Stability optimization of dynamic migration algorithm for Post-Copy of virtual machine based on KVM by Shuangxi CHEN, Ruoyan ZHAO, Hui LIU, Chunming WU, Wei RUAN

“…The dynamic migration technology of virtual machine provides a strong support for the resource scheduling of virtualization system.As one of the two core algorithms of virtual machine dynamic migration, Post-Copy algorithm has been a hot issue for scholars at home and abroad for its advantages of stable migration time and short migration downtime.The fault tolerance mechanism of virtual machine, the connection between the transfer mode of memory page and the page missing error during the migration process, and the source code of QEMU-KVM platform were studied.A fault tolerant method based on transaction synchronization was proposed to improve the stability of the Post-Copy migration algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can ensure the fast repair of deep end virtual machine failure, target virtual machine failure and network fault during the migration process, and solve the stability problem at a small cost.The method proposed effectively improves the stability of the Post-Copy migration algorithm, and provides reference for the future optimization research direction.…”

Modeling of Particle Trajectory and Erosion of Large Rotor Blades by Adel Ghenaiet

“…The governing equations of particle dynamics through the moving of large rotor blades are introduced and solved separately from the flow field by using our in-house particle tracking code based on the finite element method. As the locations of impacts are predicted, the erosion is assessed by semiempirical correlations in terms of impact conditions and particle and target surface characteristics. …”

Dose coefficients for ICRP pediatric mesh-type reference computational phantoms under idealized external electron exposures by Chansoo Choi, Bangho Shin, Sungho Moon, Yeon Soo Yeom, Chan Hyeong Kim, Wesley E. Bolch

“…In the present study, a comprehensive dataset of dose coefficients for idealized external electron exposures has been established using the newly released ICRP-156 pediatric mesh-type reference computational phantoms (MRCPs) in conjunction with the Geant4 Monte Carlo radiation transport code. The dataset comprises organ/tissue-averaged absorbed dose coefficients for the 29 target organs and tissues which contribute to the effective dose, as well as effective dose coefficients, spanning three idealized, unidirectional, whole body irradiation geometries—antero-posterior (AP), postero-anterior (PA), and isotropic (ISO)—across 49 discrete electron energies from 10 keV to 10 GeV. …”
