Multi-core helper thread prefetching for irregular data intensive applications by Jian-xun ZHANG, Zhi-min GU, Xiao-han HU, Min CAI

“…For improving performance of memory access in sparse graph traversal algorithm, helper thread prefetching could convert discontinuous locality into continuous-instant spatial-temporal locality effectively by using the shared last level cache of chip multi-processor platforms. Betweenness centrality algorithm was used as a case study, the multi-parameter prefetching model of helper thread and optimized instances were presented and evaluated on commercial CMP platforms Q6600 and I7, the average speedup of betweenness centrality algorithm at different input scale is 1.20 and 1.11 respectively. …”

Scheme of virtual machine trusted migration in cloud environment by Jianbiao ZHANG, Yuanxi ZHU, Jun HU, Xiao WANG

“…With the rapid development of cloud computing,as an advantage of cloud services,virtual machine migration technology has been widely noticed and applied.However,there are some problems about VMs migration which should be solved,such as the complication of authentication of platform and the security issues of data transmission,etc.For these problems,firstly,the existing virtual machine migration scheme based on trusted computing technology was analyzed.Secondly,three secure needs that the virtual machine migration scheme which based on trusted computing technology should meet were proposed:the authenticated platform,confidentiality and integrity preserving transfer and atomicity of the vTPCM.Thirdly,a trusted migration scheme of virtual machines for cloud environment was proposed,in which the virtual machine central migration engine and trusted migration agent were introduced to solve the atomicity protection of vTPCM during the migration process.Finally,the concrete scheme was given with verification.…”
