Towards the AlexNet Moment for Homomorphic Encryption: HCNN, theFirst Homomorphic CNN on Encrypted Data with GPUs
Deep Learning as a Service (DLaaS) stands as a promising solution for
cloud-based inference applications. In this setting, the cloud has a
pre-learned model whereas the user has samples on which she wants to run the
model. The biggest concern with DLaaS is user privacy if the input samples are
sensitive data. We provide here an efficient privacy-preserving system by
employing high-end technologies such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE),
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). FHE,
with its widely-known feature of computing on encrypted data, empowers a wide
range of privacy-concerned applications. This comes at high cost as it requires
enormous computing power. In this paper, we show how to accelerate the
performance of running CNNs on encrypted data with GPUs. We evaluated two CNNs
to classify homomorphically the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. Our solution
achieved a sufficient security level (> 80 bit) and reasonable classification
accuracy (99%) and (77.55%) for MNIST and CIFAR-10, respectively. In terms of
latency, we could classify an image in 5.16 seconds and 304.43 seconds for
MNIST and CIFAR-10, respectively. Our system can also classify a batch of
images (> 8,000) without extra overhead
Fast scaling in the residue number system
Copyright © 2009 IEEEA new scheme for precisely scaling numbers in the residue number system (RNS) is presented. The scale factor K can be any number coprime to the RNS moduli. Lookup table implementations are used as a basis for comparisons between the new scheme and scaling schemes from the literature. It is shown that new scheme decreases hardware complexity compared to previous schemes without affecting time complexity.Yinan Kong and Braden Phillip
Computation of maximal local (un)stable manifold patches by the parameterization method
In this work we develop some automatic procedures for computing high order
polynomial expansions of local (un)stable manifolds for equilibria of
differential equations. Our method incorporates validated truncation error
bounds, and maximizes the size of the image of the polynomial approximation
relative to some specified constraints. More precisely we use that the manifold
computations depend heavily on the scalings of the eigenvectors: indeed we
study the precise effects of these scalings on the estimates which determine
the validated error bounds. This relationship between the eigenvector scalings
and the error estimates plays a central role in our automatic procedures. In
order to illustrate the utility of these methods we present several
applications, including visualization of invariant manifolds in the Lorenz and
FitzHugh-Nagumo systems and an automatic continuation scheme for (un)stable
manifolds in a suspension bridge problem. In the present work we treat
explicitly the case where the eigenvalues satisfy a certain non-resonance
condition.Comment: Revised version, typos corrected, references adde
Neutron star-black hole mergers with a nuclear equation of state and neutrino cooling: Dependence in the binary parameters
We present a first exploration of the results of neutron star-black hole
mergers using black hole masses in the most likely range of
, a neutrino leakage scheme, and a modeling of the neutron
star material through a finite-temperature nuclear-theory based equation of
state. In the range of black hole spins in which the neutron star is tidally
disrupted (), we show that the merger consistently
produces large amounts of cool (), unbound,
neutron-rich material (). A comparable
amount of bound matter is initially divided between a hot disk () with typical neutrino luminosity , and a cooler tidal tail. After a short period of rapid
protonization of the disk lasting , the accretion disk cools
down under the combined effects of the fall-back of cool material from the
tail, continued accretion of the hottest material onto the black hole, and
neutrino emission. As the temperature decreases, the disk progressively becomes
more neutron-rich, with dimmer neutrino emission. This cooling process should
stop once the viscous heating in the disk (not included in our simulations)
balances the cooling. These mergers of neutron star-black hole binaries with
black hole masses and black hole spins high
enough for the neutron star to disrupt provide promising candidates for the
production of short gamma-ray bursts, of bright infrared post-merger signals
due to the radioactive decay of unbound material, and of large amounts of
r-process nuclei.Comment: 20 pages, 19 figure
Modeling the Young Sun's Solar Wind and its Interaction with Earth's Paleomagnetosphere
We present a focused parameter study of solar wind - magnetosphere
interaction for the young Sun and Earth, Ga ago, that relies on
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations for both the solar wind and the
magnetosphere. By simulating the quiescent young Sun and its wind we are able
to propagate the MHD simulations up to Earth's magnetosphere and obtain a
physically realistic solar forcing of it. We assess how sensitive the young
solar wind is to changes in the coronal base density, sunspot placement and
magnetic field strength, dipole magnetic field strength and the Sun's rotation
period. From this analysis we obtain a range of plausible solar wind conditions
the paleomagnetosphere may have been subject to. Scaling relationships from the
literature suggest that a young Sun would have had a mass flux different from
the present Sun. We evaluate how the mass flux changes with the aforementioned
factors and determine the importance of this and several other key solar and
magnetospheric variables with respect to their impact on the
paleomagnetosphere. We vary the solar wind speed, density, interplanetary
magnetic field strength and orientation as well as Earth's dipole magnetic
field strength and tilt in a number of steady-state scenarios that are
representative of young Sun-Earth interaction. This study is done as a first
step of a more comprehensive effort towards understanding the implications of
Sun-Earth interaction for planetary atmospheric evolution.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure
