Lecture 08: Partial Eigen Decomposition Of Large Symmetric Matrices Via Thick-Restart Lanczos With Explicit External Deflation And Its Communication-Avoiding Variant, Zhaojun Bai

Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series

There are continual and compelling needs for computing many eigenpairs of very large Hermitian matrix in physical simulations and data analysis. Though the Lanczos method is effective for computing a few eigenvalues, it can be expensive for computing a large number of eigenvalues. To improve the performance of the Lanczos method, in this talk, we will present a combination of explicit external deflation (EED) with an s-step variant of thick-restart Lanczos (s-step TRLan). The s-step Lanczos method can achieve an order of s reduction in data movement while the EED enables to compute eigenpairs in batches along with a number …

We are entering an era in which Smart Devices are increasingly integrated into our daily lives. Everyday objects are gaining computational power to interact with their environments and communicate with each other and the world via the Internet. While the integration of such devices offers many potential benefits to their users, it also gives rise to a unique set of challenges. One of those challenges is to detect whether a device belongs to one’s own ecosystem, or to a neighbor – or represents an unexpected adversary. An important part of determining whether a device is friend or adversary is to …

A Comprehensive Mapping And Real-World Evaluation Of Multi-Object Tracking On Automated Vehicles, Alexander Bassett

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is a field critical to Automated Vehicle (AV) perception systems. However, it is large, complex, spans research fields, and lacks resources for integration with real sensors and implementation on AVs. Factors such those make it difficult for new researchers and practitioners to enter the field.

This thesis presents two main contributions: 1) a comprehensive mapping for the field of Multi-Object Trackers (MOTs) with a specific focus towards Automated Vehicles (AVs) and 2) a real-world evaluation of an MOT developed and tuned using COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software toolsets. The first contribution aims to give a comprehensive overview of …

Electrostatic Design And Characterization Of A 200 Kev Photogun And Wien Spin Rotator, Gabriel G. Palacios Serrano

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

High-energy nuclear physics experiments at the Jefferson Lab Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) require high spin-polarization electron beams produced from strained super-lattice GaAs photocathodes activated to negative electron affinity in a high voltage photogun operating at 130 kV dc. A pair of Wien filter spin rotators in the injector provides precise control of the electron beam polarization at the end station target. An upgrade of the CEBAF injector to better support the upcoming Moller experiment requires increasing the electron beam energy to 200 keV, resulting in better transmission through injector apertures and improved photocathode lifetime.

Towards Efficient Motif-Based Graph Partitioning: An Adaptive Sampling Approach, Shixun Huang, Yuchen Li, Zhifeng Bao, Zhao Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we study the problem of efficient motif-based graph partitioning (MGP). We observe that existing methods require to enumerate all motif instances to compute the exact edge weights for partitioning. However, the enumeration is prohibitively expensive against large graphs. We thus propose a sampling-based MGP (SMGP) framework that employs an unbiased sampling mechanism to efficiently estimate the edge weights while trying to preserve the partitioning quality. To further improve the effectiveness, we propose a novel adaptive sampling framework called SMGP+. SMGP+ iteratively partitions the input graph based on up-to-date estimated edge weights, and adaptively adjusts the sampling distribution …

Newslink: Empowering Intuitive News Search With Knowledge Graphs, Yueji Yang, Yuchen Li, Anthony Tung

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

News search tools help end users to identify relevant news stories. However, existing search approaches often carry out in a "black-box" process. There is little intuition that helps users understand how the results are related to the query. In this paper, we propose a novel news search framework, called NEWSLINK, to empower intuitive news search by using relationship paths discovered from open Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Specifically, NEWSLINK embeds both a query and news documents to subgraphs, called subgraph embeddings, in the KG. Their embeddings' overlap induces relationship paths between the involving entities. Two major advantages are obtained by incorporating subgraph …

Dbl: Efficient Reachability Queries On Dynamic Graphs, Qiuyi Lyu, Yuchen Li, Bingsheng He, Bin Gong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Reachability query is a fundamental problem on graphs, which has been extensively studied in academia and industry. Since graphs are subject to frequent updates in many applications, it is essential to support efficient graph updates while offering good performance in reachability queries. Existing solutions compress the original graph with the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and propose efficient query processing and index update techniques. However, they focus on optimizing the scenarios where the Strong Connected Components (SCCs) remain unchanged and have overlooked the prohibitively high cost of the DAG maintenance when SCCs are updated. In this paper, we propose DBL, an …

Dycuckoo: Dynamic Hash Tables On Gpus, Yuchen Li, Qiwei Zhu, Zheng Lyu, Zhongdong Huang, Jianling Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The hash table is a fundamental structure that has been implemented on graphics processing units (GPUs) to accelerate a wide range of analytics workloads. Most existing works have focused on static scenarios and occupy large GPU memory to maximize the insertion efficiency. In many cases, data stored in hash tables get updated dynamically, and existing approaches use unnecessarily large memory resources. One naïve solution is to rebuild a hash table (known as rehashing) whenever it is either filled or mostly empty. However, this approach renders significant overheads for rehashing. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic cuckoo hash table …

Efficient Hardware Constructions For Error Detection Of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Schemes, Alvaro Cintas Canto

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Quantum computers are presumed to be able to break nearly all public-key encryption algorithms used today. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) started the process of soliciting and standardizing one or more quantum computer resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms in late 2017. It is estimated that the current and last phase of the standardization process will last till 2022-2024. Among those candidates, code-based and multivariate-based cryptography are a promising solution for thwarting attacks based on quantum computers. Nevertheless, although code-based and multivariate-based cryptography, e.g., McEliece, Niederreiter, and Luov cryptosystems, have good error correction capabilities, research has shown their hardware …
