option 2 (CS6P 240 Canadian Solar) has the lowest return period, lowest
cost per kW, second to the highest percentage of solar energy bill, and second to the highest monthly
savings as seen in Table 3: Financial Performance. For these reasons this will be the chosen solar panel.
The final PV system will be a 87.2 kW system with 167,935 kWh average annual production and
$14,282 average yearly savings. Additionally, a 30% tax credit will be applicable under the Federal Tax
Credits for Consumer Energy Efficiency.
