This paper addresses the questions of high-level system modelling using heterogeneous multi-tool modelling environment on parallel multi-core processing systems for simulation acceleration. The modelling technique has been applied for high-level validation of a high-precision Indoor Positioning System for Motion Analysis (IPS-MA) developed in the Central Institute Electronic systems (ZEA-2) of the Research Center Juelich GmbH. The heterogeneous modelling environment has been built using an implementation-level model designed in Matlab Simulink, a verification model for describing the system environment using Modelica language, and Julia language for automatic generation of binding modelling environment and parallelizing the simulation of the overall model. The approach showed a good flexibility in system description and verification in the multi-instrument modelling environment and a good performance gain due to simulation parallelism.
distributed machine learning (ML) has played a key role in today's proliferation of AI services. A typical model of distributed ML is to partition training datasets over multiple worker nodes to update model param...

Global air transport carries about 7.3 billion pieces of luggage each year and up to 56 percent of travelers prefer obtaining real-time baggage tracking information throughout their trip. However, the traditional baggage tracking scheme is generally based on optical scanning and centralized storage systems, which suffers from low efficiency and information leakage. In this paper, a blockchain and edge computing based IOT system for tracking of airport baggage (BEI-TAB) is proposed. Through the combination of radio frequency identification technology (RFID) and blockchain, real-time baggage processing information is automatically stored in blockchain. In addition, we deploy Interplanetary File System (IPFS) at edge nodes with ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to store basic baggage information. Only hash values returned by the IPFS network are kept in blockchain, enhancing the scalability of the system. Furthermore, a multi-channel scheme is designed to realize the physical isolation of data, and to rapidly process multiple types of data and business requirements in parallel. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first architecture that integrates RFID, IPFS, CP-ABE with blockchain technologies to facilitate secure, decentralized, and real-time characteristics for storing and sharing data for baggage tracking. We have deployed a testbed with both software and hardware to evaluate the proposed system, considering the performances of transaction processing time and speed.

Price responsive demand is critical for resiliency. Texas 2021 winter storm resulted in a gap of 30GW between demand and supply and rolling outages for four days. If 80% of customers had been price responsive with a -0.1 elasticity, no outages would have been necessary (54% with a more realistic -0.2 elasticity). Widespread adoption of flexible contracts requires institutional and technical innovation. Contracts exposing the consumer to the real-time electricity price should have hedging. Hedging protects consumers from bill volatility while preserving incentives to use electricity based on social value (cut consumption when electricity is scarce and other people need to heat their houses). Technology will reduce cognitive costs and strengthen the price response. distributed generation and storage and investment in energy efficiency are crucial too. Electric vehicles might increase electricity demand by 50% by 2050 in the US, but their batteries could power the US economy for over two days. Flexible contracts are necessary for V2G deployment. Price responsive demand and V2G also support the energy transition by shifting demand to times of renewable generation abundance. Promoting the adoption of flexible contracts with hedging and the deployment of V2G is critical for a secure, sustainable, and least-cost energy transition.

Declarative memory enables cognitive agents to effectively store and retrieve factual memory in real-time. Increasing the capacity of a real-time agent's declarative memory increases an agent's ability to interact intelligently with its environment but requires a scalable retrieval system. This work represents an extension of the Accelerated Declarative Memory (ADM) system, referred to as Hardware Accelerated Declarative Memory (HADM), to execute retrievals on a GPU. HADM also presents improvements over ADM's CPU execution and considers critical behavior for indefinitely running declarative memories. The negative effects of a constant maximum associative strength are considered, and mitigating solutions are proposed. HADM utilizes a GPU to process the entire semantic network in parallel during retrievals, yielding significantly faster declarative retrievals. The resulting GPU-accelerated retrievals show an average speedup of approximately 70 times over the previous Service Oriented Architecture Declarative Memory (soaDM) implementation and an average speedup of approximately 5 times over ADM. HADM is the first GPU-accelerated declarative memory system in existence.

In this paper, we present O 3 real, a privacy-preserving distributed middleware for real-time collaborative editing of documents. O 3 real introduces a novel approach for building peer-to-peer real-time collaborative applications, using a reliable broadcast channel mechanism for network communication, but at the same time provides for persistent storage management of collaborative documents using the filesystem interface of a POSIX compliant filesystem. This approach enables real-time, completely decentralized collaboration among users, without the need for a third party to intervene, and significantly simplifies the creation of peer-to-peer collaborative applications. We demonstrate that O 3 real scales well for real-time collaboration use-cases. For example, with 33 users simultaneously collaborating on a document in realtime over a WAN with a 50 ms link delay, the average perceived latency is approximately 54 ms, which is very close to the optimal baseline. In comparison, Etherpad exhibits nearly twice the perceived latency.

Large-scale interactive web services and advanced AI applications make sophisticated decisions in real-time, based on executing a massive amount of computation tasks on thousands of servers. Task schedulers, which often operate in heterogeneous and volatile environments, require high throughput, i.e., scheduling millions of tasks per second, and low latency, i.e., incurring minimal scheduling delays for millisecond-level tasks. Scheduling is further complicated by other users’ workloads in a shared system, other background activities, and the diverse hardware configurations inside *** present Rosella, a new self-driving, distributed approach for task scheduling in heterogeneous clusters. Rosella automatically learns the compute environment and adjusts its scheduling policy in real-time. The solution provides high throughput and low latency simultaneously because it runs in parallel on multiple machines with minimum coordination and only performs simple operations for each scheduling decision. Our learning module monitors total system load and uses the information to dynamically determine optimal estimation strategy for the backends’ compute-power. Rosella generalizes power-of-two-choice algorithms to handle heterogeneous workers, reducing the max queue length of O(logn) obtained by prior algorithms to O(logn). We evaluate Rosella with a variety of workloads on a 32-node AWS cluster. Experimental results show that Rosella significantly reduces task response time, and adapts to environment changes quickly.

The roadside Basic unit (RSU) can relieve the heavy computing and analysis pressure required by vehicles’computing tasks. Due to the mobility of vehicles and limited computing resources, it is difficult to deal extensive vehicle tasks in time. Therefore, we consider the computation task offloading problem between the vehicles, as well as the dynamic topology caused by the vehicle movement and the randomness of task arrival, and propose an online offloading method based on fairness awareness, which can be ensured tolerable delays and the requirement of the quality of experience (QoE) between vehicles by introducing delay-aware and price-constrained virtual queues. By Lyapunov optimization technology, the objective function is transformed into a drift-plus-penalty profit minimum bound problem, achieveing all the offloading decisions by the realtime resource requirements and topology state. Finally, extensive simulations are performed to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
