Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Cati tutorial
1. The Survey System Tutorial
CATI Surveys
The Survey System offers two kinds of telephone interviewing: desktop
CATI, in which interviewers are in a central location using PC software to
connect to a local server and web CATI, in which interviewers use their
browsers to connect to either an internal or external website. The two
versions work in a very similar manner, sharing almost all their features.
Both versions let you import a list of telephone numbers, optionally with
additional associated information, such as names. The Survey System then
presents the numbers to your interviewers and records the results of each
attempt to reach each phone number. The program can combine the
information you imported along with each person’s survey answers. It can
keep track of appointments to call people back at particular date and time
and provide a variety of reports about how your interviewers used your
sample.
Importing a Telephone Sample
The Survey System lets you import telephone numbers from an Excel file
or from a comma delimited text or CSV file. You must have Excel
installed on your PC in order to import an Excel file. In this tutorial we
will use a CSV file.
Select Supervisor/Sample Manager/Import from the
main menu.
Select the “CATI.CSV” file from the example files
included with The Survey System
2. 9-2 The Survey System Tutorial
The Sample File Importing Instructions screen will appear:
The first record in the source file is displayed at the top of the window. In
this case it shows labels such as “Phone Number,” and “Name,” because
this file includes those labels on its first line. The Survey System will
present these labels when you are using the Sample File information,
making it easier to know what each variable means. If you don’t have
these labels as the first record in your source file, you will see a record
with a phone number at the top of this window
Select First Record is Header.
We don’t need to change any other choices in this window.
Click OK to move to the Sample Specifications window:
3. CATI Surveys 9-3
The Number of Attempts field lets you choose how many attempts you
want to allow your interviewers to make to reach each telephone number.
More attempts will reduce any chance of bias resulting from interviewing
primarily easy-to-reach people, but at a cost of making the whole project
take longer.
The Callback Ownership Minutes field lets you reserve appointments to
call people back at particular dates and times for the interviewer who
originally made the appointment for however many minutes you enter.
We don’t need to change either of those fields at this time.
4. 9-4 The Survey System Tutorial
The Interviewer Comment Characters field lets you reserve space for
your interviewers to leave comments about their attempts to reach each
telephone number. These comments are attached to the telephone
numbers in the Sample File, rather than to records in the Data File,
because not every telephone number will have a data record. You can use
the interviewer comment special question to record comments during the
interview.
Enter “200” in the Interviewer Comment Characters
field.
We will not cover the other choices in this window in this tutorial. You
can see the Sample Specifications help topic to learn about them.
Click OK to import the file.
Introductory Text in the Call Window
The Call Window is the window that presents telephone numbers to your
interviewers. You can optionally display text you want your interviewers
to read before they actually start the first survey question in this window.
This text is contained in a file with the same name as your Question File,
but with an “ITR” extension, such as exam-1.ITR. You can create this
optional file with any text editor, including The Survey System’s
Utilities/New Text File. We have included one with the example files:
5. CATI Surveys 9-5
Hello &V.1&,
We are doing a short survey today and would like
to ask you some questions. Is this a convenient
time to talk?
Business size: &V.2&
Location code: &V.3&
The “&V.1&” will be replaced by the first imported variable, in this case
the respondent’s name. You can read about the rules for this file in the
Introductory Text in the Call Window help topic.
We will leave this text as it is.
The Question File
We are going to start with a sample Question File that is a shortened
version of the exam-1 file we used earlier this tutorial and add some
special questions most people use when doing CATI.
Use the question mark icon or File/Open Question File
and select the CATI Question File.
Double-click on the third question to open the Question
Instructions window, then click Next.
Select Special in the Kind of Question box.
6. 9-6 The Survey System Tutorial
Select Interviewer in the Special Type field. This special
question records which interviewer conducted the current
interview.
Click Next to move on to the next question, which is Date.
Then do it again to move on to Time.
Click Next again, and this time select Telephone Number.
Click Next again, and time select Imported Variable 1.
You will then see a pop-up message asking if you wish to use the variable
specifications from the Sample File you just imported.
Click Yes.
