Big data and business intelligence applications are facilitated by the MapReduce programming model while, at infrastructural layer, cloud computing provides flexible and cost effective solutions for allocating on demand large clusters. Capacity allocation in such systems is a key challenge to providing performance for MapReduce jobs and minimize cloud resource cost. The contribution of this paper is twofold: (i) we formulate a linear programming model able to minimize cloud resources cost and job rejection penalties for the execution of jobs of multiple classes with (soft) deadline guarantees, (ii) we provide new upper and lower bounds for MapReduce job execution time in shared Hadoop clusters. Moreover, our solutions are validated by a large set of experiments. We demonstrate that our method is able to determine the global optimal solution for systems including up to 1000 user classes in less than 0.5 seconds. Moreover, the execution time of MapReduce jobs are within 19% of our upper bounds on average.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126088969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition and Local Fourier Analysis to Study Numerical Methods: Two Examples 用圆柱代数分解和局部傅立叶分析研究数值方法:两个例子

{"title":"Using Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition and Local Fourier Analysis to Study Numerical Methods: Two Examples","authors":"Stefan Takacs","doi":"10.1109/SYNASC.2014.14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SYNASC.2014.14","url":null,"abstract":"Local Fourier analysis is a strong and well-established tool for analyzing the convergence of numerical methods for partial differential equations. The key idea of local Fourier analysis is to represent the occurring functions in terms of a Fourier series and to use this representation to study certain properties of the particular numerical method, like the convergence rate or an error estimate. In the process of applying a local Fourier analysis, it is typically necessary to determine the supremum of a more or less complicated term with respect to all frequencies and, potentially, other variables. The problem of computing such a supremum can be rewritten as a quantifier elimination problem, which can be solved with cylindrical algebraic decomposition, a well-known tool from symbolic computation. The combination of local Fourier analysis and cylindrical algebraic decomposition is a machinery that can be applied to a wide class of problems. In the present paper, we will discuss two examples. The first example is to compute the convergence rate of a multigrid method. As second example we will see that the machinery can also be used to do something rather different: We will compare approximation error estimates for different kinds of discretizations.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127402286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standard genetic algorithms are heuristics inspired by the simplified model of natural evolution and genetics. The latest discoveries and innovations from molecular biology, related to the conventional central dogma of molecular biology, generate the necessity of updating the genetic algorithms, although successfully applied in various complex tasks. In this direction, the research in Evolutionary Computation requires a reconsideration of the concepts and theories underlying the development of these popular optimization techniques. Since the emergence of the new features is important in the evolution, the DNA code requires progress. Evolutionary Computation which is based on the mutation and the natural selection can be reconsidered in terms of protein synthesis and reverse transcription. From the computational perspective, a biological phenomenon might be interpreted in various forms in order to obtain reliable computational techniques.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121799588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This formalism was initially introduced by Cardelli as a \"strand algebra\" for DNA computing. For such a language we study and relate new formal semantic models. The mathematical framework is given by complete metric spaces in which the Banach fixed point theorem is used, various semantic functions are defined as fixed points of appropriate higher-order mappings. We define a new denotational semantics and compare it with the operational semantics introduced by Cardelli. We establish the formal relation between the operational and the denotational semantics by using an abstraction operator and a fixed point argument. In this way we establish the correctness of the denotational semantics with respect to the operational semantics.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to properly design and deploy multi-cloud applications (i.e., Applications deployed on multiple clouds) allows exploiting the peculiarities of each cloud solution and hence optimizing the performance and cost of the applications. However, this is hindered by the large heterogeneity of the existing cloud offerings. In this work, we present the model-driven methodology and tools developed within the MODA Clouds European project to support the design of multi-cloud applications. In particular, the proposed framework promotes a model driven approach to help reducing vendor \"lock-in\", support multi-cloud deployments, and provide solutions for estimating and optimizing the performance of multi-cloud applications at design-time.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132019584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an effort to increase their performance, this paper presents a study of Genetic Algorithms with very high mutation rates (≈ 95%) . A comparison is drawn, relative to the low-probability (≈ 1%) mutation GA, on two large classes of problems: numerical functions (well-known test functions such as Rosenbrock's, Six-Hump Camel Back) and bit-block functions (e.g. Royal Road, Trap Functions). A large number of experimental runs combined with parameter variation provide statistical significance for the comparison. The high-probability mutation is found to perform well on most tested functions, outperforming low-probability mutation on some of them. These results are then explained in terms of dynamic dual encoding and selection pressure reduction, and placed in the context of the No Free Lunch theorem.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121935556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Heuristic-Based Approach for Reducing the Power Consumption of Real-Time Embedded Systems 一种基于启发式的实时嵌入式系统功耗降低方法

While a lot of research has been done on minimizing the total energy of a system, adapting the scheduling techniques for lower energy consumption has been less popular. Nevertheless, this can prove highly efficient, as the Central Processing Units (CPUs) are usually responsible for the largest part of the whole system's energy consumption. This paper presents an approach on improving the energy consumption of a real-time system. Starting with a given feasible schedule for a non-preemptive, single-instance, n-task set, power saving is achieved by reducing the CPU frequency whenever possible, without breaking the task deadlines. The goal can be described in analytical terms as a multivariate optimization problem. Due to the complexity of the resulting problem, the use of heuristic techniques provides good chances for finding the desired optimum. To the best of our knowledge, the use of these methods for the power-aware scheduling problem has not been attempted.","PeriodicalId":150575,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124488479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
