文摘Vehicle Edge Computing(VEC)and Cloud Computing(CC)significantly enhance the processing efficiency of delay-sensitive and computation-intensive applications by offloading compute-intensive tasks from resource-constrained onboard devices to nearby Roadside Unit(RSU),thereby achieving lower delay and energy consumption.However,due to the limited storage capacity and energy budget of RSUs,it is challenging to meet the demands of the highly dynamic Internet of Vehicles(IoV)environment.Therefore,determining reasonable service caching and computation offloading strategies is crucial.To address this,this paper proposes a joint service caching scheme for cloud-edge collaborative IoV computation offloading.By modeling the dynamic optimization problem using Markov Decision Processes(MDP),the scheme jointly optimizes task delay,energy consumption,load balancing,and privacy entropy to achieve better quality of service.Additionally,a dynamic adaptive multi-objective deep reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed.Each Double Deep Q-Network(DDQN)agent obtains rewards for different objectives based on distinct reward functions and dynamically updates the objective weights by learning the value changes between objectives using Radial Basis Function Networks(RBFN),thereby efficiently approximating the Pareto-optimal decisions for multiple objectives.Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can better coordinate the three-tier computing resources of cloud,edge,and vehicles.Compared to existing algorithms,the proposed method reduces task delay and energy consumption by 10.64%and 5.1%,respectively.

文摘The cloud-fog computing paradigm has emerged as a novel hybrid computing model that integrates computational resources at both fog nodes and cloud servers to address the challenges posed by dynamic and heterogeneous computing networks.Finding an optimal computational resource for task offloading and then executing efficiently is a critical issue to achieve a trade-off between energy consumption and transmission delay.In this network,the task processed at fog nodes reduces transmission delay.Still,it increases energy consumption,while routing tasks to the cloud server saves energy at the cost of higher communication delay.Moreover,the order in which offloaded tasks are executed affects the system’s efficiency.For instance,executing lower-priority tasks before higher-priority jobs can disturb the reliability and stability of the system.Therefore,an efficient strategy of optimal computation offloading and task scheduling is required for operational efficacy.In this paper,we introduced a multi-objective and enhanced version of Cheeta Optimizer(CO),namely(MoECO),to jointly optimize the computation offloading and task scheduling in cloud-fog networks to minimize two competing objectives,i.e.,energy consumption and communication delay.MoECO first assigns tasks to the optimal computational nodes and then the allocated tasks are scheduled for processing based on the task priority.The mathematical modelling of CO needs improvement in computation time and convergence speed.Therefore,MoECO is proposed to increase the search capability of agents by controlling the search strategy based on a leader’s location.The adaptive step length operator is adjusted to diversify the solution and thus improves the exploration phase,i.e.,global search strategy.Consequently,this prevents the algorithm from getting trapped in the local optimal solution.Moreover,the interaction factor during the exploitation phase is also adjusted based on the location of the prey instead of the adjacent Cheetah.This increases the exploitation capability of agents,i.e.,local search capability.Furthermore,MoECO employs a multi-objective Pareto-optimal front to simultaneously minimize designated objectives.Comprehensive simulations in MATLAB demonstrate that the proposed algorithm obtains multiple solutions via a Pareto-optimal front and achieves an efficient trade-off between optimization objectives compared to baseline methods.

