Services are increasingly being hosted on cloud nodes to enhance their performance and increase their availability. The virtually unlimited availability of cloud resources enables service owners to consume resources without quantitative restrictions, paying only for what they use. To avoid cost overruns, resource consumption must be controlled and capped when necessary. We present a distributed tree-based...
The traditional image restoration algorithm based on the sample block only considers simple structure information and will produce cumulative errors and other issues in the process of repair, which affected the overall effect of image restoration in large part, to address this problem, an improved algorithm based on Criminisi is proposed, which combines the improved priority function and new confidence...
Prepaid charging, an essential option for the accounting of cloud services, provides effective financial control for both service providers and customers. However, it has to be supported by real-time credit checking and cost calculation. These real-time actions consume resources of the providers' network and impose high overhead. To tackle this issue, we present a scalable accounting solution in which...
A typical business model in cloud environments for service providers is the provision of composite services built from resources and services offered by other providers. Customers of these composite services can make an advance payment before consumption. In this scenario, accounting systems will supervise each service comprising given composite services individually. As the number of constituent...
It is necessary to investigate the lunar lander soft-landing by considering the flexible body and legs because the impact of deformation is significant. There is a new method for research on landing impact performance in this paper. Firstly a dynamical model of 1/4 lunar lander with four suspension legs is build and simplified. After getting oscillation equation of the model, founds two simulation...
Flash memory SSDs pose a well-known challenge, that is, the erase-before-write problem. Researchers try to solve this inherent problem from two different angles by either designing sophisticated Flash Translation Layer (FTL) schemes to postpone and minimize erasures or designing flash-aware buffer management algorithms to absorb unnecessary erasures. Our experimental results show that buffer management...
We designed and built a novel all-optical re-timing, re-amplifying, and re-shaping (3R) regeneration system based on terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexers (TOADs) developed in our laboratory. The system is capable of parallel processing multiple wavelengths, a feature which will significantly improve the scalability of current wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. Performance against...
