In this study, we propose and compare stochastic variants of the extra-gradient alternating direction method, named the stochastic extra-gradient alternating direction method with Lagrangian function(SEGL) and the stochastic extra-gradient alternating direction method with augmented Lagrangian function(SEGAL), to minimize the graph-guided optimization problems, which are composited with two convex objective functions in large scale.A number of important applications in machine learning follow the graph-guided optimization formulation, such as linear regression, logistic regression, Lasso, structured extensions of Lasso, and structured regularized logistic regression. We conduct experiments on fused logistic regression and graph-guided regularized regression. Experimental results on several genres of datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms other competing algorithms, and SEGAL has better performance than SEGL in practical use.

We present an approach under the framework of abstract interpretation to analyze list-manipulating programs by combining shape and numerical abstractions. The analysis automatically divides a list into non-overlapping list segments according to the reachability property of pointer variables to list nodes. The list nodes in each segment are abstracted by a bit-vector wherein each bit corresponds to a pointer variable and indicates whether the nodes can be reached by that pointer variable. Moreover, for each bit-vector, we introduce an auxiliary integer variable, namely a counter variable, to record the number of nodes in the segment abstracted by that bit-vector. On this basis, we leverage the power of numerical abstractions to discover numerical relations among counter variables, so as to infer relational length properties among list segments. Our approach stands out in its ability to find intricate properties that involve both shape and numerical information, which are important for checking program properties such as memory safety and termination. A prototype is implemented and preliminary experimental results are encouraging. Copyright 2013 ACM.

The China dual-functional lithium–lead test blanket module(DFLL-TBM) is a liquid Li Pb blanket concept developed by the Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety technology of the Chinese Academy of sciences for testing in ITER to validate relevant tritium breeding and shielding technologies. In this study, neutronic calculations of DFLL-TBM were carried out using a massively parallel three-dimensional transport code, Hydra, with the Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library/MG. Hydra was developed by the Nuclear Engineering Computational Physics Lab based on the discrete ordinates method and has been devoted to neutronic analysis and shielding evaluation for nuclear facilities. An in-house Monte Carlo code(MCX) was employed to verify the discretized calculation model used by Hydra for the DFLL-TBM calculations. The results showed two key aspects:(1) In most material zones,Hydra solutions are in good agreement with the reference MCX results within 1%, and the maximal relative difference of the neutron flux is merely 3%, demonstrating the correctness of the calculation model;(2) while the current DFLL-TBM design meets the operation shielding requirement of ITER for 4 years, it does not satisfy the tritium self-sufficiency requirement. Compared to the two-step approach, Hydra produces higher accuracies as it does not rely on the homogenization technique during the calculation process. The parallel efficiency tests of Hydra using the DFLL-TBM model also showed that this code maintains a high parallel efficiency on O(100) processors and, as a result, is able to significantly improve computing performance through parallelization. Parameter studies have been carried out by varying the thickness of the beryllium armor layer and the tritium breeding zone to understand the influence of the beryllium layer and breeding zone thickness on tritium breeding performance. This establishes a foundation for further improvement in the tritium production performance of DFLL-TBM.
