Gene fusions are widely observed in the RNA-seq data, many of which are formed by cancer susceptibility genes. The fusion gene is formed by chromosomal mutations and is an important factor in causing cancer. Studies have shown that only a small number of identified fusion genes play a role in the carcinogenesis process. Identifying those genes is important for the study and treatment of cancer. There...
Large scale graph processing represents an interesting challenge due to the characteristics of the graph structure. Generally, a distributed graph processing framework is a better choice for large graphs with billions of edges. However, traditional iterative computation models like BSP under-perform due to large communication overheads and slow iterative convergence in a distributed environment. Here,...
The design of blind rendezvous strategies for dynamic spectrum access in multi-users, multi-hop networks is a challenging task. In this paper, a two radios synchronization strategy that minimizes the time to rendezvous in multi-users networks is analyze. In fact, it has been recently demonstrated that this synchronization strategy provides optimum results in terms of maximum time to rendezvous (MTTR)...
In beyond silicon research, Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) emerged as a candidate for replacing the traditional CMOS logic circuits. QCA is a paradigm based on the exchange of information between cells that takes advantage of Coulomb's law. In this work, we managed to extract dependence relations through a circuit designed on QCA Designer simulator. We built small models representing fragments...
This paper represents the heuristic algorithms for optimizing communications in parallel PGAS-programs and minimizes of its execution time. This is achieved by taking into account of hierarchical structure of computer systems while reduction. Developed algorithms are implemented for PGAS-language Cray Chapel.
Smart grids rely on the integration of distributed energy resources towards an intelligent and distributed manner to organize the electrical power grid enabled by a bidirectional flow of information to improve reliability and robustness, fault detection and system operation, and plug-and-playability of energy devices. The integration of information and communication technologies (ICT), one of the...
The rapidly growing design complexity has become a big obstacle and dramatically increased the time required for SystemC simulation. In this case study, we exploit different levels of parallelism, including thread- and data-level parallelism, to accelerate the simulation of a Bitcoin miner model in SystemC. Our experiments are performed on two multi-core processors and one many-core Intel(g) Xeon...
Large scale distributed simulation should be well planned before the execution, since applying unnecessary hardware only wastes our time and money. On the other side, we need enough hardware to achieve an acceptable performance. Thus, it is considerable to estimate the performance of a large scale distributed simulation before the execution. Such an estimation also improves the efficiency of the applied...
Taking advantage of computing capabilities offered by modern parallel and distributed architectures is fundamental to run large-scale simulation models based on the Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) paradigm. By relying on this computing organization, it is possible to effectively overcome both the power and the memory wall, which are core limiting aspects to deliver high-performance simulations...
The perfect relationship between deployment costs and systems availability is one of the primary goals of companies that wish to provide some computer environment or service through the Internet. The question that everyone wants to know the answer is: How much may I save and still improve the availability of my system avoiding financial losses with an SLA contract breach? This paper attempts to respond...
The paper presents modeling and simulation programme of the synchronize conditions for synchronous generator in the thermal power plants. The programme is utilized for educational purposes in the laboratory “Electrical Section of Power Plants” for the conditions study and the practical skill moulding to the thermal power units interconnected. Are studied the synchronize conditions and the admissible...
The efficient development of all-digital RF-transmitters (DRFTx) requires models that can capture the memory induced, nonlinear behavior of the circuitry. Broadband time-domain models work well for this application, although, gaining dependable model prediction errors from verification measurements is difficult. For the presented DRFTx, the model predicts output signals over the full bandwidth (DC-20...
Stabilization is a key dependability property for dealing with unanticipated transient faults, as it guarantees that even in the presence of such faults, the system will recover to states where it satisfies its specification. One of the desirable attributes of stabilization is the use of bounded space for each variable.In this paper, we present an algorithm that transforms a stabilizingprogram that...
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are increasingly applied to accelerate tasks such as graph problems and discreteevent simulation that are characterized by irregularity, i.e., a strong dependence of the control flow and memory accesses on the input. The core data structure in many of these irregular tasks are priority queues that guide the progress of the computations and which can easily become the...
Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) has been deeply studied in the context of Cognitive Radio (CR) where it represents a required step between signal detection and demodulation. Several blind methods were proposed in the case of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. In this context, Analytical Mth-Power nonlinear Transformation (AMPT) was especially studied to tackle the blind AMC of...
This paper proposed a novel fractional-order Vicsek model (FOVM), which can effectively improve the convergence performance of the original Vicsek model. Numeral experiment results show that there is the optimal value of the fractional order of the FOVM with which the self-propelled particles can achieve the best convergence performance.
This paper deals with the problem of properly simulating the Internet of Things (loT). Simulating an loT allows evaluating strategies that can be employed to deploy smart services over different kinds of territories. However, the heterogeneity of scenarios seriously complicates this task. This imposes the use of sophisticated modeling and simulation techniques. We discuss novel approaches for the...
Vehicle Management System (VMS) is onboard real-time network, which ensures the flight safety and economy by scheduling and managing the onboard resources. With the help of computers, local area network (LAN), simulation software and real-time operation system, we build a distributed computer simulation platform to simulate this onboard network. In this paper, we present a Simulink/RTX/Reflective...
The bidirectional model transformation (BX) comprises a forward transformation get and a backward transformation put. Given that get may be an information-loss transformation, the behavior of put may be uncertain. An uncertain put produces many valid outputs that fit different application scenarios. This paper proposes an approach to variability management in BX to enable put to generate an output...
An innovated evolving network representation model to characterize weighted, complex, scale-free networks is proposed. A new node or a community is added to network in the process of evolution while emergences of new links occur according to the ‘Triad Formation’ possessing symmetry and the random selection mechanism. A weighted scale-free network with high-value clustering coefficient can be obtained...
