Abstract: An access optimization method for a main memory database based on page-coloring is described. An access sequence of all data pages of a weak locality dataset is ordered by page-color, and all the data pages are grouped by page-color, and then all the data pages of the weak locality dataset are scanned in a sequence of page-color grouping. Further, a number of memory pages having the same page-color are preset as a page-color queue, in which the page-color queue serves as a memory cache before a memory page is loaded into a CPU cache; the data page of the weak locality dataset first enters the page-color queue in an asynchronous mode, and is then loaded into the CPU cache to complete data processing. Accordingly, cache conflicts between datasets with different data locality strengths can be effectively reduced.

With this method, an OLAP query is divided into a bitmap filtering operation, a group-by operation and an aggregate operation. In the bitmap filtering operation, a predicate is first executed on a dimension table to generate a predicate vector bitmap, and a join operation is converted, through address mapping of a surrogate key, into a direct dimension table tuple access operation; in the group-by operation, a fact table tuple satisfying a filtering condition is pre-generated into a group-by unit according to a group-by attribute in an SQL command and is allocated with an increasing ID; and in the aggregate operation, group-by aggregate calculation is performed according to a group item of a fact table filtering group-by vector through one-pass column scan on a fact table measure attribute.

Abstract: An OLAP query processing method oriented to a database and Hadoop hybrid platform is described. When OLAP query processing is performed, the processing is executed first on a main working copy, and a query processing result is recorded in an aggregate result table of a local database; when a working node is faulty, node information of a fault-tolerant copy corresponding to the main working copy is searched for through namenode, and a MapReduce task is invoked to complete the OLAP query processing task on the fault-tolerant copy. The database technology and the Hadoop technology are combined, and the storage performance of the database and the high expandability and high availability of the Hadoop are combined; the database query processing and the MapReduce query processing are integrated in a loosely-coupled mode, thereby ensuring the high query processing performance, and ensuring the high fault-tolerance performance.

The input side of the AC/DC conversion module is electrically connected between the converter and the wind power generator, and the output side is coupled to an excitation device. The AC/DC conversion module is used to convert the AC power from the wind power generator into a DC voltage, and provides an excitation current for the wind power generator using the DC voltage.

Abstract: A wind-power generation system with an over-speed protection is disclosed. The system is provided to convert wind energy into mechanical energy by a wind turbine, and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy by the wind turbine driving a generator. Also, electric energy is delivered to a power grid. The wind-power generation system mainly includes an AC crowbar, a fuse, and a DC chopper. The AC crowbar or the DC chopper is provided to consume superfluous energy outputted from the generator, thus providing an over-load operation to brake the wind turbine when the wind turbine operates under a first stage over-speed operation. Finally, the generator is isolated from the generator-side converter by disconnecting the fuse when the wind turbine operates under a second stage over-speed operation.

As such, the user is presented with query results that include images that prominently display the object near the top of the results.
