    No full text
    We study energy transfers during magnetic energy growth in small-scale and large-scale dynamos. We perform direct numerical simulations for magnetic Prandtl number Pm =20 and 0.2 in a periodic box on 1024^3 grid. Energy fluxes and shell-to-shell energy transfers indicate that in small-scale dynamo for Pm =20, the magnetic energy growth takes place due to a non-local energy transfer from large-scale velocity field to small-scale magnetic field. On the other hand, in large-scale dynamo for Pm =0.2, local energy transfers from large-scale velocity field to large-scale magnetic field takes place

    Locally Recoverable Streaming Codes for Packet-Erasure Recovery

    No full text
    Streaming codes are a class of packet-level erasure codes that are designed with the goal of ensuring recovery in low-latency fashion, of erased packets over a communication network. It is well-known in the streaming code literature, that diagonally embedding codewords of a [τ+1,τ+1-a] Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) code within the packet stream, leads to rate-optimal streaming codes capable of recovering from a arbitrary packet erasures, under a strict decoding delay constraint τ. Thus MDS codes are geared towards the efficient handling of the worst-case scenario corresponding to the occurrence of a erasures. In the present paper, we have an increased focus on the efficient handling of the most-frequent erasure patterns. We study streaming codes which in addition to recovering from a>1 arbitrary packet erasures under a decoding delay τ, have the ability to handle the more common occurrence of a single-packet erasure, while incurring smaller delay r<τ. We term these codes as (a,τ,r) locally recoverable streaming codes (LRSCs), since our single-erasure recovery requirement is similar to the requirement of locality in a coded distributed storage system. We characterize the maximum possible rate of an LRSC by presenting rate-optimal constructions for all possible parameters {a,τ,r}. Although the rate-optimal LRSC construction provided in this paper requires large field size, the construction is explicit. It is also shown that our (a,τ=a(r+1)-1,r) LRSC construction provides the additional guarantee of recovery from the erasure of h, 1 ≤ h ≤ a, packets, with delay h(r+1)-1. The construction thus offers graceful degradation in decoding delay with increasing number of erasures

    Techniques for the performance analysis of queueing networks

    ETDs are only available to UIUC Users without author permissionU of I OnlyAnalyzing the performance of queueing networks that do not admit a product form solution is a challenging problem. In this thesis we present some tools for doing so. Our attention is restricted to Markovian queueing networks.We first present a technique for bounding the performance of such networks. Assuming a steady state for functionals of the state, we obtain linear programs which bound the performance. This technique is illustrated using quadratic functionals to bound the performance of a class of Markovian queueing networks called reentrant lines. We also show how this technique may be applied to bound throughput and blocking probabilities in networks with buffer capacity constraints. In some cases bounds obtained using multimedial functional of the state are shown to approach the exact value when the degree of the multimedial increases.We also study another important technique for the analysis of queueing networks, namely, the fluid limit approach. This approach is used to establish the stability of a class of policies called Fluctuation Smoothing policies for open reentrant lines. We also show how the fluid limit approach can be used to obtain the asymptotic performance of closed queueing networks in heavy traffic. We then use fluid limits to establish the efficiency of Fluctuation Smoothing policies for closed reentrant lines, as well as the Harrison-Wein policy for two station closed reentrant lines.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:22:46Z (GMT).

