This approach, called multiple interactive outputs in a single tree (MIOST), is based on two ideas. First, we defined an approach, called interactivity within an individual (IWI), which is based on a graph-GP representation. Second, we add to the individuals created with the IWI approach multiple outputs in their structures and as a result of this, we have MIOST. As a first step, we analyze the effects of IWI by using only mutations and analyze its implications (i.e., presence of neutrality). Then, we continue testing the effectiveness of IWI by allowing mutations and the standard GP crossover in the evolutionary process. Finally, we tested the effectiveness of MIOST by using mutations and crossover and conducted extensive empirical results on different evolvable problems of different complexity taken from the literature. The results reported in this paper indicate that the proposed approach has a better overall performance in terms of consistency reaching feasible solutions.展开更多

The iNAS can provide both the file I/O and the block I/O services by an iSCSI module, and it converges with the NAS and the SAN (storage area network). The iNAS improves the I/O speed by the direct data access (zero copy) between the RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) controller and the user-level memory. The iNAS integrates the multi-RAID for a single storage pool by a multi-stage stripping device driver, and it implements the storage virtualization. In the experiments, the iNAS has ultra-high-throughput for both the file I/O requests and the block I/O requests.展开更多
