In TESA, according to load, hosts in data centers are divided into four classes, that is,host with light load, host with proper load, host with middle load and host with heavy load. By defining TESA, VMs on lightly loaded host or VMs on heavily loaded host are migrated to another host with proper load; VMs on properly loaded host or VMs on middling loaded host are kept constant. Then, based on the TESA, five kinds of VM selection policies(minimization of migrations policy based on TESA(MIMT), maximization of migrations policy based on TESA(MAMT), highest potential growth policy based on TESA(HPGT), lowest potential growth policy based on TESA(LPGT) and random choice policy based on TESA(RCT)) are presented, and MIMT is chosen as the representative policy through experimental comparison. Finally, five research directions are put forward on future energy management. The results of simulation indicate that, as compared with single threshold(ST) algorithm and minimization of migrations(MM) algorithm, MIMT significantly improves the energy efficiency in data centers.展开更多

This study focuses on the computational efficiency, including the computational time and accuracy, of numerical integrations in solving FE numerical substructure in RTHSs. First, sparse matrix storage schemes are adopted to decrease the computational time of FE numerical substructure. In this way, the task execution time(TET) decreases such that the scale of the numerical substructure model increases. Subsequently, several commonly used explicit numerical integration algorithms, including the central difference method(CDM), the Newmark explicit method, the Chang method and the Gui-λ method, are comprehensively compared to evaluate their computational time in solving FE numerical substructure. CDM is better than the other explicit integration algorithms when the damping matrix is diagonal, while the Gui-λ(λ = 4) method is advantageous when the damping matrix is non-diagonal. Finally, the effect of time delay on the computational accuracy of RTHSs is investigated by simulating structure-foundation systems. Simulation results show that the influences of time delay on the displacement response become obvious with the mass ratio increasing, and delay compensation methods may reduce the relative error of the displacement peak value to less than 5% even under the large time-step and large time delay.展开更多

However, MCC faces the problem of energy efficiency because of randomly varying channels. A scheduling algorithm is proposed by introducing the Lyapunov optimization, which can dynamically choose users to transmit data based on queue backlog and channel statistics. The Lyapunov analysis shows that the proposed scheduling algorithm can make a tradeoff between queue backlog and energy consumption in the channel-aware mobile cloud computing system. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

There are many obstacles to improving system efficiency. The key root is the conflict between the fixed general computer architecture and the variable requirements of applications. Proactive reconfigurable computing architecture(PRCA) is proposed to improve computing efficiency. PRCA dynamically constructs an efficient computing architecture for a specific application via reconfigurable technology by perceiving requirements,workload and utilization of computing resources. Proactive decision support system(PDSS),hybrid reconfigurable computing array(HRCA) and reconfigurable interconnect(RIC) are intensively researched as the key technologies.

摘要Finite element(FE) is a powerful tool and has been applied by investigators to real-time hybrid simulations(RTHSs). This study focuses on the computational efficiency, including the computational time and accuracy, of numerical integrations in solving FE numerical substructure in RTHSs. First, sparse matrix storage schemes are adopted to decrease the computational time of FE numerical substructure. In this way, the task execution time(TET) decreases such that the scale of the numerical substructure model increases. Subsequently, several commonly used explicit numerical integration algorithms, including the central difference method(CDM), the Newmark explicit method, the Chang method and the Gui-λ method, are comprehensively compared to evaluate their computational time in solving FE numerical substructure.

Finally, the effect of time delay on the computational accuracy of RTHSs is investigated by simulating structure-foundation systems. Simulation results show that the influences of time delay on the displacement response become obvious with the mass ratio increasing, and delay compensation methods may reduce the relative error of the displacement peak value to less than 5% even under the large time-step and large time delay.

