We present an approach to stochastic performance guarantees for multimedia sewers with mixed workloads. Advanced multimedia applications such as digital libraries or teleteaching exhibit a mixed workload with accesses to both 'continuous' and conventional, 'discrete' data, where the fractions of continuous-data and discrete-data requests vary over time. We assume that a server shares all disks among continuous and discrete data, and we develop a stochastic performance model for the resulting mixed workload, using a combination of analytic and simulation-based modeling. Based on this model we devise a round-based scheduling scheme with stochastic performance guarantees: for continous-data requests, we bound the probability that 'glitches' occur and for discrete-data requests, we bound the probability that the response time exceeds a certain tolerance threshold. We present early results of simulation studies.

We took the design of an existing circuit simulator, SPICE, considered various parallelization techniques, and selected a relaxation-based algorithm, Iterated Timing Analysis, for further study. In this report, the implementation of this algorithm on the CM-5 is described. simulation is performed by a collection of subcircuits communicating with one another by sending asynchronous event messages. Initial studies on two platforms, Split-C, a parallel extension of C, and the CMMD message passing library, indicate that this approach, with appropriate partitioning and scheduling taking granularity into account, has a great deal of potential for reducing the cost of circuit simulation. We also tried to exploit parallelism by scheduling the events optimistically. Trace driven analysis shows that the optimistic simulation method exploits more parallelism then the conservative methods for circuits with feedback signal paths.
At the Laboratory of Information Technologies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research new software for job parallel calculation on the cloud resources and computing cluster is in progress. It is expected that crea...

While simulating a P2P system withdistributed simulator, it generally requires that one single large network topology should be pre-divided into some small sub-nets, each of which denotes a group of peers in the P2P system. Because of interconnectivity of the simulated network, the sub-nets running on different simulation node must exchange message with each other to complete the simulation task. Based on the knowledge of degree sequence and breadth-first search, this paper proposes a novel approximate algorithm of k-graph partition. By this optimized algorithm, a large P2P network topology can be divided into k sub-nets while not only the traffic among different sub-net is minimized, but also the tasks of simulation are balanced. through the analysis of time complexity, load balance and edge-cut experimental results for different network topology, it shows our algorithm is a feasible method applied for distributed P2P simulation systems.

Multimedia authoring does not consist solely of the specification of the temporal and spatial layout of a document. Application specific concepts (e.g. for computer based training) or animation effects (e.g. moving media items) are often required by authors, Existing multimedia authoring tools support only one specific concept for the temporal specification, spatial specification and interaction. this paper presents research results for an extensible multimedia system called MAVA (MultimediA document Versatile Architecture). It allows to integrate new and alternative concepts for multimedia documents. MAVA uses an operator based approach as meta document model, what means that all extensions will define concrete operators that will be used by authors.

Modern materials science is based in principle on the fundamental experience that the properties of materials are not peremptorily determined by their average chemical composition but they are to a large extent influenced by the distances between atoms and characteristics of their bonds, implicitly by their microstructure. Now, it is obvious that the outstanding success of magnetic materials for the last two decades may be ascribed to three relevant accomplishments: -overall improvements in general expertise and techniques in sample synthesis;- A dramatic refinement and development of new methods and probes for magnetic materials characterization;-the increasing importance of nano-level studies that led to the ingenious ways of producing nanoparticle samples, new techniques for element specific studies, goin down to atomic resolution studies and even to single atoms at surfaces and interfaces. In the last projects completed in recent years we have analyzed and studied magnetic materials mostly micro and nano scale ferro-, ferrimagnetic and ferroic perovskites, enumerating here (nano)cobaltites, (nano)manganites and other nanomagnetic materials. Almost all of them, listed up require massive data processing. At that time, it became obvious to us that it needs another embodiment, namely in the processing data activity. In 2010 we introduce parallel computing applications on the simulation of the structure, magnetic and transport properties to explain the structure-properties relationships for some new nanomagnetic materials. Knowing quite substantial intersection of the parallel computing and distributed, we think it is of common sense to introduce our applicative work in magnetism and magnetic materials science modeling properties, in the context of distributed computing applications. Our latest research specializes in improving techniques for high-level simulation in the design of nano-materials with controlled magnetic properties. We used a package built on Linux, c

Several processor allocation schemes are proposed in the literature for mesh connected parallel computers. All these schemes aim at improving the system performance by reducing internal fragmentation or by enhancing the submesh recognition ability. In this paper, we propose an approach of system partitioning to reduce external fragmentation and thereby improve the system performance. the target systems considered here are two-dimensional meshes where the side lengths are powers of two. Processors are allocated to a partitioned mesh based on their submesh size requirements. the proposed scheme can be implemented in conjunction with any of the existing schemes and thereby can also exploit the advantages offered by those schemes. the performance measurements are done through simulation experiments. Completion time for a fixed number of jobs, internal and external fragmentation, and system utilization are obtained. It is observed that, in most cases, the proposed scheme demonstrates better performance. Time complexity of the proposed scheme is less by a factor of n compared to the corresponding allocation scheme without partitioning, where n = log2 〈min (width or height of the mesh)〉.
