SaaS (Software as a Service) application mode came into being along with the expansion and convenient of the network platform, and its core lies in Multi-Tenant (multi-tenant) application. Multi-Tenant Application under the SaaS model makes software applications efficient and convenient, more importantly, tenants can greatly reduce their software development costs, hardware acquisition costs, training costs, and upgrade and maintenance costs by using the application system, which virtually eased business cost pressures and makes more focus on business development. This paper elaborates the personalized needs of tenants for Multi-Tenant Applications mainly from the three aspects: data, function, and interface. With the configuration of data, function and interface, Multi-tenant applications will become better.

Full textAbstract:
Energy optimization is an increasingly important aspect of today’s high-performance computing applications. In particular, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) has become a widely adopted solution to balance performance and energy consumption, and hardware vendors provide management libraries that allow the programmer to change both memory and core frequencies manually to minimize energy consumption while maximizing performance. This article focuses on modeling the energy consumption and speedup of GPU applications while using different frequency configurations. The task is not straightforward, because of the large set of possible and uniformly distributed configurations and because of the multi-objective nature of the problem, which minimizes energy consumption and maximizes performance. This article proposes a machine learning-based method to predict the best core and memory frequency configurations on GPUs for an input OpenCL kernel. The method is based on two models for speedup and normalized energy predictions over the default frequency configuration. Those are later combined into a multi-objective approach that predicts a Pareto-set of frequency configurations. Results show that our approach is very accurate at predicting extema and the Pareto set, and finds frequency configurations that dominate the default configuration in either energy or performance.

According to zero-copy idea and the application of multi-core binding to realize a high-performance packet capture platform based on multi-core binding(MCPCP).By modifying the memory management mode about sk_buff in kernel,realize the user space program to directly access the data packet, which is a kind of universal significance of the zero-copy scheme. And then through the multi-core binding technique, for each CPU core scheduling and control, with multi-threaded user programs can minimize the cache jitter to improve the efficiency of packet capture. Experiments show that in the case of low-end configuration, the throughputs of MCPCP for 64Byte and 1500Byte messages are 620 ,000pps (about 320Mbps) and 78,000pps (about 941Mbps) respectively. In the high-end configuration, can reach 1.46 million pps (748Mbps) and 81,000 pps (979Mbps).MCPCP surpasses the traditional ones' in performance.

Full textAbstract:
This work proposes a methodology to find performance and energy trade-offs for parallel applications running on Heterogeneous Multi-Processing systems with a single instruction-set architecture. These offer flexibility in the form of different core types and voltage and frequency pairings, defining a vast design space to explore. Therefore, for a given application, choosing a configuration that optimizes the performance and energy consumption is not straightforward. Our method proposes novel analytical models for performance and power consumption whose parameters can be fitted using only a few strategically sampled offline measurements. These models are then used to estimate an application’s performance and energy consumption for the whole configuration space. In turn, these offline predictions define the choice of estimated Pareto-optimal configurations of the model, which are used to inform the selection of the configuration that the application should be executed on. The methodology was validated on an ODROID-XU3 board for eight programs from the PARSEC Benchmark, Phoronix Test Suite and Rodinia applications. The generated Pareto-optimal configuration space represented a 99% reduction of the universe of all available configurations. Energy savings of up to 59.77%, 61.38% and 17.7% were observed when compared to the performance, ondemand and powersave Linux governors, respectively, with higher or similar performance.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe hyperfine structure of the ground state of vanadium, 51VI, is calculated in the nonrelativistic framework of the multi-configuration Hartree-Fock approximation. A configuration state function limiting algorithm is used to make the calculations feasible and to study the influence of core, valence and core-valence correlations in detail. The obtained configuration state function space captures the most important orbital correlations within 2%. Further correlations are included through configuration interaction calculation. The atomic state functions are used to evaluate the magnetic dipole hyperfine factor A and the electric quadrupole factor B. It turns out that the ab initio calculation can not capture the core polarization of the 2s shell. It introduces an error that is higher than the Hartree-Fock approximation. However, the detailed correlations being observed suggest the introduction of a wrong correlation orbital due to the algorithm being used. Neglecting this orbital leads to good agreement with 2% deviation from the experimental values for the A factors.

