Beyond Supply Chains Empowering Responsible Value Chains
This document discusses the opportunity for companies to create "responsible supply chains" that provide benefits to both businesses and society.

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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

Editor's Notes
- start-up and new ventures, emerging technologies, mature brand success and well established national conglomerates.
- The rating system has been developed using survey creation and administration methodology, keeping in mind that all three aspects of sustainability are equally important Each question works to determine how much to reward or encourage certain business practices, based on the impact of an initiative or practice on sustainability The varied and exhaustive nature of the questions, ensure that the survey is relevant to large and small businesses in both the manufacturing and service sectors
- In order to start developing a rating system for the CoS, research was done on other types of rating systems, from well known rating systems to nonprofit organizations Each rating system was analyzed for its purpose, stakeholders, benefits and weaknesses Benefits were used to decide what would be important to include in a comprehensive rating system Weaknesses of each system were also important to understand to avoid the pitfalls of other rating systems
