This paper introduces balancing energy and memory consumption for lifetime increase of wireless sensor network. In cluster-based wireless sensor network, sensor nodes adjacent of cluster heads have a tendency to deplete their own battery energy and cluster heads occupy memory space significantly. If the nodes close to region where events occur frequently consume their energy and memory fully, network might be destroyed even though most of nodes are still alive. Therefore, it needs to balance network energy and memory with consideration of event occurrence probability so that network lifetime is increased. We show a method of balancing wireless sensor network energy and memory to organize cluster groups and elect cluster heads in terms of event occurrence probability.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.

본 논문에서는 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 성능 향상을 위한 효율적인 동적 작업부하 균등화 정책을 제안한다. 이 정책은 시스템 자원인 CPU와 메모리를 효율적으로 사용하여 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 처리량을 최대화하고, 각 작업의 수행시간을 최소화한다. 또한 이 정책은 수행중인 작업의 메모리 요구량과 각 노드의 부하 상태를 파악하여 작업을 동적으로 할당한다. 이때 작업을 할당받은 노드가 과부하 상태가 되면 다른 노드로 작업을 이주시켜 각 노드의 작업부하를 균등하게 유지함으로써 작업의 대기시간을 줄이고, 각 작업의 수행시간을 단축한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안하는 동적 작업부하 균등화 정책이 기존의 메모리 기반의 작업부하 균등화 정책에 비해 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템의 성능 향상 면에서 우수함을 보인다.

Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) have become the common network infrastructure for a wide scope of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. For efficient routing in LLNs, IETF provides a standard solution, namely the IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs (RPL). It enables effective interconnectivity with IP networks and flexibly can meet the different application requirements of IoT deployments. However, it still suffers from different open issues, particularly in large-scale setups. These include the node unreachability problem which leads to increasing routing losses at RPL sink nodes. It is a result of the event of memory overflow at LLNs devices due to their limited hardware capabilities. Although this can be alleviated by the establishment of multi-sink topologies, RPL still lacks the support for effective load balancing among multiple sinks. In this paper, we address the need for an efficient multi-sink load balancing solution to enhance the performance of PRL in large-scale scenarios and alleviate the node unreachability problem. We propose a new RPL objective function, Multi-Sink Load Balancing Objective Function (MSLBOF), and introduce the Memory Utilization metrics. MSLBOF enables each RPL node to perform optimal sink selection in a way that insure better memory utilization and effective load balancing. Evaluation results demonstrate the efficiency of MSLBOF in decreasing packet loss and enhancing network stability, compared to MRHOF in standard RPL.

It is challenging to parallelize problems with irregular computation and communication. In this paper, we propose an asynchronous algorithm for balancing unpredictable workload on distributed-memory machines. By using an initial workload estimate, we first partition the computations such that the workload is distributed evenly across the processors. In addition, we perform task migrations dynamically for adapting to the evolving workload. To demonstrate the usefulness of our load balancing strategy, we conducted experiments on an IBM SP2 and a Cray T3D. Experimental results show that our task migration strategy can balance unpredictable workload with little overhead. Our code using C and MPI is portable onto other distributed-memory machines.

본 논문은 케미컬 탱커시장의 운임예측에 관하여 인공신경망을 적용하였으며 전통적인 시계열 모델인 ARIMA모형과 비교하였다. 케미컬 시장의 경우 상대적으로 소규모이나 범용성이 높은 선박을 이용한 시장으로 수급모델을 활용하여 운임시장을 분석하기 어려우며, 운임의 변동성이 크기 때문에 선형모형을 활용하는데는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 케미컬 시장의 특성을 고려하여 비선형 모델인 인공신경망을 이용하여 ARIMA와 비교한 결과 RMSE와 Correlation 측면에서 예측성능이 우수함을 보였으며, 케미컬 탱커의 운임예측에 더 적합함을 보였다. 본 연구는 운임거래에 있어 과학적 모델을 제시함으로써 의사결정의 질을 제고하는데 기여할 뿐만 아니라 학문적으로 소외되어온 케미컬 시장 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Smart TV is expected to bring cloud services based on virtualization technologies to the home environment with hardware and software support. Although most physical resources can be shared among virtual machines (VMs) using a time sharing approach, allocating the proper amount of memory to VMs is still challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism to dynamically balance the memory allocation among VMs in virtualized Smart TV systems. In contrast to previous studies, where a virtual machine monitor (VMM) is solely responsible for estimating the working set size, our mechanism is symbiotic. Each VM periodically reports its memory usage pattern to the VMM. The VMM then predicts the future memory demand of each VM and rebalances the memory allocation among the VMs when necessary. Experimental results show that our mechanism improves performance by up to 18.28 times and reduces expensive memory swapping by up to 99.73% with negligible overheads (0.05% on average).

최근 소셜 미디어의 성장과 디지털 기기의 활용이 증가함에 따라 기하급수적으로 데이터가 급증하고 있다. 기존 디스크 기반 분산 파일 시스템은 I/O 처리 비용 및 병목 현상으로 인해 데이터 처리나 데이터 접근 성능에 한계가 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 메모리에 데이터를 관리하는 캐시 기법이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 메모리 환경에서 부하 분산을 처리하기 위한 캐시 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 노드의 메모리의 크기가 서로 상이한 환경에서 메모리 크기에 따라 데이터를 분배하고 노드의 부하가 발생할 경우 핫 데이터를 재분배한다. 또한, 캐시 항목의 재사용 가능성, 사용 빈도수, 접근 시간을 고려한 캐시 교체 기법을 제안한다. 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 분산 캐시 기법이 기존에 캐시 관리 기법에 비해 우수함을 입증한다.
