Due to the introduction of auxiliary components in fuel cell vehicle powertrains and absence of internal combustion engine, the vibration sources and transfer paths are very different from conventional vehicles. These vibrations interact on the output performance of the fuel cell system.
Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the vibration characteristics of the fuel cell system under vehicle operating conditions. IPEK conducted vehicle measurements regarding different driving manoeuvres and environments. In order to quantitatively evaluate contributions of each vibration
source on the total vibration of fuel cell, frequency-domain contribution was investigated based on Operational Transfer Path Analysis method with the singular value decomposition as well as principal component. The results of vibration in Z-direction in the vehicle coordinate system show
that the hydrogen pump dominantly contributes to the vibration of fuel cell in a wide range of frequency in the majority of the driving manoeuvres. However, the results vary in various driving manoeuvres, environments and frequencies. The Paper will discuss in detail the vibrational contributions
in X-, Y- and Z-direction.
Flash-based key-value (KV) caching has received increasing attention in recent years with the advantages of flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) in capacity and cost. By caching most data in SSD, the caching system can eliminate lots of time-consuming requests to back-end data stores to provide low-latency services. To adapt to the unique technical constraints of flash memory, flash-based KV caching adopts a slab-based log-structured management scheme in which the slab is the basic storage unit, and uses a small memory space as a write buffer to eliminate small random writes to SSD for consistent performance and increased lifetime of SSD. However, we have observed that under update-intensive workloads with strong temporal locality, the slab-based management in flash-based KV caching introduces substantial SSD write traffic because of indistinguishable SSD flushing of hot items in slabs, which shortens the SSD lifetime and degrades the performance with increased erase operations. In this article, we first analyze the SSD write traffic in the flash-based KV caching, and then propose a novel slab popularity-based storage management scheme-SPOPB, to extend SSD lifetime and improve performance. Our scheme identifies hot items using a self-adaptive threshold to reorganize and classify slabs with both the hotness and size of items. Then SPOPB filters and retains the popular slabs containing hot items in the write buffer with redesigned replacement policy to reduce the SSD write traffic. Our experiments show that our design can effectively reduce the SSD write traffic by 63.6%, the erase counts by 55.6%, and improve the performance by 42%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
