Robust Redundancy Scheme for the Repair Process: Hierarchical Codes in the Bandwidth-Limited Systems

High performance computing can be well supported by the Grid or cloud computing systems. However, these systems have to overcome the failure risks, where data is stored in the “unreliable” storage nodes that can leave the system at any moment and the nodes’ network bandwidth is limited. In this case, the basic way to assure data reliability is to add redundancy using either replication or erasure codes. As compared to replication, erasure codes are more space efficient. Erasure codes break data into blocks, encode these blocks and distribute them into different storage nodes. When storage nodes permanently or temporarily abandon the system, new redundant blocks must be created to guarantee the data reliability, which is referred to as repair. Later when the churn nodes rejoin the system, the blocks stored in these nodes can reintegrate the data group to enhance the data reliability. For “classical” erasure codes, generating a new block requires to transmit a number of k blocks over the network, which brings lots of repair traffic, high computation complexity and high failure probability for the repair process. Then a near-optimal erasure code named Hierarchical Codes, has been proposed that can significantly reduce the repair traffic by reducing the number of nodes participating in the repair process, which is referred to as the repair degree d. To overcome the complexity of reintegration and provide an adaptive reliability for Hierarchical Codes, we refine two concepts called location and relocation, and then propose an integrated maintenance scheme for the repair process. Our experiments show that Hierarchical Code is the most robust redundancy scheme for the repair process as compared to other famous coding schemes.

中医正骨复位手法信息采集系统的设计

研究中医正骨复位手法,建立虚拟信息系统,但是由于手法的使用形式繁多,实施操作方法经验性强,对操作的技巧性和力度大小要求非常高等原因,使得正骨技术在临床中的应用不易推广,影响着中医正骨复位手法的的继承和发扬。针对上述原因,提出构建虚拟正骨手法复位信息采集系统,通过LabVIEW软件、角度传感器,信息采集卡等硬件设施有机的结合,把抽象的中医骨伤手法复位操作技术用角度、位移参数值具体、直观的表示出来,并以波形图表的形式显示。为初学者认识和学习正骨手法提供了生动形象的教材,改进了传统的教学模式、教学手段和教学方法,进一步促进虚拟技术在中医正骨中的应用。

Direct fourier reconstruction in fan-beam tomography

We consider the problem of reconstructing tomographic imagery from fan-beam projections using the direct Fourier method (DFM). Previous DFM reconstructions from parallel-beam projections produced images of quality comparable to that of filtered convolution back-projection. Moreover, the number of operations using DFM in the parallel-beam case is proportional to N2 log N versus N3 for back projection [3]. The fan-beam case is more complicated because additional interpolation of the nonuniformly spaced rebinned data is required. We derive bounds on the detector spacing in fan-beam CT that enable direct Fourier reconstruction and describe the full algorithm necessary for processing the fan-beam data. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated with an example. A key result of this paper is that high-quality imagery can be reconstructed from fan-beam data using the DFM in 0 (N2 log N) operations.
