  • A Topology-Adaptive Overlay Framework. (Under the Direction of Dr
    ABSTRACT KANDEKAR, KUNAL. TAO: A Topology-Adaptive Overlay Framework. (Under the direction of Dr. Khaled Harfoush.) Large-scale distributed systems rely on constructing overlay networks in which nodes communicate with each other through intermediate overlay neighbors. Organizing nodes in the overlay while preserving its congruence with the underlying IP topology (the underlay) is important to reduce the communication cost between nodes. In this thesis, we study the state- of-the-art approaches to match the overlay and underlay topologies and pinpoint their limitations in Internet-like setups. We also introduce a new Topology-Adaptive Overlay organization framework, TAO, which is scalable, accurate and lightweight. As opposed to earlier approaches, TAO compiles information resulting from traceroute packets to a small number of landmarks, and clusters nodes based on (1) the number of shared hops on their path towards the landmarks, and (2) their proximity to the landmarks. TAO is also highly flexible and can complement all existing structured and unstructured distributed systems. Our experimental results, based on actual Internet data, reveal that with only five landmarks, TAO identifies the closest node to any node with 85% - 90% accuracy and returns nodes that on average are within 1 millisecond from the closest node if the latter is missed. As a result, TAO overlays enjoy very low stretch (between 1.15 and 1.25). Our results also indicate that shortest-path routing on TAO overlays result in shorter end-to-end delays than direct underlay delays in 8-10% of the overlay paths.

  • NVIDIA Launches Tegra X1 Mobile Super Chip
    NVIDIA Launches Tegra X1 Mobile Super Chip Maxwell GPU Architecture Delivers First Teraflops Mobile Processor, Powering Deep Learning and Computer Vision Applications NVIDIA today unveiled Tegra® X1, its next-generation mobile super chip with over one teraflops of processing power – delivering capabilities that open the door to unprecedented graphics and sophisticated deep learning and computer vision applications. Tegra X1 is built on the same NVIDIA Maxwell™ GPU architecture rolled out only months ago for the world's top-performing gaming graphics card, the GeForce® GTX 980. The 256-core Tegra X1 provides twice the performance of its predecessor, the Tegra K1, which is based on the previous-generation Kepler™ architecture and debuted at last year's Consumer Electronics Show. Tegra processors are built for embedded products, mobile devices, autonomous machines and automotive applications. Tegra X1 will begin appearing in the first half of the year. It will be featured in the newly announced NVIDIA DRIVE™ car computers. DRIVE PX is an auto-pilot computing platform that can process video from up to 12 onboard cameras to run capabilities providing Surround-Vision, for a seamless 360-degree view around the car, and Auto-Valet, for true self-parking. DRIVE CX is a complete cockpit platform designed to power the advanced graphics required across the increasing number of screens used for digital clusters, infotainment, head-up displays, virtual mirrors and rear-seat entertainment. "We see a future of autonomous cars, robots and drones that see and learn, with seeming intelligence that is hard to imagine," said Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and co-founder, NVIDIA.

The information that had to be communicated was the latitude, longitude coordinates, and the time. For this we have come up with several solutions throughout our design and testing process. We looked into DSRC, Cellular Communication, Raspberry Pi’s over a LAN network, and Xbee transceivers. All these are viable options and several can complement the others pretty well. We will have more details in following sections.
