Achieving fair service with a hybrid scheduling scheme for CICQ switches

Providing performance guarantees for arriving traffic flows has become an important measure for today’s routing and switching systems. However, none of current scheduling algorithms built on CICQ (combined input and cross-point buffered) switches can provide flow level performance guarantees. Aiming at meeting this requirement, the feasibility of implementing flow level scheduling is discussed thoroughly. Then, based on the discussion, it comes up with a hybrid and stratified fair scheduling (HSFS) scheme, which is hierarchical and hybrid, for CICQ switches. With HSFS, each input port and output port can schedule variable length packets independently with a complexity of O(1). Theoretical analysis show that HSFS can provide delay bound, service rate and fair performance guarantees without speedup. Finally, we implement HSFS in SPES (switch performance evaluation system) to verify the analytical results.     

Protection switching schemes and mapping strategies for fail-operational hard real-time NoCs

Communication infrastructures designed for mixed-critical MPSoCs must provide isolation of traffic, hard real-time guarantees, and fault-tolerance. In previous work, we proposed the combination of protection-switching with a hybrid Time-Division-Multiplexed (TDM) and packet-switched Network-on-Chip (NoC) to achieve all three goals. In this paper, we present an FPGA implementation of such a NoC with all its features. We give synthesis results for the hybrid NoC, including the network interface, and show that our router uses over 32% fewer LUTs and registers than a competitive state-of-the-art router for mixed-critical MPSoC. We then explore different channel and task mapping strategies for critical applications which use protection switching and evaluate the effect these mappings have on the best-effort (BE) traffic in the system. Results show, that spreading out the critical traffic rather than naively dividing the system in critical and non-critical application domains is advantageous or even necessary in many cases and can allow for up to 13% more BE traffic. We give a comprehensive trade-off analysis of three protection switching schemes—1:n, 1:1, and 1+1—and show that 1+1 protection has less than half the worst case latency for critical traffic that 1:n and 1:1 protection have. At the same time, 1+1 protection, on average, only causes a 1.18% earlier saturation rate for BE traffic, which we consider to be affordable. We conclude that 1+1 protection is ideally suited for use in mixed-critical systems with high safety requirements.     

Contrast‐enhanced wide‐angle high‐speed polarization modulator for active‐retarder 3‐D displays

Abstract— A contrast‐enhanced wide‐angle high‐speed polarization modulator for active‐retarder 3‐D displays is proposed. By using a double liquid‐crystal‐cell structure together with a dedicated driving scheme and an external quarter‐wave retarder, a high‐performance modulator can be realized, resulting in minimized brightness loss and low cross‐talk levels in fast‐refresh time‐multiplexed 3‐D displays.

SOME PROPERTIES OF THE MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATOR IN THE SIMULTANEOUS SWITCHING AUTOREGRESSIVE MODEL

Abstract. The simultaneous switching autoregressive (SSAR) model proposed by Kunitomo and Sato (A non-linearity in economic time series and disequilibrium econometric models. In Theory and Application of Mathematical Statistics (ed. A. Takemura). Tokyo:University of Tokyo Press (in Japanese), 1994; Asymmetry in economic time series and simultaneous switching autoregressive model. Struct. Change Econ. Dyn. , forthcoming (1994).) is a Markovian non-linear time series model. We investigate the finite sample as well as the asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator and the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. Due to a specific simultaneity involved in the SSAR model, the least squares estimator is badly biased. However, the ML estimator under the assumption of Gaussian disturbances gives reasonable estimates.

Retaining and attracting users in social networking services: An empirical investigation of cyber migration

Users are the most critical strategic resource of any online social networking service (SNS). This paper offers strategic recommendations for SNS providers based on an empirical study exploring why users switch from a primary SNS to others. We first identify important characteristics that combine to distinguish SNSs from conventional information systems, then develop a “cyber migration” research model that includes push, pull and mooring factors which influence user intention to switch from one SNS to another. Findings from a field survey of 180 users reveal four significant factors that promote switching: dissatisfaction with socialization support, dissatisfaction with entertainment value, continuity cost, and peer influence. Strategies grounded in these factors are suggested for SNS providers to better attract and retain users.
