Optimizing Parallel Belief Propagation In Junction Trees Using Regression, Lu Zheng, Ole J. Mengshoel

The junction tree approach, with applications in artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, and statistics, is often used for computing posterior distributions in probabilistic graphical models. One of the key challenges associated with junction trees is computational, and several parallel computing technologies - including many-core processors - have been investigated to meet this challenge. Many-core processors (including GPUs) are now programmable, unfortunately their complexities make it hard to manually tune their parameters in order to optimize software performance. In this paper, we investigate a machine learning approach to minimize the execution time of parallel junction tree algorithms implemented on a …

Mobile devices have evolved to become computing platforms more similar to desktops and workstations than the cell phones and handsets of yesteryear. Unfortunately, today’s mobile infrastructures are mirrors of the wired past. Devices, apps, and networks impact one another, but a systematic approach for allowing them to cooperate is currently missing. We propose an approach that seeks to open key interfaces and to apply feedback and autonomic computing to improve both user experience and mobile system dynamics.
