Abstract With the popularization of terminal devices and services in Internet of things (IoT), it will be a challenge to design a network resource allocation method meeting various QoS requirements and effectively using substrate resources. In this paper, a dynamic network slicing mechanism including virtual network (VN) mapping and VN reconfiguration is proposed to provide network slices for services. Firstly, a service priority model is defined to create queue for resource allocation. Then a slice including Virtual Network Function (VNF) placement and routing with optimal cost is generated by VN mapping. Next, considering temporal variations of service resource requirements, the size… More >

Abstract In order to evaluate transportation policies quantitatively, virtual social experiments using traffic simulators are adequate. In particular, simulators with features of both precision and scalability are preferable for applications to real-world and wide-spread traffic phenomena. In this research, we tried to parallelize a multi-agent-based traffic simulator (ADVENTURE_Mates) and enhance its parallelization performance. In the simulator, a road map is modeled as a graph and cars are modeled as autonomous agents. A car agent acquires information from its circumference (other cars, traffic lights, etc.), makes a decision autonomously, and acts based on the decision. The precision is accomplished by employing a… More >

Abstract This paper deals with the design of framework for adaptive FEM analysis with dynamic load balancing in nondedicated parallel cluster computing environments. It describes in detail the structure and design of individual components of the framework.
The application of adaptivity paradigm to engineering problems results in computationally very demanding analysis in terms of both computational time and computer resources (memory, disk space, etc.). These demands can be alleviated by performing the analysis in a parallel computing environment. Typical parallel application decreases the demands on memory and other resources by spreading the task over several mutually interconnected computers and speeds… More >

Abstract There are two key issues in distributed intrusion detection system, that is, maintaining load balance of system and protecting data integrity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a new distributed intrusion detection model for big data based on nondestructive partitioning and balanced allocation. A data allocation strategy based on capacity and workload is introduced to achieve local load balance, and a dynamic load adjustment strategy is adopted to maintain global load balance of cluster. Moreover, data integrity is protected by using session reassemble and session partitioning. The simulation results show that the new model enjoys favorable advantages such as… More >

Abstract This paper deals with the implementation of the local meshless numerical method (LMM) on general purpose graphics processing units (GPU) in solving partial differential equations (PDE). The local meshless solution procedure is formulated in a way suitable for parallel execution and has been implemented on multiple GPUs. The implementation is tested on a solution of diffusion equation in a 2D domain. Different setups of the meshless approach regarding the selection of basis functions are tested on an interval up to 2.5 million of computational points. It is shown that monomials are a good selection of the basis when working with… More >

Abstract This paper describes the parallelization of contact/impact simulation for fracture modeling of brittle materials using a node separation scheme (NSS). We successfully demonstrated the fracture modeling of brittle materials using a cohesive fracture model. Since a NSS continuously generates new free surfaces as the computation progresses, the methodology requires increased computational time. To perform a simulation within a reasonable time period, a parallelization study is conducted. Particular methods for effective parallelization, especially for brittle materials, are described in detail. The crucial and most difficult strategy is the management of the data structure and communication needed to handle new contact nodes… More >

Abstract For biochemical systems, where some chemical species are represented by small numbers of molecules, discrete and stochastic approaches are more appropriate than continuous and deterministic approaches. The continuous deterministic approach using ordinary differential equations is adequate for understanding the average behavior of cells, while the discrete stochastic approach accurately captures noisy events in the growth-division cycle. Since the emergence of the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) by Gillespie, alternative algorithms have been developed whose goal is to improve the computational efficiency of the SSA. This paper explains and empirically compares the performance of some of these SSA alternatives on a realistic… More >
