To address the problems of storage capacity and performance when executing data-intensive applications, we design and implement a light-weight distributed file system middleware, namely virtual file system for cloud storage, which allows other storage-level services to be easily incorporated into an integrated framework in a plug-in manner. In the proposed middleware, we implement three effective mechanisms: disk caching, file striping, and metadata management. The implementation of the proposed middleware has been deployed in a realistic cloud platform, and its performance has been thoroughly investigated under various workloads. Experimental results show that it can significantly improve I/O performance compared with existing approaches. In addition, it also exhibits better robustness when the cloud system is facing intensive workloads.","PeriodicalId":47380,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87470098","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}

First, we provide a framework for evaluating learning performance, working-memory, and emotions during learning. Second, we apply these tools to investigate the modality effect computationally focusing on text in contrast to multimedia. This study is based on a dataset that we have collected through a human experiment involving 16 participants.

The former can cause the well-known cold start problem while the latter complicates the recommendation task by detecting these unreasonable or biased ratings. In this paper, we treat the spam ratings as 'corruptions' which spatially distribute in a sparse pattern and model them with a L1 norm and a L2,1 norm. We show that these models can characterise the property of the original ratings by removing spam ratings and help to resolve the cold start problem. Furthermore, we propose a group-reputation-based method to re-weight the rating matrix and an iterative programming-based technique for optimising the ranking for online recommendation. We show that our optimisation methods outperform other recommendation approaches. Experimental results on four famous datasets reveal the superior performances of our methods.","PeriodicalId":47380,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88022619","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}

F. da Silva, Luis Gustavo Araujo Rodriguez, João Fabrício Filho","doi":"10.1504/ijcse.2019.10026142","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1504/ijcse.2019.10026142","url":null,"abstract":"Graph colouring is a complex computational problem that focuses on colouring all vertices of a given graph using a minimum number of colours. However, adjacent vertices are restricted from receiving the same colour. Over recent decades, various algorithms have been proposed and implemented to solve such a problem. An interesting algorithm is the hybrid colouring algorithm, which was developed in 1999 by Galinier and Hao. The hybrid colouring algorithm was widely regarded at the time as one of the best performing algorithms for graph colouring. Nowadays, high-performance out-of-order multi-cores have emerged; consequently, executing applications faster and efficiently. Thus, the objective of this paper is to analyse whether the hybrid colouring algorithm can take advantage of multi-core architectures, in terms of performance, or not. For this purpose, we propose and implement a parallel version of the hybrid colouring algorithm that takes advantage of all hardware resources. Several experiments were performed on a machine with two Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 processors, thus having a total of 24 cores. The experiment proved that the parallel hybrid colouring algorithm, using multi-core architectures, is a significant improvement over the original because it achieves enhancements of up to 40% in terms of the distance to the best chromatic number found in the literature. The expected contribution of this paper is to encourage developers to take advantage of high performance out-of-order multi-cores to solve complex computational problems.","PeriodicalId":47380,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90926828","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}