Full textAbstract:
Multiple multi-threaded tasks constitute a modern many-core application. An accompanying generic Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) represents the execution precedence relationship between the tasks. The application comes with a hard deadline and high peak power consumption. Parallel execution of multiple tasks on multiple cores results in a quicker execution, but higher peak power. Peak power single-handedly determines the involved cooling costs in many-cores, while its violations could induce performance-crippling execution uncertainties. Less task parallelization, on the other hand, results in lower peak power, but a more prolonged deadline violating execution. The problem of peak power minimization in many-cores is to determine task-to-core mapping configuration in the spatio-temporal domain that minimizes the peak power consumption of an application, but ensures application still meets the deadline. All previous works on peak power minimization for many-core applications (with or without DAG) assume only single-threaded tasks. We are the first to propose a framework, called PkMin, which minimizes the peak power of many-core applications with DAG that have multi-threaded tasks. PkMin leverages the inherent convexity in the execution characteristics of multi-threaded tasks to find a configuration that satisfies the deadline, as well as minimizes peak power. Evaluation on hundreds of applications shows PkMin on average results in 49.2% lower peak power than a similar state-of-the-art framework.

Full textAbstract:
The OpenMC code is being employed both as a multi-group nodal macroscopic cross-section generator and a reference multi-group Monte Carlo (MGMC) solution. The aim is to do a neutronic benchmark verification study versus a deterministic model (based on the MYRRHA-1.6 core) performed by the PHISICS simulator. MYRRHA, a novel research accelerator driven system concept that is also foreseen to work as a critical configuration, offers a rich opportunity of testing state-of-the art methods for reactor physics analysis due to its strong heterogeneous configuration utilized for both thermal and fast spectra irradiation purposes. The original core configuration representing MYRRHA-1.6 and formed by 169 assemblies, was launched in OpenMC for producing a homogenous nodal model that, when executed in its multi-group Monte Carlo mode, it produced a keff that differs in almost 500 pcm from the original case. This means that in the future, such approximation should correct the nodal cross-sections to preserve the reaction rates in order to match those ones from the heterogeneous model. Nevertheless, such MGMC mode of operation offered by OpenMC could be exploited in order to verify deterministic core simulators. By inputting the same nodal multi-group cross-section model into the transport solver of the PHISICS toolkit, the neutronic benchmark showed a difference of 171 pcm in eigenvalue while comparing it to its OpenMC MGMC counterpart. Also, local multi-group and energy-integrated nodal profiles of the neutron flux showed a maximum relative difference between methodologies of 15% and 1%, respectively. This means that the MGMC capabilities offered by OpenMC can be employed to verify other deterministic methodologies.

Full textAbstract:
The core breaking mechanism of the traditional Bi-2212 wires with filament configuration of 85×7 during the drawing process was analyzed, and the solution of these problems was given. The results showed that the major reason of core breaking occurs was that the tensile stress was bigger on the center than the edge of Bi-2212 wires during the drawing, and the silver-superconductor ratio was smaller of the center than the edge of the traditional Bi-2212 wires. It was effective to avoid the core breaking of Bi-2212 wires using the Ag core strengthener, and the uniformity of distortion of Bi-2212 wires during the drawing was improved, and the critical current of Bi-2212 wires increased 40% than that of traditional wires. If the diameter of the filament of Bi-2212 wires decreased further, there would be lots of bridging between core and core, which provided routeway for current. So the critical current of Bi-2212 wires was improved further.

