In this paper, a new approach for powder cold compaction simulations is presented. A density-dependent plastic model within
the framework of finite strain multiplicative hyperelastoplasticity is used to describe the highly nonlinear material behaviour;
the Coulomb dry friction model is used to capture friction effects at die-powder contact; and an Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian
(ALE) formulation is used to avoid the (usual) excessive distortion of Lagrangian meshes caused by large mass fluxes. Several
representative examples, involving structured and unstructured meshes are simulated. The results obtained agree with the experimental
data and other numerical results reported in the literature. It is shown that, contrary to other Lagrangian and adaptive h-remeshing approaches recently reported for this type of problems, the present approach verifies the mass conservation principle
with very low relative errors (less than 1% in all ALE examples and exactly in the pure Lagrangian examples). Moreover, thanks
to the use of an ALE formulation and in contrast with other simulations, the presented density distributions do not present
spurious oscillations.

This paper concerns the following problem: given a set of multi-attribute records, a fixed number of buckets and a two-disk system, arrange the records into the buckets and then store the buckets between the disks in such a way that, over all possible orthogonal range queries (ORQs), the disk access concurrency is maximized. We shall adopt the multiple key hashing (MKH) method for arranging records into buckets and use the disk modulo (DM) allocation method for storing buckets onto disks. Since the DM allocation method has been shown to be superior to any other allocation methods for allocating an MKH file onto a two-disk system for answering ORQs, the real issue is knowing how to determine an optimal way for organizing the records into buckets based upon the MKH concept.
A performance formula that can be used to evaluate the average response time, over all possible ORQs, of an MKH file in a two-disk system using the DM allocation method is first presented. Based upon this formula, it is shown that our design problem is related to a notoriously difficult problem, namely the Prime Number Problem. Then a performance lower bound and an efficient algorithm for designing optimal MKH files in certain cases are presented. It is pointed out that in some cases the optimal MKH file for ORQs in a two-disk system using the DM allocation method is identical to the optimal MKH file for ORQs in a single-disk system and the optimal average response time in a two-disk system is slightly greater than one half of that in a single-disk system. 相似文献
The challenge of saturating all phases of pervasive service provision with context-aware functionality lies in coping with
the complexity of maintaining, retrieving and distributing context information. To efficiently represent and query context
information a sophisticated modelling scheme should exist. To distribute and synchronise context knowledge in various context
repositories across a multitude of administrative domains, streamlined mechanisms are needed. This paper elaborates on an
innovative context management framework that has been designed to cope with free-text and location based context retrieval
and efficient context consistency control. The proposed framework has been incorporated in a multi-functional pervasive services
platform, while most of the mechanisms it employs have been empirically evaluated. 相似文献
Consider the problem of efficiently simulating the shared-memory parallel random access machine (PRAM) model on massively parallel architectures with physically distributed memory. To prevent network congestion and memory bank contention, it may be advantageous to hash the shared memory address space. The decision on whether or not to use hashing depends on (1) the communication latency in the network and (2) the locality of memory accesses in the algorithm.We relate this decision directly to algorithmic issues by studying the complexity of hashing in the Block PRAM model of Aggarwal, Chandra, and Snir, a shared-memory model of parallel computation which accounts for communication locality. For this model, we exhibit a universal family of hash functions having optimal locality. The complexity of applying these hash functions to the shared address space of the Block PRAM (i.e., by permuting data elements) is asymptotically equivalent to the complexity of performing a square matrix transpose, and this result is best possible for all pairwise independent universal hash families. These complexity bounds provide theoretical evidence that hashing and randomized routing need not destroy communication locality, addressing an open question of Valiant.This work was started when the author was a student at Oxford University, supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship and a Rhodes Scholarship.

Abstract. Consider an AR(1) process given by X t=γ+ø X t+ Z t≥ 1. where 0 ≤γ, 0 ≤ø 1 are unknown parameters and the innovations Z t, ≥ 1, are independently and identically distributed positive random variables. We propose estimates of (γø) which are obtained as the solution to a linear programming problem and establish their strong consistency. When the Z ts have the exponential distribution. our estimate becomes the conditional maximum likelihood estimate given X 0. Under the assumption of regular variation of the innovation distribution at its left and right endpoints (assumed to be 0 and ∝ respectively), we establish asymptotic limit laws for the estimates. Consistent estimators for a class of moving-average processes with heavy-tailed innovation distribution are also presented. 相似文献
