Electrical interconnects revitalized
Models of electrical interconnects, including inductance and skin effect, are reviewed. The models are used for estimating the performance of electrical interconnects, particularly related to delays, data rates, and power consumption for off-chip and on-chip interconnects and for clock distribution. It is demonstrated that correctly utilized, electrical interconnects do not severely limit chip ...
متن کاملThe revitalized NSLS VUV ring
A status report on the revitalization of the NSLS VUV ring will be presented, concentrating on three areas: 1) the four infrared ports (U2A/B, U4IR, U10A/B, and U12IR), 2) conversion of out-of-date toroidal grating monochromators to spherical grating type (U4A, U7A, and U12A), and 3) new insertion device beamlines (U5UA and U13UB). All of these beamlines were designed (new ones) or upgraded (ol...
متن کاملStochastic Gradient Estimation
We consider the problem of efficiently estimating gradients from stochastic simulation. Although the primary motivation is their use in simulation optimization, the resulting estimators can also be useful in other ways, e.g., sensitivity analysis. The main approaches described are finite differences (including simultaneous perturbations), perturbation analysis, the likelihood ratio/score functi...
متن کاملQuantum computational gradient estimation
The vector gradient of a real-valued function f of a vector argument can be calculated using just two calls to a black-box quantum oracle for f . The mechanism is simple, and capitalises on the fact that, in the vicinity of a point x, e2πiλf(x) is periodic, with period parallel and inversely proportional to ∇f(x). A superposed state is created discretising a small hyperrectangle around the doma...
متن کاملRobust Estimation via Robust Gradient Estimation
We provide a new computationally-efficient class of estimators for risk minimization. We show that these estimators are robust for general statistical models: in the classical Huber ǫ-contamination model and in heavy-tailed settings. Our workhorse is a novel robust variant of gradient descent, and we provide conditions under which our gradient descent variant provides accurate estimators in a g...
