Nowadays, anew generation of decentralized internet framework, coined as Web3.0, is emerging. However, due to the insufficient computing power on the user side and the know-your-customer regulatory requirements, it is unrealistic to fully achieve decentralization in Web3.0 currently. The service provider-intermediated architecture seems more practical by including federated service providers. At the same time, in order to fully stimulate users to create and share contents in the era of Web3.0, the importance of digital assets, e.g., digit tokens and cryptocurrencies, is increasing. Asa result, whether digital asset transfer can be securely and efficiently accommodated determines the further development of Web3.0. Blockchain is believed to be one effective solution to guarantee the security of digital asset transfer. However, existing works either target fully decentralized scenarios or fail to settle digital asset transfers with high efficiency. Thus in this paper, a formal yet novel service provider-intermediated architecture is firstly proposed to closely align with the practical requirements of Web3.0. Then, an efficient privacy-preserving distributed ledger construction protocol, coined as EPPDL, is proposed to safeguard digital asset transfer among users registered at different service providers. Concrete security analysis proves that the proposed EPPDL is secure against different types of adversaries, while comprehensive experiments verify its efficiency and effectiveness.

distributed deep neural network (DNN) training is important to support artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as image classification, natural language processing, and autonomous driving. Unfortunately, the distributed property makes the DNN training vulnerable to system failures. Check-pointing is generally used to support failure tolerance, which however suffers from high runtime overheads. In order to enable high-performance and low-latency checkpointing, we propose a lightweight checkpointing system for distributed DNN training, called LightCheck. To reduce the checkpointing overheads, we leverage fine-grained asynchronous checkpointing by pipelining checkpointing in a layer-wise way. To further decrease the checkpointing latency, we leverage the software-hardware codesign methodology by coalescing new hardware devices into our checkpointing system via a persistent memory (PM) manager. Experimental results on six representative real-world DNN models demonstrate that LightCheck offers more than 10x higher checkpointing frequency with lower runtime overheads than stateof-the-art checkpointing schemes. We have released the opensource codes for public use in https://***/LighT-chenml/ ***.

The number of computing devices, mostly smartphones is tremendous. The potential for distributed computing on them is no less huge. But developing applications for such networks is challenging especially as most middleware solutions for distributed computing are tailored to managed grids and clusters, so they lacks the elasticity needed to deal with the difficult conditions brought by multi-hops, mobility, heterogeneity, untrustability, etc. To solve this, several middleware were released, but none of them feature workable deployment solutions. This paper presents the deployment service of the Idawi middleware, which implements a fully decentralized and automatised deployment strategy into a Open Source middleware tailored to enabling distributed computing in difficult networking conditions like in the IoT/fog/edge.

The accurate decoding of ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) signals would bring us closer to understanding brain functionality, opening new pathways to fixing brain impairments and devising new Brain-computer Interface (BCI)-related applications. The impressive success of deep convolutional neural networks extracting information from raw data in computer vision and natural language processing has motivated their investigation into EEG signal decoding. Consequently, a number of deep convolutional neural network models with state-of-the-art performance have been proposed in the literature for EEG signal decoding. However, because all these works aimed to find the model architecture with the best decoding accuracy, the model's size was left unbounded in that exploration. Considering the model size in the design of deep convolutional neural networks for EEG decoding could make their implementation on low-power microcontrollers (that may be integrated into a wearable system) with limited memory feasible. Thus, in this paper, we search for the most accurate deep convolutional neural network on the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset that can also fit in a microcontroller with less than 256KB SRAM. Specifically, we use a Neural Architecture Search (NAS) algorithm that considers, apart from the model's accuracy, the model size, the latency, and the peak memory utilization when running the model's inference. We compare our models with the model with the best decoding accuracy in the literature on the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset (baseline). We show that the discovered models could achieve similar accuracy to the baseline model while shrinking the memory footprint during inference by a factor of approximate to x20, with a speedup in latency of up to x1.7 on average.

The scientific gateway BioinfoPortal for bioinformatics applications is hosted in the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) and is coupled to the Santos Dumont (SDumont) supercomputer environment. BioinfoPortal offers a catalog of bioinformatics software that benefits from the parallel and distributed architecture offered by LNCC. Task submissions consume SDumont nodes shared by other users of the supercomputer;thus, it is important they use the best configuration, which is defined as the best choice of the number of threads/nodes to be allocated for every task submission. This article presents an analysis using neural networks to estimate the computational time required to execute bioinformatics software in several scenarios using a pre-configured number of nodes and threads. Our goal is to demonstrate the performance behavior of software such as RAxML in Bioinfoportal, and which computational scenario can be chosen to efficiently execute software in SDumont. Results support that the neural networks are adequate to predict the variable elapsed time, Elapsed, to evaluate the relationships between input parameters, number of bootstraps (RAxML), number of threads, and number of nodes, and to identify the fastest configuration. The goal is to make BioinfoPortal a smart, efficient, and green gateway. In future studies, we propose to study more variables and predictors as well as other bioinformatics software in BioinfoPortal.