文摘In the field of edge computing,achieving low-latency computational task offloading with limited resources is a critical research challenge,particularly in resource-constrained and latency-sensitive vehicular network environments where rapid response is mandatory for safety-critical applications.In scenarios where edge servers are sparsely deployed,the lack of coordination and information sharing often leads to load imbalance,thereby increasing system latency.Furthermore,in regions without edge server coverage,tasks must be processed locally,which further exacerbates latency issues.To address these challenges,we propose a novel and efficient Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)-based approach aimed at minimizing average task latency.The proposed method incorporates three offloading strategies:local computation,direct offloading to the edge server in local region,and device-to-device(D2D)-assisted offloading to edge servers in other regions.We formulate the task offloading process as a complex latency minimization optimization problem.To solve it,we propose an advanced algorithm based on the Dueling Double Deep Q-Network(D3QN)architecture and incorporating the Prioritized Experience Replay(PER)mechanism.Experimental results demonstrate that,compared with existing offloading algorithms,the proposed method significantly reduces average task latency,enhances user experience,and offers an effective strategy for latency optimization in future edge computing systems under dynamic workloads.
文摘The advent of quantum computing poses a significant challenge to traditional cryptographic protocols,particularly those used in SecureMultiparty Computation(MPC),a fundamental cryptographic primitive for privacypreserving computation.Classical MPC relies on cryptographic techniques such as homomorphic encryption,secret sharing,and oblivious transfer,which may become vulnerable in the post-quantum era due to the computational power of quantum adversaries.This study presents a review of 140 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025 that used different databases like MDPI,IEEE Explore,Springer,and Elsevier,examining the applications,types,and security issues with the solution of Quantum computing in different fields.This review explores the impact of quantum computing on MPC security,assesses emerging quantum-resistant MPC protocols,and examines hybrid classicalquantum approaches aimed at mitigating quantum threats.We analyze the role of Quantum Key Distribution(QKD),post-quantum cryptography(PQC),and quantum homomorphic encryption in securing multiparty computations.Additionally,we discuss the challenges of scalability,computational efficiency,and practical deployment of quantumsecure MPC frameworks in real-world applications such as privacy-preserving AI,secure blockchain transactions,and confidential data analysis.This review provides insights into the future research directions and open challenges in ensuring secure,scalable,and quantum-resistant multiparty computation.

文摘Beam-tracking simulations have been extensively utilized in the study of collective beam instabilities in circular accelerators.Traditionally,many simulation codes have relied on central processing unit(CPU)-based methods,tracking on a single CPU core,or parallelizing the computation across multiple cores via the message passing interface(MPI).Although these approaches work well for single-bunch tracking,scaling them to multiple bunches significantly increases the computational load,which often necessitates the use of a dedicated multi-CPU cluster.To address this challenge,alternative methods leveraging General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units(GPGPU)have been proposed,enabling tracking studies on a standalone desktop personal computer(PC).However,frequent CPU-GPU interactions,including data transfers and synchronization operations during tracking,can introduce communication overheads,potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of GPU-based computations.In this study,we propose a novel approach that eliminates this overhead by performing the entire tracking simulation process exclusively on the GPU,thereby enabling the simultaneous processing of all bunches and their macro-particles.Specifically,we introduce MBTRACK2-CUDA,a Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA)ported version of MBTRACK2,which facilitates efficient tracking of single-and multi-bunch collective effects by leveraging the full GPU-resident computation.

文摘As Internet of Things(IoT)applications expand,Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)has emerged as a promising architecture to overcome the real-time processing limitations of mobile devices.Edge-side computation offloading plays a pivotal role in MEC performance but remains challenging due to complex task topologies,conflicting objectives,and limited resources.This paper addresses high-dimensional multi-objective offloading for serial heterogeneous tasks in MEC.We jointly consider task heterogeneity,high-dimensional objectives,and flexible resource scheduling,modeling the problem as a Many-objective optimization.To solve it,we propose a flexible framework integrating an improved cooperative co-evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition(MOCC/D)and a flexible scheduling strategy.Experimental results on benchmark functions and simulation scenarios show that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in both convergence and solution quality.

