In order to enhance the efficiency and reliability of dc-module-type photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, the single-phase transformerless full-bridge grid-tied inverters with a common dc bus and ac bus are utilized as the dc-ac stage. the high-frequency circulating current issue of parallel-operated single-phase grid-tied inverters with different topologies and modulation strategies are investigated. the conditions of high-frequency circulating currents elimination without additional hardware costs are revealed and presented. the analysis indicates that there are no high-frequency circulating currents between parallel-operated inverters with bipolar pulsewidth modulation (PWM). the parallel-operated inverters with unipolar double frequency PWM have high-frequency circulating currents, but the effects of the high-frequency circuiting currents on the fundamental components of split-filter inductor currents can be mitigated. the parallel-operated inverters with a unipolar PWM also have high-frequency circulating currents, but their effects on the fundamental components of split-filter inductor currents cannot be reduced. the single-phase transformerless full-bridge inverters with low-leakage currents, such as H5 and highly efficient and reliable inverter concept, meet the elimination conditions of the high-frequency circulating currents. Hence, these inverters are free of high-frequency circulating currents. A prototype of dc module-type grid-tied PV generation system is built up, and experimental tests with different topologies and PWM methods verify the analysis.

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the large amount of high-dimensional sensed data play a key role in many emerging WSN applications. Existing approaches to similarity search rely on the assumption that sensed data are centralized to deal with, or sensed data are simple enough to be stored in a relational database. In this article, we propose a distributed approximate similarity search (DASS) algorithm to retrieve similar sensed data for range queries by comparing the similarity score of each sensed data with a specified threshold, while taking into account search performance and energy efficiency. the results show that the proposed method provides significant performance gains in terms of precision and energy efficiency compared to existing algorithms.

We propose a new method derived from DACCER (distributed Assessment of the Closeness CEntrality Ranking): the modified DACCER (MDACCER), for assessing traditional closeness centrality ranking. MDACCER presents a relaxation that allows it to take advantage of massively parallel environments like General Purpose Graphics processing Units (GPGPUs). Traditional DACCER proposal assesses Closeness centrality ranking in a limited neighborhood using only information around each node at low computational cost and capability to be executed in a distributed environment. Despite all the advantages, DACCER presents some difficulties in GPGPUs programming model that increases its computational cost at this particular environment. In contrast to the poor performance of DACCER on GPGPUs, experimental results demonstrate MDACCER is as simple and efficient as DACCER to assess Closeness centrality ranking in complex networks and moreover it does not have the same bottlenecks in GPGPUs computing about memory usage and time complexity. We performed MDACCER for some synthetically generated networks, specifically Barabasi-Albert ones and results indicate MADCCER correlates Closeness centrality ranking almost as well as DACCER does with lower computational costs.

Genetic information is increasing exponentially, doubling every 18 months. Analyzing this information within a reasonable amount of time requires parallel computing resources. While considerable research has addressed DNA analysis using GPUs, so far not much attention has been paid to the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. In this paper we present an algorithm for large-scale DNA analysis that exploits thread-level and the SIMD parallelism of the Intel Xeon Phi. We evaluate our approach for various numbers of cores and thread allocation affinities in the context of real-world DNA sequences of mouse, cat, dog, chicken, human and turkey. the experimental results on Intel Xeon Phi show speed-ups of up to 10x compared to a sequential implementation running on an Intel Xeon processor E5.

We address the problem of providing support for executing single streaming applications implemented as a pipeline of stages that run on heterogeneous chips comprised of several cores and one on-chip GPU. In this paper, we present an API that allows the user to specify the type of parallelism exploited by each pipeline stage running on the CPU multicore, the mapping of the pipeline stages to the devices (GPU or CPU), and the number of active threads. Using as case of study a real streaming application, we evaluate how these parameters affect the performance and energy efficiency of a heterogeneous on-chip processor (Exynos 5 Octa) that has three different computational cores: a GPU, an A15 quad-core and an A7 quad-core. We also explore some memory optimizations and find that while their performance impact depends on the granularity type, they usually reduce energy consumption.

Modern computation workloads contain abundant Data Level parallelism(DLP), which requires specialized data parallel architectures, such as Graphics processing Units(GPUs). Withparallel programming models, such as CUDA and OpenCL, GPUs are easily to be programmed for non-graphics applications, and therefore become a cost-effective approach for data parallel architectures. the large quantity of available parallelism places a heavy stress on the memory system as the limited number of pins confines the number of memory controllers on the chip. this creates a potential bottleneck for performance scalability of the GPUs. To accelerate communication withthe memory system, we propose the Intra-Clustering on-chip network for data parallel architectures, which is built upon a traditional two-dimensional electrical mesh network with memory controllers connected through a nanophotonic ring and compute cores grouped into different clusters. Our evaluations with CUDA benchmarks show that the Intra-Clustering architecture can improve communication delay by an average of 17%(up to 32%) and IPC by an average of 5%(up to 11.5%).

Today's spectrum measurements are mainly performed by governmental agencies which drive around using expensive specialized hardware. the idea of crowdsourcing spectrum monitoring has recently gained attention as an alternative way to capture the usage of wide portions of the wireless spectrum at larger geographical and time scales. To support this vision, we develop a flexible software-defined sensor architecture that enables distributed data collection in real-time over the Internet. Our sensor design builds upon low-cost commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components with a total cost per sensor device below $100. the low-cost nature of our sensor platform makes the sensing approach particularly suitable for large-scale deployments but imposes technical challenges regarding performance and quality. To circumvent the limits of our solution, we have implemented and evaluated different sensing strategies and noise reduction techniques. Our results suggest that our sensor architecture may be useful in application areas such as dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radios, detecting regions with elevated electro-smog, or simply to gain an understanding of the spectrum usage for advanced signal intelligence such as anomaly detection or policy enforcement.
