EdgeTuner: Fast Scheduling Algorithm Tuning for Dynamic Edge-Cloud Workloads and Resources

Edge-cloud jobs are rapidly prevailing in many application domains, posing the challenge of using both resource-strenuous edge devices and elastic cloud resources. Efficient resource allocation on such jobs via scheduling algorithms is essential to guarantee their performance, e.g. latency. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is increasingly...

Study on Reverse Recovery of a P-pillar Tunable Super-Junction MOSFET*

In this paper, a novel bubble-shift super junction (SJ) MOSFET structure is proposed, and its main static electrical parameters and reverse recovery characteristics are simulated by TCAD software tool. By designing the P-pillar ion implantation windows with a certain offset, the bubble-shift SJ-MOSFET contains a curved pillar region in the upper...

A TCAD Simulation Study on the Short-circuit Performance of 650V P-pillar Offset Super-junction MOSFET

The limitation of Silicon based power MOSFET was broken by the super-junction (SJ) structure, which can provide lower specific on-resistance and higher breakdown voltage compared with the conventional power MOSFET structure. Multi-epitaxial and multi-ion-implant technology, as a mature manufacturing process of the SJ structure, has been widely...

Committee III.2: Fatigue and Fracture

Concern for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation and tearing in the ship and offshore structures. Due attention shall be paid to the suitability and uncertainty of physical models and testing. Consideration is to be given to practical application, statistical description and fracture control...

An integrated operational system to reduce O&M cost of offshore wind farms

Offshore wind is a relatively new industry and it is generally more expensive to generate electricity than many alternative renewable sources. Operation & Maintenance (O&M) makes up a significant part of the overall cost of running Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT). Since the O&M associated responsibility is shared among turbine...

Study on route division for ship energy efficiency optimization based on big environment data

In the case of the global energy crisis and the higher sound of energy saving and emission reduction, how to take effective management measures of ship energy efficiency to achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, put forward a new challenge for the development of shipping technology. The application of big data technology...

Rope Caging and Grasping

We present a novel method for caging grasps in this paper by stretching ropes on the surface of a 3D object. Both topology and shape of a model to be grasped has been<br/>considered in our approach. Our algorithm can guarantee generating local minimal rings on every topological branches of a given model with the help of a Reeb graph. Cages and...

Improving moving jam detection performance with V2I communication

Intrinsic self-healing of polymer solid while keeping integrity and load-bearing capability

Generally, intrinsic self-healing polymers based on reversible covalent bonds scission and reconnection would lose their load bearing capability as a result of molecular cleavage during healing process. This shortcoming also results in creep deformation of the products. To solve the problem, we introduce a novel healing mechanism by using...
