Evaluating MapReduce for seismic data processing using a practical application by Chang-hai ZHAO, Hai-hua YAN, Xiao-peng LIU, Deng XIONG, Xiao-hua SHI

“…Huge amounts of seismic data undergo complex iterative processing in the oil industry to get knowledge of the earth’s subsurface structure to detect where oil can be found and recovered.To evaluate the suitability of MapReduce for seismic processing algorithms,the algorithm design and implementation of Fresnel tomography on Hadoop MapReduce was described.Experiments demonstrate that MapReduce is approximately 3 times slower than MPI,and tuning the performance of MapReduce is really hard.To expand its applicability to high performance computing for oil industry,MapReduce should be improved in the flexibility and provide the opportunity to exploit fine-grained thread-level parallelism.Finally,research ideas to achieve these objectives were presented.…”

An architecture of database-based open resource service networking by Fenlin ZHOU, Xiaocong QIAN, Dongyu YUAN

“…The deep cloud-network integration hopes that the network side can provide fine-grained and on-demand customized services for cloud-side services, which poses a great challenge to existing IP bearer networks.To this end, an architecture of database-based open resource service networking was proposed.By abstracting the atomic service capabilities of the network and publishing services through a strongly consistent distributed key-value database, on-demand use of networking services at the cloud-side, joint cloud-network orchestration, and one point of business access could be achieved, which could flexibly meet the needs of cloud-network integration and achieve efficient carrying and refined services for diversified businesses.…”

SPRD:fast application repackaging detection approach in Android based on application’s UI and program dependency graph by Run WANG, Li’na WANG, Benxiao TANG, Lei ZHAO

“…A two stage detection approach which combine application’s UI and program code based on the observation that repackaging applications merely modify the structure of their user interface was proposed.Firstly,a fast hash similarity detection technique based on an abstracted representation of UI to identify the potential visual-similar repackaging applications was designed.Secondly,program dependency graph is used to represent as the feature of app to achieve fine-grained and precise code clone detection.A prototype system,SPRD,was implemented based on the proposed approach.Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves a good performance in both scalability and accuracy,and can be effectively applied in millions of applications and billions of code detection.…”

The relationship between college students’ Suicidal ideation and rejection sensitivity: a network analysis by Yang He, Tianqi Yang, Chunyan He, Yuanbei Zhang, Huilin Yang, Shen Huang, Jianjun Liu, Xihong Li, Tao Xu, Shengjun Wu

“…However, previous studies have always assessed the relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation as a whole based on total scores, which has obscured the fine-grained relationship between them. Objectives The present study aims to investigate the fine-grained relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation in college students based on network analysis, and to provide a theoretical basis for identifying potential targets for psychological intervention on suicidal ideation. …”
