Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are well provisioned to support the concurrent execution of thousands of threads. Unfortunately, diUerent bottlenecks during execution and heterogeneous application requirements create imbalances in utilization of resources in the cores. For example, when a GPU is bottlenecked by the available oU-chip memory bandwidth, its computational resources are ofte...

In this paper, we explore multilingual feature-level data sharing via Deep Neural Network (DNN) stacked bottleneck features. Given a set of available source languages, we apply language identification to pick the language most similar to the target language, for more efficient use of multilingual resources. Our experiments with IARPA-Babel languages show that bottleneck features trained on the ...

Traditionally, Grid users are forced to trust the Grid platforms, but the users are not always regarded as trustworthy. This trust asymmetry hinders the commercializing of Grid resources. Trusted Grid is proposed to tackle this challenge by leveraging Trusted Computing (TC). However, the TC relies on a microcontroller Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) which has limited computing power and is doome...

Semiconductor industry has tremendous development in recent decades. According to Moore’s Law [1], semiconductor wafer manufacturers have to search improvement opportunities constantly in order to be competitive. International technology roadmap for semiconductor [2] has indicated the possible scenarios for 450 mm wafer fabs, and the conveyor will be a potential solution to realize transportati...

1Over the past few years, several approaches to scheduling have been proposed that attempt to reduce tardiness and inventory costs by opportunistically (i.e. dynamically) combining resource-centered perspective to schedule bottleneck resources, and a job-centered perspective to schedule non-bottleneck operations on a job by job basis. Rather than relying on their initial bottleneck analysis, th...

Flight delays have been a growing issue and they have reached an all-time high in recent years, with the airlines’ on-time performance at its worst level in 2007 since 1995. The goal of this paper is to build stochastic models of airline networks and utilize publicly available data to answer the following policy questions: Which are the bottleneck airports in the US air-travel infrastructure? H...

Problem statement: As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion control becomes ever more important. And the link utilization is one of the important things in term of congestion avoidance and control mechanisms. And we can define the utilization as simply the throughput divided by the access rate. And also all the developments for the congestion control and avoid...

MRP (Material Requirement Planning) process generates a production plan which guarantees an exact quantity of right materials on needed time but it sometimes causes capacity problems in the shop floor because of its ignorance on capacity constraints. This paper presents a new planning method which involves the capacity planning during the MRP process. This planning method starts from generating...
