Modeling Default Dependence with the Mixture of Calendar Time and Business Time

Evaluating default correlation between securities in a portfolio is very important for credit derivatives pricing and risk management. Under the framework of the structural model proposed by Black and Cox, we assume that the asset values of companies are driven by Brownian motions in the worlds of the calendar time and the business time; they then could evolve continuously or by leap. We build the dynamic default correlations using the time-varying correlated Brownian motions in these processes. The sensitivity of default correlations to the key parameters is explored in the paper by numerical examples, and we apply the model to risk management as well. Because default times are unpredictable in the proposed model, the defaults might occur suddenly. Independent defaults and complete correlated defaults can be described in the model as well.     

Non-Uniform APSK Optimization for BICM Systems

Traditional Amplitude Phase Shift Keying(APSK) consists of rings with points uniformly spaced. By giving up this uniform-spacing feature, we propose an APSK optimization method based on the uniform APSK with Gray labeling(Gray-APSK). The aim of the optimization is to maximize the Generalized Mutual Information(GMI)of Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation(BICM) for the targeted code rate and channel. We show that our optimized non-uniform APSK could offer further performance gain compared with the conventional uniform Gray-APSK and considerably outperforms the traditional quadrature amplitude modulation at the targeted SNR and channel.     

FlexCore: Dynamic Virtual Machine Scheduling Using VCPU Ballooning

As multi-core processors become the de-facto configuration in modern computers, the adoption of SMP Virtual Machines(VMs) has been increasing, allowing for more efficient use of computing resources. However,because of existence of schedulers in both the hypervisor and the guest VMs, this creates a new research problem,viz., double scheduling. Although double scheduling may cause many issues including lock-holder preemption,v CPU stacking, CPU fragmentation, and priority inversion, prior approaches have either introduced new problems and/or addressed the problem incompletely. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of Flex Core,a new scheduling scheme using v CPU ballooning, which dynamically adjusts the number of v CPUs of a VM at runtime. This essentially eliminates unnecessary scheduling in the hypervisor layer, and thus, boosts performance significantly. An evaluation using a complete KVM-based implementation shows that the average performance improvement for PARSEC applications on a 12-core Intel machine is approximately 52.9%, ranging from 35.4% to79.6%.

干旱胁迫对苦荞麦农艺性状、产量和品质的影响

以2个苦荞品种(晋荞2号和川荞1号)为材料,研究了干旱胁迫对苦荞麦农艺性状、产量和品质的影响.结果表明:晋荞2号在轻度胁迫处理下株高、主根长、根体积、侧根数分别为56.4cm,12.41cm,3.76cm3和13.0个,较正常灌水和重度胁迫处理分别增加13.4%~42.8%,22.3%~73.4%,16.4%~50.5%和33.1%~77.6%.川荞1号在轻度胁迫处理下株高、主根长、根体积和侧根数分别为35.1cm,16.3cm,3.66cm3和6.0个.较正常灌水和重度胁迫处理分别增加9.4%~33.3%,40.4%~50.0%;23.2%~46.5%,34.5%~69.7%.胁迫可增加苦荞的单株粒质量,两个品种均在轻度胁迫处理单株粒质量最高,分别为2.3g和2.3g.芦丁质量分数以叶片质量分数最高,但各胁迫处理间差异无统计学意义.黄酮质量分数以轻度胁迫处理最高,两个品种均以胁迫处理显著高于正常灌水处理,晋荞2号各器官间黄酮和芦丁质量分数均明显高于川荞1号.