Full textAbstract:
In Software Product Line (SPL), Configuration Management (CM) is a multi-dimensional problem. On the one hand, the Core Assets that constitute a configuration need to be managed, and on the other hand, each product in the product line that is built using a configuration must be managed, and furthermore, the management of all these configurations must be coordinated under a single process. Therefore, CM for product lines is more complex than for single systems. The CM of any software system involves four closely related activities: Change Management (ChM), Version Management (VM), System Building (SB) and Release Management (RM) [I. Sommerville, Software Engineering, 9th edn. (Addison-Wesley, 2010)]. The aim of this paper is to provide ChM and VM models for evolutionary-based SPL system development and maintenance. The proposed models support any level of aggregation in SPLs and have been applied to Mobile SPL as a case study.

Network security applications such as intrusion detection systems (IDSs), firewalls, anti-virus/spyware systems, anti-spam systems, and security visualisation applications are all computing-intensive applications. These applications all heavily rely on deep packet inspection, which is to examine the content of each network packet’s payload. Today these security applications cannot cope with the speed of broadband Internet that has already been deployed, that is, the processor power is much slower than the bandwidth power. Recently the development of multi-core processors brings more processing power. Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in computing hardware technology. While two years ago most network processors and personal computer microprocessors had single core configuration, the majority of the current microprocessors contain dual or quad cores and the number of cores on die is expected to grow exponentially over time. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the research on using multi-core technologies to parallelize deep packet inspection algorithms, and how such an approach will improve the performance of deep packet inspection applications. This will eventually provide a security system the capability of real-time packet inspection thus significantly improve the overall status of security on current Internet infrastructure.

Then they use KCMAX and KCML to explore the configuration space for accelerating BFSs on large complex networks in the context of TOTEM, a BSP heterogeneous GPU + CPU HPC platform. They study the feasibility of the heterogeneous computing approach by systematically studying different graph partitioning strategies, including the KCMAX and KCML algorithms, while processing synthetic and real-world complex networks.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be deployed using available hardware and software. The Contiki is an operative system compatible with a wide range of WSN hardware. A Contiki development environment named InstantContiki is also available and includes the Cooja simulator, useful to test WSN simulation scenarios prior to their deployment. Cooja can provide realistic results since it uses the full Contiki's source code and some motes can be emulated at the hardware level. However this implies extending the simulation runtime, which is heightened since the Cooja is single threaded, i.e, it makes use of a single core per instant of time, not taking advantage of the current multi-core processors. This chapter presents a framework to automate the configuration and execution of Cooja simulations. When a multi-core processor is available, this framework runs multiple simultaneous Cooja instances to reduce simulations runtime in exchange of higher CPU load and RAM usage.

The growing number of cores increases the demand for a powerful memory subsystem which leads to enhancement in the size of caches in multicore processors. Caches are responsible for giving processing elements a faster, higher bandwidth local memory to work with. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to analyze the impact of cache size on performance of Multi-core processors by varying L1 and L2 cache size on the multicore processor with internal network (MPIN) referenced from NIAGRA architecture. As the number of core's increases, traditional on-chip interconnects like bus and crossbar proves to be low in efficiency as well as suffer from poor scalability. In order to overcome the scalability and efficiency issues in these conventional interconnect, ring based design has been proposed. The effect of interconnect on the performance of multicore processors has been analyzed and a novel scalable on-chip interconnection mechanism (INOC) for multicore processors has been proposed. The benchmark results are presented by using a full system simulator. Results show that, using the proposed INoC, compared with the MPIN; the execution time are significantly reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Billions of transistors on a chip have led to integration of many cores leading to many challenges such as increased power dissipation, thermal dissipation, occurrence of faults in the circuits, and reliability issues. Existing approaches explore the usage of redundancy-based solutions for fault tolerance at core level, thread level, micro-architectural level, and software level. Core-level techniques improve the lifetime reliability of multi-core systems with asymmetric cores (large and small cores), which have gained momentum and focus among a large number of researchers. Based on the above implications, multi-core system using one instruction cores (MCS-OIC) factoring its features are proposed in this chapter. The MCS-OIC is an asymmetric multi-core architecture with MIPS core as the conventional core and OICs as the warm standby-redundant core. OIC executes only one instruction named ‘subleq _ subtract if less than or equal to zero’. When there is one of the functional units (i.e., ALU) of any conventional core fails, the opcode of the instruction is sent to the OIC. The OIC decodes the instruction opcode and emulates the faulty instruction by repeated execution of the ‘subleq’ instruction, thus providing fault tolerance. To evaluate the idea, the OIC is synthesized using ASIC and FPGA. Performance implications due to OICs at instruction and application level are evaluated. Yield analysis is estimated for various configurations of multi-core system using OICs.