If you are using an Evaluation Edition copy of The Survey System, you
will next see a message telling you that the Question File has as many
questions as allowed in that edition. If you see this, just click OK.
Editing Result Codes
When we ship The Survey System, we include a list of 12 codes you can
use to record the results of each attempt to reach each telephone number.
These include choices like complete, schedule callback, nonworking
number and busy.
Select Supervisor/Sample Manager/Edit Result Codes
from the main menu.
The Result Codes window will appear:
7. CATI Surveys 9-7
You can use this window to change result code labels and add new results.
The Minutes to Next Attempt fields let you tell The Survey System how
soon after a particular result is recorded for a phone number should the
number of be available again. Enter “0” for final results – numbers that
won’t be called again.
You can save result code changes either as the new defaults for your
surveys or for just a particular survey. In the latter case you would use the
Save for Study button.
We are not going to make any changes here at this time.
Click Cancel.
8. 9-8 The Survey System Tutorial
Call Window Options
The main Utilities/Options window offers a variety of choices that can
influence the interview process and enable or disable features in the Call
window that your interviewers will see before making calls.
These options include letting interviewers search for particular phone
numbers, letting them edit the information for individual numbers and
changing the labels your interviewers will see and more. A discussion of
all these options would make this tutorial chapter too long. You can go to
this page of the Options window and use the F1 key to see the help topics
associated with your choices.
9. CATI Surveys 9-9
Interviewing
Your interviewers will be using Interview Stations, unless you are using
Web CATI, which we will discuss later in this tutorial. These stations
just let interviewers enter and edit data, not modify surveys or produce
reports. For now, we will use the equivalent data entry features in your
full copy of The Survey System.
Select Data/Interview/New from the main menu.
This will take you back to the Interviewing Choices window we saw in
the Entering Data chapter of this tutorial. Interview Stations also have a
copy of this window, but there is a way that we will describe later that you
can make the choices in this window for them and have them
automatically skipped over this window.
Make sure that “CATI”. Appears as the names of the
Question, Data and Sample Files.
Select Show Answer Grids.
Click OK.
If you have not previously entered an interviewer code
during your current session of The Survey System, it will
ask you to enter one. This is a 1-4 character code the
program will used to identify that you have made particular
call attempts and also optionally attach the code to the data
records via the interviewer special question. Enter some
characters and click OK.
Then click OK in the Questionnaire Number window.
10. 9-10 The Survey System Tutorial
Your copy might not display the Change Phone Number, Incoming Call
and Break buttons or the Previous Attempts area. These are all features
you can turn on or off on the Interview page of the Utilities/Options
window.
The upper part of this window shows the introductory text we assigned to
it earlier. It displays the person’s name and other information associated
with the telephone number.
The window then shows the telephone number and attempt number.
Below that are the currently available result codes. You can modify this
list of codes using Supervise/Sample Manager/Edit Result Codes.
Either click on 11 Busy or type 11 into the Result field.
11. CATI Surveys 9-11
Then click OK.
The Survey System will now show you the next telephone number and its
associated information.
Click in the Comments box and enter some text into the
Interviewer Comments window that pops up and click OK.
The text will then be copied into the Comments box,
preceded by your interviewer code.
Other interviewers encountering this same telephone number will see the
comment you just left.
Either click on 12 No answer or type 12 into the Result
field.
Then click OK.
When the next name and phone number appear, use the
Interview button.
Answer the survey questions as you choose.
When you return to the Call window, select 1 Complete as
the result.
Then click OK.
When the next number comes up, select 2 Schedule
callback as the result.
Then click OK.
12. 9-12 The Survey System Tutorial
The Make Callback Appointment window will appear:
Select a date and time in the future.
If you are in a country where they normally show some day other than
Sunday as the leftmost day on the calendar, you can choose which day to
display at the left in the Options window.
Then click OK to return to the Call Window for the next
phone number.
Now we’re going to illustrate continuing an interview started one time at a
later time.
Use the Interview button.
13. CATI Surveys 9-13
Answer questions 1 and 2.
Use the Skip button.
Use the Done button.
Select Schedule Callback as the result.
Normally you will be scheduling calls in the future, but this time leave the
default of the current date and time, so you can immediately see how you
continue an interview.