摘要Attribute-based encryption(ABE) supports the fine-grained sharing of encrypted data.In some common designs,attributes are managed by an attribute authority that is supposed to be fully trustworthy.This concept implies that the attribute authority can access all encrypted data,which is known as the key escrow problem.In addition,because all access privileges are defined over a single attribute universe and attributes are shared among multiple data users,the revocation of users is inefficient for the existing ABE scheme.In this paper,we propose a novel scheme that solves the key escrow problem and supports efficient user revocation.First,an access controller is introduced into the existing scheme,and then,secret keys are generated corporately by the attribute authority and access controller.Second,an efficient user revocation mechanism is achieved using a version key that supports forward and backward security.The analysis proves that our scheme is secure and efficient in user authorization and revocation.

摘要As a connection between the process and the circuit design, the device model is greatly desired for emerging devices, such as the double-gate MOSFET. Time efficiency is one of the most important requirements for device modeling. In this paper, an improvement to the computational efficiency of the drain current model for double-gate MOSFETs is extended, and different calculation methods are compared and discussed. The results show that the calculation speed of the improved model is substantially enhanced. A two-dimensional device simulation is performed to verify the improved model. Furthermore, the model is implemented into the HSPICE circuit simulator in Verilog-A for practical application.

摘要Mobile cloud computing(MCC) combines mobile Internet and cloud computing to improve the performance of mobile applications. However, MCC faces the problem of energy efficiency because of randomly varying channels. A scheduling algorithm is proposed by introducing the Lyapunov optimization, which can dynamically choose users to transmit data based on queue backlog and channel statistics. The Lyapunov analysis shows that the proposed scheduling algorithm can make a tradeoff between queue backlog and energy consumption in the channel-aware mobile cloud computing system. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
摘要A finite difference method for computing the axisymmetric, transonic flows over a nacelle is presented in this paper. By use of the conservative full-potential equation, body-fitted grid, and the exact boundary conditions, a new AF scheme is constructed according to the criterion of optimum convergence. The proposed scheme has been applied to transonic nacelle flow problems. Computation for several nacelles shows the rapid convergence of this scheme and excellent agreement with the experimental results.

摘要Contact detection is the most time-consuming stage in 3D discontinuous deformation analysis(3D-DDA)computation.Improving the efficiency of 3D-DDA is beneficial for its application in large-scale computing.In this study,aiming at the continuous-discontinuous simulation of 3D-DDA,a highly efficient contact detection strategy is proposed.Firstly,the global direct search(GDS)method is integrated into the 3D-DDA framework to address intricate contact scenarios.Subsequently,all geometric elements,including blocks,faces,edges,and vertices are divided into searchable and unsearchable parts.Contacts between unsearchable geometric elements would be directly inherited,while only searchable geometric elements are involved in contact detection.This strategy significantly reduces the number of geometric elements involved in contact detection,thereby markedly enhancing the computation efficiency.Several examples are adopted to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the improved 3D-DDA method.The rock pillars with different mesh sizes are simulated under self-weight.The deformation and stress are consistent with the analytical results,and the smaller the mesh size,the higher the accuracy.The maximum speedup ratio is 38.46 for this case.Furthermore,the Brazilian splitting test on the discs with different flaws is conducted.The results show that the failure pattern of the samples is consistent with the results obtained by other methods and experiments,and the maximum speedup ratio is 266.73.Finally,a large-scale impact test is performed,and approximately 3.2 times enhanced efficiency is obtained.The proposed contact detection strategy significantly improves efficiency when the rock has not completely failed,which is more suitable for continuous-discontinuous simulation.

摘要The local time-stepping(LTS)algorithm is an adaptive method that adjusts the time step by selecting suitable intervals for different regions based on the spatial scale of each cell and water depth and flow velocity between cells.The method can be optimized by calculating the maximum power of two of the global time step increments in the domain,allowing the optimal time step to be approached throughout the grid.To verify the acceleration and accuracy of LTS in storm surge simulations,we developed a model to simulate astronomical storm surges along the southern coast of China.This model employs the shallow water equations as governing equations,numerical discretization using the finite volume method,and fluxes calculated by the Roe solver.By comparing the simulation results of the traditional global time-stepping algorithm with those of the LTS algorithm,we find that the latter fit the measured data better.Taking the calculation results of Typhoon Sally in 1996 as an example,we show that compared with the traditional global time-stepping algorithm,the LTS algorithm reduces computation time by 2.05 h and increases computation efficiency by 2.64 times while maintaining good accuracy.

