Charge sharing is becoming an important topic as the feature size scales down in fin field-effect-transistor （FinFET） technology. However, the studies of charge sharing induced single-event transient （SET） pulse quenching with bulk FinFET are reported seldomly. Using three-dimensional technology computer aided design （3DTCAD） mixed-mode simulations, the effects of supply voltage and body-biasing on SET pulse quenching are investigated for the first time in bulk FinFET process. Research results indicate that due to an enhanced charge sharing effect, the propagating SET pulse width decreases with reducing supply voltage. Moreover, compared with reverse body-biasing （RBB）, the circuit with forward body-biasing （FBB） is vulnerable to charge sharing and can effectively mitigate the propagating SET pulse width up to 53% at least. This can provide guidance for radiation-hardened bulk FinFET technology especially in low power and high performance applications.

On virtualization platforms, peak memory de- mand caused by hotspot applications often triggers page swapping in guest OS, causing performance degradation in- side and outside of this virtual machine （VM）. Even though host holds sufficient memory pages, guest OS is unable to utilize free pages in host directly due to the semantic gap between virtual machine monitor （MM） and guest operat- ing system （OS）. Our work aims at utilizing the free memory scattered in multiple hosts in a virtualization environment to improve the performance of guest swapping in a transparent and implicit way. Based on the insightful analysis of behav- ioral characteristics of guest swapping, we design and im- plement a distributed and scalable framework HybridSwap. It dynamically constructs virtual swap pools using various policies, and builds up a synthetic swapping mechanism in a peer-to-peer way, which can adaptively choose different vir- tual swap pools. We implement the prototype of HybridSwap and evaluate it with some benchmarks in different scenar- ios. The evaluation results demonstrate that our solution has the ability to promote the guest swapping efficiency indeed and shows a double performance promotion in some cases. Even in the worst case, the system overhead brought by Hy- bridSwap is acceptable.
With the rapid growth of the available information on the Internet, it is more difficult for us to find the relevant information quickly on the Web. Named Entity Recognition (NER), one of the key techniques in some we...

On June 17, 2013, MilkyWay-2 （Tianhe-2） supercomputer was crowned as the fastest supercomputer in the world on the 41th TOP500 list. This paper provides an overview of the MilkyWay-2 project and describes the design of hardware and software systems. The key architecture features of MilkyWay-2 are highlighted, including neo-heterogeneous compute nodes integrating commodity- off-the-shelf processors and accelerators that share similar instruction set architecture, powerful networks that employ proprietary interconnection chips to support the massively parallel message-passing communications, proprietary 16- core processor designed for scientific computing, efficient software stacks that provide high performance file system, emerging programming model for heterogeneous systems, and intelligent system administration. We perform extensive evaluation with wide-ranging applications from LINPACK and Graph500 benchmarks to massively parallel software deployed in the system.

Recent years,the hardening of combinational circuits is becoming a common *** the transistor-level hardening technique,the cell-level hardening technique,a divide and conquer strategy,can substantially make use of some typical character in the cell-circuit module to mitigate single event transient(SET)*** mirror image(MI)technique proposed in this paper can adequately enhance the charge sharing in those cell-circuits with stage-by-stage inverter-like structure.3D TCAD mixed-mode simulation have been performed in 65 nm twinwell bulk CMOS process,the results indicate that the MI technique can almost reduce the SET pulse width from the anterior-stage PMOS over 25%,and can mitigate the SET pulse width from the posterior-stage PMOS about 10%.The MI technique,a represent of the cell-level technique,may be the future of the hardening of combinational circuits.

Interconnection network plays an important role in scalable high performance computer （HPC） systems. The TH Express-2 interconnect has been used in MilkyWay-2 system to provide high-bandwidth and low-latency interprocessot communications, and continuous efforts are devoted to the development of our proprietary interconnect. This paper describes the state-of-the-art of our proprietary interconnect, especially emphasizing on the design of network interface. Several key features are introduced, such as user-level communication, remote direct memory access, offload collective operation, and hardware reliable end-to-end communication, etc. The design of a low level message passing infrastructures and an upper message passing services are also proposed. The preliminary performance results demonstrate the efficiency of the TH interconnect interface.

We consider the maximal vector problem on uncertain data, which has been recently posed by the study on processing skyline queries over a probabilistic data stream in the database context. Let D n be a set of n points in a d-dimensional space and q (0 < q 1) be a probability threshold; each point in D n has a probability to occur. Our problem is concerned with how to estimate the expected size of the probabilistic skyline, which consists of all the points that are not dominated by any other point in D n with a probability not less than q. We prove that the upper bound of the expected size is O(min{n, (- ln q)(ln n) d-1 }) under the assumptions that the value distribution on each dimension is independent and the values of the points along each dimension are distinct. The main idea of our proof is to find a recurrence about the expected size and solve it. Our results reveal the relationship between the probability threshold q and the expected size of the probabilistic skyline, and show that the upper bound is poly-logarithmic when q is not extremely small.
