International audience; Scientific research is becoming increasingly dependent on the large-scale analysis of data using distributed computing infrastructures (Grid, cloud, GPU, etc.). Scientific computing (Petitet et al. 1999) aims at constructing mathematical models and numerical solution techniques for solving problems arising in science and engineering. In this paper, we describe the services of an integrated portal based on the P-Grade (Parallel Grid Run-time and Application Development Environment) portal (http://www.p-grade.hu) that enables the solution of large-scale linear systems of equations using direct solvers, makes easier the use of parallel block iterative algorithm and provides an interface for parallel decision making algorithms. The ultimate goal is to develop a single sign on integrated multi-service environment providing an easy access to different kind of mathematical calculations and algorithms to be performed on hybrid distributed computing infrastructures combining the benefits of large clusters, Grid or cloud, when needed.

International audience; Community detection is a research area from network science dealing with the investigation of complex networks such as biological, social and computer networks, aiming to identify subgroups (communities) of entities (nodes) that are more closely related to each other than with remaining entities in the network [1]. Various community detection algorithms are used in the literature however the evaluation of their derived community structure is a challenging task due to varying results on different networks. In searching good community detection algorithms diverse comparison measures are used actively [2]. Information theoretic measures form a fundamental class in this discipline and have recently received increasing interest [3]. In this paper we first mention the usual evaluation measures used for community detection evaluation We then review the properties of f -divergence measures and propose the ones that can serve community detection evaluation. Preliminary experiments show the advantage of these measures in the case of large number of communities.

Energy consumption is a primary concern for datacenters? management. Numerous datacenters are relying on virtualization, as it provides flexible resource management means such as virtual machine (VM) checkpoint/restart, migration and consolidation. However, one of the main hindrances to server consolidation is physical memory. In nowadays cloud, memory is generally statically allocated to VMs and wasted if not used. Techniques (such as ballooning) were introduced for dynamically reclaiming memory from VMs, such that only the needed memory is provisioned to each VM. However, the challenge is to precisely monitor the needed memory, i.e., the working set of each VM. In this paper, we thoroughly review the main techniques that were proposed for monitoring the working set of VMs. Additionally, we have implemented the main techniques in the Xen hypervisor and we have defined different metrics in order to evaluate their efficiency. Based on the evaluation results, we propose Badis, a system which combines several of the existing solutions, using the right solution at the right time. We also propose a consolidation extension which leverages Badis in order to pack the VMs based on the working set size and not the booked memory. The implementation of all techniques, our proposed system, and the benchmarks we have used are publicly available in order to support further research in this domain.

International audience; Real world complex networks may contain hidden structures called communities or groups. They are composed of nodes being tightly connected within those groups and weakly connected between them. Detecting communities has numerous applications in different sciences such as biology, social network analysis, economics and computer science. Since there is no universally accepted definition of community, it is a complicated task to distinguish community detection algorithms as each of them use a different approach, resulting in different outcomes. Thus large number of articles are devoted to investigating community detection algorithms, implementation on both real world and artificial data sets and development of evaluation measures. In this article several state of the art algorithms and evaluation measures are studied which are used in clustering and community detection literature. The main focus of this article is to survey recent work and evaluate them using artificially generated networks.

International audience; The most important factor of High performance computing (HPC) systems nowadays is to limit or decrease the power consumption while preserving a high utilization. And with the availability of alternative energy, which powers such systems, there is a need to maximize the usage of alternative energy over brown power. For now, the usage of alternative energy is varying in time due to different factors such as sunny days, the wind, etc. and it is crucial to have an energy-aware algorithm to maximize the usage of this energy. In this paper a SaaS service is presented to optimize a usage of alternative energy, to reduce the power consumption and to preserve a best possible percentage of resource utilization.

International audience; The environmental protection is a dominant concern for all types of industries, organizations, and governments. In this regard, the reduction of the energy consumption is substantial in bringing down the CO2 gas emission, which is considered as an important factor causing global warming. The e-infrastructure service providers, such as National Research and Education Networks or National Grid Initiatives have crucial role in the context of energy awareness because the energy consumption of the networking, data, and computational infrastructures keeps increasing exponentially over the time. In addition to this, scientific gateways and cloud services are becoming more significant to tackle scientific and societal challenges. Therefore, there is a need to provide robust and reliable services taking into account energy consumption aspect of e-infrastructures. The aim of the article is to introduce an energy optimization methodology for the beneficiaries of the e-infrastructures to explore, optimize, and report the energy consumption and CO2 emission of data, computing, and networking facilities. The suggested methodology has been implemented within the Armenian e-infrastructure aiming at the reduction of the energy consumption and thereby the CO2 emission.

International audience; The power consumption of large-scale high performance computing (HPC) systems is becoming a crucial challenge in the context of increasing the performance regardless of energy consumption [1]. Therefore, finding ways to improve energy efficiency has become a main issue for HPC applications. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a widely used and powerful technique for reducing energy consumption in modern processors. The present paper investigates energy efficiency of 3D Classical Spin Glass [2], [3] application using the performance, ondemand and powersave modes of DVFS method. The series of experiments show that the execution time of OnDemand and PowerSave is the same, while the OnDemand mode is better due to the power consumption and frequency balance for the system.

