Task parallelism on large-scale distributed memory environments is still a challenging problem. The focuses of our work are flexibility of task model and scalability of inter-node load balancing. General task models provide functionalities for suspending and resuming tasks at any program point, and such a model enables us flexible task scheduling to achieve higher processor utilization, locality-aware task placement, etc. To realize such a task model, we have to employ a thread―an execution context containing register values and stack frames―as a representation of a task, and implement thread migration for inter-node load balancing. However, an existing thread migration scheme, iso-address, has a scalability limitation: it requires virtual memory proportional to the number of processors in each node. In large-scale distributed memory environments, this results in a huge virtual memory usage beyond the virtual address space limit of current 64bit CPUs. Furthermore, this huge virtual memory consumption makes it impossible to implement one-sided work stealing with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) operations. One-sided work stealing is a popular approach to achieving high efficiency of load balancing; therefore this also limits scalability of distributed memory task parallelism. In prior work, we propose uni-address, a new thread migration scheme which significantly reduces virtual memory usage for thread stacks and enables RDMA-based work stealing, and implements a lightweight multithread library supporting RDMA-based work stealing on top of Fujitsu FX10 system. In this paper, we port the library to an x86-64 Infiniband cluster with GASNet communication library. We develop one-sided and non one-sided implementations of inter-node work stealing, and evaluate the performance and efficiency of the work stealing implementations.\n------------------------------This is a preprint of an article intended for publication Journal ofInformation Processing(JIP).

コミュニケーションにおける引き込み現象のように関係が成立するノンバーバルなインタラクションは,異文化,異民族間のコミュニケーションにおいても通用する共通語ともいえ,人間生物学的にみて,より普遍的であり,本質的重要性を持っていると考えられる.本論文では,従来主観的行動観察による定性的研究の色彩が強いこの分野に,呼吸・心拍間隔変動を用いた生体情報計測手法を導入し,新たにコミュニケーションの定量評価手法を提案している.本手法を用いて,成人の対面・非対面コミュニケーションおよび原初的コミュニケーションとしての母子間インタラクションにおける生理的側面での引き込み現象を呼吸を中心に分析評価し,呼吸の引き込みが身体的コミュニケーション場の創出に重要な役割を果たしていることを示している.自己のリズムを変化させ,互いに引き込み化を図ることによって,関係が成立し,より深いコミュニケーションが可能になる.テレビ会議等で円滑なインタラクションを実現させるには,この呼吸の引き込み化を図ることが大切で,呼吸の引き込みの評価がシステムの設計・評価に応用できる.本研究の成果は,身体的コミュニケーションにおける引き込み原理の解明とそれに基づくヒューマンインタフェース開発の基盤になるものである.The Entrainment which forms the biological relation between talkers plays an important role in the smooth exchange of information.In this paper,the physiological entrainment of respiration between talkers is evaluated on the basis of burst-pause of speech,respiration and heart rate variability as indices from the viewpoint that the respiratory entrainment would be a physiological main factor to make communication smooth in face-to-face interaction.By using the proposed physiological measurements of communication,the experiment is performed in adult face-to-face versus non-face-to-face communication and mother-infant interaction as a primitive form of communication.The existence of respiratory entrainment in face-to-face interaction is demonstrated by the cross-correlation analysis of indices.This finding suggests the entrainment is biologically essential to human communication and it could be applied to human interface for the design and evaluation of face-to-face interaction support systems such as a teleconference system.

We isolated a torenia mutant “Begonia” from selfed progeny of the mutable line “Flecked,” in which the ventral petal of the flower was converted into dorsal petal. In normal-type (NT) flowers, dorsal petals were pale violet and limbs of lateral and ventral petals were violet, whereas the ventral petal had a yellow nectar guide. In contrast, the ventral petal of mutant-type (MT) flowers changed to pale violet, and the nectar guide disappeared. These altered pigmentation patterns were observed from the early stage of corolla pigmentation. Expression analyses of the floral symmetry genes CYCLOIDEA (CYC), RADIALIS (RAD), and DIVARICATA (DIV) showed that TfCYC1, TfCYC2, TfCYC3, and TfRAD1 were mainly expressed in dorsal petals of NT flowers, but in the mutant, these genes were expressed in the ventral petal similar to dorsal ones. These results suggest that conversion of ventral to dorsal petal in the “Begonia” mutant is caused by high expression of TfCYC1, TfCYC2, TfCYC3, and TfRAD1 in the ventral petal, comparable to their expression in dorsal petals.

A new ortho-benzoyloxyphenyl acetic acid ester, called vaccihein A (1), was isolated from the fruit of rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei). The chemical structure was determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. Compound 1 had antioxidative activity using the ferric thiocyanate method. In addition, 1 showed a scavenging effect on the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl.

This article attempts to portray Yamagata Aritomo as a political leader by looking at his efforts to establish the legal framework for a system of local government for modern Japan. At present, there are no studies which probe the significance in Yamagata's long political career in establishing such a system. The author attempts to analyze its significance by illustrating Yamagata's enthusiasm for the project against a background of the contemporary political situation and his views on local government. The local government legal system in which Yamagata played a decisive role (laws pertaining to the organization of cities, town and villages, counties, and prefectures) is generally characterized as very centralized. But, as Kikegawa Hiroshi has poined out, bills drafted under the direction of Yamagata differ substantially from the actual laws promulgated. The author attempts to clarify the strength of Yamagata's political leadership by analyzing the source of these differences. Moreover, he evaluates Yamagata's views of local government as they are manifest through his proposals. The thesis begins with a consideration of the significance of Yamagata's sojourn to Europe from December, 1888 to October, 1889. In his absence from Tokyo, Yamagata missed such major events as the enforcement of laws for the organization of cities, and town and villages (April, 1889); deliberations in the genro council over the organization of counties and prefectures, and the promulgation of the constitution (February, 1889). The main purpose of Yamagata's travels was the inspection of European systems of local government. He was vety conscious of distinguishing himself from the genro, Ito Hirobumi and Inoue Kaoru, and confidently considered the bills under deliberation for the organization of counties and prefectures as his exclusive domain. In analyzing the diffefences between Yamagata's proposals and the final drafts of these laws, the author has discovered that Yamagata's absence from Tokyo paved the way for revisions by Ito, Inoue, Inoue Kowashi, Ito Miyoji, and Suematsu Kencho. Yamagata's overwhelming self-confidence led to a temporary lapse in his famed caution. The author then evaluates Yamagata's views on local government by looking at his opinions while abroad of reports on the situation in Japan. Yamagata considered an attitude of "lenience" and "benevolence to all" as crucial for statesmen and urged the necessity of political consciousness among the people. This made for an idealized image of local government, at the base of which lay a firm conviction in national growth, modernization and Westernization for Japan. The author concludes first that the establishment of a system of local government was the first project taken on by Yamagata which, coming at the outset of constitutional government, aimed at a personal transition from military to civilian leadership. As such, Yamagata viewed the project as on a par with Ito's drafting of the constitution. Second, compared to the laws actually passed, Yamagata's idealistic proposals, as Roesler points out, were too liberal and self-autonomous in nature. While in Europe, his proposals were revised along more practical, centralized lines. Third, although Yamagata's policies as seen in the effort to establish a system of local government were not adequately reflected in the organization of counties and prefectures, they are connected with his success in keeping the first Diet from dissolving. Moreover, a feeling of inferiority toward Ito et. al. in administrative matters prompted Yamagata to keep an eye out for possible advisers from among men of talent such as Tsuzuki Keiroku and to work on improving his own administrative skills.
