Multimedia SIMD extensions are commonly employed today to speed up media processing. When performing vectorization for SIMD architectures, one of the major issues is to handle the problem of memory alignment. Prior study focused on either vectorizing loops with all memory references being properly aligned, or introducing extra operations to deal with the misaligned memory references. On the other hand, multi-core SIMD architectures require coarse-grain parallelism. Therefore, it is an important problem to study how to parallelize and vectorize loop nests with the awareness of data misalignments. This paper presents a loop transformation scheme that maximizes the parallelism of outermost loops, while the misaligned memory references in innermost loops are reduced. The basic idea of our technique is to align each level of loops in the nest, considering the constraint of dependence relations. To reduce the data misalignments, we establish a mathematical model with a concept of offset-collection and propose an effective heuristic algorithm. For coarser-grain parallelism, we propose some rules to analyze the outermost loop. When transformations are applied, the inner loops are involved to maximize the parallelism. To avoid introducing more data misalignments, the involved innermost loop is handled from other levels of loops. Experimental results show that 7 % to 37 % (on average 18.4 %) misaligned memory references can be reduced. The simulations on CELL show that 1.1x speedup can be reached by reducing the misaligned data, while 6.14x speedup can be achieved by enhancing the parallelism for multi-core.

There are increasing interests on mobile opportunistic networks which have promising applications. Constructing a mobile backbone can effectively improve the packet delivery performance of a mobile opportunistic network by excluding poor relay nodes and reducing packet collisions. However, it is highly challenging to construct an effective mobile backbone because of the absence of the quantitative relationship between the network performance and the selection of backbone nodes, and expositive search space. As nodes exhibit clear sociality observed in previous studies, We explicitly take such node sociality into account when computing the backbone for mobile opportunistic networks and we incrementally propose three algorithms for computing the mobile backbone. Trace-driven simulations have been conducted and simulation results demonstrate that the sociality-aware algorithms can achieve low delivery delay and high delivery ratio.
Optimal stopping theory is developed to achieve a good trade-off between decision performance and decision efforts such as the consumed decision time. In this paper, the optimal stopping theory is applied to fast mode...

In statistical word alignment for machine translation, function words usually cause poor aligning performance because they do not have clear correspondence between different languages. This paper proposes a novel approach to improve word alignment by pruning alignments of function words from an existing alignment model with high precision and recall. Based on monolingual and bilingual frequency characteristics, a language-independent function word recognition algorithm is first proposed. Then a group of carefully defined syntactic structures combined with content word alignments are used for further function word alignment pruning. The experimental results show that the proposed approach improves both the quality of word alignment and the performance of statistical machine translation on Chinese-to-English, Germanto- English and French-to-English language pairs.

In this paper, we develop an approach to achieve either frequency or amplitude modulation of an oscillator merely through feedback control. We present and implement a unified theory of our approach for any finite-dimensional continuous dynamical system that exhibits oscillatory behavior. The approach is illustrated not only for the normal forms of dynamical systems but also for representative biological models, such as the isolated and coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo model. We demonstrate the potential usefulness of our approach to uncover the mechanisms of frequency and amplitude modulations experimentally observed in a wide range of real systems.
Neural network language models, or continuous-space language models (CSLMs), have been shown to improve the performance of statistical machine translation (SMT) when they are used for reranking n-best translations. Ho...
