Parallel optimization of three-dimensional wedge-shaped underwater acoustic propagation based on MPI+OpenMP hybrid programming model

The three-dimensional wedge-shaped underwater acoustic propagation model exists analytical solution, which provides verification for models like FOR3D propagation model under certain situation. However, the solving process of a three-dimensional complex underwater sound field problem is hindered by intensive computing and long calculation times. In this paper, we exploit a hybrid parallel programing model, such as MPI and OpenMP, to accelerate the computation, design various optimization methods to improve the overall performance, and then carry out the performance and optimization analysis on the Tianhe-2 platform. Experiments show that the optimized implementation of the three-dimensional wedge-shaped underwater acoustic propagation model achieves a 46.5 speedup compared to the original serial program, thereby illustrating a substantial performance improvement. We also carried out scalability tests and parallel optimization experiments for large-scale practical examples.

     

Performance of TZCD-MBOK watermarking scheme in T-DMB systems

Recently, watermarking based data transmission techniques using terrestrial digital TV signal have been proposed since they are also cost-free and can overcome the limitations of GPS. However, in the previous watermarking based methods, the detection accuracy is low and additional data rate is too low. Thus, we propose the throughput enhancement method by employing the TZCD-MBOK watermarking technique in T-DMB system. By applying the proposed scheme to T-DMB, it allows additional data transmission for disaster broadcasting and improves efficiency of data transmission in shadow region and indoor to mobile environment through watermarking spread code. From the simulation results, we confirm the proposed watermarking scheme affected on the existing T-DMB signal. Moreover, it was also confirmed that the system capacity increases as the power of additional watermarking signal rose. The results of the paper can be applied to wireless multimedia digital broadcasting systems.     

Power- and time-aware buffer cache management for real-time embedded databases

Due to the explosive increases of data from both the cyber and physical worlds, the demand for database support in embedded systems is increasing. Databases for embedded systems, or embedded databases, are expected to provide timely in situ data services under various resource constraints, such as limited energy. However, traditional buffer cache management schemes, in which the primary goal is to minimize the number of I/O operations, is problematic since they do not consider the constraints of modern embedded devices such as limited energy and distinctive underlying storage. In particular, due to asymmetric read/write characteristics of flash memory-based storage of modern embedded devices, minimum buffer cache misses neither coincide with minimum power consumption nor minimum I/O deadline misses. In this paper we propose a novel power- and time-aware buffer cache management scheme for embedded databases. A novel multi-dimensional feedback control architecture is proposed and the characteristics of underlying storage of modern embedded devices is exploited for the simultaneous support of the desired I/O power consumption and the I/O deadline miss ratio. We have shown through an extensive simulation that our approach satisfies both power and timing requirements in I/O operations under a variety of workloads while consuming significantly smaller buffer space than baseline approaches.     

Signal tracking method of GNSS receivers for spinning vehicles

A signal tracking method of GNSS receivers for spinning vehicles is proposed in order to eliminate the influence of spinning to the GNSS signal of a vehicle. In the proposed method, a rotation tracking loop is added into the carrier tracking loop of a conventional GNSS receiver. The proposed method was verified through computer simulations and an experiment for live GPS signals. The results show that the proposed method gives an accurate tracking performance.     

Minimal-drift heading measurement using a MEMS gyro for mobile robots: Fused with odometry

To achieve the goal of low-cost MEMS gyros for the precise self-localization of mobile robots, this paper presents a simple, yet effective method to minimize drifts on the heading angle by combining measurements from a gyro with measurements from wheel encoders (odometry). The main idea of the proposed approach is to estimate the accuracy of both sensors as a function of the actual maneuver being carried out, and then the output of both sensors are fused by the complementary filter taking into account the maneuvering conditions. The proposed method is applied to a mobile robot and the experimental data demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

深海带电插拔连接器力学特性分析

以水下7 000 m工况的深海带电插拔连接器为研究对象,旨在获得湿插拔连接器在深海双重高压下的受力特性和插拔过程中的动密封性能。介绍连接器的插头结构与压力补偿技术;推导压力补偿器工作容积的计算公式;运用Ansys Workbench建立插头内壳体组件与插孔组件的动密封有限元模型,对内壳体、压力平衡膜及内胆进行强度计算;分析由连接器插拔引起的平衡膜内外瞬时压差对膜的应力分布及变形情况;讨论密封件径向压缩量、密封接触面摩擦因数、插拔速度对插拔过程中动密封性能的影响。结果表明:插头插合时,平衡膜外表面应力基本不变,其变形减小;拔出时,平衡膜外表面的应力及变形都逐渐增大。密封件之间的接触压力受密封接触面过盈配合量的影响明显,增大过盈配合量可显著提高动密封区域的接触压力及密封性能,同时也会加剧密封件失效的可能性,密封接触面的摩擦因数、插拔速度对接触压力的影响则较小。
