High Power Factor and High Efficiency— You Can Have Both

Although improving the power-supply power factor (PF) can offer significant and necessary reductions in distribution losses, it is usually assumed that adding an active power-factor correction (PFC) stage will reduce the supply’s internal efficiency. It doesn’t have to be this way. This topic shows that several new system architectures are possible that can minimize system losses, accommodate a...

Leader or Majority: Why have one when you can have both? Improving Read Scalability in Raft-like consensus protocols

Consensus protocols are used to provide consistency guarantees over replicated data in a distributed system, and allow a set of replicas to work together as a coherent group. Raft is a consensus protocol that is designed to be easy to understand and implement. It is equivalent to Multi-Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. It uses a leader based approach for coordinating replication to a ma...
