dc.title: Designing power-efficient multi-chiplet processors for data centers : modeling, calibration, and optimization dc.description.abstract: The escalating computational demands of data centers, coupled with the rising cost and complexity of energy delivery, have made power efficiency a first-class design constraint in modern processors. As process technologies scale and architectures diversi…

CLASS OF 2026 - Having earned her Bachelor's in Industrial & Systems Engineering in December 2025, this USC Viterbi graduate is now crossing the finish line of her Master's in Engineering Management — and she's just getting started. The post Built Different: How a Lima Factory Girl Earned Her Viterbi Degree appeared first on USC Viterbi | School of Engineering .

LTU Engineering Students Design and Deliver Systems That Compete at the Highest Level and Perform When It Counts At Lawrence Technological University, engineering students are measured by how their work performs. This spring, Blue Devil Motorsports teams rolled out their 2026 vehicles, putting months of design and build work on display in a moment that […] The post Built to Win appeared first on …

Modern cloud-native systems often fall victim to their own scale. A single misconfigured deployment or localized infrastructure degradation can quickly cascade across an entire distributed system, compromising the service for all users simultaneously. When architectural boundaries fail to contain faults, engineering teams face catastrophic service level agreement breaches and prolonged recovery t…

How Cloudflare Built Resilience: Lessons from Their Infrastructure Overhaul When a single misconfiguration can cascade across a global CDN and take down customer traffic, every deployment becomes a high-stakes decision. Cloudflare recently completed a massive push to make their infrastructure fundamentally more resilient—and their approach offers critical lessons for anyone operating at scale. Th…

🛡️ Structural Immunity: Redefining Network Infrastructure with Penta-V Kernel In the modern digital landscape, network infrastructure has evolved beyond physical cables and racks. Today, the resilience of a system is defined by the mathematical integrity of the software kernel managing the data flow. Most traditional systems suffer from "Linear Failure" —a state where buffers fill up during sudde…

Real-time precise positioning depends on correction products that refine satellite orbit, clock, and bias information. But when those products contain hidden errors, positioning quality can degrade rapidly, and conventional monitoring often misses the problem until ambiguities have already been fixed.

A research team has developed a camera-only visual odometry (VO) system that uses prebuilt colored point cloud maps to deliver more accurate and robust localization with reduced drift in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-challenged environments.

_The Law of Critical Sensitivity and Impact Disproportionality (Lcsid)_. 2026Abstract This paper formalizes the Law of Critical Sensitivity and Impact Disproportionality (LCSID), a theoretical framework that redefines risk assessment in high-density energetic systems. LCSID posits that in high-sensitivity environments, the magnitude of impact ($I$) remains catastrophic regardless of probability m…

A new technical paper, “In-SoIC ESD Protection for Chiplet-Based 3D Microsystems: Future Research Directions,” was published by researchers at the University of California, Riverside. Abstract “Heterogeneous integration opens a pathway to three-dimensional chiplet-based microsystem chips. Electrostatic discharge reliability is a major challenge to future smart chips featuring rich functionalities…

CLASS OF 2026 - For graduating USC Viterbi senior Avery Gonzales, engineering and running follow the same logic: break the system down, find inefficiencies and keep improving. That mindset has taken her from a struggling 8th grader to a Boston Marathon qualifier, and from ISE student to a future full-time role at United Airlines. The post Graduating Engineer, Boston Marathon Qualifier: She Turned…

Designing High Availability: The Role of Redundancy in Data Centers When we talk about high availability in infrastructure, redundancy is usually the first principle that comes into play. A well-designed data center removes single points of failure by building redundancy across three critical layers: power, cooling, and network. Let’s break it down. Power Redundancy Power failures are one of the …

Designing HPC Cluster Networking: What Speeds You Actually Need When building or scaling an HPC cluster, CPUs and GPUs usually get most of the attention. But in practice, the network design is just as critical. A poorly designed network can bottleneck even the most powerful compute nodes, while a well designed one can significantly improve performance without changing hardware. This guide breaks …

Designing for Human Systems: Integrating Organizational Psychology into Systems-Theoretic Safety Analysis for Extreme Teams Carey, Tyler K. As the complexity of high-risk domains such as space exploration and energy production grows, safety analysis must account for cognitive, organizational, and team-based factors that shape human performance. System-Theoretic Process Analysis is a leading metho…

Model Based Digital Engineering: Accelerating Digital Transformation through Integrated Data and Model Management Framework Pradhan, Jayanta Kumar The increasing complexity of engineered systems and the demand for rapid innovation are straining traditional, siloed engineering practices. Despite the adoption of digital tools, many organizations suffer from fragmented environments, leading to ineff…

A System Approach To Architecting Multi-Agent Systems In Enterprises Ruscalleda-Escobar, Gabriel This thesis develops a systematic framework for the architecture, evaluation, and phased deployment of AI-powered multi-agent systems in enterprise environments. Beginning with a comprehensive review of agent capabilities, architectural patterns, coordination protocols, and governance models, the stud…

How can a system remain internally coherent while drifting away from its intended purpose? This paper examines the certification of the Boeing 737 MAX to show how institutional intent—flight safety—can be translated into an operational proxy that comes to guide both action and evaluation. As this proxy becomes decision-authoritative, contradictory evidence may no longer enter the decision process…

Attending large sporting events is thrilling, but long queues, overcrowded stalls, and unpredictable wait times often ruin the experience. Most attendees end up wasting valuable time just trying to access food or facilities. To tackle this real-world problem, I built SmartQ Stadium, a real-time queue management system designed to improve crowd flow and enhance the overall stadium experience. Smar…
