Task Clustering

Scientific Workflow is a composition of both coarse-grained and fine-grained computational tasks displaying varying execution requirements. Large-scale data transfer is involved in scientific workflows, so efficient techniques are required to reduce the makespan of the workflow. Task clustering is an efficient technique used in such a scenario that involves combining multiple tasks with shorter execution time into a single cluster to be executed on a resource. This leads to a reduction of scheduling overheads in scientific workflows and thus improvement of performance. However available task clustering methods involve clustering the tasks horizontally without the consideration of the structure of tasks in a workflow. We propose hybrid balanced task clustering algorithm that uses the parameter of impact factor of workflows along with the structure of workflow. According to this technique, tasks can be considered for clustering either vertically or horizontally based on the value of the impact factor. This minimizes the system overheads and the makespan for execution of a workflow. A simulation based evaluation is performed on real workflows that shows the proposed algorithm is efficient in recommending clusters. It shows improvement of 5-10\% in makespan time of workflow depending on the type of workflow used.

Illumination Mode

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.

Electron crystallography is an emerging field for structure determination as evidenced by a number of membrane proteins that have been solved to near-atomic resolution. Advances in specimen preparation and in data acquisition with a 400kV microscope by computer controlled spot scanning mean that our ability to record electron image data will outstrip our capacity to analyze it. The computed fourier transform of these images must be processed in order to provide a direct measurement of amplitudes and phases needed for 3-D reconstruction.In anticipation of this processing bottleneck, we have written a program that incorporates a menu-and mouse-driven procedure for auto-indexing and refining the reciprocal lattice parameters in the computed transform from an image of a crystal. It is linked to subsequent steps of image processing by a system of data bases and spawned child processes; data transfer between different program modules no longer requires manual data entry. The progress of the reciprocal lattice refinement is monitored visually and quantitatively. If desired, the processing is carried through the lattice distortion correction (unbending) steps automatically.
