三种软硬件划分算法的比较分析

软硬件划分是嵌入式系统软硬件协同设计中的关键技术之一,如何兼顾系统的性能和成本,达到两者的最佳结合,是软硬件划分的主要问题.针对单CPU多ASICs类型的目标结构,选取了遗传算法、禁忌搜索算法和模拟退火算法等全局优化算法进行系统的软硬件划分,并对3种算法的有效性进行了比较分析.     

基于改进0-1动态规划的软硬件划分算法研究*

软硬件划分已被证明是NP完全问题,大多数研究主要集中在寻找各种快速的近似算法,常见的有爬山法、遗传算法、模拟退火、禁忌搜索等.这些算法大多只能处理小规模问题,而且是单纯从算法角度来研究软硬件划分问题,并没有考虑系统成本.以软硬件协同函数库为统一抽象模型,将系统执行时间、系统成本以及硬件面积等因素融入到0-1动态规划算法...     

多选择软硬件划分问题的计算模型与动态规划算法

软硬件划分是软硬件协同设计的关键环节,划分的结果直接影响目标系统的设计质量。因此,对于一个给定的应用程序,为了使得目标系统快速执行且成本低廉,合理的划分策略十分重要。由于单个任务具有多种不同的硬件实现方式,与传统的单一硬件实现方式的软硬件划分问题相比,多选择的软硬件划分更能客观地反映现实应用。这导致问题的求解更具挑战性,它们已被证明是NP完全问题。基于多核处理器片上系统并针对任务图为二叉树的应用,建立了多选择软硬件划分问题的计算模型,并提出了解决该问题的动态规划算法。实验结果表明,当问题规模适中时,所提动态规划算法能够有效地获得精确解,并展示了算法的计算能力与硬件面积限制之间的关系。     

基于遗传和禁忌搜索混合的软硬件划分算法

针对嵌入式系统软硬件划分问题,在比较了遗传算法（GA）和禁忌搜索（TS）各自优缺点的基础上,提出采用遗传/禁忌混合算法（GATS）的策略,用遗传算法提供并行搜索的主框架,用禁忌搜索作为遗传算法的变异算子,遗传算法中变异过程解空间的搜索由禁忌搜索实现。实验结果表明,GATS具有多出发点和记忆功能强、爬山能力强的优势,能够克服GA爬山能力差、TS单点出发的弱点。最后与单纯的遗传算法和禁忌搜索算法进行对比实验,证明GATS更有优势,得到的划分结果也更优秀。     

基于改进遗传与模拟退火融合的RISP软硬件划分

软硬件划分是可重构指令集处理器在软硬件协同设计中的关键问题,通过对比遗传算法和经典模拟退火算法的优缺点,提出改进遗传算法的适应度函数,同时将Tsallis接受准则引入到经典模拟退火当中;其思路是用遗传算法的结果来制约模拟退火算法产生的随机状态,然后由模拟退火的接受准则以及产生的随机状态函数对遗传算法的种群进行更新,从而找到全局近似最优解;实验结果证明,改进算法与单一遗传算法以及经典模拟退火算法相比,其收敛速度和适应度更好,找到全局近似最优解的概率更大。     

遗传和模拟退火融合的软硬件划分

针对嵌入式系统软硬件划分问题,在比较了遗传算法（GA）和模拟退火（SA）各自优缺点的基础上,提出了采用遗传/模拟退火混合算法（GASA）的策略。该算法的核心思想是将模拟退火算法嵌入到遗传算法中,利用遗传优化算法的结果来制约模拟退火的随机状态产生,然后根据模拟退火算法的接受准则和随机状态产生函数来更新遗传算法的种群,从而最终得到最优解。与单纯的遗传算法和模拟退火算法进行对比实验,实验结果表明,GASA更有优势,得到的划分结果也更优秀。     

基于改进模拟退火算法的软硬件划分

软硬件划分是嵌入式系统协同设计中的关键问题,已经被证明是一个NP问题。模拟退火算法是解决该问题常用的启发式算法,但是其存在收敛速度过慢的问题。通过改进算法的扰动模型和退火进度,提出一种新的代价函数计算方法来提高它的收敛速度。实验结果表明,相对于基于经典的模拟退火算法和已有改进的算法,新算法运行时间大大减少,并且增大了找到近似最优解的概率。     

分布式交互应用中服务器放置问题的启发式算法

分布式交互应用是允许分散在不同地点的多个参与者能实时进行交互的网络系统,它的交互质量在很大程度上取决于网络延迟,而通过对服务器位置的合理布局可以降低网络延迟。因此,服务器放置是影响分布式交互应用的交互性能的关键因素。针对分布式交互应用中服务器放置问题,提出了模拟退火算法和禁忌搜索算法,并与已有的遗传算法进行了比较。通过实验可以看出,尽管在求得较好解的速度方面,遗传算法占据优势,但在求得解的质量方面,提出的模拟退火算法和禁忌搜索算法均优于遗传算法,在服务器数量相同的条件下,延迟平均降低了15.5%和15.2%,更加有效地提高了交互质量。     

高效软硬件划分算法及其提升技术

软硬件划分是软硬件协同设计的关键环节,它决定系统中哪些组件由软件实现,哪些由硬件实现。软硬件划分问题已被证明是NP完全问题。将一类软硬件划分问题看作变异的0-1背包问题,在求解背包问题的算法基础上构造出软硬件划分问题的优质启发解。此外,采用禁忌搜索(Tabu Search)算法对求得的启发解进行改进,在软件开销和通信开销满足一定约束的条件下,使得硬件开销尽可能小。实验结果证明,所提算法对当前最新算法的改进最大可达到28%。     

基于组合算法的嵌入式系统软硬件划分方法

嵌入式系统软硬件划分是一个多约束条件、多目标的组合优化问题,单一算法难以找到最优设计方案,为此,提出一种遗传算法和粒子群算法组合的嵌入式系统软硬件划分方法。首先建立嵌入式系统软硬件划分问题的数学模型,然后利用遗传算法找到问题的可行解,最后采用粒子群算法找到最优方案,并采用仿真实验测试算法的性能。仿真结果表明,该方法提高了嵌入式系统软硬件划分问题的求解效率,可以快速找到更优的软硬件划分方案。

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.     

The Distributed Time-Triggered Simulation Scheme: Core Principles and Supporting Execution Engine

Distributed real-time simulation is a young technology field but its practice is under increasing demands. In recent years the author and his collaborators have been establishing a new approach called the distributed time-triggered simulation (DTS) scheme which is conceptually simple and easy to use but widely applicable. The concept was initiated in the course of developing a new-generation object-oriented real-time programming scheme called the time-triggered message-triggered object (TMO) programming scheme. Some fundamental issues inherent in distributed real-time simulation that were learned during recent experimental studies are discussed along with some approaches for resolving the issues. An execution engine developed to support both the TMOs engaged in control computation and the TMOs engaged in DTS is also discussed along with its possible extensions that will enable significantly larger-scale DTSs.
