This article presents the Color‐Material‐Finish (CMF) project developed for the renovation of Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy. Fortezza da Basso—a large, fortified complex consisting of old and new buildings—is the main venue in Tuscany for international exhibitions and cultural activities. In 2010, the Municipality of Florence started its restoration, which is still ongoing. The goal is to renovate...
A key motivation behind the success of Cloud Computing is that virtualization allows significant energy and cost savings by sharing physical resources. Another source of savings in virtualized architectures is the use of h/w accelerators (e.g. GPUs, FPGAs). This paper analyzes the performance achieved by a computationally demanding task running on a commodity server when a GPU-based accelerator is...
The combination of emerging concepts, such as Fog Computing, Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization will contribute to transform the network into a flexible and dynamical continuum of resources, on which services can be easily deployed and managed (network programmability). In this scenario, a major topic is the use of ad hoc h/w accelerators, in particular to provide the...
The promises of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) complemented with Software Defined Networking (SDN) can be simply stated as: get much more, pay much less. Adopting such paradigms, Service Operators expect to achieve high reductions in capital investments and greater operational agility. However, applying these concepts to existing networks will require challenging architectural updates, as...
