Data Security And Privacy In Smart Grid, Yue Tong
Data Security And Privacy In Smart Grid, Yue Tong
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation explores novel data security and privacy problems in the emerging smart grid.
The need for data security and privacy spans the whole life cycle of the data in the smart grid, across the phases of data acquisition, local processing and archiving, collaborative processing, and finally sharing and archiving. The first two phases happen in the private domains of an individual utility company, where data are collected from the power system and processed at the local facilities. When data are being acquired and processed in the private domain, data security is the most critical concern. The key question is …
Kernel-Assisted And Topology-Aware Mpi Collective Communication Among Multicore Or Many-Core Clusters, Teng Ma
Doctoral Dissertations
Multicore or many-core clusters have become the most prominent form of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Hardware complexity and hierarchies not only exist in the inter-node layer, i.e., hierarchical networks, but also exist in internals of multicore compute nodes, e.g., Non Uniform Memory Accesses (NUMA), network-style interconnect, and memory and shared cache hierarchies.
Message Passing Interface (MPI), the most widely adopted in the HPC communities, suffers from decreased performance and portability due to increased hardware complexity of multiple levels. We identified three critical issues specific to collective communication: The first problem arises from the gap between logical collective topologies and …
