The performance of a machine learning algorithm is highly sensitive to the choice of its hyperparameters. In an FL setting, hyperparameter optimization poses new challenges. In this work, we investigated the impact of different hyperparameter optimization approaches in an FL system. In an effort to reduce communication costs, a critical bottleneck in FL, we investigated a local hyperparameter optimization approach that – in contrast to a global hyperparameter optimization approach – allows every client to have its own hyperparameter configuration. We implemented these approaches based on grid search and Bayesian optimization and evaluated the algorithms on the MNIST data set using an i.i.d. partition and on an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor based industrial data set using a non-i.i.d. partition.} }

This stochastic transport equation makes it possible to describe device variability, noise, and fluctuations. We present---as theoretical results---an existence and local uniqueness theorem for the weak solution of the stochastic drift-diffusion-Poisson system based on a fixed-point argument in appropriate function spaces. We also show how to quantify random-dopant effects in this formulation. Additionally, we have developed an optimal multi-level Monte-Carlo method for the approximation of the solution. The method is optimal in the sense that the computational work is minimal for a given error tolerance.} }

This simulator is based on a system of partial differential equations calculating the electrostatic potential of the whole device and the charge concentrations in the semiconducting nanowire. Therefore, three domains need to be modeled. The nanowire is described by the drift-diffusion-Poisson system, the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is used for the simulation of an aqueous solution, and the Poisson equation holds in the remaining oxide. Such devices can be used as gas sensors, and by functionalization of the nanowire surface, i.e., by attaching probe molecules, they can also be used for the detection of biomolecules in aqueous solutions. Binding of target molecules to the surface induces a field effect due to changes of charges in a small layer around the surface. This effect is responsible for the sensor response and hence is of paramount importance. A homogenization method resulting in two jump conditions is implemented which splits the computation into the charge of the boundary layer and into the remaining device. In order to take into account the geometry of the devices, 3d simulations are necessary and hence a parallelization technique has been developed. To include the jump conditions of the homogenization method, a novel finite-element tearing and interconnecting (FETI) method has been developed. With this simulator it is possible to solve the three dimensional and heterogeneous system of partial differential equations with discontinuities in feasible time using realizable computer power. As a result, sensitivity in terms of geometrical and physical properties can be predicted and sensors can be improved.} }

NEMO 3-D uses the Valence Force Field (VFF) method for strain and the empirical tight binding (ETB) for the electronic structure calculations. Various ETB models are available, ranging from single s orbitals (single band effective mass), over sp$^3$s* to sp$^3$d$^5$s* models, with and without explicit representation of spin. The code is highly optimized for operation on cluster computing systems. Simulations of systems of 64 million atoms (strain) and 21 million atoms have been demonstrated. This implies that every atom is accounted for in simulation volumes of (110nm)$^3$ and (77nm)$^3$, respectively. Such simulations require parallel execution on 64 itanium2 CPUs for around 12 hours. A simple effective mass calculation of an isolated quantum dot, in contrast, requires about 20 seconds on a single CPU. NEMO 3-D therefore offers the opportunity to engage both educators and advanced researchers, utilizing a single code. nanoHUB.org is the community web site hosted by the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) dedicated to bridge education, research, and development for the whole nanoscience and nanotechnology community. This paper reviews the mission of the NCN exemplified by the development and deployment of the NEMO 3-D tool.} }

Therefore every transport simulator which is supposed to accurately simulate nano-devices must have a proper model for the inclusion of the Coulomb interactions. This paper proposes to use a 3D FMM (fast multi-pole method) (Greengard and Rokhlin, 1997; Cheng et al., 1999). The FMM is based on the idea of condensing the information of the potential generated by point sources in series expansions. After calculating expansions in a hierarchical manner, the long-range part of the potential is obtained by evaluating the series at the point in question and the short-range part is calculated by direct summation. Its computational effort is only O(n) where n is the number of particles. In summary, the use of the FMM approach for semiconductor transport simulations was validated. Simulation times are decreased significantly and effects due to electron-electron and electron-impurity interactions are observed as expected. Since the FMM algorithm operates independently of the grid used in the MC simulation, it can be easily included into existing MC device simulation codes.} }

The output of the feature scale simulations is used as input to a capacitance extraction tool, whose results are made available directly to the circuit designer. We discuss the utilized simulation tools and their integration.

The grid generation algorithm was applied to sample structures which highlight the features of this method. Furthermore we generated grids for the simulation of a high voltage trench gate MOSFET.

Simulations using the radiosity modeling approach and the level set method provide accurate results, but their speed has to be considered when employing advanced models and for purposes of inverse modeling. In this paper strategies for increasing the accuracy of deposition simulations while decreasing simulation times are presented. Two algorithms were devised: first, intertwining narrow banding and extending the speed function yields a fast and accurate level set algorithm. Second, an algorithm which coarsens the surface reduces the computational demands of the radiosity method. Finally measurements of a typical TEOS deposition process are compared with simulation results both with and without coarsening of the surface elements. It was found that the computational effort is significantly reduced without sacrificing the accuracy of the simulations.} }
