This thesis describes a minimal implementation of a cryptographically secure direct recording electronic (DRE) voting system, built with a low-cost Xilinx FPGA board. Our system, called VoteBox Nano, follows the same design ...

Data centers are growing in importance since computation is moving from personal computers to the Internet. Data centers often use Ethernet as the network fabric; however Ethernet presents fundamental limitations to ...

As predicted by Gordon Moore, the number of transistors on a chip has roughly doubled every two years. Microprocessors featuring over a billion transistors are no longer science fiction. For example, Intel's Itanium 9000 ...
