1. CXL and the Return of Scale-Up Database Engines 

   Lerner, Alberto; Alonso, Gustavo (2024)

   Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment

   The trend toward specialized processing devices such as TPUs, DPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs has exposed the weaknesses of PCIe in interconnecting these devices and their hosts. Several attempts have been proposed to improve, augment, or downright replace PCIe, and more recently, these efforts have converged into a standard called Compute Express Link (CXL). CXL is already on version 2.0 in terms of commercial availability, but its potential to ...

2. Spatial dynamics of electron density and incompressibility in monolayer graphene under quantum Hall conditions 

   Atci, Huseyin; Onem, Zeynep; Erkarslan, Uğur; et al. (2024)

   Computational Condensed Matter

   This study uses self-consistent computational methods to theoretically investigate the transport mechanisms of monolayer graphene structures under quantum Hall conditions. From the results obtained, incompressible strips formed in the center of the sample. The system exhibits an insulating behavior since the electrons here do not contribute to the shielding. As compressible strips are formed at the edges, more electrons can be placed in ...

4. Combined Electrostatic and Strain Engineering of BiFeO3 Thin Films at the Morphotropic Phase Boundary 

   Nordlander, Johanna; Grosso, Bastien F.; Rossell, Marta D.; et al. (2024)

   Advanced Electronic Materials

   Multiferroic BiFeO3 exhibits a morphotropic phase boundary at large compressive strain that merges metastable phases of tetragonal (T) and rhombohedral (R) character resulting in giant ferroelectric and electromechanical responses. To utilize this functionality in devices, it is essential to understand the response of these ferroelectric phases to the environment of a nanoscale heterostructure. Here, the emergence of ferroelectricity near ...

5. Bug or feature? Institutional misalignments between construction technology and venture capital 

   Walzer, Alexander N.; Tan, Tan; Graser, Konrad; et al. (2024)

   Construction Management and Economics

   Despite substantial investments into new technologies, the adoption of systemic innovations such as construction robotics remains limited. Therefore, this study investigates the discrepancy between the assumed advantages of construction technologies and their actual performance during practical implementation, using construction robotics as the empirical case. Through an abductive thematic analysis of 127 interviews across Europe and North ...