    Clock multiplication techniques for high-speed I/Os

    No full text
    Generation of a low-jitter, high-frequency clock from a low-frequency reference clock using classical analog phase-locked loops (PLLs) requires a large loop filter capacitor and power hungry oscillator. Digital PLLs can help reduce area but their jitter performance is severely degraded by quantization error. In this dissertation different clock multiplication techniques have been explored that can be suitable for high-speed wireline systems. With the emphasis on ring oscillator based architecture using cascaded stages, three possible architectures are explored. First, a scrambling TDC (STDC) is presented to improve deterministic jitter (DJ) performance when used with a low-frequency reference clock. A cascaded architecture with digital multiplying delay locked loop as the first stage and hybrid analog/digital PLL as the second stage is used to achieve low random jitter in a power efficient manner. Fabricated in a 90nm CMOS process, the prototype frequency synthesizer consumes 4.76mW power from a 1.0V supply and generates 160MHz and 2.56 GHz output clocks from a 1.25MHz crystal reference frequency. The long-term absolute jitter of the 60MHz digital MDLL and 2.56 GHz digital PLL outputs are 2.4 psrms and 4.18 psrms, while the peak-to-peak jitter is 22.1 ps and 35.2 ps, respectively. The proposed frequency synthesizer occupies an active die area of 0.16mm2 and achieves power efficiency of 1.86 mW/GHz. Second, a hybrid phase/current-mode phase interpolator (HPC-PI) is presented to improve phase noise performance of ring oscillator-based fractional-N PLLs. The proposed HPC-PI alleviates the bandwidth trade-off between VCO phase noise suppression and ΔΣ quantization noise suppression. By combining the phase detection and interpolation functions into an XOR phase detector/interpolator (XOR PD-PI) block, accurate quantization error cancellation is achieved without using calibration. Use of a digital MDLL in front of the fractional-N PLL helps in alleviating the bandwidth limitation due to reference frequency and enables bandwidth extension even further. The extended bandwidth helps in suppressing the ring-VCO phase noise and lowering the in-band noise floor. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS process, the prototype generates fractional frequencies from 4.25 to 4.75 GHz, with an in-band phase noise floor of -104 dBc/Hz and 1.5 psrms integrated jitter. The clock multiplier achieves power efficiency of 2.4mW/GHz and FoM of -225.8 dB. Finally, an efficient clock generation, recovery, and distribution techniques for flexible-rate transceivers are presented. Using a fixed-frequency low-jitter clock provided by an integer-N PLL, fractional frequencies are generated/recovered locally using multi-phase fractional clock multipliers. Fabricated in a 65nm CMOS, the prototype transceiver can be programmed to operate at any rate from 3-to-10 Gb/s. At 10 Gb/s, integrated jitter of the Tx output and recovered clock is 360 fsrms and 758 fsrms, respectively.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Romesh Kumar Nandwana, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-17 at 15:09.The student, Romesh Kumar Nandwana, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-04-17 at 15:42.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-04-19 at 08:46.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10816 on 2017-08-10 at 15:05:48Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T20:32:59Z (GMT).

    Internet-of-Forensic (IoF): A blockchain based digital forensics framework for IoT applications

    No full text
    Digital forensic in Internet-of-Thing (IoT) paradigm is critical due to its heterogeneity and lack of transparency of evidence processing. Moreover, cross-border legalization makes a hindrance in such process pertaining to the cloud forensic issues. This urges a forensic framework for IoT which provides distributed computing, decentralization, and transparency of forensic investigation of digital evidences in cross-border perspectives. To this end, we propose a framework for IoT forensics that addresses the above mentioned issues. The proposed solution called Internet-of-Forensics (IoF) considers a blockchain tailored IoT framework for digital forensics. It provides a transparent view of the investigation process that involves all the stakeholders (e.g., heterogeneous devices, and cloud service providers) in a single framework. It uses blockchain-based case chain to deal with the investigation process including chain-of-custody and evidence chain. Consensus is used for consortium to solve the problems of cross-border legalization. This is also beneficial for a transparent and ease of forensic reference. The programmable lattice-based cryptographic primitives produce reduced complexities. It shows benefits for power-aware devices and puts an add-on to the novelty of the presented idea. IoF is generic; hence, it can be used by autonomous security operation centers, cyber-forensic investigators and manually initiated evidences under chain-of-custody for man-made crimes. Security services are assured as required by the framework. IoF is experimented and compared with the other state-of-the-art frameworks. The outcomes and analysis prove the efficiency of IoF concerning complexity, time consumption, memory and CPU utilization, gas consumption, and energy analysis