Full textAbstract:
Geospatial data can be enormous in size and tedious to process efficiently on standard computational workstations. Distributing the processing tasks through highly parallelized processing reduces the burden on the primary processor and processing times can drastically shorten as a result. ERSI's ArcGIS, while widely used in the military, does not natively support multi-core processing or utilization of graphic processor units (GPUs). However, the ArcPy Python library included in ArcGIS 10 provides geospatial developers with the means to process geospatial data in a flexible environment that can be linked with GPU application programming interfaces (APIs). This research extends a custom desktop geospatial model of spatial similarity for remote soil classification which takes advantage of both standard ArcPy/ArcGIS geoprocessing functions and custom GPU kernels, operating on an NVIDIA Tesla S2050 equipped with potential access to 1792 cores. The author will present their results which describe hardware and software configurations, processing efficiency gains, and lessons learned.

Full textAbstract:
The current Modular Helium Reactor (MHR) fuel cycle uses fissile LEU (19.8 wt% U-235) and depleted uranium in separate TRISO particles, in a single fuel rod within a graphite matrix. The TRISO particle volume packing fraction (PF) in the fuel rods is 29%, of which the LEU particle PF is 62%. The lifetime between refuelings is about 476 effective full power days (EFPD). In this paper we assess the possibility of replacing the depleted uranium TRISO particles with thorium TRISO particles, and evaluate the impact of such replacement on fuel cycle length. A preliminary scoping study was performed to determine the most promising fuel rod/zoning configurations. The scoping study indicates that there is advantage to separating the thorium TRISO particles from the LEU particles at the fuel rod level instead of mixing them within a single rod. An axial checkerboard distribution of the fuel rods where all uranium and all thorium rods are interchangeable along the axial direction within the graphite block is the most promising configuration that was identified in this study and can be lead to a fuel cycle length extension of 50% to 80% relative to the current design, with only a modest increase in the fissile material loading (15%–20%). To this advantage can be added the benefit of a significant reduction in nuclear waste and in health risk. This study also lays the foundation for improving the fuel rod arrangement within the graphite block and the graphite blocks within the entire reactor core. The analysis is limited to a once-through fuel cycle based on in-situ fissioning of the U-233, without further separation and reprocessing.