摘要As data becomes increasingly complex,measuring dependence among variables is of great interest.However,most existing measures of dependence are limited to the Euclidean setting and cannot effectively characterize the complex relationships.In this paper,we propose a novel method for constructing independence tests for random elements in Hilbert spaces,which includes functional data as a special case.Our approach is using distance covariance of random projections to build a test statistic that is computationally efficient and exhibits strong power performance.We prove the equivalence between testing for independence expressed on the original and the projected covariates,bridging the gap between measures of testing independence in Euclidean spaces and Hilbert spaces.Implementation of the test involves calibration by permutation and combining several p-values from different projections using the false discovery rate method.Simulation studies and real data examples illustrate the finite sample properties of the proposed method under a variety of scenarios.
摘要Applications can only reach 8 %~15 % of utilization on modern computer systems. There are many obstacles to improving system efficiency. The key root is the conflict between the fixed general computer architecture and the variable requirements of applications. Proactive reconfigurable computing architecture(PRCA) is proposed to improve computing efficiency. PRCA dynamically constructs an efficient computing architecture for a specific application via reconfigurable technology by perceiving requirements,workload and utilization of computing resources. Proactive decision support system(PDSS),hybrid reconfigurable computing array(HRCA) and reconfigurable interconnect(RIC) are intensively researched as the key technologies. The principles of PRCA have been verified with four applications on a test bed. It is shown that PRCA is feasible and highly efficient.

摘要With the accelerated growth of the Internet of Things(IoT),real-time data processing on edge devices is increasingly important for reducing overhead and enhancing security by keeping sensitive data local.Since these devices often handle personal information under limited resources,cryptographic algorithms must be executed efficiently.Their computational characteristics strongly affect system performance,making it necessary to analyze resource impact and predict usage under diverse configurations.In this paper,we analyze the phase-level resource usage of AES variants,ChaCha20,ECC,and RSA on an edge device and develop a prediction model.We apply these algorithms under varying parallelism levels and execution strategies across key generation,encryption,and decryption phases.Based on the analysis,we train a unified Random Forest model using execution context and temporal features,achieving R2 values up to 0.994 for power and 0.988 for temperature.Furthermore,the model maintains practical predictive performance even for cryptographic algorithms not included during training,demonstrating its ability to generalize across distinct computational characteristics.Our proposed approach reveals how execution characteristics and resource usage interacts,supporting proactive resource planning and efficient deployment of cryptographic workloads on edge devices.As our approach is grounded in phase-level computational characteristics rather than in any single algorithm,it provides generalizable insights that can be extended to a broader range of cryptographic algorithms that exhibit comparable phase-level execution patterns and to heterogeneous edge architectures.

摘要The four-decade quest for synthesizing ambient-stable polymeric nitrogen,a promising high-energy-density material,remains an unsolved challenge in materials science.We develop a multi-stage computational strategy employing density functional tight-binding-based rapid screening combined with density functional theory refinement and global structure searching,effectively bridging computational efficiency with quantum accuracy.This integrated approach identifies four novel polymeric nitrogen phases(Fddd,P3221,I4m2,andP6522)that are thermodynamically stable at ambient pressure.Remarkably,the helical6522 configuration demonstrates exceptional thermal resilience up to 1500 K,representing a predicted polymeric nitrogen structure that maintains stability under both atmospheric pressure and high-temperature extremes.Our methodology establishes a paradigm-shifting framework for the accelerated discovery of metastable energetic materials,resolving critical bottlenecks in theoretical predictions while providing experimentally actionable targets for polymeric nitrogen synthesis.