Given a spanning forest on a large square lattice, we consider by combinatorial methods a correlation function of $k$ paths ($k$ is odd) along branches of trees or, equivalently, $k$ loop--erased random walks. Starting and ending points of the paths are grouped in a fashion a $k$--leg watermelon. For large distance $r$ between groups of starting and ending points, the ratio of the number of watermelon configurations to the total number of spanning trees behaves as $r^{-\nu} \log r$ with $\nu = (k^2-1)/2$. Considering the spanning forest stretched along the meridian of this watermelon, we see that the two--dimensional $k$--leg loop--erased watermelon exponent $\nu$ is converting into the scaling exponent for the reunion probability (at a given point) of $k$ (1+1)--dimensional vicious walkers, $\tilde{\nu} = k^2/2$. Also, we express the conjectures about the possible relation to integrable systems., Comment: 27 pages, 6 figures

- Abstract
Background and Aim: With the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), antiviral drug development has gained increased significance due to the high incidence and potentially severe complications of the resulting coronavirus infection. Heterocycle compounds, acting as antimetabolites of DNA and RNA monomers, rank among the most effective antiviral drugs. These compounds' antiviral effects on various SARS-CoV-2 isolates, as found in existing data collections, form the basis for further research. The aim of this study was to examine the possible antiviral effect of some originally synthesized heterocyclic compounds., Materials and Methods: The main methods were cell culturing, cytotoxicity assay, qRT-PCR assay, tissue and blood cells analysis, and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging., Results: In both in vitro and in vivo conditions, the elimination of SARS-Cov-2 occurred significantly earlier after administration of the compounds compared to the control group. In hamsters, the primary symptoms of coronavirus disease disappeared following administration of heterocycle compounds., Conclusion: Using delta and omicron strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, newly created heterocycle compound analogs dramatically reduced SARS-CoV-2 multiplication, resulting in a drop in viral RNA load in the supernatant under in vitro conditions. Improvements in pathological manifestations in the blood, bone marrow, and internal organs of hamsters demonstrated that heterocycle compounds inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication both in vitro and in vivo ., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no competing interests., (Copyright: © Aleksandr, et al.)

- Abstract
One hundred patients with ischemic heart disease and 70 healthy subjects were on unified regimen. Urine was collected with 4-h proportions during 3-5 days (72-120 h). Each portion of urine was analyzed for macro- (Na, K, P, Cl, Ca, Mg) and microelements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, V). Temporal structure (biological and hydrometeorological indices) parameters have been estimated by nonlinear least squares method for sinusoidal rhythms and dispersion analysis for nonsinusoidal rhythms. Data of weather indices were received from the hydrometeorological service of the Republic of Armenia in 2015 at 3-h intervals. Statistically significant rhythms were observed in healthy subjects in 91% cases of 593 rhythmological investigations of water-mineral homeostasis. Acrophases of water-mineral homeostasis mostly had individual nature. Healthy subjects' rhythms of water-mineral excretion were depending on rhythms of hydrometeorological indices and were characterized with significant correlative connections. Acrophases of indices of water-mineral homeostasis mostly were outstripping the acrophases of the rhythms of hydrometeorological indices. Chronostructure of water-mineral homeostasis in patients with ischemic heart disease was characterized with infradian and circadian fluctuations. In case of individuals with ischemic heart disease, statistically significant correlative connections between rhythms of water-mineral excretion and rhythms of hydrometeorological indices differ in comparison with the results of practically healthy individuals. In patients with ischemic heart disease, acrophases of biorhythms often were concurrent or delayed relative to the acrophases of the rhythms of hydrometeorological indices.

- Abstract
Aim: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis was used to infer the evolutionary dynamics of Asfarviridae - African swine fever virus (ASFV) - and better define its genetic diversity., Materials and Methods: All complete ASFV genomes from NCBI's resource as of March 2020 were used. The phylogenetic analysis used maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining methods. The evolutionary models detection was done with the help of the package of programs MEGA-X. Algorithms were used to build phylogenetic trees for type B DNA polymerases of ASFV (n=34) and HcDNAV (n=2), as an external group., Results: An expedient categorization of the Asfarviridae family uses five clades. Genotype 1 (except for LIV 5/40 virus isolate) as well genotype 7 are assigned to the alpha clade; genotype 2 to the beta clade; genotypes 8, 9, and 10 to the gamma clade; genotype 5 to the delta clade; and genotypes 3, 4, and 20, as well as genotype 22 and the LIV 5/40 isolate to the epsilon clade. Branch lengths on the phylogenetic tree are proportional to genetic distance along the branch. Branches at the phylogenetic tree of Asfarviridae are much shorter than branches for Baculoviridae. Shorter branches in ASFVs population suggest that Asfarviridae evolved relatively recently and remain more closely related., Conclusion: We suggest applying more robust standards using whole genomes to ensure the correct classification of ASFV and maintain phylogeny as a useful tool., (Copyright: © Aslanyan, et al.)

- Abstract
We consider the Abelian sandpile model (ASM) on the square lattice with a single dissipative site (sink). Particles are added one by one per unit time at random sites and the resulting density of particles is calculated as a function of time. We observe different scenarios of evolution depending on the value of initial uniform density (height) h(0). During the first stage of the evolution, the density of particles increases linearly. Reaching a critical density ρ(c)(h(0)), the system changes its behavior and relaxes exponentially to the stationary state of the ASM with density ρ(s). Considering initial heights -1 ≤ h(0) ≤ 4, we observe a dramatic decrease of the difference ρ(c)(h(0)) - ρ(s) when h(0) is zero or negative. In parallel with the ASM, we consider the conservative fixed energy sandpile (FES). The extensive Monte Carlo simulations show that the threshold density ρ(th)(h(0)) of the FES converges rapidly to ρ(s) for h(0) < 1.
