Fully pipelined bloom filter architecture
No full textRecently, we proposed a two-stage pipelined Bloom filter architecture to save power for network security applications. In this letter, we generalize the pipelined Bloom filter architecture to k-stage and show that significant power savings can be achieved by employing one hash function per stage. We analytically show that the expected power consumption and latency of the fully pipelined Bloom filter architecture will not be greater than that of the two hash functions and two clock cycles, respectively, however large the number of hash functions is. Furthermore, we discuss the worst-case performance of the proposed architecture.Recently, we proposed a two-stage pipelined Bloom filter architecture to save power for network security applications.

The Madagascar Bloom – a serendipitous study
No full textThe late austral summer (February-April) phytoplankton bloom that occurs east of Madagascar exhibits significant interannual variability and at its largest extent covers ~1% of the world’s ocean surface area. The bloom raises many intriguing questions about how it begins, is sustained, propagates to the east, exports carbon and ends. It has been observed and studied using satellite ocean color observations, but the lack of in situ data makes it difficult to address these questions. Here we describe observations that were made serendipitously on a cruise in February 2005. These show clearly for the first time the simultaneous existence of a deep chlorophyll maximum at ~70-110 m depths (seen in SeaSoar fluorimeter data) and a surface chlorophyll signature (seen in SeaWiFS satellite ocean color data). The observations also show the modulation of biological signature at the surface by the eddy field, but not of the deep chlorophyll maximum. Trichodesmium dominates the bloom nearer to Madagascar, while the diatom Rhizosolenia clevei (and its symbiont Richelia intracellularis) dominates further from the island. The surface bloom seen in the SeaWiFS data is confined to the shallow (~30 m) mixed layer. It is hypothesized that the interannual variability in bloom intensity may be due to variations in coastal upwelling and thus the supply of iron, which is a micronutrient that can limit diazotroph growth
Low-power bloom filter architecture for deep packet inspection
No full textBloom filters are frequently used to identify malicious content like viruses in high speed networks. However, architectures proposed to implement bloom filters are not power efficient. In this letter, we propose a new bloom filter architecture that exploits the well-known pipelining technique. Through power analysis we show that pipelining can reduce the power consumption of bloom filters up to 90%, which leads to the energy-efficient implementation of intrusion detection systems
Energy-efficient pipelined bloom filters for network intrusion detection
No full textSoftware-based detection techniques are commonly used to identify the predefined signatures in network streams. However, the software-based techniques can not keep up with the speeds that network bandwidth increases. Hence, hardware-based systems have started to emerge. Bloom filters are frequently used to identify malicious content like viruses in high speed networks. However, architectures proposed to implement Bloom filters are not power efficient. We propose a new Bloom filter architecture that exploits the well-known pipelining technique. Through extensive power analysis we show that pipelining can reduce the power consumption of Bloom filters up to 90%, which leads to the energy-efficient implementation of network intrusion detection system
Increasing the power efficiency of Bloom filters for network string matching
No full textAlthough software based techniques are widely accepted in computer security systems, there is a growing interest to utilize hardware opportunities in order to compensate for the network bandwidth increases. Recently, hardware based virus protection systems have started to emerge. This type of hardware systems work by identifying the malicious content and removing it from the network streams. In principle, they make use of string matching. Bit by bit, they compare the virus signatures with the bit strings in the network. The bloom filters are ideal data structures for string matching. Nonetheless, they consume large power when many of them used in parallel to match different virus signatures. In this paper, we propose a new type of Bloom filter architecture which exploits well-known pipelining techniqu

Physical controls and mesoscale variability in the Labrador Sea spring phytoplankton bloom observed by Seaglider
No full textWe investigated the 2005 spring phytoplankton bloom in the Labrador Sea using Seaglider, an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with hydrographic, bio-optical and oxygen sensors. The Labrador Sea blooms in distinct phases, two of which were observed by Seaglider: the north bloom and the central Labrador Sea bloom. The dominant north bloom and subsequent zooplankton growth are enabled by the advection of low-salinity water from West Greenland in the strong and eddy-rich separation of the boundary current. The glider observed high fluorescence and oxygen supersaturation within haline-stratified eddy-like features; higher fluorescence was observed at the edges than centers of the eddies. In the central Labrador Sea, the bloom occurred in thermally stratified water. Two regions with elevated subsurface chlorophyll were also observed: a 5 m thin-layer in the southwest Labrador Current, and in the Labrador shelf-break front. The thin layer observations were consistent with vertical shearing of an initially thicker chlorophyll patch. Observations at the front showed high fluorescence down to 100 m depth and aligned with the isopycnals defining the front. The high-resolution Seaglider sampling across the entire Labrador Sea provides first estimates of the scale dependence of coincident biological and physical variables