Full textAbstract:
Reduction of CO2 emissions is strongly linked with the improvement of engine specific fuel consumption, as well as the reduction of engine nacelle drag and weight. One alternative design approach to improving specific fuel consumption is to consider a geared fan combined with an increased overall pressure ratio intercooled core performance cycle. Thermal benefits from intercooling have been well documented in the literature. Nevertheless, there is very little information available in the public domain with respect to design space exploration of such an engine concept when combined with a geared fan. The present work uses a multidisciplinary conceptual design tool to analyse the option of an intercooled core geared fan aero engine for long haul applications with a 2020 entry into service technology level assumption. With minimum mission fuel in mind, the results indicate as optimal values a pressure ratio split exponent of 0.38 and an intercooler mass flow ratio just below 1.2 at hot-day top of climb conditions. At ISA mid-cruise conditions a specific thrust of 86m/s, a jet velocity ratio of 0.83, an intercooler effectiveness of 55% and an overall pressure ratio value of 76 are likely to be a good choice. A 70,000lbf intercooled turbofan engine is large enough to make efficient use of an all-axial compression system, particularly within a geared fan configuration, but intercooling is perhaps more likely to be applied to even larger engines. The proposed optimal jet velocity ratio is actually higher than the value one would expect by using standard analytical expressions primarily because this design variable affects core efficiency at mid-cruise due to a combination of several different subtle changes to the core cycle and core component efficiencies at this condition. Analytical expressions do not consider changes in core efficiency and the beneficial effect of intercooling on transfer efficiency, nor account for losses in the bypass duct and jet pipe, whilst a relatively detailed engine performance model such as the one utilised in this study does. Mission fuel results from a surrogate model are in good agreement with the results obtained from a rubberised-wing aircraft model for some of the design parameters. This indicates that it is possible to replace an aircraft model with specific fuel consumption and weight penalty exchange rates. Nevertheless, drag count exchange rates have to be utilised to properly assess changes in mission fuel for those design parameters that affect nacelle diameter.

Abstract Three dimensional PWR-core analysis code CORAL developed by Wuhan Second Ship Design and Research Institute, which provides all functions required by PWR-core analysis calculation. These functions are neutron diffusion within the core and reflector, macroscopic depletion or microscopic depletion calculation analysis, multi-channel or sub-channel thermal-hydraulic analysis, one-dimensional heat transfer from nuclear fuel to the coolant, critical search by boron concentration or control rod position, integral and differential worth of neutron absorbers, neutron kinetics parameters for transient analysis, in-core neutron detector response simulation etc. CORAL is convenient to update and maintain in consider of modular, object-oriented programming technology. In order to verify the computational capabilities of the reactor core analysis software and methods, the US CASL project proposed the VERA reactor physics benchmark problem. This benchmark problem is based on the initial loading of Watts Bar Nuclear unit 1 as a model ranging from a simple 2D pin problem cell to the full cycle depletion and refueling of problem a 3D reactor core configuration. Aiming at the VERA benchmark problems, physics calculations are performed using the CORAL code, and the results of effective multiplication factor, assembly power distribution, control rod worth value and reactivity coefficient are obtained. By comparing with the KENO results provided in the benchmark problems, the calculation results of CORAL code are in good agreement. This shows that the CORAL code has the ability to calculate from 2D lattice to the 3D reactor core, and its computational accuracy is basically equivalent to the KENO code.

Despite many advances in both optimization methods and computational fluid dynamics, the timely automatic selection and refinement, via physics-based and empirical methods, of “optimal” configurations of compression systems remains challenging. This is due, in part, to the large number of design parameters (with associated high computational cost) operating over wide ranges that can be non-smooth, if not discontinuous (to which many optimization algorithms, developed for smooth problems, are ill-suited). It is further complicated by the phasic nature of turbomachinery design and the associated need to balance the amount of time and computational resource devoted to selecting the most promising configurations with that expended in their refinement. This paper compares a number of combinations of a multi-fidelity approach for configuration selection with a high-fidelity method for design refinement. The system is tested on the aerodynamic design of a complete two-spool core compression system for a generic high bypass ratio turbofan. The resulting designs are obliged to meet familiar constraints for overall design point pressure rise and surge margin together with a number of mechanical constraints including maximum shaft speeds. Through the configuration phase, the number of stages and the duty split between the spools are permitted to change. It is shown that the performance of the design refinement phase is only a weak function of the preceding configuration phase provided that the latter is well into diminishing returns with respect to approaching a converged solution. It is hence shown possible to obtain equally good designs in around half the computational run-time by exploiting this weak dependence by effectively decoupling the configuration and refinement phases and starting the latter before the former has apparently finished. It is also shown that if either configuration or refinement is allowed to dominate the design process, inferior designs result. The best designs are associated with between half and three-quarters of the design effort being devoted to configuration selection.
