基于交织预取率的帮助线程预取质量调节算法

预执行帮助线程在预取过程中需要进行动态预取调节,而传统静态枚举控制参数值的控制方法在预取执行过程中保持固定不变,从而使得该方法不能够有效地为主线程提供预取质量保证(quality of service,Qo S)。针对该问题,提出了一种基于交织预取率的帮助线程预取质量参数调节方法。首先,对帮助线程的预取Qo S优化进行了建模分析;其次,在前期交织预取工作的基础上,提出了基于交织预取率的帮助线程参数值调节算法;最后,在真实的商用多核平台上对所提出帮助线程预取调节算法进行了评测和分析。实验结果是所提出的帮助线程预取调节算法使得基准测试程序的几何平均性能加速比为1. 114,而传统静态枚举方法的几何平均性能加速比为1. 135。实验结果表明,所提出的帮助线程预取质量调节算法解决了帮助线程预取过程中的参数值自动调节问题,算法无须静态枚举参数值便可以快速获得与之相近似的预取性能提升。

基于缓存行为特征的线程数据预取距离控制策略

针对目前大多数面向指针应用程序的线程数据预取方法在预取距离控制方面的不足,该文提出一种基于缓存行为特征的数据预取距离控制策略。该策略利用指针应用程序执行时的数据缓存特征构建预取距离控制模型,以避免共享缓存污染,降低系统资源竞争,并通过忽略对部分非循环依赖数据预取平衡帮助线程与主线程间的执行任务,提高线程数据预取的时效性。实验结果表明,通过该策略控制线程数据预取距离能进一步提高线程预取性能。

Selective ensemble modeling based on nonlinear frequency spectral feature extraction for predicting load parameter in ball mills

Strong mechanical vibration and acoustical signals of grinding process contain useful information related to load parameters in ball mills. It is a challenge to extract latent features and construct soft sensor model with high dimensional frequency spectra of these signals. This paper aims to develop a selective ensemble modeling approach based on nonlinear latent frequency spectral feature extraction for accurate measurement of material to ball volume ratio. Latent features are first extracted from different vibrations and acoustic spectral segments by kernel partial least squares. Algorithms of bootstrap and least squares support vector machines are employed to produce candidate sub-models using these latent features as inputs. Ensemble sub-models are selected based on genetic algorithm optimization toolbox. Partial least squares regression is used to combine these sub-models to eliminate collinearity among their prediction outputs. Results indicate that the proposed modeling approach has better prediction performance than previous ones.

Short-term Earthquake Prediction in the Sichuan-Yunnan Region Using the Method of Modulated Earthquakes

By scanning modulated or un-modulated earthquakes spatio-temporally in the region of Sichuan-Yunnan,short-term non-stationary seismic precursory patterns were extracted with significant difference and the characteristic of non-stationary short-term seismic anomalies were analyzed as well as prediction efficiency of modulated small earthquakes before a strong earthquake. Besides,small earthquake modulation ratios near the region of the epicenter were calculated and sorted by time. The results indicated that there were significant effects using the modulated earthquake method to predict earthquakes greater than MS6. 0 in a short time. Before the MS8. 0 Wenchuan earthquake,there were obvious short-term precursory seismicity gap patterns of modulated small earthquakes.
