基于SRAM的通用存算一体架构平台在物联网中的应用

最近,存算一体(IMC)架构引起了广泛关注,并被认为有望成为突破冯诺依曼瓶颈的新型计算机架构,特别是在数据密集型(data-intensive)计算中能够带来显著的性能和功耗优势.其中,基于SRAM的IMC架构方案也被大量研究与应用.该文在一款基于SRAM的通用存算一体架构平台——DM-IMCA的基础上,探索IMC架构在物联网领域中的应用价值.具体来说,该文选取了物联网中包括信息安全、二值神经网络和图像处理在内的多个轻量级数据密集型应用,对算法进行分析或拆分,并将关键算法映射到DM-IMCA中的SRAM中,以达到加速应用计算的目的.实验结果显示,与基于传统冯诺依曼架构的基准系统相比,利用DM-IMCA来实现物联网中的轻量级计算密集型应用,可获得高达24倍的计算加速比.

Effects of non-thermal plasma treating wheat kernel on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour and the quality of fresh wet noodles

The effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour and the quality of fresh wet noodles ( FWN) were investigated. The results showed that NTP effectively decreased the total plate count (TPC), yeast and mould count (YMC) and Bacillus spp. in wheat flour. Wet gluten contents and the stability time reached the maximum when treated for 20 s. The viscosity of starch increased significantly after treatment due to the increased of damaged starch. The contents of secondary structure were altered to some extent, which was because that the ordered network structure of gluten protein broken. Furthermore, compared with the control, texture properties of FWN were enhanced significantly at 20 s, and the darkening rate of FWN was greatly inhibited due to the low polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity. Consequently, the most suitable treatment was 500 W for 20 s, providing a basis for the application of NTP in flour products.

Efficiency evaluation of healthcare services in China based on stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis and directional distance function

Evaluating the efficiency of healthcare services accurately can help in analyzing the rationality of inputs and outputs in such services. Considering the consistency and equity of assessment criteria, this study conducts the stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) with a directional distance function to evaluate the efficiency of healthcare services in 31 provincial administrative regions of mainland China, as observed in 2018. We use SMAA-DDF to explore all the projection directions to the efficient frontier instead of a certain projection direction. We measure the maximum and average efficiencies for each of the 31 provincial healthcare services. Our empirical findings show that only seven provinces achieve optimal healthcare service efficiency; the eastern area performed the best, followed by the central, western, and northeast areas. Furthermore, the path along the projection directions is provided to help inefficient provinces improve their efficiency and obtain the best possible positions.
