Additionally, JLRAs exhibit inferior cold-start performance, and frequent deletion and creation of application instances to adjust resource allocation results in performance degradation. Furthermore, harvesting redundant resources by deploying best-effort (BE) batch jobs alongside JLRAs encounters serious challenges due to contention for shared CPU resources. Therefore, we present ChaosRM, a bi-level resource management framework for JVM workload co-location to enhance resource utilization efficiency while eliminating resource contention. In contrast to the conventional approach of isolating JLRAs and batch jobs on non-overlapping CPU sets, ChaosRM proposes a tri-zone CPU isolation mechanism, utilizing two CPU zones to isolate JLRAs and batch jobs, and an shared region for concurrently executing their threads. An application-wide, learning-based Application Manager adjusts the instance states of JLRAs based on the global workload and adaptively learns the shared zone allocation strategy and the performance target represented by thread queuing time; the Node Manager on each server heuristically binds CPU sets to JLRAs and dynamically schedules batch jobs among CPU zones according to this performance target and the JLRA instance states. Experimental results show that, while guaranteeing the SLOs of JLRAs, ChaosRM reduces the completion time of batch jobs by up to 14.10% over the best-performing baseline and up to 54.29% over all baselines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55132,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Computer Systems-The International Journal of Escience","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 108387"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146033294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spectrum coordination is challenging due to high vehicle traffic, intensive communication environments and diversified service requirements. These are of particular significance in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications, where adaptive conditions call out powerful solutions. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) techniques are promising and have been applied to the management of dynamic spectrum access, but with limitations including overestimated value functions, unsteady policy convergence, and dependence on manual choices of rewards, these techniques have limitations as far as their application in practice. This paper presents a new framework of spectrum management IRL-D3QN, which combines Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) and a Dueling Double Deep Q-Network (D3QN). This algorithm involves a prediction network of rewards on determining intrinsic motivation according to its interplay with environments, eliminating the necessity of a danger of designing rewards manually. This enhances generalization in various situations. The dueling network design contributes to learning that is more stable because it keeps the values of state and values of the action apart. In the meantime, the bias of overestimation is minimized in the case of double q-learning. It has been demonstrated through simulations that IRL-D3QN can support a higher Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) transmission rate by 7.94 percent and demonstrate significantly less performance degradation under heavy communication loads than state of the art RL algorithms. Therefore, it will provide a solution to the distribution of dynamic spectrum, which will be scalable and self-sufficient in the next generation of vehicular communication systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55132,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Computer Systems-The International Journal of Escience","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 108371"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145957070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AFMIS multiplier statically divides the input mantissas into several segments and performs exact multiplication on the selected segments. This approach eliminates the need for a costly leading-one detector (LOD) circuit. The static segmentation and limited segment count in the proposed design reduce the number of required post-multiplication shift values. With only a few possible shifts, a simple multiplexer can replace a full shifter. This substitution improves speed compared with that of dynamic segmentation approaches. The proposed structure allows for adjustable accuracy levels by modifying the number of bits in each segment, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. To evaluate the efficiency of the AFMIS multiplier, its hardware parameters are compared to those of an exact FP multiplier and several other approximate FP multipliers. The comparison is performed using Synopsys Design Compiler in a 7 nm technology. The results show that the proposed multiplier achieves a mean relative error distance (MRED) of 0.27% to 18.6% while improving delay, area, and power consumption by up to 81.7%, 98%, and 99%, respectively, compared to the exact FP multiplier. Furthermore, the AFMIS multiplier outperforms other approximate FP multipliers in terms of speed, area, and energy consumption at similar accuracy levels. The utility of the AFMIS multiplier is demonstrated by its application in regression and classification tasks using neural networks (NNs) and JPEG compression. The results indicate that, in most cases, the output differences between the AFMIS multiplier and the exact multiplier are negligible.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55132,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Computer Systems-The International Journal of Escience","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 108377"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145995521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
