there are a variety of AV devices and multimedia content in the ubiquitous home and the sharing of content needs to have high quality of transfer by using optimized transport protocol for the each content. this paper presents the design and implementation of our proposed scheme that is based on UPnP AV framework which can support various transport protocol transparently. We validated and evaluated our proposed scheme and experimental results show that it can stream content effectively.
the paper deals withthe problem of parallel external integer sorting in the context of a class of heterogeneous clusters. We explore some techniques inherited from the homogeneous and in-core cases to show how they c...

Proteomics is about the study of the proteins expressed in an organism or a cell. Computational Proteomics regards the computational methods, algorithms, databases, and methodologies used to manage, analyze and interpret the data produced in proteomics experiments. the broad application of proteomics and the increasing resolution offered by technological platforms, especially in Mass Spectrometry-based high-throughput proteomics, make the analysis of proteomics experiments difficult and error prone without efficient algorithms and easy-to-use tools. the paper discusses the requirements of Mass Spectrometry-based Computational Proteomics applications and surveys important services, standards, and technologies useful to build modular, scalable and reusable applications in this field.

In this paper we consider load balancing in a static and discrete setting where a fixed number of indivisible tasks have to be allocated to processors. We assume uniform tasks but the processors may have different speeds. the load of a processor is the number of tasks assigned to it divided by its speed. We consider diffusion load balancing which works in rounds. In every round the processors are allowed to compare their own load withthe load of their neighbors and to balance the load withthe neighbors, using their local information only. the question is how many rounds does it take until the whole processor network is balanced, meaning the load discrepancy (difference between maximum load and m/n) is minimized. Our balancing algorithm is deterministic and extends the algorithm studied in [1] from the case of uniform speeds to non-uniform speeds. We use a potential function argument to show that a better load balance can be obtained when the algorithm is allowed to run longer compared to the algorithm of [1].

Collective communication operations are widely used in MPI applications and play an important role in their performance. However, the network heterogeneity inherent to grid environments represent a great challenge to develop efficient high performance computing applications. In this work we propose a generic framework based on communication models and adaptive techniques for dealing with collective communication patterns on grid platforms. Toward this goal, we address the hierarchical organization of the grid, selecting the most efficient communication algorithms at each network level. Our framework is also adaptive to grid load dynamics since it considers transient network characteristics for dividing the nodes into clusters. Our experiments withthe broadcast operation on a real-grid setup indicate that an adaptive framework allows significant performance improvements on MPI collective communications.

Formal concept analysis has been successfully applied as a data mining framework whereby target patterns come in the form of intent families and implication bases. Since their extraction is a challenging task, especially for large datasets, parallel techniques should be helpful in reducing the computational effort and increasing the scalability of the approach. In this paper we describe a way to parallelize a recent divide-and-conquer method computing boththe intents and the Duquenne-Guiges implication basis of dataset. Wile intents admit a straightforward computation, adding the basis - whose definition is recursive poses harder problems, in particular, for parallel design. A first, and by no means final, solution relies on a partition of the basis that allows the crucial and inherently sequential step of redundancy removal to be nevertheless split into parallel subtasks. A prototype implementation of our method, called PARCIM, shows a nearly linear acceleration w.r.t. its sequential counter-part.

this paper presents a strategy to control the terminal voltage produced by the voltage source inverter (VSI) as well as, the power delivery or absorbed from the grid independently of the local load. the terminal voltage is controlled by means of double cascade PI controllers. the resonant controller is placed in parallel to the classical voltage PI to improve its performance. To enhance the resonant structure dynamic response, an adaptive resonant controller based on the modification of their coefficients is used. Additionally, the paper exhibits the reactive power control at the grid changing the voltage amplitude synthetized by the VSI, and the active power control by means of the management of the angle of displacement between the grid voltage and the VSI terminal voltage. To the power control operates adequately two controllers in decoupled mode of operation (one with faster dynamic response and other with slower time response) are employed. To prove all statements proposed in this paper a set of experimental results are presented.

Underground Pumped Hydro-Energy Storage stations are sustainable options to enhance storage capacity and thus the flexibility of energy systems. Efficient management of such units requires high-performance optimization algorithms able to find solutions in a very restricted timing to comply withthe responsive energy markets. In this context, parallelcomputing offers a valuable solution to ensure appropriate decisions that maximize the profit of the station operator, while guaranteeing the safety of the energy network. this study investigates the use of three existing algorithms in parallel Bayesian Optimization, namely q-EGO, BSP-EGO and TuRBO. the three algorithms have different inherent behaviors in terms of parallel potential and, even though TuRBO scales better, q-EGO remains the best choice regarding the final outcomes for all investigated batch sizes and manages to get up to 5 times more profits than other approaches.
