As parallel processing hardware becomes more common and affordable, multiprocessors are being increasingly used to accelerate VLSI CAD algorithms. The problem of partitioning faults in a parallel test generation/ fault simulation (TG/FS) environment has received very little attention in the past. In a parallel TG/FS environment, the fault partitioning method used can have a significant impact o...

Postcopy migration is a mature technology in virtualization. However the performance of postcopy is not stable. We find many memory intensive loads having a high proportion of independent fixed-size data (FSD) cases. To improve migration performance, we present DP: an algorithm which applies to intelligently tackle FSD load during postcopy migration. We implement DP as an online algorithm trigg...

Grid computing enables sharing, selection and aggregation of large collection of geographically and organizationally distributed heterogeneous resources for solving large-scale data and compute intensive problems. Resources are dynamic and heterogeneous in nature. So the load of each resource varies with change in configuration of grid and also the occurrence of failure of resources is much gre...

Overhead transmission line is an element of electrical power systems that are most frequently experienced short circuit faults compared to other power system elements. Short circuit faults on overhead transmission line cause a relatively large current and therefore can damage mechanically the electrical equipment connected to the system. The protection system is essentially needed in this situa...

We analyze the effect of errors in branch predictors, a representative example of speculative processor subsystems, to motivate the necessity for fault tolerance in such subsystems. We also describe the design of fault tolerant branch predictors using general fault tolerance techniques. We then propose a fault-tolerant implementation that utilizes the Finite State Machine (FSM) structure of the...

In this paper we investigate further the performance of a fault tolerant load sharing replicated buffered banyan network switch design. We look at the effect increasing the Switch Element (SE) degree has on the performance of the system and propose a simple modification to the system to transmit priority traffic. These results highlight the excellent performance and flexibility that these load ...

This paper introduced the feature of distribution network and rough set theory. The application in power system was elaborated, such as on load forecasting, fault diagnosis, system-state analysis and data mining. Then given an illustration that using RS attribute reduction algorithm obtain the correlative factors in distribution system load forecasting. These factors were input vector of neural...
