Motivated by the growing importance of demand response in modern power system's operations, we propose an architecture and supporting algorithms for privacy preserving thermal inertial load management as a service provided by the load serving entity (LSE). We focus on an LSE managing a population of its customers' air conditioners, and propose a contractual model where the LSE guarantees quality of service to each customer in terms of keeping their indoor temperature trajectories within respective bands around the desired individual comfort temperatures. We show how the LSE can price the contracts differentiated by the flexibility embodied by the width of the specified bands. We address architectural questions of (i) how the LSE can strategize its energy procurement based on price and ambient temperature forecasts, (ii) how an LSE can close the real time control loop at the aggregate level while providing individual comfort guarantees to loads, without ever measuring the states of an air conditioner for privacy reasons. Control algorithms to enable our proposed architecture are given, and their efficacy is demonstrated on real data.

Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) architectures have become mainstream for designing processors. With a large number of cores, Network-On-Chip (NOC) provides a scalable communication method for CMP architectures, where wires become abundant resources available inside the chip. NOC must be carefully designed to meet constraints of power and area, and provide ultra low latencies. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Physical Channel Regulator (APCR) for NOC routers to exploit huge wiring resources. The flit size in an APCR router is less than the physical channel width (phit size) to provide finer granularity flow control. An APCR router allows flits from different packets or flows to share the same physical channel in a single cycle. The three regulation schemes (Monopolizing, Fair-sharing and Channel-stealing) intelligently allocate the output channel resources considering not only the availability of physical channels but the occupancy of input buffers. In an APCR router, each Virtual Channel can forward a dynamic number of flits every cycle depending on the run-time network status. Our simulation results using a detailed cycle-accurate simulator show that an APCR router improves the network throughput by over 100% in synthetic workloads, compared with a traditional design with the same buffer size. An APCR router can outperform a traditional router even if the buffer size is halved.

efficiency is increased. Each cell can hold up-to multiple A framework is designed for an ad hoc network, which is a MANET nodes. For a single iteration, under the new data matrix of cells of equal size and are connected in taurus structure the running time is decreased to a lower value. The structure. Each cell is of equal size and there are 100 of them next major design aspect is that it is assumed the simulation and contains number of nodes. The cells are connected in space as an infinite plane and that a node wanders off edge of taurus to make the simulation space infinite i.e. if the nodes simulation terrain will appear to enter at the opposite edges wanders off the boundary of one side then it appears at the and thus desired number of nodes will participate in the entire opposite side, this guarantee that all the nodes will participate simulation run. For this MPI [5] environment is used to run in the entire simulation. For this a parallel simulator is the program. designed considering routing protocols.The cells of the framework are connected in taurus form i.e.
