Nowadays, most of researches about social network use data from foreign social network platforms. However the largest social network platform Sina Weibo in China has no data interfaces for investors. A Sina Weibo data crawler combined with parallelization technology was put forward. It got fans information and Weibo data content of different weibo users in real-time. It also supported key words matching and parallelization. The serial data crawler and its parallel version were compared, and an experiment about flu was conducted on some Weibo data. The results indicate that, with parallelization, this tool has liner speedup and all the fetching data are with timeliness and accuracy.
In order to reduce the time complexity of biological networks alignment, an implementation for large scale biological networks alignment based on Scalable Protein Interaction Network Alignment (SPINAL) in Message Passing Interface (MPI) program was proposed. Based on MPI, the SPINAL algorithm combined with parallelization method was applied into this approach. Instead of serial algorithm, parallel sorting algorithm was used in multi-core environment. Load balancing strategy was chosen to assign tasks reasonably. In the processing of large scale biological networks alignment, the experiment shows that, compared with the algorithm without parallelization and load balancing strategy, this proposed algorithm can reduce the runtime and improve computation efficiency effectively.
