Description and Packaging of MPI Applications for Automatic Deployment on Computational Grids

Computational grids promise to deliver a vast computer power as transparently as the electric power grid supplies electricity. Thus, applications need to be automatically and transparently deployed on grids, in particular MPI parallel applications. However, deploying such applications on a grid is complex: the user must select compute nodes manually, launch processes on distributed, heterogeneous nodes, and configure the MPI library so it can adapt to its grid environment. Our objective is to hide the complexity of application deployment on computational grids. This paper proposes a software architecture designed to automatically deploy MPI applications on a grid. It also introduces a description and packaging model of MPI applications. Finally, the paper shows how the MPI library can be automatically configured with network topology information to optimize collective operations. / L'un des objectifs des grilles de calcul est de fournir de la puissance informatique de maniere aussi transparente que le reseau de distribution de l'electricite fournit de la puissance electrique. Ainsi, les applications doivent se deployer sur les grilles de calcul automatiquement et de facon transparente, en particulier en ce qui concerne les applications paralleles MPI. Cependant, le deploiement de telles applications dans un environnement de grille est une tâche complexe : l'utilisateur doit selectionner manuellement les noeuds de calcul, lancer des processus sur des noeuds distribues et heterogenes, puis configurer la bibliotheque MPI pour qu'elle puisse s'adapter a son environnement d'execution. Notre objectif est de cacher la complexite du deploiement d'applications sur des grilles de calcul. Cet article propose une architecture logicielle concue pour deployer automatiquement des applications MPI sur des grilles. Il presente egalement un modele de description et de packaging d'applications MPI. Enfin, cet article montre comment la bibliotheque MPI peut etre automatiquement configuree, en y injectant la description de la topologie reseau, afin d'optimiser la performance des operations collectives MPI.
2015 Implementation of K-Nearest Neighbors Face Recognition on Low-power

2 Abstract Face recognition is one of early detection in security system. Automation encourages implementation of face recognition in small and compact devices. Most of face recognition research focused only on its accuracy and performed on high-speed computer. Face recognition that is implemented on low-cost processor, such as ARM processor, needs proper algorithm. Our research investigate K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm in recognizing face on ARM processor. This research sought best k-value to create proper face recognition with low-power processor. The proposed algorithm was tested on three datasets that were Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL), Yaleface and MUCT. OpenCV was chosen as main core image processing library, due to its high-speed. Proposed algorithm was implemented on ARM11 700MHz. 10-fold cross-validation showed that KNN face recognition detected 91.5% face with k=1. Overall experiment showed that proposed algorithm detected face on 2.66 s on ARM

Privacy-Aware Knowledge Discovery: Novel Applications and New Techniques

Covering research at the frontier of this field, Privacy-Aware Knowledge Discovery: Novel Applications and New Techniques presents state-of-the-art privacy-preserving data mining techniques for application domains, such as medicine and social networks, that face the increasing heterogeneity and complexity of new forms of data. Renowned authorities from prominent organizations not only cover well-established resultsthey also explore complex domains where privacy issues are generally clear and well defined, but the solutions are still preliminary and in continuous development. Divided into seven parts, the book provides in-depth coverage of the most novel reference scenarios for privacy-preserving techniques. The first part gives general techniques that can be applied to various applications discussed in the rest of the book. The second section focuses on the sanitization of network traces and privacy in data stream mining. After the third part on privacy in spatio-temporal data mining and mobility data analysis, the book examines time series analysis in the fourth section, explaining how a perturbation method and a segment-based method can tackle privacy issues of time series data. The fifth section on biomedical data addresses genomic data as well as the problem of privacy-aware information sharing of health data. In the sixth section on web applications, the book deals with query log mining and web recommender systems. The final part on social networks analyzes privacy issues related to the management of social network data under different perspectives. While several new results have recently occurred in the privacy, database, and data mining research communities, a uniform presentation of up-to-date techniques and applications is lacking. Filling this void, Privacy-Aware Knowledge Discovery presents novel algorithms, patterns, and models, along with a significant collection of open problems for future investigation.

Learning about user interface design through the use of user interface pattern languages : a thesis dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science at Massey University, New Zealand

ion, and particularly patterns that provided generalised descriptions for a group of patterns linked by an ‘is-a’ relationship caused varying degrees of difficulty for all three participants. A similar problem was identified by Koukouletsos et al. (2007) working with senior students comparing web usability patterns with usability guidelines. They found students had difficulty with patterns that represented two or more guidelines and suggest that the problem maybe that “compound patterns are close to the cognitive limitation of novice designers” (ibid, p179). Although Participants Two and Three are not novice UI designers, experience with using UI patterns was minimal and they both expressed the opinion that they found abstraction difficult. 10.4. 3 Implications for Teaching Although not an objective of this study, the researcher was a participant-observer and became actively involved in teaching the three participants. Working intensively oneto-one provided insights into potential problems that may influence student learning. The main omission seen in the participants’ UI-pattern models was lack of lower level detail in the models. This was similar in the students’ models. In part, this may be due Chapter 10: Study Three Pattern Guided UI Design 247 to the limited time. It also highlights that in a teaching context the need to provide time and encouragement so that students review their models for completeness and at some stage during the process remind them to consider modelling lower-level details. One observation the researcher made is not discussed above. The decision to introduce the participants to the modified form of the UI-pattern model in which selected arcs are labelled (Figure 10.5) appears to have made UI-pattern modelling more understandable. The three case study participants created more complete models than did the subjects of the pilot studies using the unmodified form. In the case studies compared to the pilot studies the participants did not requests as much help on how to selected patterns or on how to link them into the UI-pattern model. This observation suggests that the modified UI-pattern model will have a similar impact on models created by students using the updated structure.

