This paper reports on an in-depth examination of the impact of the backing filesystems to Docker performance in the context of Linux container-based virtualization. The experimental design was a 3x3x4 arrangement, i.e., we considered three different numbers of Docker containers, three filesystems (Ext4, XFS and Btrfs), and four application workloads related to Web server I/O activity, e-mail server I/O activity, file server I/O activity and random file access I/O activity, respectively. The experimental results indicate that Ext4 is the most optimal filesystem, among the considered filesystems, for the considered experimental settings. In addition, the XFS filesystem is not suitable for workloads that are dominated by synchronous random write components (e.g., characteristical for mail workload), while the Btrfs filesystem is not suitable for workloads dominated by random write and sequential write components (e.g., file server workload).

Critical Requirement

As one of the workload characteristics, the anomaly behaviors in real workload have been recognized as a critical requirement for file system design. In this paper, a set of traces collected from typically realistic file system have been analyzed. The correlation study of I/O request inter-arrival times shows that it is necessary to examine the self-similarity in file system workload. Then the phenomenon of self-similarity which had been initially observed in network and disk I/O workload has also been visually and statistically observed in file system workload. In addition, we implement an I/O series generator in which the inputs are the measured properties of the available trace data. Experimental results show that this model can accurately emulate the complex access arrival behaviors of real file systems, particularly the heavy-tail characteristics.

A bio-inspired jet propulsion mechanism was designed and developed for development of proficient unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs). The propulsion mechanism mimics that of the Sarsia sp. jellyfish which measures approximately 1 cm in diameter. In order to achieve a biomimetic uniform bell contraction, an electrical motor was used in conjunction with a novel circumferential actuator based upon a mechanical iris diaphragm. This mechanism allows actuation of a deformable cavity. The current prototype was scaled to a diameter 10 times larger than Sarsia measuring 10 cm in diameter. The performance of the propulsion mechanism was analyzed both experimentally theoretically. The prototype was mounted on a test stand which allowed for measurement of thrust and power consumption. Analytical and experimental results were compared to that of the performance of Sarsia. It was found that the overall mechanism created a maximum thrust of 5.1 N with a calculated vehicle efficiency of 0.17% and proficiency of 4.8 s−1.

Routing Tables

Efficient routing is challenging and crucial problem in the irregular mesh NoC topologies because of increasing hardware cost and routing tables. In this paper, the authors propose an efficient deadlock-free routing algorithm for irregular mesh NoCs which reduces the latency and power consumption significantly. The problem with degree priority based routing algorithm is that it cannot remove deadlocks in irregular mesh topologies. Therefore, the authors use the extended Logic Based Distributed Routing (LBDRe) to remove deadlock situations without using any virtual channel in the degree priority based routing algorithm. The proposed LBDRe based technique also removes the dependency on routing tables. The authors further apply odd-Even routing algorithm to LBDRe to ensure that some turns are prohibited to remove deadlocks. Experimental results show that the proposed routing algorithm reduces power consumption by 9–22% and overall average latency by 8–12% with the minimum hardware cost for the irregular mesh NoC topologies.

This paper presents a novel under-actuated (UA) finger with first coupled and secondly self-adaptive (COSA) grasping mode. COSA fingers can adaptively grasp objects with different sizes and shapes while its motions during grasping are anthropopathic. Until now there are two COSA mechanisms available and they are both direct parallel combinations of coupled mechanism and self-adaptive mechanism. These kind of direct combinations lead to complex mechanical structure and high power consumption. This paper proposes a novel single-route transmission mechanism for COSA grasping mode, S-coupled and directly self-adaptive (CDSA) mechanism for short. Compared with available COSA mechanisms, the S-CDSA mechanism has simpler structure and higher grasping force. Design of 2-joint S-CDSA finger is introduced in this paper. Force analysis for 2-joint S-CDSA finger is given. Furthermore, a 2-joint S-CDSA finger is manufactured. The force analysis and experimental results show that the novel S-CDSA mechanism is effective.

This paper reports on an initial investigation of a switched inertance device (‘SID’). Using this device, flow and pressure can be varied by a means that does not rely on dissipation of power. The device can provide a step-up or step-down of pressure or flowrate, analogous to a hydraulic transformer. Simulated and experimental results on a prototype device show a promising performance. The device could potentially provide very significant reduction in power consumption over conventional valve-controlled systems, provided that noise issues and some other practical problems can be overcome.

Steepest Descent Method

This paper introduces an adaptive bias current control method for an active magnetic bearing (AMB). The bearing force is analyzed theoretically, and the dynamic performance of the magnetic bearing for various bias currents is discussed. Then power consumption is analyzed and the optimum bias current that minimizes power consumption is derived. A novel optimization method using a steepest descent method is proposed. This requires less computing power than the former optimization method using a recursive Fourier transform algorithm. Experimental results show that the optimized bias current can be achieved by the proposed method. However, the dynamics of the rotor is affected by the bias current variation. In order to overcome this problem, the effects of parameter errors are investigated and correction methods are introduced. Experimental results show that the rotor dynamics are not affected by the variable bias current if the parameters are corrected. Results are also presented for machine run-up and run-down.
