Artificial Intelligence for Synthetic Biology
The opportunities and challenges of adapting and applying AI principles to synbio.
Rateless Codes for Near-Perfect Load Balancing in Distributed Matrix-Vector Multiplication
We propose a rateless fountain coding strategy and prove that its latency is asymptotically equal to ideal load balancing, and it performs asymptotically zero redundant computations.
This paper presents a study on the practicality of operating system kernel debloating, that is, reducing kernel code that is not needed by the target applications.
FBI agents Saskia Lipcott and Dinah Carter have one last chance to evade Dupin's corrupt AI.
Neural Networks Learn to Speed Up Simulations
Physics-informed machine learning is gaining attention, but suffers from training issues.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
