Steady-state analysis of load balancing with Coxian-2 distributed service times

This paper studies load balancing for many-server (N servers) systems. Each server has a buffer of size b ? 1, and can have at most one job in service and b ? 1 jobs in the buffer. The service time of a job follows the Coxian-2 distribution. We focus on steady-state performance of load balancing policies in the heavy traffic regime such that the normalized load of system is λ = 1 ? N^?α for 0 < α < 0.5. We identify a set of policies that achieve asymptotic zero waiting. The set of policies include several classical policies such as join-the-shortest-queue (JSQ), join-the-idle-queue (JIQ), idle-one-first (I1F) and power-of-d-choices (Po d) with d = O(N^α log N). The proof of the main result is based on Stein's method and state space collapse. A key technical contribution of this paper is the iterative state space collapse approach that leads to a simple generator approximation when applying Stein's method.

二维拉格朗日和欧拉结合法在流处理器MASA上的实现与评测

现代半导体工艺技术的发展使得在单芯片上放置数百个运算单元成为可能,但是全局片上片外带宽受限。通用处理器体系结构不能较好地适应变化,仍然依靠全局片上结构,少量的运算单元。而流体系结构拥有大量的运算单元、鲜明的存储层次,使得在有限的片外带宽下,用高的本地带宽来满足大量运算单元的需求。首先介绍了原型MASA流体系结构,然后给出了爆轰流体力学中的二维拉格朗日和欧拉结合法(Ygx2)在流体系结构上实现的实例研究,最后用时钟精确的模拟器来评测应用的运行性能,结果表明Ygx2应用在500MHz的MASA上运行结果与1.6GHz的Iantium2的比较快近4倍,证实了流体系结构在高性能计算领域的极大潜力。

针对目前卫星导航接收机码环多径抑制技术在二进制偏移副载波类信号下鉴别曲线可能出现多个稳定跟踪位置,导致接收机存在伪距测量的系统性误差的问题,提出最优鉴别曲线设计技术,采用奇异值优化的最小二乘方法,设计无多余跟踪点的本地码相关参考波形。从多径误差包络和跟踪精度两方面,对基于最优鉴别曲线的二进制偏移副载波信号码相关参考波形的设计性能进行验证评估。仿真结果表明：该方法可实现二进制偏移副载波信号在有限接收带宽下的无模糊鉴别曲线设计。以前端带宽为8.184 MHz时的BOC(1,1)信号为例,设计的码相关参考波形相比W2波形,多径误差包络面积增加了61.8%,而跟踪精度提高了4~5 dB。     

内置频率对Duffing振子微弱二进制相移键控信号盲检测影响

采用Duffing振子实现对微弱二进制相移键控（Binary Phase Shift Keying, BPSK）信号的盲检测时,Duffing系统输出的周期态和混沌态转换之间存在过渡带。针对这一问题,推导出过渡带时长和Duffing系统内置频率之间的关系表达式;指出内置频率越高,过渡带时间越短;仿真实验给出时间频率响应曲线。内置频率的提高,会降低系统检测微弱信号的灵敏度。针对这一问题,推导出周期态下Duffing系统输出幅度作为因变量、内置频率作为自变量的表达式;仿真实验给出幅频响应曲线。针对微弱BPSK信号盲检测,建立变尺度方法和检测阵列相结合的基于S变换提取Duffing系统输出幅度包络的微弱BPSK信号盲检测模型,仿真实验验证了模型方法的有效性。     

Empirical Biases and Some Remedies in Estimating the Effects of Selective Reenlistment Bonuses on Reenlistment Rates

Researchers have, for decades, been attempting to estimate the effects of Selective Reenlistment Bonuses (SRBs) on the probability of reenlistment for the military services. SRBs are targeted to specific military occupations for which reenlistment rates are lower (or expected to be lower) than what is needed. This article first identifies four primary sources of biases affecting these models: reverse causality from supply shifts (a negative bias), the endogeneity of the decision point causing coded SRBs to be higher for reenlisters than leavers (a positive bias), measurement error (a likely negative bias), and excess supply preventing the full effect of an SRB change to materialize (a positive or negative bias). The report proceeds to develop a model that attempts to address the first two biases. With U.S. Navy data from FY2001-FY2008, I examine the extent to which these two biases are affecting the estimated SRB effects. Despite these corrections, the difficulty of addressing the other biases calls into doubt studies that examine the effects of retention bonuses or even the effects of the structure of military pay in general.
