The Evolution of Computing Power in Switzerland
Milestones in the history of computing from the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, Lugano.
Defending Against the Next Stuxnet
Experts are skeptical of an Iranian plan to evade Stuxnet replay attacks.
IBM, Google, and Microsoft are all developing algorithms that understand the meaning of words.
New Areas for Application of Self-Organizing Routing
To organize the productive work of multiprocessor chips, it is necessary to establish an efficient distribution of computational processes between computational cores.
The Art Of Speedy Systems Conversions
System conversions represent a type of development in which project scope includes all the effort of an initial software release, plus an entirely new set of complexities.
Understanding NoSQL Database Types: Document
Document databases are particularly useful in app development.
Simba: Scaling Deep-Learning Inference with Chiplet-Based Architecture
This work investigates and quantifies the costs and benefits of using multi-chip-modules with fine-grained chiplets for deep learning inference, an application domain with large compute and on-chip storage requirements.
CoCoPIE: Enabling Real-Time AI on Off-the-Shelf Mobile Devices via Compression-Compilation Co-Design
A new framework allows intelligence on mainstream end devices without special hardware.
On the Requirements Engineer Role
The requirements engineer role is defined differently within most organizations.
Securing Internet Applications from Routing Attacks
Application-layer and network-layer defenses are critical for fortifying routing attacks.
In-Sensor Classification With Boosted Race Trees
We demonstrate the potential of a novel form of encoding, race logic, in which information is represented as the delay in the arrival of a signal.
Toward Confidential Cloud Computing
Extending hardware-enforced cryptographic protection to data while in use.
Technical Perspective: Race Logic Presents a Novel Form of Encoding
"In-Sensor Classification With Boosted Race Trees," by Georgios Tzimpragos, et al., proposes a surprising, novel, and creative approach to post-Moore's Law computing by rethinking the digital/analog boundary.
Shaping the Foundations of Programming Languages
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman discuss their early work, the 'Dragon Book,' and the future of 'live' computer science education.
The resilience of the Internet with alternative paths, including satellite and undersea and land cable as well as high speed laser links, might play a critical part of overcoming the side effects of a major CME (coronal mass ejection) event.
2020 ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Alfred Aho and Jeffrey Ullman helped develop formal language theory, invented efficient algorithms to drive the tasks of a compiler, and put them all together in 'The Dragon Book.'
The Risks of Election Believability (or Lack Thereof)
With 90% of the 2020 U.S. general election ballot contents verifiable by paper, why do only 65% of voters trust the results?
Code needs to run anywhere as long as the necessary dependencies can be resolved.
Collusion Rings Threaten the Integrity of Computer Science Research
Experiences discovering attempts to subvert the peer-review process.
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.
