LDPC block codes (LDPC-BCs) have attracted great interests in recent years by highly parallel computation and good bit-error-rate performance, and one of the decoder implementation issues is high routing complexity. LDPC convolutional codes (LDPC-CCs) not only release routing complexity but also are natural to dynamic length of data frame. Thus, the codes are very suitable for video stream and pre-5G...
Big data applications that rely on relational databases gradually expose limitations on scalability and performance. In recent years, Hadoop ecosystem has been widely adopted as an evolving solution. This paper presents the migration of a legacy data analytics application in a provincial data center. The target platform follows "no one size fits all" method. Considering different workloads,...
In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture of an adaptive multi-resolution motion estimation algorithm (AMMEA) for high definition video encoder to reduce hardware cost. The texture-based search strategies are based on temporal stationarity and spatial homogeneity with Sobel edge operator. The proposed algorithm makes motion estimation more concise. We also propose Sobel edge operator hardware...
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation plays an important part in dose calculation for radiotherapy treatment planning. Since the accuracy of MC simulation relies on the number of simulated particles histories, it's very time-consuming. The Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture, which consists of more than 50 cores and supports many parallel programming models, provides an efficient alternative for accelerating...
Single-node computation speed is essential in large-scale parallel solutions of particle transport problems. The Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture supports more than 200 hardware threads as well as 512-bit double precision float-point vector operations. In this paper, we use the native model of MIC in the parallelization of the simulation of one energy group time-independent deterministic...
The Embarrassingly Parallel (EP) algorithm which is typical of many Monte Carlo applications provides an estimate of the upper achievable limits for double precision performance of parallel supercomputers. Recently, Intel released Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture as a many-core co-processor. MIC often offers more than 50 cores each of which can run four hardware threads as well as 512-bit vector...
Today's mobile phones come with a rich set of built-in sensors such as accelerometers, ambient light sensors, compasses, and pressure sensors, which can measure various phenomena on and around the phone. Gathering user context such as user activity, geographic location, and location type requires continuous sampling of sensor data. However, such sampling shortens a phone's battery life because of...
The lack of suitable way to get high-performance router testbed negatively affects the researches of new generation network in the campus laboratory. In this paper, we propose a novel and practical method to achieve high-performance router testbed based on Openflow and Click. This method only needs personal computers and hubs. Then we can get a load-balancing high-performance router testbed, and the...
The development of web has brought rich applications and services, giving users convenience, but also causing that the user's information is locked and isolated, the users' resource are disperse, and the operation granularity is not uniform, which ultimately harm the end-users. This paper presents PGOS,Personal Grid Operation System, a general-purpose software for controlled sharing of cross-domain...
Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is becoming a hot topic after the "Sensor China" concept proposed in 2009. Sensor nodes are deployed in a hostile or unattended environment to collect the data information. Therefore, network security has become a big problem. A new key management scheme of security network architecture for wireless sensor network is presented in this paper. The proposed...
In this paper, we describe our experiment developing an implementation of the Linpack benchmark for TianHe-1, a petascale CPU/GPU supercomputer system, the largest GPU-accelerated system ever attempted before. An adaptive optimization framework is presented to balance the workload distribution across the GPUs and CPUs with the negligible runtime overhead, resulting in the better performance than the...
In the software industry, an unsuccessful software development project bears the characteristics that it would have fewer features, be late, and be over budget. We participated in a project that suffered all the three characteristics. Looking back, we realized that we have made many wrong decisions. This paper, serving as a case study, discusses these mistakes, especially the major ones that contributed...
