With the rapid development of high-performance computing and parallel computing technology, by virtue of its cost-effectiveness, strong scalability, and easy programming, the multiprocessor system has gradually become the mainstream computing platform. Meanwhile, a growing number of researchers pay attention to the performance of multiprocessor systems, especially the task scheduling problem, which has an important impact on the system performance. Most of the current research works on task scheduling algorithms are based on the homogeneous computing environment. On the contrary, research works focusing on more complex performance asymmetric multiprocessor environments still remain rare. In this paper, we compare the effects of three earliest deadline first algorithms under different processor allocation strategies on performance asymmetric multiprocessors. We propose an efficient schedulability analysis for an allocation strategy that assigns high-priority tasks to the slowest idle processor. Experimental results show that the strategy of allocating processors with optimum speeds for high-priority tasks can schedule more task sets than the other two allocation strategies. The strategy that prioritizes the slowest processors for high-priority tasks has the smallest number of task migrations, and the strategy has the highest effective processor utilization. Full article

In the medical field, with the increasing number of medical images, medical image classification has become a hot spot. The convolutional neural network, a technology that can process more images and extract more accurate features with nonlinear models, has been widely used in this field. However, the classification process with model training with existing medical images needs a large number of samples, and the operation involves complex parameter computations, which puts forward higher requirements for users. Therefore, we propose a scheme for flexible privacy-preserving outsourcing medical image classification based on a convolutional neural network to the cloud. In this paper, three servers on the cloud platform can train the model with images from users, but they cannot obtain complete information on model parameters and user input. In practice, the scheme can not only reduce the computation and storage burdens on the user side but also ensure the security and efficiency of the system, which can be confirmed through the implementation of the experiment.

Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is emerging as a prospective technology in the era of 5G and beyond to support delay-sensitive and computation-intensive vehicular applications. However, designing an efficient approach for joint computation offloading and resource allocation is challenging due to the limited resources of VEC servers, the highly dynamic vehicular networks (VNs), different priorities of vehicular applications, and the threat of privacy disclosure. In this work, we propose a cooperative optimization for privacy-preserving and priority-aware offloading and resource allocation in VEC network (VECN) based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Firstly, we employed a privacy-preserving framework where the certificate authority (CA) is integrated into the VEC architecture. Furthermore, we formulated the dynamic optimization problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) by constructing a weighted cost function that integrates the priority of stochastic arrival tasks, privacy-preserving of offloading, and dynamic interaction between the edge servers and intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs). To solve this problem, a cooperative optimization for privacy and priority based on deep deterministic policy gradient (COPP-DDPG) is proposed by learning the optimal actions to minimize the weighted cost function. The simulation results show that COPP-DDPG has good convergence and outperforms the other four comparison algorithms in many aspects. Full article
