Abstract Spark, a distributed computing platform, has rapidly developed in the field of big data. Its in-memory computing feature reduces disk read overhead and shortens data processing time, making it have broad application prospects in large-scale computing applications such as machine learning and image processing. However, the performance of the Spark platform still needs to be improved. When a large number of tasks are processed simultaneously, Spark’s cache replacement mechanism cannot identify high-value data partitions, resulting in memory resources not being fully utilized and affecting the performance of the Spark platform. To address the problem that… More >

Abstract The serpentine tube liquid cooling and composite PCM coupled cooling thermal management system is designed for 18650 cylindrical power batteries, with the maximum temperature and temperature difference of the power pack within the optimal temperature operating range as the target. The initial analysis of the battery pack at a 5C discharge rate, the influence of the single cell to cooling tube distance, the number of cooling tubes, inlet coolant temperature, the coolant flow rate, and other factors on the heat dissipation performance of the battery pack, initially determined a reasonable value for each design parameter.

Abstract In recent years, with the development of processor architecture, heterogeneous processors including Center processing unit (CPU) and Graphics processing unit (GPU) have become the mainstream. However, due to the differences of heterogeneous core, the heterogeneous system is now facing many problems that need to be solved. In order to solve these problems, this paper try to focus on the utilization and efficiency of heterogeneous core and design some reasonable resource scheduling strategies. To improve the performance of the system, this paper proposes a combination strategy for a single task and a multi-task scheduling strategy for… More >

Abstract The performance optimization of the triangular-tube phase change heat accumulator is carried out from three aspects. The first is to compare with three different types tubes: the traditional round tube, the square tube, and the elliptical tube. Results show that equilateral triangle tube has the best heat storage and release characteristics. The second is to study the sub-cavity heat accumulator model based on multiphase change materials on the basis of the triangular tube. The third is to study the turn-over triangular tube heat accumulator. Both the flip function through discrete point fitting and the best More >

Abstract In order to explore the impact of different structural design parameters and environmental factors on the performance of the hydrostatic guide rail, the flow field inside its oil chamber is simulated, which provides direction and guidance for the design and optimization of the guide rail system. Based on the theory of fluid lubrication and the Reynolds equation, numerical simulations are performed through a mathematical model. The results suggest that the bearing capacity of the oil film increases with the oil supply pressure. The film thickness and the film stiffness share a positive correlation. Different oil More >

Abstract The Global-Regional Integrated forecast System (GRIST) is the nextgeneration weather and climate integrated model dynamic framework developed by Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In this paper, we present several changes made to the global nonhydrostatic dynamical (GND) core, which is part of the ongoing prototype of GRIST. The changes leveraging MPI and PnetCDF techniques were targeted at the parallelization and performance optimization to the original serial GND core. Meanwhile, some sophisticated data structures and interfaces were designed to adjust flexibly the size of boundary and halo domains according to the variable accuracy in parallel context. More >

Abstract As a main distributed computing system, Spark has been used to solve problems with more and more complex tasks. However, the native scheduling strategy of Spark assumes it works on a homogenized cluster, which is not so effective when it comes to heterogeneous cluster. The aim of this study is looking for a more effective strategy to schedule tasks and adding it to the source code of Spark. After investigating Spark scheduling principles and mechanisms, we developed a stratifying algorithm and a node scheduling algorithm is proposed in this paper to optimize the native scheduling More >

Abstract This paper describes a scheme to improve efficiency of multi-agent simulation system (MAS) on single computer that has multiple processor cores. Simulation technology is applied for broad usage in the world, and MAS gathers attention from the fields that treat complicated and non-numeric issues such as traffic analysis, analyzing evacuation from a building, and defense training. Since the requirements of simulation scale and fidelity are growing, the importance of their performance is also increasing. However, CPU clock speedup is slowing, and improvement of computer performance has come to depend on the number of processors, cores,… More >
