Experimental trade-offs between different strategies for multihop communications evaluated over real deployments of wireless sensor network for envir…
2018
Although much work has been done since wireless sensor networks appeared, there is not a great deal of information available on real deployments that incorporate basic features associated with these networks, in particular multihop routing and long lifetimes features. In this article, an environmental monitoring application (Internet of Things oriented) is described, where temperature and relative humidity samples are taken by each mote at a rate of 2 samples/min and sent to a sink using multihop routing. Our goal is to analyse the different strategies to gather the information from the different motes in this context. The trade-offs between ‘sending always’ and ‘buffering locally’ approac…
Energy Efficient Optimization for Computation Offloading in Fog Computing System
2017
In this paper, we investigate the energy efficient computation offloading scheme in a multi-user fog computing system. We consider the users need to make the decision on whether to offload the tasks to the fog node nearby, based on the energy consumption and delay constraint. In particular, we utilize queuing theory to bring a thorough study on the energy consumption and execution delay of the offloading process. Two queuing models are applied respectively to model the execution processes at the mobile device (MD) and fog node. Based on the theoretical analysis, an energy efficient optimization problem is formulated with the objective to minimize the energy consumption subjects to execution…
Migration process of the PEPPOL network from the AS2 to the AS4 protocol according to the European guidelines
2020
The PEPPOL network (PAN-European Public Procurement Online) is migrating from the AS2 to the AS4 protocol according to the guidelines established by the eDelivery platform of the CEF program (Connecting Europe Facility) of the European Commission. This article describes the bases of this migration process, the current status and the next necessary actions for the year 2020. The main objective is to present the analysis of results on the evolution and impact of the adoption of the AS4 protocol by the PEPPOL Access Points in all Europe until 2019.
A Sequential Game Approach for Computation-Offloading in an UAV Network
2017
International audience; Small drones are currently emerging as versatile nascent technology that can be used in exploration and surveillance missions. However, most of the underlying applications require very often complex and time-consuming calculations. Although, the limited resources available onboard the small drones, their mobility, the computation delays and energy consumption make the operation of these applications very challenging. Nevertheless, computation-offloading solutions provide feasible resolves to mitigate the issues facing these constrained devices. In this context, we address in this paper the problem of offloading highly intensive computation tasks, performed by a fleet…
On the Use of a GPU-Accelerated Mobile Device Processor for Sound Source Localization
2017
Abstract The growing interest to incorporate new features into mobile devices has increased the number of signal processing applications running over processors designed for mobile computing. A challenging signal processing field is acoustic source localization, which is attractive for applications such as automatic camera steering systems, human-machine interfaces, video gaming or audio surveillance. In this context, the emergence of systems-on-chip (SoC) that contain a small graphics accelerator (or GPU), contributes a notable increment of the computational capacity while partially retaining the appealing low-power consumption of embedded systems. This is the case, for example, of the Sam…
5G IoT system for real-time psycho-acoustic soundscape monitoring in smart cities
2020
In Next-Generation Technologies, the monitoring of environmental noise nuisance in the Smart City should be as efficient as possible. 5G IoT systems offer a great opportunity to offload the node calculation, as they provide a number of new concepts for dynamic computing that previous technologies did not offer. In this case, a complete 5G IoT system for psycho-acoustic monitoring has been implemented using different options to offload the calculation of the parameters to different parts of the system. This offloading has been implemented by directly computing the metrics in the node (as a Raspberry Pi), and in a ESP32 device (FiPy) and by sampling the audio and sending it to the EDGE in the…
FeatherCNN: Fast Inference Computation with TensorGEMM on ARM Architectures
2020
Deep Learning is ubiquitous in a wide field of applications ranging from research to industry. In comparison to time-consuming iterative training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), inference is a relatively lightweight operation making it amenable to execution on mobile devices. Nevertheless, lower latency and higher computation efficiency are crucial to allow for complex models and prolonged battery life. Addressing the aforementioned challenges, we propose FeatherCNN – a fast inference library for ARM CPUs – targeting the performance ceiling of mobile devices. FeatherCNN employs three key techniques: 1) A highly efficient TensorGEMM (generalized matrix multiplication) routine is app…
Bit-parallel approximate pattern matching: Kepler GPU versus Xeon Phi
2016
Advanced SIMD features on GPUs and Xeon Phis promote efficient long pattern search.A tiled approach to accelerating the Wu-Manber algorithm on GPUs has been proposed.Both the GPU and Xeon Phi yield two orders-of-magnitude speedup over one CPU core.The GPU-based version with tiling runs up to 2.9 × faster than the Xeon Phi version. Approximate pattern matching (APM) targets to find the occurrences of a pattern inside a subject text allowing a limited number of errors. It has been widely used in many application areas such as bioinformatics and information retrieval. Bit-parallel APM takes advantage of the intrinsic parallelism of bitwise operations inside a machine word. This approach typica…
SWMapper: Scalable Read Mapper on SunWay TaihuLight
2020
With the rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, high throughput sequencing platforms continuously produce large amounts of short read DNA data at low cost. Read mapping is a performance-critical task, being one of the first stages required for many different types of NGS analysis pipelines. We present SWMapper — a scalable and efficient read mapper for the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer. A number of optimization techniques are proposed to achieve high performance on its heterogeneous architecture which are centered around a memory-efficient succinct hash index data structure including seed filtration, duplicate removal, dynamic scheduling, asynchronous data tra…
Hpdm : A Hybrid Pseudonym Distribution Method for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
2016
Abstract Protecting the location privacy of drivers is still one of the main challenges in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). The changing of pseudonym is commonly accepted as a solution to this problem. The pseudonyms represent fake vehicle identifiers. Roadside Units (RSUs) play a central role in the existing pseudonyms distribution solutions. Indeed, the VANET area should totally be covered by RSUs in order to satisfy the demand of vehicles in terms of pseudonyms. However, the total coverage is costly and hard to be achieved, especially in the first phase of VANETs deployment. In addition, RSUs could be overloaded due to the large number of pseudonyms requests that could be received fro…
