This 2-day course by Ariel Segall is an introduction to the fundamental technologies behind Trusted Computing. You will learn what Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) are and what capabilities they can provide both at an in-depth technical level and in an enterprise context. You will also learn about how other technologies such as the Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) and virtualization can both take advantage of TPMs and be used to enhance the TPM's capabilities. We will cover major use cases for trusted computing, including machine authentication, data protection, and attestation. This course will also introduce you to the various software resources that exist today to support TPMs, give a high-level overview of related research and development projects, and briefly discuss other trusted computing standards such as Trusted Network Connect which may be relevant to enterprise deployment of TPMs and trusted computing. Objectives: * Introduce students to both basic and advanced TPM capabilities, as well as other trusted computing standards and technologies * Show how TPMs and related technologies can be used in enterprise environments and for cutting-edge research * Give students the necessary tools and information to design and build systems that take advantage of trusted computing

Today's supercomputers and parallel computers provide an unprecedented amount of computational power in one machine. A basic understanding of the parallel computing techniques that assist in the capture and utilization of that computational power is essential to appreciate the capabilities and the limitations of parallel supercomputers. In addition, an understanding of technical vocabulary is critical in order to converse about parallel computers. The relevant techniques, vocabulary, currently available hardware architectures, and programming languages which provide the basic concepts of parallel computing are introduced in this document. This document updates the document entitled Introduction to Parallel Supercomputing, M88-42, October 1988. It includes a new section on languages for parallel computers, updates the hardware related sections, and includes current references.

This study reports the efforts of the Water and Molecular Networks Project (WAMNet), a program in which high school chemistry students use computer simulations developed at Boston University (Massachusetts) to model the three-dimensional structure of molecules and the hydrogen bond network that holds water molecules together. This case study examined the changes of a chemistry teacher in one 10th grade (n=17) and one 11th grade (n=16) chemistry class that were using the WAMNet computer simulations. Results are discussed concerning changes in teaching strategies, student learning and motivation, changes in the classroom, and logistical issues in getting the computers and the network set up in the school. The study concludes that: (1) teaching models used in the class changed from teacher-centered to more student-centered; (2) students were on task for most of the time they used the computers; (3) students used e-mail to contact friends rather than enter into mentoring relationships with the graduate student programmers at the university; and (4) it takes considerable cooperation between the participating groups to pilot test this kind of high technology to a school and have it used in a productive manner.

Introduction Programming

This review provides a gentle introduction to one-way quantum computing in distributed architectures. One-way quantum computation shows significant promise as a computational model for distributed systems, particularly those architectures which rely on probabilistic entangling operations. We review the theoretical underpinnings of one-way quantum computation and discuss the practical issues related to exploiting the one-way model in distributed architectures.

A brief introduction to the Python computing environment is given. By solving the master equation encountered in quantum transport, we give an example of how to solve the ODE problems in Python. The ODE solvers used are the ZVODE routine in Scipy and the bsimp solver in GSL. For the former, the equation can be in its complex-valued form, while for the latter, it has to be rewritten to a real-valued form. The focus is on the detailed workflow of the implementation process, rather than on the syntax of the python language, with the hope to help readers simulate their own models in Python.

The Computer Book - An Introduction to Computers and Computing. Computers are affecting all of us in one way or another - and they’ll do so more and more as the years go by. They’re finding their way into banks, offices, shops, schools, onto the factory floor and now into the home. As everything else goes up in price, computer power is the one commodity which is becoming cheaper each year, bringing the personal microcomputer now within the reach of an increasingly large number of people. What does the computer mean to you? An opportunity? A threat? A mystery? Something only for young people? Something surrounded in incomprehensible gobbledegook? Gas bills? Space Invaders? Something to increase the efficiency of your business? A challenging new hobby? Whatever your view, this book will help you to learn what it’s all about - what this hitherto mysterious technology could mean for you or your children. Do you know a RAM from a ROM? Do big computers and the very small ones work in the same way? What is binary code? What is BASIC? Can anyone learn it? Even more confused? Then this could be the book for you. It attempts to answer these questions and many more. It is written for the layman. Using plain English it explains what computers do for us in the modern world, how and why they have developed and how they work. It looks at the business of problem solving and reminds us that computers don’t solve problems, we do. It provides an introduction to programming and to what it’s like to own a personal microcomputer. It explores how the microcomputer can be used as a tool in a whole range of areas as well as leading to a compelling new hobby and a lot of fun for young and old. Finally it takes a look into the future to see where this technological revolution might be taking us and what its limitations are.
