In data parallel programs incurring high cache locality, the choice of grain sizes affects cache performance. Though the grain sizes chosen provide fair load balance among processors, the grain sizes that ignore underlying caching effect result in address interferences between grains allocated to a processor. These address interferences appear to have a negative impact on the cache locality, since they result in cache conflict misses. To address this problem, we propose a best grain size driven from a cache size and the number of processors based on direct mapped cache's characteristic. Since the proposed method does not map the grains to the same location in the cache, cache conflict misses are reduced. Simulation results show that the proposed best grain size substantially improves the performance of tested data parallel programs through the reduction of cache misses on direct-mapped caches.

Determination of grain size of heat-treated stainless steel based fm digital ultrasonic signal processing technique is presented. This techniques consist in evidence accumulation with multiple feature parameters, difference absolute mean value(DAMV), variance(VAR), mean frequency (MEANF), auto regressive model coefficient(ARC) and linear cepstrum coefficient(LCC). Feature parameters were extracted from ultrasonic echo signal of heat-treated metals. It was found that a few parameters might not be sufficient to exactly evaluate the grain size of heat-treated metals. The determination of grain size of heat-treated metals was carried out through the evidence accumulation procedure using the distances measured with reference parameters. A fuzzy mapping function is designed to transform the distances for the application of the evidence accumulation method. In the work presented, heat-treated stainless steel samples with various grain sizes are examined. The processed experimental results supports the feasibility of the grain size determination technique presented.

배리어 프리미티브는 병렬 프로그램을 수행할 때 계산에 참여한 프로세서들 사이에 동기화를 위하여 사용된다. 그러나 배리어에 일찍 도착한 프로세서들은 나머지 프로세서들이 배리어에 도착할 때 까지 배리어에서 기다리게 되므로 프로세서들의 활용율이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 배리어 대기시간의 원인들을 찾기 위하여 병렬 프로그램들을 다양한 그레인 크기들로 수행하였다. 모든 프로세서들이 동일한 개수의 그레인들을 수행함에도 불구하고 그레인 크기에 따라 변화되는 명령어들과 캐쉬 실패들은 배리어 대기 시간에 영향을 미치고 있음을 시험한다. 또한 배리어에서의 맹목적 대기시간을 감소시키기 위하여 동기화 기능을 두 단계로 나누어 수행하는 두 단계 배리어를 제안한다. 모의 실험 결과는 병렬 프로그램의 그레인 크기는 배리어 대기시간에 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여주며 또한 제안된 두단계 배리어가 기존의 배리어 프리미티브보다 배리어에서의 대기시간을 줄여주고 있음을 보여준다.

The inspection of surface properties under n-octadecyltrichlorosilane treated $SiO_2$ film was carried out by current-voltage characteristic and the scanning electron microscope. The voltage at zero current in low electric field is the lowest at 0.3 % OTS treated $SiO_2$ film with hybrid type. $SiO_2$ films changed from inorganic to hybrid or organic properties according to the increase of OTS content. OTS treated $SiO_2$ films with hybrid properties decreased the leakage currents, and the grain size of pentacene deposited sample was also the most small at the hybrid properties. The perpendicular generation of pentacene molecular was related with the surface of insulators. The surface with hybrid properties decreased the grain size, but that with inorganic or organic properties increased the grain size.

그레자이트가 한국에서는 최초로 남동 황해 대륙붕의 준표층 니질퇴적물에서 발견되었다. 이 지역의 수심은 70~80m이며, 표층 퇴적물은 수십cm 두께의 사질과 니질퇴적물이 교호하는 것으로 보아 조류의 영향을 받은 홀로세의 해침에 의하여 형성된 것으로 보인다. 그레자이트 입자는 0.1~2mm의 크기에 구상의 형태로 산출되며 니질퇴적물 내에 산점상으로 산포되어 있거나 0.5cm 정도의 엽리를 형성하고 있다. 이 광물은 강한 자성을 가지고 있으며 육안으로는 검은색을 띄나, 반사현미경하에서는 황백색을 띠며 등방성을 보인다. 그레자이트의 화학조성은 Fe=54.36, S=42.37, As=0.14, Si=2.25 wt.%로서 S=4일 때의 화학식은 Fe2.95S4이다. X-선 회절분석에 의한 단위포의 크기는=9.8635$\AA$, V=959.6$\AA$3이며 밀도는 4.094 gm/cc이다. 이 광물은 산출상태, 조직적 특징 및 수반광물의 종류로 보아 생물의 활동에 의한 환원조건의 니질퇴적물 내에서 자생한 것으로 추정된다.

We developed an integrated design system for a solid rocket motors. We can do a conceptual design of a solid rocket motor easily and quickly with this system. It consists of four modules, or, size design, structure design, grain design and performance analysis module. Size design module determines the lengths and diameters of some major parts, which results in fixing the whole size of a motor. Structure design module has many master models, which enables a designer can do a conceptual design of almost parts of motor structures. Grain design module can design a solid fuel according to the result of structure design. Finally performance analysis module verifies the proposed design with the output from grain design module.

The data prefetching scheme is an effective technique to reduce the main memory access latency by exploiting the overlap of processor computations with data accesses. However, if the prefetched data replicate the useful existing data in the cache memory and they are not being used in computations. performances of programs are aggravated. This phenomenon results from the lack of correct predictions for data being used in the future. When parallel programs exploit the data arrays for computations, the grain size is useful information for data prefetching scheme because it implies the range of data using in computations. Based on this information, we suggest a new data prefetching scheme exploited by the grain size of the parallel program. Simulation results show that the suggested prefetching scheme improves the performance of the simulated parallel programs due to the reduction of bus transactions as well as useful prefetching operations.

Version control is an application to maintain consistency between different instances of the same document allowing operations such as navigation, differencing, and merging. Most version control systems, however, lack the support of functionality for cooperative writing environment, such as to represent and store the history of the actions of different individuals, to effectively differentiate and merge the individual actions including the text object, and to manage different access privileges for different granularity and individuals. With the help of Activity IDentification (AID) tag and its unique addressing scheme proposed in this paper, differencing and merging become simple and effective. Access and role control is improved by associating the access right table and role assignment in AID scheme also eliminates the requirements for large storage capacity for version information maintenance.

In this paper, we propose a Cassegrain antenna with a scalar feed horn opt rating in Ka-band. For an effective EM simulation of the Cassegrain antenna, the near-field of the feed hone is used ai the equivalent source of the Cassegrain antenna using the surface equivalent theorem. A corrugated circular horn operating with $HE_{11}$ mode is used as the feed horn. The angle and feed center of the main and sub reflectors are optimized to achieve maximum antenna efficiency. The designed feed horn shows the gain of 19dBi, the side-lobe level of less than -25dB and the half power beam width of $20^{\circ}$ at 33 GHz. The Cassegrain antenna shows the gain of 41dBi, the efficiency of 60%, the side-lobe level of less than -20dB and the half power beam width of $1.2^{\circ}$.

This work is to observe combustion characteristics depending on variation of the solid propellent grain configuration. The LRE (Liquid Rocket Engine) enables adjusting the thrust by controling the required fuel mass glow, but the SRM(Solid Rocket Motor)is not easy to adjust th thrust due to the difficulty of th fuel flow control by its combustion behavior even its configuration is simple. This difficulty can be partly solved by changing th size or the configuration of the propellant grain. In this study a proper grain configuration of a small solid rocket is selected through both the theoretical design and the experimental tests.
