Transformer failure caused by the corrosion of copper material in transformer attracts great attention of researchers and engineers. In this paper, Karamay No. 25 naphthenic mineral oil, Karamay No. 25 paraffinic mineral oil, Kraft paper and copper were used to compose four combinations of oil-paper insulation samples. The ageing by-products and dielectric properties of the four combinations of oil-paper insulation samples were compared after they were thermally aged at 130°C. The influence of copper on the by-products and dielectric properties of different oil-paper insulations was obtained. The results show that copper can accelerate the ageing rate of insulation oils and reduce their AC breakdown voltage. The content of copper substance dissolved in insulating oil increases with ageing time at first and then decreases. The paper aged in the oil-paper insulation sample with copper has higher moisture content than the one without copper. Results of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) show that there is copper product deposited on the surface of insulation paper. The insulation oil and paper aged in the oil-paper insulation sample with copper have higher dielectric loss and conductivity than that without copper.

Thread Level Speculation (TLS) is a technique aims at boosting the performance of sequential programs running on Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) by automatically parallelizing them. It exempts programmers from the heavy task of parallel programming. But its performance may suffer from frequent squashing caused by inter-thread data dependency violation. In this paper, we propose a Network-on-Chip (NoC) in CMP that employs a priority-aware packet arbitration policy. Packet scheduling guided by such policy reduces the occurrence of TLS squashes. Simulation results with 5 applications show that our policy reduces squashes by 22% in best case and 15% on average. Moreover, our priority aware approach could be generalized to similar scenarios in which different threads running on CMP manifest different priorities.

Many applications meet certain programming patterns like pipeline, fork-join, do-all etc. While tools such as OS threads and OpenMP allow programmers only to express task or data parallelism, special support for programming patterns is distinctly lacking. Intel threading building blocks (TBB) is developed to address this problem, but its scheduler is general and not optimized for any of its parallel algorithms which include pipeline specially. In this paper, we provide a non-blocking framework for pipeline application on multi-core platform. We target linear pipeline in which each filter has one entrance and one exit. We design a novel work-stealing scheduler optimized specially for pipeline application: first, priority based stealing, priority is calculated for each filter in pipeline so that a worker can find the optimal "victim" easily when it needs to steal, second, multiple tasks can be stolen at a time so that much stealing time is reduced. A non-block queue is used to store intermediate result to reduce lock overhead and increase scalability. We apply our framework to four case studies, including text filter, two fish, ferret, ded up. And our framework reduces execution time of TBB by 72% in best case and 20% on average on an 8 core machine.

Service-oriented architecture and cloud computing have become the prevalent computing paradigm. In this paradigm, computing resources can be accessed like other utility services available in today's society. In the meantime, robotics applications are joining the trend. More and more robot applications are shifting from manufacture to non-manufacture and service industries. However, for the on-demand supply of the large-scale heterogeneous robots, It is still a problem have not yet been studied, including the fundamental management and efficiency issues in using of these resources. In this paper, we design a framework of "Robot Cloud Center" (RCC) following the general cloud computing paradigm to address the current limitations in capacity and versatility of robotic applications. In this framework, a robot can be provided as a service just like a public utility service so that everyone can access the powerful robotic services easily, efficiently, and cheaply. Based on a given scenario, a robot scheduling algorithm in RCC is proposed to take advantage of the heterogeneous robot resources to meet the end user's requirement with the minimum cost.

The paper presents a new approach to computing the abstract state and a maximum weight heuristic method for finding the shortest counter-example in verification of imperative programs. The strategy is incorporated in a verification system based on the counterexample-guided abstraction refinement method. The proposed method slashes both the size of the abstract state space and the number of invokes of a decision procedure. A number of benchmarks are employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach.
Some wafer fabrication processes are repeated processes, e.g. atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. For such processes, the wafers need to visit some processing modules for a number of times, which complicates the cy...