文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs)have emerged as a promising class of scientific machine learning techniques that integrate governing physical laws into neural network training.Their ability to enforce differential equations,constitutive relations,and boundary conditions within the loss function provides a physically grounded alternative to traditional data-driven models,particularly for solid and structural mechanics,where data are often limited or noisy.This review offers a comprehensive assessment of recent developments in PINNs,combining bibliometric analysis,theoretical foundations,application-oriented insights,and methodological innovations.A biblio-metric survey indicates a rapid increase in publications on PINNs since 2018,with prominent research clusters focused on numerical methods,structural analysis,and forecasting.Building upon this trend,the review consolidates advance-ments across five principal application domains,including forward structural analysis,inverse modeling and parameter identification,structural and topology optimization,assessment of structural integrity,and manufacturing processes.These applications are propelled by substantial methodological advancements,encompassing rigorous enforcement of boundary conditions,modified loss functions,adaptive training,domain decomposition strategies,multi-fidelity and transfer learning approaches,as well as hybrid finite element–PINN integration.These advances address recurring challenges in solid mechanics,such as high-order governing equations,material heterogeneity,complex geometries,localized phenomena,and limited experimental data.Despite remaining challenges in computational cost,scalability,and experimental validation,PINNs are increasingly evolving into specialized,physics-aware tools for practical solid and structural mechanics applications.

文摘The rational design of high-performance CO_(2)adsorbents remains a critical challenge in addressing global carbon emissions,with metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)emerging as promising candidates due to their tunable pore environments.However,the lack of systematic guidelines for functional group selection has hindered their practical implementation in carbon capture applications.Here,this gap was addressed by developing a comprehensive design framework through high-throughput computational screening.Through construction of a topology-directed database of 4797,integrating 10 metal centers with 144 functionalized ligands(18 ligands modified by–NH_(2),–NO_(2),–CH_(3),–CF_(3),–SH_(2),–SO_(2),–OH,and–OLi)across 36 topologies,the fundamental structure–property relationships governing CO_(2)capture performance was established.Multi-metric evaluation reveals that–NO_(2),–SO_(2),and–OLi dramatically enhance CO_(2)selectivity over CH_4/N_(2)via selectivity(S_(ads)),working capacity(ΔN),adsorbent performance score(APS),sorbent selection parameter(S_(sp)),and renewability R.Specially,ΔN rises from 2.34(pristine)to 5.91–7.94 mmol g^(-1)and S_(ads)surges from 24.94/40.36 to 121.11/176.87(–NO_(2)),149.94/215.54(–SO_(2)),and 58.64/267.44(–OLi).Besides,the critical trade-off between adsorption strength and renewability demonstrates that enhanced performance comes at the cost of reduced renewability,where stronger CO_(2)affinity(isosteric heat of-29.15,-29.96,and-30.09 for–NO_(2),–SO_(2),and–OLi)compromises renewability(R reduced by -50%).To resolve this trade-off,a novel energy efficiency(η)metric was introduced,which holistically evaluates both adsorption performance(S_(ads),ΔN,APS,S_(sp),and R)and energy inputs(desorption heat,pressure-swing energy,net loss).This leads to the identification of–SO_(2)as the optimal functional group that balances exceptional CO_(2)capture(η=6.17/12.78 for CO_(2)over CH_4/N_(2)),surpassing the second higher of 4.74/8.80 in–CF_(3)and 0.99/2.18 in non-functionalized counterparts.Adopting high-throughput computational screening methods,this work provides both fundamental insights into host–vip interactions in functionalized MOFs and a practical framework for designing next-generation adsorbents,bridging the gap between materials discovery and process engineering considerations in carbon capture technologies.

文摘Classical computation of electronic properties in large-scale materials remains challenging.Quantum computation has the potential to offer advantages in memory footprint and computational scaling.However,general and viable quantum algorithms for simulating large-scale materials are still limited.We propose and implement random-state quantum algorithms to calculate electronic-structure properties of real materials.Using a random state circuit on a small number of qubits,we employ real-time evolution with first-order Trotter decomposition and Hadamard test to obtain electronic density of states,and we develop a modified quantum phase estimation algorithm to calculate real-space local density of states via direct quantum measurements.Furthermore,we validate these algorithms by numerically computing the density of states and spatial distributions of electronic states in graphene,twisted bilayer graphene quasicrystals,and fractal lattices,covering system sizes from hundreds to thousands of atoms.Our results manifest that the random-state quantum algorithms provide a general and qubit-efficient route to scalable simulations of electronic properties in large-scale periodic and aperiodic materials.
