Custom Computing for DNA Analysis of Third Generation Sequencers. The project aims to create a Domain Specific Computing System to analyse data emerging from third-generation DNA sequencers. The significance is that such a system will enable in-situ analysis, facilitating far wider deployment of modern DNA technologies. The expected outcome will be a portable low-power computing system containing custom instructions, custom cache configurations, and custom architectures. Benefits include: 1. d ....Custom Computing for DNA Analysis of Third Generation Sequencers. The project aims to create a Domain Specific Computing System to analyse data emerging from third-generation DNA sequencers. The significance is that such a system will enable in-situ analysis, facilitating far wider deployment of modern DNA technologies. The expected outcome will be a portable low-power computing system containing custom instructions, custom cache configurations, and custom architectures. Benefits include: 1. deployment of DNA analysis techniques in remote areas and in places without large servers and access to high-speed networks connecting to cloud servers; 2. quicker analysis enabling rapid response, cheaper, portable systems; and, 3. training for a cohort of research and honours students.Read moreRead less

Internet Timing for the Ages: Establishing the New Timekeeping System. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to myriad software applications. An economic way to synchronize such clocks is over a network, however the approach the Internet currently depends upon is unreliable and vulnerable. This project aims to establish a new architecture for networked timekeeping, built on future-proofed fundamentals, that will for the first time address each of accuracy, reliability, and trust. ....Internet Timing for the Ages: Establishing the New Timekeeping System. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to myriad software applications. An economic way to synchronize such clocks is over a network, however the approach the Internet currently depends upon is unreliable and vulnerable. This project aims to establish a new architecture for networked timekeeping, built on future-proofed fundamentals, that will for the first time address each of accuracy, reliability, and trust. The expected outcome is a national prototype, serving the public with accurate and trusted time, that will form the basis of the next generation timekeeping system for the Internet and the Internet of Things. Expected benefits include enhanced productivity across the digital economy, and resilience to GPS failures.Read moreRead less
