Energy efficiency is the most challenging issue in wireless sensor network to prolong the life time of the network, as the sensors has to be unattended. Cluster based communication can reduce the traffic on the network and gives the opportunity to other sensors for periodic sleep and thus save energy. Passive clustering (PC) can perform a significant role to minimize the network load as it is less computational and light weight. First declaration wins method of PC without any priority generates severe collision in the network and forms the clusters very dense with large amount of overlapping region. We have proposed several modifications for the existing passive clustering algorithm to prolong the life time of the network with better cluster formation.

It is extremely important to minimize network access time in constructing a high-performance PC cluster system For an SCI based PC cluster it is possilbe to reduce the network access time by maintaining network cache in each cluster node, This paper presents a CC-NUMA card that utilizes network cache for SCI based PC clustering The CC-NUMA card is directly plugged into the PCI solot of each node, and contains shared memory network cache, and interconnection modules. The network cache is maintained for the shared memory on the PCI bus of cluster nodes. The coherency mechanism between the network cache and the shared memory is based on the IEEE SCI standard. A CC-NUMA prototype card is developed to evaluate the performance of the system. According to the experiments. the cluster system with the CC-NUMA card showed considerable improvements compared with an SCI based clustser without network cache.

An automatic switch among ensembles of clustering algorithms is proposed as a part of the bibliographic big data retrieval system by utilizing a fuzzy inference engine as a decision support tool to select the fastest performing clustering algorithm between fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering, Newman-Girvan clustering, and the combination of both. It aims to realize the best clustering performance with the reduction of computational complexity from O($n^3$) to O(n). The automatic switch is developed by using fuzzy logic controller written in Java and accepts 3 inputs from each clustering result, i.e., number of clusters, number of vertices, and time taken to complete the clustering process. The experimental results on PC (Intel Core i5-3210M at 2.50 GHz) demonstrates that the combination of both clustering algorithms is selected as the best performing algorithm in 20 out of 27 cases with the highest percentage of 83.99%, completed in 161 seconds. The self-adapted FCM is selected as the best performing algorithm in 4 cases and the Newman-Girvan is selected in 3 cases.The automatic switch is to be incorporated into the bibliographic big data retrieval system that focuses on visualization of fuzzy relationship using hybrid approach combining FCM and Newman-Girvan algorithm, and is planning to be released to the public through the Internet.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of achieving proportional fairness in hierarchical wireless sensor networks. Combining clustering formulation and scheduling, we maximize total bandwidth utility for proportional fairness while controlling the power consumption to a minimum value. This problem is decomposed into two sub-problems and solved in two stages, which are Clustering Formulation Stage and Scheduling Stage, respectively. The above algorithm, called CSPF_PC, runs in a network formulation sequence. In the Clustering Formulation Stage, we let the sensor nodes join to the cluster head nodes by adjusting transmit power in a greedy strategy; in the Scheduling Stage, the proportional fairness is achieved by scheduling the time-slot resource. Simulation results verify the superior performance of our algorithm over the compared algorithms on fairness index.

This paper presents a method for generating an autonomous activity-based diary in the environment including a personal computer (PC). In order to record a user's various tasks in front of a PC, we consider the contextual information such as current time, opened programs, and user interactions. As one modality for the user interaction, a motion sensor was applied to recognize a user's hand gestures in case that the activity is conducted without interaction between the user and the PC. Moreover, we propose a temporal clustering method to recapitulate the sequential and meaningful activity in the stream of extracted PC usage logs. By combining those two processes, we summarize the user activities in the PC environment.

We apply topological measures of clustering such as percolation and genus curves (PC & GC) and shape statistics to a set of scale free N-body simulations of large scale structure. Both genus and percolation curves evolve with time reflecting growth of non-Gaussianity in the N-body density field. The amplitude of the genus curve decreases with epoch due to non-linear mode coupling, the decrease being more noticeable for spectra with small scale power. Plotted against the filling factor GC shows very little evolution - a surprising result, since the percolation curve shows significant evolution for the same data. Our results indicate that both PC and GC could be used to discriminate between rival models of structure formation and the analysis of CMB maps. Using shape sensitive statistics we find that there is a strong tendency for objects in our simulations to be filament-like, the degree of filamentarity increasing with epoch.

With the help of newly arrived technology such as PC clustering, molecular dynamics (MD) seems to be promising for large-scale materials simulations. A cost-effective cluster is set up using commodity PCs connected over Ethernet with fast switching devices and free software Linux. Executing MD simulations in the parallel sessions makes it possible to carry out large-scale materials simulations at acceptable computation time and costs. In this study, the MD computer code for fracture simulation is modified to comply with MPI (Message Passing Interface) specification, and runs on the PC cluster in parallel mode flawlessly. It is noted that PC clusters can provide a rather inexpensive high-performance computing environment comparing to supercomputers, if properly arranged.

광선 추적 기법은 컴퓨터를 활용하여 사진과 같은 고해상도의 영상을 얻어내기 위한 렌더링 기법 중 하나이다. 그러나 이 기법은 이미지를 생성할 때 각 접마다 시뮬레이션을 하여 계산해 내므로 접의 수에 따른 계산량이 증가되고 그에 따른 계산 시간이 많이 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 많은 계산량을 처리하기 위해 병렬처리 기법을 활용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 MPI(Message Passing Interface)를 이용한 병렬 광선 추적 기법을 제시하고 그러한 기법을 여러대의 PC를 이용한 PC Clustering 기법에 적용시켜봄으로써 복잡한 계산에 소요되는 시간을 단축시키고자 하였다. 또한 작업의 크기의 변화에 따른 작업 시간과 노드 수의 증가에 따른 속도 향상률을 알아보았다. 이러한 실험을 위해 병렬 프로그래밍 도구로는 Windows NT 기반의 MPICH를 사용하였고 노드의 수는 3대에서 30대까지 증가시켰다. 노드의 수가 증가함에 따라 렌더링에 소요되는 시간이 선형적으로 감소함을 알 수 있었다.
