Dynamic access task scheduling of LEO constellation based on space-based distributed computing

A dynamic multi-beam resource allocation algorithm for large low Earth orbit(LEO)constellation based on on-board distributed computing is proposed in this paper.The allocation is a combinatorial optimization process under a series of complex constraints,which is important for enhancing the matching between resources and requirements.A complex algorithm is not available because that the LEO on-board resources is limi-ted.The proposed genetic algorithm(GA)based on two-dimen-sional individual model and uncorrelated single paternal inheri-tance method is designed to support distributed computation to enhance the feasibility of on-board application.A distributed system composed of eight embedded devices is built to verify the algorithm.A typical scenario is built in the system to evalu-ate the resource allocation process,algorithm mathematical model,trigger strategy,and distributed computation architec-ture.According to the simulation and measurement results,the proposed algorithm can provide an allocation result for more than 1500 tasks in 14 s and the success rate is more than 91%in a typical scene.The response time is decreased by 40%com-pared with the conditional GA.

A Public Blockchain Consensus Mechanism for Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computing in LEO Satellite Communications

In LEO(Low Earth Orbit)satellite communication systems,the satellite network is made up of a large number of satellites,the dynamically changing network environment affects the results of distributed computing.In order to improve the fault tolerance rate,a novel public blockchain consensus mechanism that applies a distributed computing architecture in a public network is proposed.Redundant calculation of blockchain ensures the credibility of the results;and the transactions with calculation results of a task are stored distributed in sequence in Directed Acyclic Graphs(DAG).The transactions issued by nodes are connected to form a net.The net can quickly provide node reputation evaluation that does not rely on third parties.Simulations show that our proposed blockchain has the following advantages:1.The task processing speed of the blockchain can be close to that of the fastest node in the entire blockchain;2.When the tasks’arrival time intervals and demanded working nodes(WNs)meet certain conditions,the network can tolerate more than 50%of malicious devices;3.No matter the number of nodes in the blockchain is increased or reduced,the network can keep robustness by adjusting the task’s arrival time interval and demanded WNs.

A Distributed Computing Framework Based on Lightweight Variance Reduction Method to Accelerate Machine Learning Training on Blockchain

To security support large-scale intelligent applications,distributed machine learning based on blockchain is an intuitive solution scheme.However,the distributed machine learning is difficult to train due to that the corresponding optimization solver algorithms converge slowly,which highly demand on computing and memory resources.To overcome the challenges,we propose a distributed computing framework for L-BFGS optimization algorithm based on variance reduction method,which is a lightweight,few additional cost and parallelized scheme for the model training process.To validate the claims,we have conducted several experiments on multiple classical datasets.Results show that our proposed computing framework can steadily accelerate the training process of solver in either local mode or distributed mode.

Wireless distributed computing for cyclostationary feature detection

Recently, wireless distributed computing （WDC） concept has emerged promising manifolds improvements to current wireless technotogies. Despite the various expected benefits of this concept, significant drawbacks were addressed in the open literature. One of WDC key challenges is the impact of wireless channel quality on the load of distributed computations.

Today we witness the exponential growth of scientific research. This fast growth is possible thanks to the rapid development of computing systems since its first days in 1947 and the invention of transistor till the present days with high performance and scalable distributed computing systems.

Survey of Distributed Computing Frameworks for Supporting Big Data Analysis

Distributed computing frameworks are the fundamental component of distributed computing systems.They provide an essential way to support the efficient processing of big data on clusters or cloud.The size of big data increases at a pace that is faster than the increase in the big data processing capacity of clusters.Thus,distributed computing frameworks based on the MapReduce computing model are not adequate to support big data analysis tasks which often require running complex analytical algorithms on extremely big data sets in terabytes.In performing such tasks,these frameworks face three challenges:computational inefficiency due to high I/O and communication costs,non-scalability to big data due to memory limit,and limited analytical algorithms because many serial algorithms cannot be implemented in the MapReduce programming model.New distributed computing frameworks need to be developed to conquer these challenges.In this paper,we review MapReduce-type distributed computing frameworks that are currently used in handling big data and discuss their problems when conducting big data analysis.In addition,we present a non-MapReduce distributed computing framework that has the potential to overcome big data analysis challenges.

