A MacBook based earthquake early warning system

2016

We demonstrate an early stage of our prototypical development of an earthquake early warning system based on Apple's MacBook computers. This system, called MacSeisApp, utilizes the Sudden Motion Sensors in MacBooks to detect seismic activities. …

Throughput Maximization of Virtual Machine Communications in Bandwidth-Constrained Data Centers

2021 · 2021 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM)

In this paper we study a new algorithmic problem that maximizes the throughput of virtual machine (VM) communication in bandwidth-constrained data centers. Given a set of VM pairs with different bandwidth demands that are already …

An elementary approach to mixing and dissipation enhancement by transport noise

2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We investigate the mixing properties of solutions to the stochastic transport equation $d u= \circ d W \cdot\nabla u$, where the driving noise $W(t,x)$ is white in time, colored and divergence-free in space. Furthermore, we …
