Online multimedia retrieval on CPU–GPU platforms with adaptive work partition
Nearest neighbors search is a core operation found in several online multimedia services. These services have to handle very large databases, while, at the same time, they must minimize the query response times observed by users. This is specially complex because those services deal with fluctuating query workloads (rates). Consequently, they must adapt at run-time to minimize the response times as the load varies. In this paper, we address the aforementioned challenges with a distributed memory parallelization of the product quantization nearest neighbor search, also known as IVFADC, for hybrid CPU–GPU machines. Overall, our parallel IVFADC implements an out-of-GPU memory execution scheme to use the GPU for databases in which the index does not fit in its memory, which is crucial for searching in very large databases. The careful use of CPU and GPU with work stealing led to an average response time reduction of 2.4 as compared to using the GPU only. Also, our approach to adapt the system to fluctuating loads, called Dynamic Query Processing Policy (DQPP), attained a response time reduction of up to 5 vs. the best static (BS) policy for moderate loads. The system has attained high query processing rates and near-linear scalability in all experiments. We have evaluated our system on a machine with up to 256 NVIDIA V100 GPUs processing a database of 256 billion SIFT features vectors.

Aqueous ion partitioning in Nafion: Applicability of Manning's counter-ion condensation theory
Nafion is a well-studied polymer of significant interest as a fuel cell membrane due to rapid transport of protons, which is often ascribed, at least in part, to its phase-separated morphology. The literature detailing ion sorption and transport in Nafion diverges considerably from that of water purification membranes, with contrasting analyses and models. To help bridge these gaps and facilitate comparisons of membranes with various structures, this study presents measurements of ion activity coefficients and sorption in Nafion 117 equilibrated with aqueous solutions of NaCl, MgCl 2 , and Na 2 SO 4 , which are relevant to water purification. The experimental data are compared to a theoretical framework based on Manning's counter-ion condensation theory and Donnan theory. Good agreement between the model and data is observed for NaCl and MgCl 2 , using no adjustable parameters. However, the model significantly underpredicts Na 2 SO 4 solubility, which is attributed to ion pairing effects. Furthermore, the results highlight the general applicability of counter-ion condensation theory to highly charged polymers, including those exhibiting nanoscale ordering, while revealing fundamental limitations related to ion pairing.
