Enhancing Availability for Critical Services
PublicationTraditional approaches to provide classes of resilient service take the physical network availability as an input and then deploy redundancy and restoration techniques at various layers, often without full knowledge of mappings between layers. This makes it hard (and often inefficient) to ensure the high availability required by critical services which are typically a small fraction of the total traffic. Here, the innovative technique...

Theory versus experiment for vacuum Rabi oscillations in lossy cavities. II. Direct test of uniqueness of vacuum
PublicationThe paper continues the analysis of vacuum Rabi oscillations we started in part I [Phys. Rev. A 79, 033836 (2009)]. Here we concentrate on experimental consequences for cavity QED of two different classes of representations of harmonic-oscillator Lie algebras. The zero-temperature master equation, derived in part I for irreducible representations of the algebra, is reformulated in a reducible representation that models electromagnetic...

A Fail-Safe NVRAM Based Mechanism for Efficient Creation and Recovery of Data Copies in Parallel MPI Applications
PublicationThe paper presents a fail-safe NVRAM based mechanism for creation and recovery of data copies during parallel MPI application runtime. Specifically, we target a cluster environment in which each node has an NVRAM installed in it. Our previously developed extension to the MPI I/O API can take advantage of NVRAM regions in order to provide an NVRAM based cache like mechanism to significantly speed up I/O operations and allow to preload...
