Ever increasing "Big data" can only be effectively processed by parallel computing. Parallel computing refers to a high performance computational method that achieves effectiveness by dividing a big query into smaller subtasks and aggregating results from subtasks to provide an output. However, it is well-known that parallel computing does not achieve scalability which means that performance is improved linearly by adding more computers because it requires a very careful assignment of tasks to each node and collecting results in a timely manner. Hadoop is one of the most successful platforms to attain scalability. In this paper, we propose a measurement for Hadoop optimization by utilizing a Lorenz curve which is a proxy for the inequality of hardware resources. Our proposed index takes into account the intrinsic overhead of Hadoop systems such as CPU, disk I/O and network. Therefore, it also indicates that a given Hadoop can be improved explicitly and in what capacity. Our proposed method is illustrated with experimental data and substantiated by Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper proposed and designed a structure to achieve high performance with a small number of cores in GPGPU with SIMT structure. GPGPU for application to mobile devices requires a structure to increase performance compared to power consumption. In order to reduce power consumption, the number of cores decreased, but to improve performance, the size of the warp scheduler for managing threads was set to 4, which was greatly reduced than 32 of general GPGPU. Reducing warp size can reduce the number of idle cycles in pipelines and efficiently apply memory latency to reduce miss penalty when accessing cache memory. The designed GPGPU measured computational performance using a test program that includes floating point operations and measured power consumption through a 28nm CMOS process to obtain 104.5GFlops/Watt as a performance per power. The results of this paper showed about four times better performance per power compared to Tegra K1 of Nvidia

A membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) cell is constructed by applying thin layer of a cation exchange membrane (Nafion) on cathode and an anion exchange membrane (aminated polyphenylene oxide, APPO) on anode. Compared to CDI cell without CEM and AEM coating, MCDI exhibits enhanced salt removal efficiency. When Nafion and APPO are used as CEM and AEM, optimized salt removal performance as high as 82.1% is observed when 1.2 V is applied for 3 min during absorption process and -1.0 V is applied for 1 min during desorption.

To enhance the performance of the IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access system, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the radio link. The efficiency of the uplink can be improved by using more efficient random access method. As new random access methods, we propose a RA_NBRM method which is based on the number of bandwidth request messages and a RA_CRA method which is based on the conflict resolution algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of the new methods is superior to that of the existing binary exponential backoff method.

In modern digital communication systems adapting high-order modulation and high performance channel code, log-likelihood ratios involving the repeated calculations of the logarithm of sum of exponential functions are necessary for demodulation and decoding. In this paper, the approximation methods called Min and MinC are applied to demodulation and decoding together and their complexity and joint performance are analyzed.

In Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)s, the detection of precise location of each node is essential for utilizing sensing data acquired from sensor nodes effectively. Among various location methods, the received signal strength(RSS) based localization scheme is mostly preferable in many applications because it can be easily implemented without any additional hardware cost. Since a RSS-based localization scheme is mainly affected by radio channel or obstacles such as building and mountain between two nodes, the localization error can be inevitable. To enhance the accuracy of localization in RSS-based localization scheme, a number of RSS measurements are needed, which results in the energy consumption. In this paper, a RSS based localization using Bayesian Compressive Sensing(BSS) with path-loss exponent estimation is proposed to improve the accuracy of localization in the energy-efficient way. In the propose scheme, we can increase the adaptative, reliability and accuracy of localization by estimating the path-loss exponents between nodes, and further we can enhance the energy efficiency by the compressive sensing. Through the simulation, it is shown that the proposed scheme can enhance the location accuracy of multiple unknown nodes with fewer RSS measurements and is robust against the channel variation.

A study for the evaluation of selected filter media that need further characterization particularily in the context of alpha measurements of radon progeny has been carried out by investigating physical characteristics and using the alpha spectroscopy. Physical characteristics was investigated by electrostatic charging and mechanical strength of filters, and then pressure drop before and after sampling was tested. Alpha spectroscopy was used to analyze the energy spectra from the deposition of radon progeny into filters. The results of the assessment showed that the newer filter types do not have a great advantage over the 'old standard' Millipore type AA. But Metricel DM-800 is recommended for those situations where electrostatic charging is a problem. Also this method will be used more effective for the evaluation of new developing filters in future.

The objective of this research is to analyze the ventilation performance of mechanical ventilation systems to enhance removal efficiency of indoor hamful gases. The ventilation performance is evaluated using a step-down method based on ASTM Standard E741-83. The ventilation performance is evaluated as a function of the ventilation rate and supply/extract locations using a tracer gas ($CO_2$) technique. As a result, the $CO_2$ concentration as a function of time is decayed exponentially and the ventilation performance is found to increase with increased the ventilation rate. The ventilation performance of the second type ventilation system is better than that of the first type or the third type. The ventilation performance without human occupancy increases up to 55% and the ventilation performance with one person increases up to 25% at the supply air of 570Lpm comparing with a natural reduction after one hour in the test chamber. The ventilation performance is better than 15% comparing with natural decay at the supply of 570Lpm in an office room.
