We propose an effective data structure called Round-robin Buddy Bloom Filters （RBBF） to detect duplicate elements in flows. A two-stage approximate algorithm based on RBBF which can be used for detecting service nodes from NetFlow data is also given and the perfonmnce of the algorithm is analyzed. In our case, the proposed algorithm uses about 1% memory of hash table with false positive error rate less than 5%. A proto-type system, which is compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6, using the proposed data structure and al-gorithm is introduced. Some real world case studies based on the prototype system are discussed.展开更多

However,task duplication on data pipelining case would generate excessive traffic over the datacenter networks. In this paper, we study minimizing the traffic cost for data pipelining task replications and design a controller that chooses the data generated by the first finished task and discards data generated later by other replications belonging to the same task. Each task replication communicates with the controller when it finishes a data processing, which causes additional network overhead. Hence, we try to reduce the network overhead and make a trade-off between the delay of data block and the network overhead. Finally, extensive simulation results demonstrate that our proposal can minimize network traffic cost under data pipelining case.展开更多

Ten enzyme systems were resolved. One hundred and fifty-six clones showing unusual allozyme band patterns at locus Mdh-Ⅰ were found. Three allozyme bands at locus Mdh-Ⅰ were 9：6：1 in concentration. Further studies on the electrophoretic patterns of ground mixed pollen extraction of 30 male clones selected at random from the 156 clones were conducted and it was found that allozyme bands at locus Mdh-Ⅰ were composed of two dark-stained bands and a weak band. Only one group of the malate dehydrogenase （MDH） zymogram composed of two bands was obtained from the electrophoretic segregation of pollen leachate of the same clones. A comparison of the electrophoretic patterns one another suggested that the locus Mdh-Ⅰ coding malate dehydrogenase in diploid species of P. tomentosa was duplicated. The duplicate gene locus possessed three same alleles and was located in mitochondria. The locus duplication of alleles coding malate dehydrogenase in P.tomentosa was discovered and reported for the first time.展开更多
