A programmer's time would primarily be spent on thinking about the algorithms and data structures, not on implementing them. To a degree, that used to be the case in the era of frequency scaling on a single core. However, due to power limitations, parallel programming has become necessary to obtain performance gains. But parallel architectures differ substantially from each other, often require specialized knowledge, and typically necessitate reimplementation and fine tuning of application code. These slow tasks frequently result in situations where most of the time is spent reimplementing old rather than writing new code. The goal of our research is to find new programming techniques that increase productivity, maintain high performance, and provide abstraction to free the programmer from these unnecessary and time-consuming tasks. However, such techniques usually come at the cost of substantial performance degradation. This paper investigates current approaches to portable accelerator programming, seeking to answer whether they make it possible to combine high efficiency with sufficient algorithm abstraction. It discusses OpenCL as a potential solution and presents three approaches of writing portable code: GPU-centric, CPU-centric and combined. By applying the three approaches to a real-world program, we show that it is at least sometimes possible to run exactly the same code on many different devices with minimal performance degradation using parameterization. The main contributions of this paper are an extensive review of the current state-of-the-art regarding the stated problem and our original approach of addressing this problem with a generalized excessive-parallelism approach.","PeriodicalId":160979,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117120325","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}

Existing methods are difficult to solve the problem because they do not make full use of temporal price differences. This paper introduces a dynamic virtual resource renting method that attempts to dynamically adjust the virtual resource rental strategy according to price distribution and task urgency. We first pretreat the historical price series and adopt the outlier detection technique to filter the extreme price. Then, considering task urgency and price distribution, we design a weak equilibrium operator to calculate the acceptable price for each type of virtual resource. All types of virtual resources that are at an acceptable price are inserted into a set. Finally, we design a novel rental decision-making algorithm to select the most profitable resource from the set. We provide an extensive evaluation of our method using Amazon EC2 spot price dataset and normally distributed price dataset. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.","PeriodicalId":160979,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"391 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131865879","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}

Riding this trend, recent research community envisions a novel information retrieving and information-sharing platform, which views the users with mobile devices and being willing to accept crowd sourcing tasks as crowd sensors. With the neat idea, a set of crowd sensors applications have emerged. Among the applications, the geospatial information systems based on crowd sensors show significant potentials beyond traditional ones by providing real time geospatial information. In the applications, user positioning is of great importance. However, existing positioning techniques have their own disadvantages. In this paper, we study using pervasive Wi-Fi access point as a position indicator. The major challenge for using Wi-Fi access point is that there is no mechanism for mapping observed Wi-Fi signals to human-defined places. To this end, our idea is to employ crowd sourcing model to perform place name annotations by mobile participants to bridge the gap between signals and human-defined places. In this paper, we propose schemes for effectively enabling based-based place name annotation, and conduct real trials with recruited participants to study the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. The experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes over existing solutions.","PeriodicalId":160979,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126470362","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}
