— Robots that can interact naturally with humans require the integration and coordination of many different components with heavy computational demands. We argue that an architec...
For decades now, the notion of “performance” has been synonymous with “speed” (as measured in FLOPS, short for floating-point operations per second). Unfortunately, this ...
Fault tolerant distributed protocols typically utilize a homogeneous fault model, either fail-crash or fail-Byzantine, where all processors are assumed to fail in the same manner....