Use the OK button.
Now you will see the same telephone number and name appear, this time
with the notation Callback to the right of the Attempt number.
Use the Interview button.
The Survey System will take you back into that person’s survey and show
you Question 3.
Answer the question.
When you return to the Call Window, select 1 Complete.
Use the Cancel button to leave the window.
14. 9-14 The Survey System Tutorial
View Data
Now we will see how The Survey System copied information from the
Sample File into the Data File, along with the survey answers.
Select Data/View Data/By Question or use the View Data
File icon.
You will likely see different data, but you can see how the interviewer,
date and time of the interview, the telephone number and related
information have been copied into the Data File.
Reports
The Survey System provides a variety of reports on the use of the status of
your Sample Files. These include the results of each attempt to reach
each telephone number and summaries by interviewer and attempt
number. They also include various statistics relating to the call attempts
and a report on how many numbers are still available to call.
Select Supervise/Sample Manager/Report.
The report choices window will appear:
15. CATI Surveys 9-15
The Report Type choices show the different kinds of reports available.
We won’t discuss them all here. Please see the Sample File Reports help
topic for details.
The Show section offers some options for the different report types.
Options that do not apply to the currently selected report type are grayed
out.
You can limit reports to either an individual Days or range of days and
particular Hours of Day, if you wish.
Select Interviewer Summary as the Report Type and
Frequencies and Interviewer Hours as Show options.
Click Screen.
16. 9-16 The Survey System Tutorial
The report will look something like the following, though the details will
likely be different.
Sample File: sample Number of Numbers: 19 10/4/2016
All Calls
Total hz
---- ----
Hours .1 .1
Total Calls 6 6

No Answer 2 2
30 30
The Total column shows the numbers from all interviewers combined.
Then there is a column for each interviewer. In this case there is only a
single interviewer “hz.”
Because we selected the Interviewer Hours choice, there is an Hours row,
which shows how long each interviewer was logged in. The other rows
show how many times each interviewer recorded each result and also
17. CATI Surveys 9-17
shows them on a per hour basis. In the above example interviewer hz
recorded two completes at a rate of 30 per hour.
Click OK to return to the Report Choices window.
Select Call List as the Report Type.
Select Names, etc. as a Show option.
Click Screen.
This report shows the results of each attempt reach each telephone
number. Again, you will see different details. Each cell shows the date
and time of the call attempt, the interviewer who made the attempt and its
result. If the result was a completed survey, the report shows the ID
number assigned to the data record, instead of result code 1, as you can
see in the example below for Zheng He.
Your report will include all the telephone numbers. Only the top of the
report is presented here.

You can produce one or more of the other report types, if you like.
Web CATI
Interviewing with Web CATI is almost the same as interviewing with an
Interview Station. The big difference is that your interviewers would use
their browsers, rather than desktop software. Almost all the same features
apply to both versions.
If you only going to be using desktop Interview Stations, you can skip this
section of the tutorial.
Using Web CATI requires two extra set up steps. The first is to create a
web questionnaire. You can follow the exact same process as described
in the Web Survey chapter of this tutorial. The only differences are:
You must check the Include CATI Survey Button choice on the
General Format page of the Web Questionnaire Options window.
You must create a Participant File in which the first password
will be used by an administrator to produce online reports and
each of the other passwords will be used by an interviewer. These
passwords can be up to 25 characters long, the same as other
passwords. The Survey System will use the first four characters of
each password as interviewer IDs on reports. Then specify this
Participant File in the Create Web Questionnaire window.
You must specify a Study ID File in the Create Web
Questionnaire window.
19. CATI Surveys 9-19
You can use the CATI Participant File included with The Survey System.
The first participant in it is “aaa.” This is the administrator password.
The second and third participants in the file are “bbb” and “ccc.” These
are interviewers. If you create your own Participant File for web CATI,
be sure to specify a high Number of Questionnaires per Participant in
the Password Specifications window, so that you can use each password
many times.
If you are planning to use our surveydemo.com site to test web
CATI, you should copy the supplied CATI files and give them a
new name, so that your files don’t interfere with anyone else’s test
files. You can use File/Copy a file.
