We analyze a data-processing system with n clients producing jobs which are processed in batches by m parallel servers; the system throughput critically depends on the batch size and a corresponding sub-additive speedup function that arises due to overhead amortization. In practice, throughput optimization relies on numerical searches for the optimal batch size which is computationally cumbersome. In this paper, we model this system in terms of a closed queueing network assuming certain forms of service speedup; a standard Markovian analysis yields the optimal throughput in w n4 time. Our main contribution is a mean-field model that has a unique, globally attractive stationary point, derivable in closed form. This point characterizes the asymptotic throughput as a function of the batch size that can be calculated in O(1) time. Numerical settings from a large commercial system reveal that this asymptotic optimum is accurate in practical finite regimes.

AbstractNeural mass models have been used since the 1970s to model the coarse-grained activity of large populations of neurons. They have proven especially fruitful for understanding brain rhythms. However, although motivated by neurobiological considerations they are phenomenological in nature, and cannot hope to recreate some of the rich repertoire of responses seen in real neuronal tissue. Here we consider a simple spiking neuron network model that has recently been shown to admit an exact mean-field description for both synaptic and gap-junction interactions. The mean-field model takes a similar form to a standard neural mass model, with an additional dynamical equation to describe the evolution of within-population synchrony. As well as reviewing the origins of this next generation mass model we discuss its extension to describe an idealised spatially extended planar cortex. To emphasise the usefulness of this model for EEG/MEG modelling we show how it can be used to uncover the role of local gap-junction coupling in shaping large scale synaptic waves.

The paper solves the problem of a decentralized adaptive state-feedback neural tracking control for a class of stochastic nonlinear high-order interconnected systems. Under the assumptions that the inverse dynamics of the subsystems are stochastic input-to-state stable (SISS) and for the controller design, Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NN) are used to cope with the packaged unknown system dynamics and stochastic uncertainties. Besides, the appropriate Lyapunov-Krosovskii functions and parameters are constructed for a class of large-scale high-order stochastic nonlinear strong interconnected systems with inverse dynamics. It has been proved that the actual controller can be designed so as to guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop systems remain semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the tracking errors eventually converge in the small neighborhood of origin. Simulation example has been proposed to show the effectiveness of our results.