L_(1)-Smooth SVM with Distributed Adaptive Proximal Stochastic Gradient Descent with Momentum for Fast Brain Tumor Detection

Brain tumors come in various types,each with distinct characteristics and treatment approaches,making manual detection a time-consuming and potentially ambiguous process.Brain tumor detection is a valuable tool for gaining a deeper understanding of tumors and improving treatment outcomes.Machine learning models have become key players in automating brain tumor detection.Gradient descent methods are the mainstream algorithms for solving machine learning models.In this paper,we propose a novel distributed proximal stochastic gradient descent approach to solve the L_(1)-Smooth Support Vector Machine(SVM)classifier for brain tumor detection.Firstly,the smooth hinge loss is introduced to be used as the loss function of SVM.It avoids the issue of nondifferentiability at the zero point encountered by the traditional hinge loss function during gradient descent optimization.Secondly,the L_(1) regularization method is employed to sparsify features and enhance the robustness of the model.Finally,adaptive proximal stochastic gradient descent(PGD)with momentum,and distributed adaptive PGDwithmomentum(DPGD)are proposed and applied to the L_(1)-Smooth SVM.Distributed computing is crucial in large-scale data analysis,with its value manifested in extending algorithms to distributed clusters,thus enabling more efficient processing ofmassive amounts of data.The DPGD algorithm leverages Spark,enabling full utilization of the computer’s multi-core resources.Due to its sparsity induced by L_(1) regularization on parameters,it exhibits significantly accelerated convergence speed.From the perspective of loss reduction,DPGD converges faster than PGD.The experimental results show that adaptive PGD withmomentumand its variants have achieved cutting-edge accuracy and efficiency in brain tumor detection.Frompre-trained models,both the PGD andDPGD outperform other models,boasting an accuracy of 95.21%.

Data Utilization-Based Adaptive Data Management Method for Distributed Storage System in WAN Environment

Recently,research on a distributed storage system that efficiently manages a large amount of data has been actively conducted following data production and demand increase.Physical expansion limits exist for traditional standalone storage systems,such as I/O and file system capacity.However,the existing distributed storage system does not consider where data is consumed and is more focused on data dissemination and optimizing the lookup cost of data location.And this leads to system performance degradation due to low locality occurring in a Wide Area Network(WAN)environment with high network latency.This problem hinders deploying distributed storage systems to multiple data centers over WAN.It lowers the scalability of distributed storage systems to accommodate data storage needs.This paper proposes a method for distributing data in a WAN environment considering network latency and data locality to solve this problem and increase overall system performance.The proposed distributed storage method monitors data utilization and locality to classify data temperature as hot,warm,and cold.With assigned data temperature,the proposed algorithm adaptively selects the appropriate data center and places data accordingly to overcome the excess latency from the WAN environment,leading to overall system performance degradation.This paper also conducts simulations to evaluate the proposed and existing distributed storage methods.The result shows that our proposed method reduced latency by 38%compared to the existing method.Therefore,the proposed method in this paper can be used in large-scale distributed storage systems over a WAN environment to improve latency and performance compared to existing methods,such as consistent hashing.

Person re-identification has been a hot research issues in the field of computer vision.In recent years,with the maturity of the theory,a large number of excellent methods have been proposed.However,large-scale data sets and huge networks make training a time-consuming process.At the same time,the parameters and their values generated during the training process also take up a lot of computer resources.Therefore,we apply distributed cloud computing method to perform person re-identification task.Using distributed data storage method,pedestrian data sets and parameters are stored in cloud nodes.To speed up operational efficiency and increase fault tolerance,we add data redundancy mechanism to copy and store data blocks to different nodes,and we propose a hash loop optimization algorithm to optimize the data distribution process.Moreover,we assign different layers of the re-identification network to different nodes to complete the training in the way of model parallelism.By comparing and analyzing the accuracy and operation speed of the distributed model on the video-based dataset MARS,the results show that our distributed model has a faster training speed.