Copy the files, if necessary.
After you create the web questionnaire:
Click Supervise/Sample Manager/Set Up Web Call
Pages.
The Set Up Web Call Pages window will appear:
20. 9-20 The Survey System Tutorial
You need to enter the names of the Question, Interviewer Participant and
Sample files. The Interviewer Participant File must be the one you used
when creating the web questionnaire. As usual, the files you have been
using appear as defaults.
Enter the names of they don’t already appear.
You must use the same SSWEB URL and Data Path you used when
creating the web questionnaire for this study.
Enter the SSWEB URL and Data Path, if the correct ones
do not appear.
21. CATI Surveys 9-21
You do not need to enter any options, but you will likely find some useful.
You can use the same Web Questionnaire Options File you used when
creating the web questionnaire. The CATI choices and the questionnaire
choices do not interfere with each other. For now, though, you may want
to use the supplied CATI Web Questionnaire Options File.
Click Options.
The Web CATI Options window will appear:
Most of the options in this window affect the appearance of the Call page.
You can use the F1 key to learn more about them.
One of the other options is Respondents Continue Result Code. This
option lets your interviewers start a survey and then provide a link for the
respondent to continue that survey.
22. 9-22 The Survey System Tutorial
Another option is Server Time Zone Adjustment. This option is useful
if your server is located in another time zone, and you want the times
recorded in the Sample File to match your local time.
Click on the Page Setup tab.
One option on this page that you should consider is the number of Result
Code Columns. This determines how many columns are used to display
the result code choices. You can also choose how wide the columns
should be using the Column Width field.
Make any changes you like and click Save.
23. CATI Surveys 9-23
Click Create to create the pages.
Use View in Browser to see how the pages look. You can
change options and re-create them, if you wish.
Server Setup
If you are using Web CATI on your own server, you must upload the
TSS12S.cgi file to the same folder in which you previously copied
TSS12W.cgi. And as before you must tell Windows to let it execute,
using the exact same procedure you used for the earlier file.
After you have set up your server or chosen to use surveydemo.com, you
can use The Survey System’s Web/Transfer Files feature to send all the
required files to the site you are using. After you connect use the Send
Study and Send Sample buttons to upload the files.
24. 9-24 The Survey System Tutorial
If you are using your own server, you must also upload the
study ID file you created to the same folder on your server
as the CGI files. There is no specific button to do that.
You must first find your program folder (usually CGI-BIN)
and move to it using the Remote Folder list and the Change
Folder button. Then you can find the study ID file in the
Local Folder list, highlight it and double-click on it or use
the Send Selected File button to transfer it.
If you are testing The Survey System using surveysdemo.com, you will
be able to upload the call window and related windows to the trial folder
on that site and then see how the program displays phone numbers and
lets you record call results. You will not be able to use the Interview
button to start a survey, because due to security concerns we cannot allow
people who are using our test site to have access to the folder with the
program. This means that you will not be able to upload the study ID file
to the program folder, which means the call window will not be able to
find the survey.
Go to the first/login page and enter the second or third
password in the Participant File. If you used the supplied
CATI.csv to create your Participant File, the second
password is “bbb.”
Click OK to go to the Call Window.
You can then experiment.
If you would like to produce online Sample File reports, open the
first/login page again and use the first password in the Participant File. It
is “aaa” in the supplied file.
25. CATI Surveys 9-25
Other Features
The Survey System provides a variety of other ways to work with Sample
Files. These are beyond the scope of this tutorial, but we summarize them
here:
You can list the callback appointments and edit them, if needed.
You can merge two files. This ability can be very handy if you
need to add more telephone numbers to a particular project.
You can also create subsets of Sample Files.
You can randomize the numbers in your Sample File, if the source
list you imported had them in in order which could lead to biased
in your survey.
You can tell the program to enable the Autodial button in the Call
window to enable your interviewers to dial numbers by pressing
the button.
You can specify that only certain interviewers get certain
telephone numbers, either based on the results of prior calls or on
information you imported along with the telephone numbers. For
example you can direct Spanish-speaking respondents to Spanish-
speaking interviewers.
