We describe a software framework for solving user equilibrium traffic assignment problems. The design is based on the formulation of the problem as a variational inequality. The software implements these as well as several numerical methods for find equilirbria. We compare the solutions obtained under several models: static, Merchant-Nemhauser, `CTM with instantaneous travel time, and `CTM with actual travel time. Some important differences are demonstrated.

In this paper we develop a unified approach for solving a wide class of sequential selection problems. This class includes, but is not limited to, selection problems with no-information, rank-dependent rewards, and considers both fixed as well as ran dom problem horizons. The proposed framework is based on a reduction of the original selection problem to one of optimal stopping for a sequence of judiciously constructed independent random variables. We demonstrate that our approach allows exact and efficient computation of optimal policies and various performance metrics thereof for a variety of sequential selection problems, several of which have not been solved to date.
The industry and academia have proposed many distributed graph processing systems. However, the existing systems are not friendly enough for users like data analysts and algorithm engineers. On the one hand, the programing models and interfaces diffe r a lot in the existing systems, leading to high learning costs and program migration costs. On the other hand, these graph processing systems are tightly bound to the underlying distributed computing platforms, requiring users to be familiar with distributed computing. To improve the usability of distributed graph processing, we propose a unified distributed graph programming framework UniGPS. Firstly, we propose a unified cross-platform graph programming model VCProg for UniGPS. VCProg hides details of distributed computing from users. It is compatible with the popular graph programming models Pregel, GAS, and Push-Pull. VCProg programs can be executed by compatible distributed graph processing systems without modification, reducing the learning overheads of users. Secondly, UniGPS supports Python as the programming language. We propose an interprocess-communication-based execution environment isolation mechanism to enable Java/C++-based systems to call user-defined methods written in Python. The experimental results show that UniGPS enables users to process big graphs beyond the memory capacity of a single machine without sacrificing usability. UniGPS shows near-linear data scalability and machine scalability.
Despite the great promise of the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) in solving forward and inverse problems, several technical challenges are present as roadblocks for more complex and realistic applications. First, most existing PINNs are base d on point-wise formulation with fully-connected networks to learn continuous functions, which suffer from poor scalability and hard boundary enforcement. Second, the infinite search space over-complicates the non-convex optimization for network training. Third, although the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based discrete learning can significantly improve training efficiency, CNNs struggle to handle irregular geometries with unstructured meshes. To properly address these challenges, we present a novel discrete PINN framework based on graph convolutional network (GCN) and variational structure of PDE to solve forward and inverse partial differential equations (PDEs) in a unified manner. The use of a piecewise polynomial basis can reduce the dimension of search space and facilitate training and convergence. Without the need of tuning penalty parameters in classic PINNs, the proposed method can strictly impose boundary conditions and assimilate sparse data in both forward and inverse settings. The flexibility of GCNs is leveraged for irregular geometries with unstructured meshes. The effectiveness and merit of the proposed method are demonstrated over a variety of forward and inverse computational mechanics problems governed by both linear and nonlinear PDEs.
We propose PAIO, the first general-purpose framework that enables system designers to build custom-made Software-Defined Storage (SDS) data plane stages. It provides the means to implement storage optimizations adaptable to different workflows and us er-defined policies, and allows straightforward integration with existing applications and I/O layers. PAIO allows stages to be integrated with modern SDS control planes to ensure holistic control and system-wide optimal performance. We demonstrate the performance and applicability of PAIO with two use cases. The first improves 99th percentile latency by 4x in industry-standard LSM-based key-value stores. The second ensures dynamic per-application bandwidth guarantees under shared storage environments.
Partial differential equations are central to describing many physical phenomena. In many applications these phenomena are observed through a sensor network, with the aim of inferring their underlying properties. Leveraging from certain results in sa mpling and approximation theory, we present a new framework for solving a class of inverse source problems for physical fields governed by linear partial differential equations. Specifically, we demonstrate that the unknown field sources can be recovered from a sequence of, so called, generalised measurements by using multidimensional frequency estimation techniques. Next we show that---for physics-driven fields---this sequence of generalised measurements can be estimated by computing a linear weighted-sum of the sensor measurements; whereby the exact weights (of the sums) correspond to those that reproduce multidimensional exponentials, when used to linearly combine translates of a particular prototype function related to the Greens function of our underlying field. Explicit formulae are then derived for the sequence of weights, that map sensor samples to the exact sequence of generalised measurements when the Greens function satisfies the generalised Strang-Fix condition. Otherwise, the same mapping yields a close approximation of the generalised measurements. Based on this new framework we develop practical, noise robust, sensor network strategies for solving the inverse source problem, and then present numerical simulation results to verify their performance.
