Site-level Resource Efficiency Analysis
… carbon emissions, industry must become more resource-efficient. To this end, two viable strategies exist: energy efficiency and material efficiency. Despite their inherent interdependence, industry continues to treat these two strategies as isolated pursuits, providing in the process only a …

Improving Multicore Resource Efficiency and Performance
… However these designs make inefficient use of resources and also fall victim to performance bottlenecks. TM designs require large amount of memory hierarchy space to store metastate. This design requirement poses a significant barrier to TM adoption by commercial vendors. TM designs also suffer …

Towards a Resource Efficient Framework for Distributed Deep Learning Applications
… designed for non-HPC systems without considering efficiency, leading to under-utilization of expensive HPC hardware. In addition, increasing resource heterogeneity has a negative effect on resource efficiency in distributed deep learning methods including federated learning. Thus, it is important …

Resource-constrained and Resource-efficient Modern Cryptosystem Design
In the context of a system design, resource-constraints refer to severe restrictions on allowable resources, while resource-efficiency is the capability to achieve a desired performance and, at the same time, to reduce wasting resources. To design for low-cost platforms, these fundamental concepts …
