This study aims to delineate the origin, purpose, process, and results of the research, focusing on investigating the impact of different exterior wall materials on outdoor thermal indicators in Nagoya, Japan. The ultimate goal is to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and improve urban outdoor thermal comfort. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is employed to evaluate two types of exterior wall materials: diffuse highly reflective (DHR) and retro-reflective (RR) materials. The research process involves assessing various outdoor thermal indices, such as wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), standard effective temperature (SET*), and universal thermal climate index (UTCI), in order to comprehend the thermal performance of each material. The results of the study indicate that the RR material consistently outperforms the DHR material in terms of outdoor thermal comfort, despite having slightly lower solar reflectance. This is supported by lower surface temperatures and surface heat flow associated with the RR material, suggesting reduced indoor cooling loads and significant energy savings for cooling purposes. These findings highlight the potential of RR material in mitigating the UHI effect and enhancing urban outdoor thermal conditions. By establishing a critical relationship between exterior wall materials and outdoor thermal indicators, this study proposes the adoption of RR materials for urban building exteriors as a sustainable and economically viable solution to improve urban outdoor thermal comfort and enhance the quality of life for residents.

This paper presents a deeply pipelined and massively parallel Binary Search Tree (BST) accelerator for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Our design relies on the extremely parallel on-chip memory, or Block RAMs (BRAMs) architecture of FPGAs. To achieve significant throughput for the search operation on BST, we present several novel mechanisms including tree duplication as well as horizontal, duplicated, and hybrid (horizontal-vertical) tree partitioning. Also, we present efficient techniques to decrease the stalling rates that can occur during the parallel tree search. By combining these techniques and implementations on Xilinx Virtex-7 VC709 platform, we achieve up to 8X throughput improvement gain in comparison to the baseline implementation, i.e., a fully-pipelined FPGA-based accelerator.

Fast detection of heavy flows (e.g., heavy hitters and heavy changers) in massive network traffic is challenging due to the stringent requirements of fast packet processing and limited resource availability. Invertible sketches are summary data structures that can recover heavy flows with small memory footprints and bounded errors, yet existing invertible sketches incur high memory access overhead that leads to performance degradation. We present MV-Sketch, a fast and compact invertible sketch that supports heavy flow detection with small and static memory allocation. MV-Sketch tracks candidate heavy flows inside the sketch data structure via the idea of majority voting, such that it incurs small memory access overhead in both update and query operations, while achieving high detection accuracy. We present theoretical analysis on the memory usage, performance, and accuracy of MV-Sketch. Trace-driven evaluation shows that MVSketch achieves higher accuracy than existing invertible sketches, with up to 3.38× throughput gain. We also show how to boost the performance of MV-Sketch with SIMD instructions.

In order to better understand the stochastic dynamic features of signalized traffic networks, we propose a Markov traffic model to simulate the dynamics of traffic link flow density for signalized urban traffic networks with demand uncertainty. In this model, we have four different state modes for the link according to different congestion levels of the link. Each link can only be in one of the four link state modes at any time, and the transition probability from one state to the other state is estimated by Bayesian estimation based on the distributions of the dynamic traffic flow densities, and the posterior probabilities. Therefore, we use a first-order Markov Chain Model to describe the dynamics of the traffic flow evolution process. We illustrate our approach for a small traffic network. Compared with the data from the microscopic traffic simulator SUMO, the proposed model can estimate the link traffic densities accurately and can give a reliable estimation of the uncertainties in the dynamic process of signalized traffic networks.
