Distributed Systems can be defined as set of computing resources connected by computer network. One of the most significant techniques in optimization problem domains is parallel genetic algorithms, which are based on distributed systems. Since the status of dynamic network environments such as Internet and mobile computing. can be changed continually, it must not be efficient on the dynamic environments to solve an optimization problem using previous parallel genetic algorithms themselves. In this paper, we propose the effective technique, in which the parallel genetic algorithm can be used efficiently on the dynamic network environments.

This study presents a noble scheme for distributed and parallel simulations with optimized agent placement for simulation instances. The traditional parallel simulation has some limitations in that it does not provide sufficient performance even though using multiple resources. The main reason for this discrepancy is that supporting parallelism inevitably requires additional costs in addition to the base simulation cost. We present a comprehensive study of parallel simulation architectures, execution flows, and characteristics. Then, we identify critical challenges for optimizing large simulations for parallel instances. Based on our cost-benefit analysis, we propose a novel approach to overcome the performance constraints of agent-based parallel simulations. We also propose a solution for eliminating the synchronizing cost among local instances. Our method ensures balanced performance through optimal deployment of agents to local instances and an adaptive agent placement scheme according to the simulation load. Additionally, our empirical evaluation reveals that the proposed model achieves better performance than conventional methods under several conditions.

We study parallel processing techniques for the R programming language of high performance computing technology. In this study, we used massively parallel computing system which has 25,408 cpu cores. We conducted a performance evaluation of a distributed memory system using MPI and of a the shared memory system using OpenMP. Our findings are summarized as follows. First, For some particular algorithms, parallel processing is about 150 times faster than serial processing in R. Second, the distributed memory system gets faster as the number of nodes increases while shared memory system is limited in the improvement of performance, due to the limit of the number of cpus in a single system.

Data mining is an effective method of the discovery of useful information such as rules and previously unknown patterns existing in large databases. The discovery of association rules is an important data mining problem. We have developed a new parallel mining called Distributed Frequent Pattern Tree (abbreviated by DFPT) algorithm on a distributed shared nothing parallel system to detect association rules. DFPT algorithm is devised for parallel execution of the FP-growth algorithm. It needs only two full disk data scanning of the database by eliminating the need for generating the candidate items. We have achieved good workload balancing throughout the mining process by distributing the work equally to all processors. We implemented the algorithm on a PC cluster system, and observed that the algorithm outperformed the Improved Count Distribution scheme.

In this research, the feasibility of distributed finite element analysis system with STEP and CORBA has been investigated. The enabling technologies such as CORBA and Java play key roles in the development of integrated and geographically distributed application software. In addition to the distribution of analysis modules, numerical solution process itself is again divided into parallel processes using multi-frontal method for computational efficiency. In contrast to the specially designed parallel process for specific hardware, CORBA-based parallel process is well suited for heterogeneous platforms over the network. The idea of Web-based distributed analysis system may be applied to the engineering ASP for design and analysis in the product development processes. We believe that the proposed approach for the analysis can be extended to the entire product development process for sharing and utilizing common product data in the distributed engineering environment, thus eventually provide basis for virtual enterprise.

The DEVS(discrete event system specificaition) formalism specifies a discrete event system in a hierarchical, modular form. DEVSIM++ is a C++based general purpose DEVS abstract simulator which can simulate systems modeled by the DEVS formalism in a sequential environment. This paper describes P-DEVSIM++which is a parallel version of DEVSIM++ . In P-DEVSIM++, the external and internal event of DEVS models can by processed in parallel. For such processing, we propose a parallel, distributed optimistic simulation algorithm based on the Time Warp approach. However, the proposed algorithm localizes the rollback of a model within itself, not possible in the standard Time Warp approach. An advantage of such localization is that the simulation time may be reduced. To evaluate its performance, we simulate a single bus multiprocessor architecture system with an external common memory. Simulation result shows that significant speedup is made possible with our algorithm in a parallel environment.

Since java thread is an object which is treated as independent process within one execution space in the multiprocessing environment, we can use it for independent process of parallel processing. Using thread and synchronization mechanism of java enables us to write parallel application program easily. Therefore, a lot of results are exist which is apply the feature of java that support parallel processing to the distributed computing environment. In this paper, we introduce a system of environment that support parallel execution of thread which is included in legacy java program. The system named TORB(Transparent Object Request Broker) enables us parallel execution of legacy java program after simple converting process, since it support the feature of programming transparency. TORB is extended version of distributed programming tool that is published by our research team. And it had only typical distributed processing feature that is execute a specified function at the specified computer.

An operationally secure power system is one low probability of blackout or equipment damage. The power system is needed to maintain a designated security level at minimum operating cost. The inclusions of security make power system problem complex. But, because security and optimality are normally conflicting requirement, the separate treatments of both are inappropriate. So, a unified hierarchical formulation is needed. In this paper, the overview of security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) is presented and an introduction of parallel distributed formulation to SCOPF is also presented.

Recently with increasing the use of parallel computing and cluster system which was connected high speed network, the interest about distributed and parallel file system is increasing. Specially, there are many researches, which focused on optimizing the performance of distributed and parallel file system for the more efficient use of cluster system. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of PVFS(Parallel Virtual File System) in small cluster system. In addition, to improve the PVFS performance we proposed the chancing the size of flow buffer according to the network speed and we optimized the PVFS performance on small cluster system.

The parallel/distributed processing with a lot of the idle hosts on the web has the high coot-performance ratio for large-scale applications. It's processing has to show the solutions for unpredictable status such as heterogeneity of hosts, variability of hosts, autonomy of hosts, the supporting performance continuously, and the number of hosts which are participated in computation and so on. In this paper, we propose the strategy of adaptive tack reallocation based on performance the host job processing, spread out geographically Also, It shows the scheme of dynamic host management with dynamic environment, which is changed by lots of hosts on the web during parallel processing for large-scale applications. This paper implements the PDSWeb (Parallel/Distributed Scheme on Web) system, evaluates and applies It to the generation of rendering image with highly intensive computation. The results are showed that the adaptive task reallocation with the variation of hosts has been increased up to maximum 90% and the improvement in performance according to add/delete of hosts.