ESTRATÉGIAS PARA MELHORIA DO DESEMPENHO DO ALGORITMO DE PROGRAMAÇÃO DE EXPRESSÃO GENÉTICA NA TAREFA DE REGRESSÃO SIMBÓLICA

A combination ball marker and stroke indicator device (10,20) has a first disc member (12,22) having a ground piercing pin (12b,22b) extending from a bottom face surface rotatably received through a pin receiving aperture (14a,24a) in a second disc member (14,24). Stroke indicating indicia (14b) are arranged on the top face surface of the second disc member and selectively alignable with a window (12a,22a) formed in the first disc member. A ground traction surface configuration (24e,24e',24e'') is preferably formed on the bottom face surface of the second disc member. An annular recess (22d) may be formed in one of the disc members, for example, in the bottom face surface of the second disc member, to provide clearance between the indicia on the second disc member and the facing surface of the first disc member.
Repairing Texts: Empirical Investigations of Machine Translation Post-Editing Processes

Machine translation has long been studied and analyzed in an attempt to better understand and enhance the process. What has been neglected, however, is the study of post-editing and the mental processes involved. In Repairing Texts, Hans P. Krings challenges the idea that, given the effectiveness of machine translation, major costs could be reduced by using monolingual staff to post -- edit translations. With the goal of discovering underlying trends and discovering potential hypotheses for further research, he sets different groups of translators to work post-editing texts both with and without the benefit of the source text. He offers up studies of machine translation systems and their uses, the current state of translation process research, and methodology, data collection, and data analysis. All who are involved in this expanding and important field will find this book to be an important contribution to ongoing research in the process of translation.

Borrowing the Essentials: A Diachronic Study of the Semantic Primes of Modern English

Borrowing the Essentials: A Diachronic Study of the Semantic Primes of Modern English Karen Swan Department of Linguistics and English Language, BYU Master of Arts In order for communication to take place, there must be a set of core concepts that are universal to all speakers. Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) has proposed an inventory of these concepts, called semantic primes, and uses them as universal concepts in the explication and exploration of cultural values. The English semantic primes, while the majority are Anglo‐Saxon, contain words that have been borrowed from Latin, Old Norse, and French. Borrowing lexical items into core vocabulary has many implications. First, the primes are not entirely stable or immune to foreign influence, even the Anglo‐Saxon primes have been susceptible to the processes of language change. Second, the primes do not reflect the trends of borrowing in English as a whole. And finally, because the primes are core vocabulary, this study opens up a new aspect of English as a mixed language.
Flipped classroom model and its implementation in a computer programming course

The flipped classroom approach provides implementation of a student-centered learning environment. By changing the traditional classroom lectures and homework elements of a course, it facilitates active learning and higher-order understanding. This paper presents initial experiments on a flipped classroom approach and its application in a programming course. The course results and evaluation show that this approach is rewarding, and why it deserves further investigation.
Modelling cognitive representations

This thesis analyzes the modelling of visual cognitive representations based on extracting cognitive components from the MNIST dataset of handwritten digits using simple unsupervised linear and non-linear matrix factorizations both non-negative and unconstrained based on gradient descent learning. We introduce two different classes of generative models for modelling the cognitive data: Mixture Models and Deep Network Models. Mixture models based on K-Means, Guassian and factor analyzer kernel functions are presented as simple generative models in a general framework. From simulations we analyze the generative properties of these models and show how they render insufficient to proper model the complex distribution of the visual cognitive data. Motivated by the introduction of deep belief nets by Hinton et al. [12] we propose a simpler generative deep network model based on cognitive components. A theoretical framework is presented as individual modules for building a generative hierarchical network model. We analyze the performance in terms of classification and generation of MNIST digits and show how our simplifications compared to Hinton et al. [12] leads to degraded performance. In this respect we outline the differences and conjecture obvious improvements.
The Raw Microprocessor: Enabling Embedded Signal Processing on a General Purpose Computer Architecture

The Raw microprocessor, under development at MIT’s Laboratory for Computer Science, is designed to address the problem of leveraging the growing number of on-chip resources as wire delay becomes substantial [1]. Toward this end, Raw implements a scalable ISA which exposes the physical resources of the chip to software. By exposing the chip-level gates, wires, and pins, Raw gains the energy and performance advantages of applicationspecific integrated circuits (ASICs), while maintaining the programmability of a general purpose processor, thus making it well suited for the demands of embedded signal processing.
