In order to provide high resource utilization and QoS assurance inutility computing hosting concurrently various services, this paper proposes aservice computing framework-RAINBOW for VM(Virtual Machine)-basedutility computing. In RAINBOW, we present a priority-based resourcescheduling scheme including resource flowing algorithms (RFaVM) to optimizeresource allocations amongst services. The principle of RFaVM is preferentiallyensuring performance of some critical services by degrading of others to someextent when resource competition arises. Based on our prototype, we evaluateRAINBOW and RFaVM. The experimental results show that RAINBOWwithout RFaVM provides 28%-324% improvements in service performance,and 26% higher the average CPU utilization than traditional service computingframework (TSF) in typical enterprise environment. RAINBOW with RFaVMfurther improves performance by 25%-42% for those critical services whileonly introducing up to 7% performance degradation to others, with 2%-8%more improvements in resource utilization than RAINBOW without RFaVM.

This paper studies the issue of human resource plan in an employee leasing center. The center is engaged in the business of leasing its own contract employees and acting as an agent for flexible employees outside the center. The employees considered in this paper belong to one type of employees that are high-ranked and important for the firms. But this type of employees can be classified into two parts: the contract employees in the employee leasing center and the temporary employees in the manpower market. At first we take into account recruitment/dismissal factors and propose stochastically optimal multi-period decision model of the problem. In the model there are stochastic constraint conditions and the decision (control) in each period is the number of the contract employees that are recruited or dismissed by the center and the objective is to maximize the overall expected net revenue of the center over planning horizon. Then we transform the stochastic optimal control problem into the determined optimal control problem by transforming stochastic constraint conditions into determined constraint conditions. Furthermore we analyze the limits of the states in each period, develop a dynamic programming algorithm to search for an optimal solution to the problem and a heuristic approximate algorithm to find out an approximate optimal solution. Analyzing reveals that the heuristic algorithm is superior to the dynamic programming in time complexity. Finally, we use two algorithms to solve some simulating data case. The results reveal that the error between the two solutions is no more than 5% for each case.
Power consumption in scan-based testing is a major concern nowadays. In this paper, we present a new X-filling technique to reduce both shift power and capture power during scan tests, namely LSC-filling. The basic id...

Sign Language Recognition (SLR) systems are mostly based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and have achieved excellent results. However, the assumption of frame independence in HMM makes it inconsistent with the characteristic of strong temporal correlation in sign language signals. Polynomial Segment Model (PSM) explicitly represents the temporal evolution of sign language features as a Gaussian process with time-varying parameters. In this paper PSM is first introduced to SLR framework to solve the temporal correlation problem. Considering the correlation among the coefficients of polynomial trajectorypsilas different orders, Mahalanobis distance is used as the classification criterion to evaluate the likelihood of test data. Experimental results show that our method outperform the conventional HMM methods by 6.81% in recognition accuracy.

This paper introduces the Godson-T manycore architecture and demonstrates the efficiency of its synchronization mechanism through a computation intensive bioinformatics application: the comparison of protein banks. The parallel part of the protein sequence comparison algorithm can nearly get a linear speed-up thanks to a fine tuning of the synchronization mechanism provided by the Godson-T chip.

An efficient multiscale approach for segmentation of the synthetic aperture radar images is presented based on combining the multiscale feature of SAR image with the self-organizing feature map (SOFM) network. Firstly, we employ multiscale autoregressive model for extracting the feature of SAR image, which is the input of the network. Secondly, SOFM networks are trained and applied to SAR image segmentation by using the algorithm we have proposed. Experiments of SAR image segmentation are shown to validate the procedure.

A valid multiscale unsupervised segmentation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is proposed by combining Expectation Maximization with the genetic algorithm (GA). The mixture multiscale stochastic model is introduced to characterize and exploit the scale-to-scale statistical variations and statistical variations in same scale in SAR imagery due to radar speckle, and segmentation method is given by combining the GA algorithm with EM algorithm. The algorithm is capable of selecting the number of components of the model by using the minimum description length criterion. Our approach benefits from the properties of Genetic algorithms and the EM algorithm by combination of both into a single procedure. The experiments on the SAR images show that the proposed method outperforms the EM method.

Allocation order is the best for locality, which slide mark compact algorithm is based on. But traditional design made the algorithm's overhead too large. We proposed a fast slide mark compact algorithm, which reduces the overhead by mark bit table, live block pool and offset table. The results show that it achieves up to 8.9% speedup in industry-standard benchmark SPEC JVM98 on the Pentium 4, 11% improvement in dtlb miss numbers and 13.6% reduce with L2 cache miss numbers.

The characteristics of advanced integrated circuit technologies require architects to look for new ways to utilize large numbers of gates and mitigate the effects of high interconnect delays. Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) exploit increasing transistor counts by placing multiple processors on a single die. As the chip multiprocessors (CMPs) have become the trend of high performance microprocessors, the target workloads become more and more diversified. Due to the wire delay problem and diversity of applications, neither private nor shared caches can provide both large capacity and fast access in CMPs. A novel CMP cache design, the heterogeneous CMP cache (HCC) is presented, in which chips are constructed by tiles of two different categories. L2 caches of private tiles provide lowest hit latency and L2 cache of shared tiles increases the effective cache capacity for shared data. Incorporating indirect-index cache technology to share capacity between different hierarchies, HCC provide a both capacity-effective and access-fast on-chip memory subsystem. Detailed full-system simulations are used to analyze the HCC performance for various programs, including SPEC CPU2000, SPLASH2 and commercial workloads. The result shows that HCC improves performance by 16% for single-threaded benchmarks and 9% for multi-thread benchmarks. HCC is easy to implement and the design ideas will be used in the future multi-core processors of Godson series.
