Selection is a well-studied problem that has numerous applications in the management of data and databases since, typically, any complex data query can be reduced to a series of basic operations such as sorting and selection. The parallel selection has also become an important fundamental operation, especially after parallel databases were introduced. In this paper, we present a deterministic algorithm <i>Recursive Sampling Selection (RSS)</i> to solve the exact out-of-core selection problem, which we show needs no more than (2 + <i>ε</i>) passes (<i>ε</i> being a very small fraction). We have compared our <i>RSS</i> algorithm with two other algorithms in the literature, namely, the <i>Deterministic Sampling Selection</i> and <i>QuickSelect</i> on the Parallel Disks Systems. Our analysis shows that <i>DSS</i> is a (2 + <i>ε</i>)-pass algorithm when the total number of input elements <i>N</i> is a polynomial in the memory size <i>M</i> (i.e., <i>N</i> = <i>M<sup>c</sup></i> for some constant <i>c</i>). While, our proposed algorithm <i>RSS</i> runs in (2 + <i>ε</i>) passes without any assumptions. Experimental results indicate that both <i>RSS</i> and <i>DSS</i> outperform <i>QuickSelect</i> on the Parallel Disks Systems. Especially, the proposed algorithm <i>RSS</i> is more scalable and robust to handle big data when the input size is far greater than the core memory size, including the case of <i>N</i> ≫ <i>M<sup>c</sup></i> .</p>","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Here, a rate 4/5 convolutional encoder generates one of 32 possible symbols every T seconds. Then the signal mapping for 32 symbols is performed by a M-ary 4-D orthogonal modulator. The M-ary 4-D modulator employs the vectors which is derived by the optimization technique of signal waveforms in a 4-D sphere. The technique is used in maximizing the minimum Euclidean distance between a set of signal points on a multidimensional sphere. After combining coding with M-ary 4-D modulation, we have obtained a considerable improvement in the free minimum distance of the system. The new system achieves asymptotic coding gains up to 6.4 dB over the uncoded two-independent QPSK scheme and 3.4 dB over the two-independent 2-D TCM scheme.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Redundant hardware is used to improve fault tolerance rather than throughput. We introduce a scheme for combined hardware-software fault tolerance derived from NMR and NVP that shows how redundancy can also be used to improve throughput by grouping the execution of several tasks. Our scheme uses a dynamic task allocation algorithm with an optimistic execution policy where the number of task executions is kept close to the minimum required to produce fault-free results. For equivalent hardware and software resources, the proposed method is 50% to 100% more efficient in terms of throughput and latency.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Growing interest in this area has gained impetus from the widespread proliferation of advanced workstations and digital signal processors. Examples include realtime hardware for video effects among others. The central benefit of separable algorithms is the reduction in complexity of one dimensional resampling algorithms. When the input is restricted to be one-dimensional, efficient solutions are made possible for the image reconstruction and antialiasing components of resampling. Fant (1986) presented such a solution that is well suited for hardware implementation. Fant's algorithm, however, is inherently serial. We present an alternative but equivalent (in the sense of producing exactly the same output scan lines) algorithm, that is parallel. The new algorithm was inspired by Wolberg's algorithm (1990). The new algorithm adds some overhead to the hardware implementation of Fant's algorithm to be able to achieve parallelism.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The impact measure developed originally at Bellcore that is the basis for the new T1A1 measure of network performance is described. We assumed a useful impact measure must: (a) appropriately order a set of outages by the severity of the outages, and (b) allow for meaningful comparisons of network performance on a yearly or quarterly basis. Comparisons of the new impact measure to some standard measures of reliability illustrate that the new measure provides a significant improvement in the ability to assess the severity of individual outages, and the performance of the network over a given time period. Also provided are examples consistent with network performance which illustrate that the new impact measure is more consistent with the actual assessment of the network performance than other proposed measures of reliability.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Because of the characteristics of ATM networks and nature of LAN traffic, there is a need for effective congestion control strategies to be developed in order to maintain the network utilization and throughput at optimum levels. We describe and report the simulation results of a novel congestion control strategy based on the principles of fuzzy logic control for the management of ABR traffic in ATM LANs. We propose that fuzzy logic control is an effective scheme for designing congestion control mechanisms in ATM LANs. Our simulations show that, proposed fuzzy backward congestion notification (FBCN) method is effective in minimizing cell losses at the switch queues and prevents time consuming packet retransmissions which can dramatically degrade the network throughput.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol, called fast reservation multiple access (FRMA), which is suitable for a folded bus high-speed MANs and LANs. Its main feature is a sample and fast reservation technique that allow stations to reserve transmission slots. The goal of the reservation is to maximize the throughput of the system and to ensure fairness among the attached stations. A complete description of the FRMA protocol and the associated nodes are given. Then, we show the performance of FRMA as a function of its throughput, mean delays, and fairness using simulation results. Our protocol is shown to achieve high throughput and small transmission delays while preserving the fairness of the whole network. Thus, the FRMA protocol seem to be an appropriate choice for future generation high-speed MANs and LANs.","PeriodicalId":90699,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
