Overhead Management in Multi-Core Environment

In multi-core systems, various factors like inter-process communication, dependency, resource sharing and scheduling, level of parallelism, synchronization, number of available cores etc. influence the extent of possible High Performance Computing parallelization. These parameters if not managed to the root level, later surface as overheads during execution. This paper emphasizes on these parameters of parallelism, their overheads of parallelization and its effective management for optimal parallel execution under any domain. As a whole, we focus on the Dense Linear Algebra (DLA) domain and specifically on Matrix Multiplication and sorting domains. These domains are chosen as they find application in various sectors of scientific and mathematical applications. The comparative analysis of results obtained clarifies the trade-off between serial and parallel execution of DLA problems the surfacing overheads and their possible and effective management.

Comparative Study of Acoustic Echo Cancellation Algorithms for Speech Recognition System in Noisy Environment

Traditionally, adaptive filters have been deployed to achieve AEC by estimating the acoustic echo response using algorithms such as the Normalized Least-Mean-Square (NLMS) algorithm. Several approaches have been proposed over recent years to improve the performance of the standard NLMS algorithm in various ways for AEC. These include algorithms based on Time Domain, Frequency Domain, Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform Adaptive Schemes, Proportionate Schemes, Proportionate Adaptive Filters, Combination Schemes, Block Based Combination, Sub band Adaptive Filtering, Uniform Over Sampled DFT Filter Banks, Sub band Over-Sampled DFT Filter Banks, Volterra Filters, Variable Step-Size (VSS) algorithms, Data Reusing Techniques, Partial Update Adaptive Filtering Techniques and Sub band (SAF) Schemes. These approaches aim to address issues in echo cancellation including the performance with noisy input signals, Time-Varying echo paths and computational complexity. In contrast to these approaches, Sparse Adaptive algorithms have been developed specifically to address the performance of adaptive filters in sparse system identification. In this paper we have discussed some AEC algorithms followed by comparative study with respective to step-size, convergence and performance.

Comparative Analysis of Different Techniques of Real Time Scheduling for Multi-Core Platform

As the demand of real time computing increases day by day, there is a major paradigm shift in processing platform of real time system from single core to multi-core platform which provides advantages like higher throughput, linear power consumption, efficient utilization of processor cores and high performance per unit cost over the many single core processors unit. Currently available most popular real time schedulers for multi-core domain are partitioned and global scheduling and these schedulers not suitable to efficiently use this multi-core platform efficiently. Although, semi-partitioned algorithms increases utilization bound by using spare capacities left by partitioning via global scheduling, it has a inherent disadvantage of off-line task splitting.

Performance Enhancement of Distributed Quasi Steady-State Genetic Algorithm

This paper proposes a new scheme for performance enhancement of distributed genetic algorithm (DGA). Initial population is divided in two classes i.e. female and male. Simple distance based clustering is used for cluster formation around females. For reclustering self-adaptive K-means is used, which produces well distributed and well separated clusters. The self-adaptive K-means used for reclustering automatically locates initial position of centroids and number of clusters. Four plans of co-evolution are applied on these clusters independently. Clusters evolve separately. Merging of clusters takes place depending on their performance. For experimentation unimodal and multimodal test functions have been used. Test result show that the new scheme of distribution of population has given better performance.

An Algorithm to Improve Performance over Multihop Wireless Mesh Network

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant reliable transport protocol utilized in the Internet. Improving the performance of TCP associated with the presence of multi-hop is one of the research challenges in wireless mesh networks. Wireless mesh networks have large round trip time variations and these variations are dependent on the number of hops. In wireless mesh network, when congestion loss and wireless loss are co-existed the number of packets dropped increases and will have adverse effects on TCP and its congestion control mechanism which leads to low throughput. Here we have designed a new TCP scheme for multi-hop wireless mesh networks, by modifying the sender side congestion control functionality of TCP NewReno, which is tuned towards improving the performance of TCP. The simulation results show that TCP SAC has higher performance than TCP NewReno, Reno, Sack and Vegas in multi-hop wireless mesh networks.

Interference-Aware Channel Assignment for Maximizing Throughput in WMN

Wireless Mesh network (WMN) is dynamically self-organizing and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad-hoc network and maintaining the mesh connectivity. The ability to use multiple-radios and multiple channels can be cashed to increase aggregate throughput of wireless mesh network. Thus the efficient use of available interfaces and channels without interference becomes the key factor. In this paper we propose, interference aware clustered based channel assignment schemes which minimizes the interference and increases throughput. In our proposed scheme we have given priority to minimize interference from nearby mesh nodes in interference range than maximizing channel diversity. We simulated our proposed work using NS-3 and results show that our scheme improves network performance than BFSCA and Distributed Greedy CA.

Speech Enhancement Using Pitch Detection Approach For Noisy Environment

Acoustical mismatch among training and testing phases degrades outstandingly speech recognition results. This problem has limited the development of real-world nonspecific applications, as testing conditions are highly variant or even unpredictable during the training process. Therefore the background noise has to be removed from the noisy speech signal to increase the signal intelligibility and to reduce the listener fatigue. Enhancement techniques applied, as pre-processing stages; to the systems remarkably improve recognition results. In this paper, a novel approach is used to enhance the perceived quality of the speech signal when the additive noise cannot be directly controlled. Instead of controlling the background noise, we propose to reinforce the speech signal so that it can be heard more clearly in noisy environments. The subjective evaluation shows that the proposed method improves perceptual quality of speech in various noisy environments. As in some cases speaking may be more convenient than typing, even for rapid typists: many mathematical symbols are missing from the keyboard but can be easily spoken and recognized. Therefore, the proposed system can be used in an application designed for mathematical symbol recognition (especially symbols not available on the keyboard) in schools.

Speech Enhancement Modeling Towards Robust Speech Recognition System

Form about four decades human beings have been dreaming of an intelligent machine which can master the natural speech. In its simplest form, this machine should consist of two subsystems, namely automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech understanding (SU). The goal of ASR is to transcribe natural speech while SU is to understand the meaning of the transcription. Recognizing and understanding a spoken sentence is obviously a knowledge-intensive process, which must take into account all variable information about the speech communication process, from acoustics to semantics and pragmatics. While developing an Automatic Speech Recognition System, it is observed that some adverse conditions degrade the performance of the Speech Recognition System. In this contribution, speech enhancement system is introduced for enhancing speech signals corrupted by additive noise and improving the performance of Automatic Speech Recognizers in noisy conditions. Automatic speech recognition experiments show that replacing noisy speech signals by the corresponding enhanced speech signals leads to an improvement in the recognition accuracies. The amount of improvement varies with the type of the corrupting noise.

Speech based Password Protected Cyber Applications

Whenever we think of cyber applications, we visualize the model that gives the idea that we are sitting in front of computer at home or workplace connected to internet and performing all the work that generally we have to go and do on a specific place for example e-shopping, e-banking, e-education etc. In case of e-shopping, we view all the products on the computer screen with all details by a single mouse click, select the product and do all further money transaction through net. When we think of security, is it 100% secure? No, not at all because though it is password protected, the password is a text base secrete code that can be open. Therefore this paper is concentrated on preparation of speech based password protected applications.