Protein-protein interactions are of great significance for human to understand the functional mechanisms of proteins.With the rapid development of high-throughput genomic technologies,massive protein-protein interaction(PPI)data have been generated,making it very difficult to analyze them efficiently.To address this problem,this paper presents a distributed framework by reimplementing one of state-of-the-art algorithms,i.e.,CoFex,using MapReduce.To do so,an in-depth analysis of its limitations is conducted from the perspectives of efficiency and memory consumption when applying it for large-scale PPI data analysis and prediction.Respective solutions are then devised to overcome these limitations.In particular,we adopt a novel tree-based data structure to reduce the heavy memory consumption caused by the huge sequence information of proteins.After that,its procedure is modified by following the MapReduce framework to take the prediction task distributively.A series of extensive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the performance of our framework in terms of both efficiency and accuracy.Experimental results well demonstrate that the proposed framework can considerably improve its computational efficiency by more than two orders of magnitude while retaining the same high accuracy.

Systematic Cloud-Based Optimization: Twin-Fold Moth Flame Algorithm for VM Deployment and Load-Balancing

Cloud computing has gained significant recognition due to its ability to provide a broad range of online services and applications.Nevertheless,existing commercial cloud computing models demonstrate an appropriate design by concentrating computational assets,such as preservation and server infrastructure,in a limited number of large-scale worldwide data facilities.Optimizing the deployment of virtual machines(VMs)is crucial in this scenario to ensure system dependability,performance,and minimal latency.A significant barrier in the present scenario is the load distribution,particularly when striving for improved energy consumption in a hypothetical grid computing framework.This design employs load-balancing techniques to allocate different user workloads across several virtual machines.To address this challenge,we propose using the twin-fold moth flame technique,which serves as a very effective optimization technique.Developers intentionally designed the twin-fold moth flame method to consider various restrictions,including energy efficiency,lifespan analysis,and resource expenditures.It provides a thorough approach to evaluating total costs in the cloud computing environment.When assessing the efficacy of our suggested strategy,the study will analyze significant metrics such as energy efficiency,lifespan analysis,and resource expenditures.This investigation aims to enhance cloud computing techniques by developing a new optimization algorithm that considers multiple factors for effective virtual machine placement and load balancing.The proposed work demonstrates notable improvements of 12.15%,10.68%,8.70%,13.29%,18.46%,and 33.39%for 40 count data of nodes using the artificial bee colony-bat algorithm,ant colony optimization,crow search algorithm,krill herd,whale optimization genetic algorithm,and improved Lévy-based whale optimization algorithm,respectively.

A Distributed LRTCO Algorithm in Large-Scale DVE Multimedia Systems

In the large-scale Distributed Virtual Environment(DVE)multimedia systems,one of key challenges is to distributedly preserve causal order delivery of messages in real time.Most of the existing causal order control approaches with real-time constraints use vector time as causal control information which is closely coupled with system scales.As the scale expands,each message is attached a large amount of control information that introduces too much network transmission overhead to maintain the real-time causal order delivery.In this article,a novel Lightweight Real-Time Causal Order(LRTCO)algorithm is proposed for large-scale DVE multimedia systems.LRTCO predicts and compares the network transmission times of messages so as to select the proper causal control information of which the amount is dynamically adapted to the network latency variations and unconcerned with system scales.The control information in LRTCO is effective to preserve causal order delivery of messages and lightweight to maintain the real-time property of DVE systems.Experimental results demonstrate that LRTCO costs low transmission overhead and communication bandwidth,reduces causal order violations efficiently,and improves the scalability of DVE systems.
