In this paper, we propose an efficient automatic contrast enhancement algorithm for low lighting video. The algorithm is based on a piecewise stretch on the brightness component extracted with Retinex theory in HSV space to improve the visuality of the image. By dividing the brightness component into dark and bright part, nonlinear transformations with different distribution assumption were performed respectively. All the model parameters were estimated automatically according to the illumination conditions. We use two methods to estimate the brightness. The one is global illumination estimation and the other is local illumination estimation. In comparison with global estimation, a local illumination estimation method is proposed for the further improvement. Experiments show that the algorithm can achieve satisfactory effect for nighttime image or video enhancement by comparing with some state-of-the-art approaches.

The Embarrassingly parallel(EP) algorithm which is typical of many Monte Carloapplications provides an estimate of the upper achievable limits for double precision performance of parallel supercomputers. Recently, Intel released Many Integrated Core(MIC) architecture as a many-core co-processor. MIC often offers more than 50 cores each of which can run four hardware threads as well as 512-bit vector instructions. In this paper,we describe how the EP algorithm is accelerated effectively on the platforms containing MIC using the offload execution model. The result shows that the efficientimplementation of EP algorithm on MIC can take full advantage of MIC's computational resources and achieves a speedup of 3.06 compared with that on Intel Xeon E5-2670 CPU. Based on the EP algorithm on MIC and an effective task distribution model, the implementation of EP algorithm on a CPU-MIC heterogeneous platform achieves the performance of up to2134.86 Mop/s and 4.04 times speedup compared with that on Intel Xeon E5-2670 CPU.

Hidden terminal and collisions are well-known problems due to broadcasting nature of wireless network. In this paper, we address an efficient MAC protocol to evade the potential collisions caused by hidden terminals, where advanced phycical layer technique, full-duplex, is exploited to coordinate channel contention among nodes within two-hops range. Furhter-more, cooperative channel hopping(CCH) MAC is developed to improve the frequency efficiency by limiting the interference of hidden terminals and enabling a collision-free channel for further transmission. Basically, a fined channel hopping mechanism is proposed to avoid the continually interference and cooperative coordination is subjoined by the transmission of cyclic prefix. To the best of our knowledge, CCH-MAC validates the detection of subchannel contention on NI USRPs and evaluation via simulations shows that CCH-MAC achieves at least 35% throughput gain over FICA with a slightly loss in fairness.

By analyzing the problems and challenges of virtual machine image store system in cloud computing environment, we present a cooperative persistent cache (CoCache) for virtual disks. CoCache takes advantage of the service ability of the cached nodes by providing virtual image data service for other nodes. CoCache can transfer data between nodes in a P2P pattern, for extending data service ability of the system. CoCache is realized in the kernel space of Linux, can support any kind of VMM. Experiments show that CoCache can effectively reduce the cost during virtual machines read data, and promote the service ability of virtual machine storage system. Layer-aware cache policy is proposed specially for improving cache hit rate in the multi-layer and multipath environment.

Coordination among users is an indispensable part in wireless networks for efficient medium access. Alone with the rapid increase of transmission rate, however, coordination time becomes insufferable. We present AFD, namely asymmetric full duplex, to achieve high coordination efficiency at nearly zero overhead. In AFD, channel contention is performed simultaneously with data transmission. We propose a 3D pipeline contention scheme where the contention process is divided into several parallel stages and executed in a pipelined manner in a 3D domain specified by time, frequency and spatial antenna. To mitigate the interference between the data packet and the contention signal, we adopt a singleton PN sequence as a contention pilot. AFD provides a novel network-scale full duplex capability. The performance is evaluated by both simulations and measurements in a testbed. AFD outperforms IEEE 802.11 significantly, i.e., the Jain's fairness index is around 0.95 with a throughput gain up to 120%.

Coordination among users is an indispensable part in wireless networks for efficient access control. Alone with the rapid increase of the data transmission rate, however, coordination time becomes insufferable, even several times higher than that for data transmission. We present SIF, a signature-based frequency-domain contention mechanism to achieve high coordination efficiency with low overhead. In SIF, different user is assigned by a different PN sequence as a signature. A contending user issues its signature on some specific OFDM subcarriers and uses the binary sequence of the ON/OFF states of all OFDM subcarriers to deliver the contend information. A signature-based detection method is proposed to detect the CVs of other nodes quickly and reliably. It is shown that, the collision probability of SIF is very low even in a large wireless networks, e.g., less than 0.2% with 100 users. Moreover, as SIF can complete the coordination within one slot in most cases, the throughput gain is up to 200% in comparison with 802.11.

The contribution of parasitic bipolar amplification to SETs is experimentally verified using two P-hit target chains in the normal layout and in the special layout. For PMOSs in the normal layout, the single-event charge collection is composed of diffusion, drift, and the parasitic bipolar effect, while for PMOSs in the special layout, the parasitic bipolar junction transistor cannot turn on. Heavy ion experimental results show that PMOSs without parasitic bipolar amplification have a 21.4% decrease in the average SET pulse width and roughly a 40.2% reduction in the SET cross-section.
