Nvidia Steps Back From Cloud Effort to Compete with AWS
Nvidia is stepping back from its nascent cloud computing business, which had put it in quasi-competition with Amazon Web Services. It has lessened its efforts to attract businesses to the cloud service, dubbed DGX Cloud, said a person with direct knowledge of the situation. Instead, Nvidia plans ...

Rethinking the confidential cloud through a unified low-level abstraction for composable isolation
Securing sensitive cloud workloads requires composing confidential virtual machines (CVMs) with nested enclaves or sandboxes. Unfortunately, each new isolation boundary adds ad-hoc access control mechanisms, hardware extensions, and trusted software. This escalating complexity bloats the TCB, complicates end-to-end attestation, and leads to fragmentation across platforms and cloud service providers (CSPs). We introduce a unified isolation model that delegates enforceable, composable, and atte…

Evaluating Variational Quantum Circuit Architectures for Distributed Quantum Computing
Scaling quantum computers, i.e., quantum processing units (QPUs) to enable the execution of large quantum circuits is a major challenge, especially for applications that should provide a quantum advantage over classical algorithms. One approach to scale QPUs is to connect multiple machines through quantum and classical channels to form clusters or even quantum networks. Using this paradigm, several smaller QPUs can collectively execute circuits that each would not be able on its own. However, c…

Real-Time Cloth Simulation Using WebGPU: Evaluating Limits of High-Resolution
This study explores the capabilities of WebGPU, an emerging web graphics paradigm, for real-time cloth simulation. Traditional WebGL-based methods have been in handling complex physical simulations due to their emphasis on graphics rendering rather than general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) operations. WebGPU, designed to provide modern 3D graphics and computational capabilities, offers significant improvements through parallel processing and support for computational shaders. In this work, we implemente…

Proof of Cloud: Data Center Execution Assurance for Confidential VMs
Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs) protect data in use by running workloads inside hardware-isolated environments. In doing so, they also inherit the limitations of the underlying hardware. Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which enforce this isolation, explicitly exclude adversaries with physical access from their threat model. Commercial TEEs, e.g., Intel TDX, thus assume infrastructure providers do not physically exploit hardware and serve as safeguards instead. This creates a tension…

Over-the-Top Resource Broker System for Split Computing: An Approach to Distribute Cloud Computing Infrastructure
6G network architectures will usher in a wave of innovative services and capabilities, introducing concepts like split computing and dynamic processing nodes. This implicates a paradigm where accessing resources seamlessly aligns with diverse processing node characteristics, ensuring a uniform interface. In this landscape, the identity of the operator becomes inconsequential, paving the way for a collaborative ecosystem where multiple providers contribute to a shared pool of resources. At the c…

Local Density-Based Anomaly Score Normalization for Domain Generalization
State-of-the-art anomalous sound detection (ASD) systems in domain-shifted conditions rely on projecting audio signals into an embedding space and using distance-based outlier detection to compute anomaly scores. One of the major difficulties to overcome is the so-called domain mismatch between the anomaly score distributions of a source domain and a target domain that differ acoustically and in terms of the amount of training data provided. A decision threshold that is optimal for one domain m…

Secure and Efficient Out-of-band Call Metadata Transmission
The STIR/SHAKEN (S/S) attestation Framework mandated by the United States, Canada, and France to combat pervasive telephone abuse has not achieved its goals, partly because legacy non-VoIP infrastructure could not participate. The industry solution to extend S/S broadcasts sensitive metadata of every non-VoIP call in plaintext to every third party required to facilitate the system. It has no mechanism to determine whether a provider's request for call data is appropriate, nor can it ensure that…
