  • Publication number: 20240129195
    Abstract: Described is a novel framework, we call intent-based computing jobs assignment framework, for efficiently accommodating a clients' computing job requests in a mobile edge computing infrastructure. We define the intent-based computing job assignment problem, which jointly optimizes the virtual topology design and virtual topology mapping with the objective of minimizing the total bandwidth consumption. We use the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) technique to formulate this problem, and to facilitate the optimal solution. In addition, we employ a novel and efficient heuristic algorithm, called modified Steiner tree-based (MST-based) heuristic, which coordinately determines the virtual topology design and the virtual topology mapping. Comprehensive simulations to evaluate the performance of our solutions show that the MST-based heuristic can achieve an efficient performance that is close to the optimal performance obtained by the ILP solution.

    Abstract: An anisotropic bonded magnet and a preparation method thereof are provided. By stacking magnets having different magnetic properties and/or densities, the magnets in the middle have high properties and the magnets at two ends and/or the periphery have low properties, thereby compensating for a property deviation caused by a difference in pressing densities during a pressing process, and improving the property uniformity of the magnets in an axial direction. The method solves the problem of “low in the middle and high at two ends” caused by the phenomenon of non-uniform magnetic field orientation and density along a height direction during orientation and densification.
