From the whole process, the endmember identification or target detection is usually one of the most time-consuming stages, so high-performance computing (HPC) platforms such as multicore processors, graphics processing units (GPUs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are necessary and essential for its exploitation in time-critical scenarios.

Optimization strategies were applied in terms of parallelism and efficiency in the use of hardware resources on a Stratix 10 SX 2800 FPGA, resulting in a significant performance improvement.

Furthermore, when integrated with other locality-based measures, it enhances the cohesion of a unified model. This model is employed to identify influential nodes within complex networks. Empirical evaluations of Susceptible–Infected–Recovered (SIR) propagation dynamics across ten authentic networks demonstrate that our proposed unified model operates within polynomial time and surpasses numerous traditional methods in terms of accuracy.

Standard sorting algorithms are ill-suited as they do not account for uncertainties associated with each agent’s estimate. Furthermore, the cognitive load on agents can be demanding, especially if the number of alternatives to evaluate is large. Building on the Quicksort algorithm and the Bradley–Terry model, we develop four new, efficient aggregation protocols based on agent-assigned win probabilities of pairwise comparisons that are then globally aggregated.

Though CBO methods offer significant benefits, extending CBO to high-dimensional input and output spaces has been less explored. The limited scalability and accuracy of multi-output Gaussian process (GP) models makes them less attractive for engineering design problems. Standard neural network-based models provide an alternative, but require the implementation of expensive and complex uncertainty quantification methods to enable CBO. As such, this paper develops Bayesian optimization using non-intrusive reduced-order models (ROMBO), a framework for high-dimensional CBO using deep learning reduced-order models. The framework utilizes autoencoders to create a nonlinear embedding of the output space that is modeled using a multi-task GP model. A Monte Carlo expected improvement acquisition function is used to balance exploration of the design space and exploitation of the composite objective function. The proposed framework is characterized using three synthetic problems and an inverse design problem for a transonic airfoil. It is compared with a standard BO implementation and a CBO implementation that generates an embedding of the outputs using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The results demonstrate that the ROMBO framework can achieve up to one to four orders of magnitude lower objective function values as compared to the other two methods. Additionally, ROMBO is more sample efficient than the other two methods, achieving far lower objective function values in fewer sampling iterations.
