| 263-4505-00L | Algorithms for Large-Scale Graph Processing The deadline for deregistering expires at the end of the second week of the semester. Students who are still registered after that date, but do not attend the seminar, will officially fail the seminar. | W | 2 KP | 2S | M. Ghaffari | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | This is a theory seminar, where we present and discuss recent algorithmic developments for processing large-scale graphs. In particular, we focus on Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) algorithms. MPC is a clean and general theoretical framework that captures the essential aspects of computational problems in large-scale processing settings such as MapReduce, Hadoop, Spark, Dryad, etc. | |||||
| Lernziel | This seminar familiarizes students with foundational aspects of large-scale graph processing, and especially the related algorithmic tools and techniques. In particular, we discuss recent developments in the area of Massively Parallel Computation. This is a mathematical abstraction of practical large-scale processing settings such as MapReduce, and it has been receiving significant attention over the past few years. The seminar assumes no particular familiarity with parallel computation. However, we expect that all the students are comfortable with basics of algorithms design and analysis, as well as probability theory. In the course of the seminar, the students learn how to structure a scientific presentation (in English) which covers the key ideas of a paper, while omitting the less significant details. | |||||
| Inhalt | The seminar will cover a number of the recent papers on Massively Parallel Computation. As mentioned above, no familiarity with parallel computation is needed and all the relevant background information will be explain by the instructor in the first lecture. | |||||
| Literatur | The papers will be presented in the first session of the seminar. | |||||

| 227-0781-00L | Low-Power System Design | W | 6 KP | 2V + 2U | J. Beutel | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to low-power and low-energy design techniques from a systems perspective including aspects both from hard- and software. The focus of this lecture is on cutting across a number of related fields discussing architectural concepts, modeling and measurement techniques as well as software design mainly using the example of networked embedded systems. | |||||
| Lernziel | Knowledge of the state-of-the-art in low power system design, understanding recent research results and their implication on industrial products. | |||||
| Inhalt | Designing systems with a low energy footprint is an increasingly important. There are many applications for low-power systems ranging from mobile devices powered from batteries such as today's smart phones to energy efficient household appliances and datacenters. Key drivers are to be found mainly in the tremendous increase of mobile devices and the growing integration density requiring to carefully reason about power, both from a provision and consumption viewpoint. Traditional circuit design classes introduce low-power solely from a hardware perspective with a focus on the power performance of a single or at most a hand full of circuit elements. Similarly, low-power aspects are touched in a multitude of other classes, mostly as a side topic. However in successfully designing systems with a low energy footprint it is not sufficient to only look at low-power as an aspect of second class. In modern low-power system design advanced CMOS circuits are of course a key ingredient but successful low-power integration involves many more disciplines such as system architecture, different sources of energy as well as storage and most importantly software and algorithms. In this lecture we will discuss aspects of low-power design as a first class citizen introducing key concepts as well as modeling and measurement techniques focusing mainly on the design of networked embedded systems but of course equally applicable to many other classes of systems. The lecture is further accompanied by a reading seminar as well as exercises and lab sessions. | |||||
