Abstract:
A method for sparse channel estimation in MIMO OFDM systems with a plurality of subchannels having the same sparsity structure is presented. The inventive method comprises initializing a plurality of residual vectors and observation generating matrices modeling the channel, sending a pilot signal for each subcarrier, converting the pilot signals to tap positions, detecting an optimal tap position, updating the residual vectors by removing the one residual vector having the optimal tap position, updating the generating matrices in accordance with the optimal residual vector, calculating weighted residuals based on the updated residual vectors, and repeating the steps, except initializing, until a stopping condition is met, wherein the updated observation matrices estimate the sparse channel. In one embodiment, the observation generating matrices are omitted. In one embodiment, multiple vectors are removed during one iteration. Pilot placement and pilot allocation techniques are presented to optimize the method.

The chains and containers may be automatically split and/or merged in response to changes in storage node network configurations and may be stored in erasure coded fragments distributed across different storage nodes. Data services provided in a distributed secondary storage system utilizing redundant chains of containers may include global deduplication, dynamic scalability, support for multiple redundancy classes, data location, fast reading and writing of data and rebuilding of data due to node or disk failures.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention combine static analysis, source code instrumentation and feedback-guided fuzz testing to automatically detect resource exhaustion denial of service attacks in software and generate inputs of coma for vulnerable code segments. The static analysis of the code highlights portions that are potentially vulnerable, such as loops and recursions whose exit conditions are dependent on user input. The code segments are dynamically instrumented to provide a feedback value at the end of each execution. Evolutionary techniques are then employed to search among the possible inputs to find inputs that maximize the feedback score.

Abstract:
A system and method for integrated circuit diagnosis includes partitioning an integrated circuit design into sub-regions according to a structure of the integrated circuit design. A decision function is generated for a sub-region by training a machine learning tool. A sequence of test patterns is applied to a device under test (DUT) to determine responses. If the DUT fails, all the decision functions are evaluated with the errors produced by the DUT. A sub-region whose decision function yielded a highest value is selected to find a defect sub-region in the DUT.
