Greedy Scheduling with Feedback Control for Overloaded Real-Time Systems
Abstract-In real-time systems, a task is required to be completed before its deadline. When workload is heavy, the system may become overloaded. Under such condition, some tasks may miss their deadlines. To deal with this overload problem, the design of scheduling algorithm is crucial. In this paper, we focus on studying on-line scheduling for overloaded realtime systems. The objective is to maximize the total number of tasks that meet their deadlines. To achieve this goal, the idea of greedy algorithm is used to propose a greedy scheduling (GS) algorithm. In each time, GS makes an optimum choice for currently known task set. As the uncertainty of new arriving tasks, GS cannot make an optimum choice for the set of overall tasks. To deal with this uncertainty, by applying feedback control, a greedy scheduling with feedback control (GSFC) is introduced. Three widely used scheduling algorithms and their corresponding deferrable scheduling (DS) methods are discussed and compared with GSFC. Simulation results reveal that GSFC can effectively improve the system performance
AnyFlow: Arbitrary Scale Optical Flow with Implicit Neural Representation
To apply optical flow in practice, it is often necessary to resize the input
to smaller dimensions in order to reduce computational costs. However,
downsizing inputs makes the estimation more challenging because objects and
motion ranges become smaller. Even though recent approaches have demonstrated
high-quality flow estimation, they tend to fail to accurately model small
objects and precise boundaries when the input resolution is lowered,
restricting their applicability to high-resolution inputs. In this paper, we
introduce AnyFlow, a robust network that estimates accurate flow from images of
various resolutions. By representing optical flow as a continuous
coordinate-based representation, AnyFlow generates outputs at arbitrary scales
from low-resolution inputs, demonstrating superior performance over prior works
in capturing tiny objects with detail preservation on a wide range of scenes.
We establish a new state-of-the-art performance of cross-dataset generalization
on the KITTI dataset, while achieving comparable accuracy on the online
benchmarks to other SOTA methods.Comment: CVPR 2023 (Highlight
The data-intensive scientific revolution occurring where two-dimensional materials meet machine learning
Machine learning (ML) has experienced rapid development in recent
years and been widely applied to assist studies in various research
areas. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, due to their unique chemical
and physical properties, have been receiving increasing attention
since the isolation of graphene. The combination of ML and 2D materials science has significantly accelerated the development of new
functional 2D materials, and a timely review may inspire further
ML-assisted 2D materials development. In this review, we provide
a horizontal and vertical summary of the recent advances at the
intersection of the fields of ML and 2D materials, discussing ML-assisted 2D materials preparation (design, discovery, and synthesis of
2D materials), atomistic structure analysis (structure identification
and formation mechanism), and properties prediction (electronic
properties, thermodynamic properties, mechanical properties, and
other properties) and revealing their connections. Finally, we highlight current research challenges and provide insight into future
research opportunities.This work was supported by the ANU Futures Scheme (Q4601024), the Australian

Measurement of charm and beauty production at central rapidity versus charged-particle multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at = 7 TeV
Prompt D meson and non-prompt J/ yields are studied as a function of the multiplicity of charged particles produced in inelastic proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The results are reported as a ratio between yields in a given multiplicity interval normalised to the multiplicity-integrated ones (relative yields). They are shown as a function of the multiplicity of charged particles normalised to the average value for inelastic collisions (relative charged-particle multiplicity). D\)^0\), D\)^+\) and D\)^{*+}\) mesons are measured in five intervals from 1 to 20 GeV/ and for GeV/ and , The fraction of non-prompt J/ in the inclusive J/ yields shows no dependence on the charged-particle multiplicity at central rapidity. Charm and beauty hadron relative yields exhibit a similar increase with increasing charged-particle multiplicity. The measurements are compared to PYTHIA 8, EPOS 3 and percolation calculations.publishedVersio
Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions
We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.

Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC
Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Pseudorapidity and transverse-momentum distributions of charged particles in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV
The pseudorapidity (eta) and transverse-momentum (p(T)) distributions of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions are measured at the centre-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV. The pseudorapidity distribution in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1.8 is reported for inelastic events and for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The pseudorapidity density of charged particles produced in the pseudorapidity region vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.5 is 5.31 +/- 0.18 and 6.46 +/- 0.19 for the two event classes, respectively. The transverse-momentum distribution of charged particles is measured in the range 0.15 <p(T) <20 GeV/c and vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.8 for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The evolution of the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles is also investigated as a function of event multiplicity. The results are compared with calculations from PYTHIA and EPOS Monte Carlo generators. (C) 2015 CERN for the benefit of the ALICE Collaboration. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76TeV
The elliptic flow, v(2), of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity (2.5 <y <4) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)= 2.76TeVwith the ALICE detector at the LHC. The scalar product, two- and four-particle Q cumulants and Lee-Yang zeros methods are used. The dependence of the v(2) of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays on the collision centrality, in the range 0-40%, and on transverse momentum, p(T), is studied in the interval 3 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. A positive v(2) is observed with the scalar product and two-particle Q cumulants in semi-central collisions (10-20% and 20-40% centrality classes) for the p(T) interval from 3 to about 5GeV/c with a significance larger than 3 sigma, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The v(2) magnitude tends to decrease towards more central collisions and with increasing pT. It becomes compatible with zero in the interval 6 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. The results are compared to models describing the interaction of heavy quarks and open heavy-flavour hadrons with the high-density medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
