Many studies have utilized GPGPU (General-Purpose Graphic Processing Unit) and its high computing power to compute complex tasks. The characteristics of GPGPU programs necessitate the operations of memory copy between the host and device. A high latency period can affect the performance of the program. Thus, it is required to significantly improve the performance of GPGPU programs by optimizations. By executing multiple GPGPU programs simultaneously, the latency hiding effect of memory copy is achieved by overlapping the memory copy and computing operations in GPGPU. This paper presents the results of analyzing the latency hiding effect for memory copy operations. Furthermore, we propose a performance anticipation model and an algorithm for the limitations of using pinned memory, and show that the use of the proposed algorithm results in a 41% performance increase.

Effects of radiation on the wall-friction and heat transfer in the convergent and divergent nozzle of a rocket motor are investigated in the present paper. Radiative heat transfer cools down the core gas, and the decrease in the gas temperature reduces the convective heat transfer on the wall. Radiation heat transfer is estimated by using mean-beam-length approach and core flow is assumed to be one-dimensional isentropic. The compressible thermal boundary layer is solved by a finite difference method. The Cebeci-Smith eddy viscosity model is adopted for the present study. Convective heat transfer is reduced at the throat of the nozzle and is almost compensated with an increase in radiative transfer. In the sequel total heat transfer rate is slightly reduced. However, radiation heat transfer is dominant in the converging part of the nozzle.

To effectively utilize a flash and predict its effects on an infrared device, it is essential to know the infrared characteristics of the flash source. In this paper, a study of the IR characteristics of flash light sources is carried out. The IR characteristics of three flash sources, of which two are combustive and the other is explosive, are measured with an IR characteristic measurement system over the middle- and long-wavelength infrared ranges. From the measurements, the radiances over the two IR ranges and the radiative temperatures of the flashes are extracted. The IR radiance of flash A is found to be the strongest among the three, followed by those of sources C and B. It is also shown that the IR radiance of flash A is about 10 times stronger than that of flash B, even though these two sources are the same type of flash with the same powder. This means that the IR radiance intensity of a combustive flash source depends only on the amount of powder, not on the characteristics of the powder. From the measured radiance over MWIR and LWIR ranges for each flashes, the radiative temperatures of the flashes are extracted by fitting the measured data to blackbody radiance. The best-fit radiative temperatures (equivalent to black-body temperatures) of the three flash sources A, B, and C are 3300, 1120, and 1640 K respectively. From the radiance measurements and radiative temperatures of the three flash sources, it is shown that a combustive source radiates more IR energy than an explosive one; this mean, in turn, that the effects of a combustive flash on an IR device are more profound than those of an explosive flash source. The measured IR radiances and radiative temperatures of the flash sources in this study can be used to estimate the effects of flashes on various IR devices, and play a critical role for the modeling and simulation of the effects of a flash source on various IR devices.

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the effects of the spray characteristics of water mist on the attenuation of thermal radiation. The attenuation process of the thermal radiation, generated from a hot surface panel, passing through the water mist was calculated via Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), and the effects of the flow rate, droplet mean diameter, and spray injecting angle of the water mist were analyzed. The results indicated that the increase in flowrate and decrease in droplet size led to an increase in the attenuation of thermal radiation. As the thermal radiation passed through the spray droplets, the effect of the spatial distribution of spray droplets was verified by calculating the thermal radiation attenuation at different spray injecting angles. The results indicated that the radiation attenuation increases as the spray angle increases. This implies that a wider distribution of spray droplets, irrespective of the droplet size and flowrate, increases the attenuation effect on thermal radiation.

Effect of radiation models on the suppression limits in counterflow $CH_4$/air diffusion flame was numerically investigated with fundamental experiments for the numerical validation. $N_2$ and $CO_2$ were considered as extinguishing agents. The differences in extinguishing concentration between OTM and SNB radiation models which have different accuracy levels were examined. As a result, there is no considerable difference in extinguishing concentration for the $N_2$ dilution as the radiation models with different accuracy levels were used. As the $CO_2$ having strong radiative effect was diluted in the low strain flames, however, the radiation model with high predictive accuracy such as SNB should be used. In particular, the $CO_2$ dilution in fuel stream leads to the significant difference in extinguishing concentration between OTM and SNB models. Therefore, it is necessary that the radiation model should be reasonably chosen with the consideration of numerical accuracy and computational time for the prediction of extinguishing concentration.

Comparison calibration equipment for infrared-radiation thermometers below $0^{\circ}C$ has been established, using a TRT2 (transfer radiation thermometer 2, HEITRONICS) as a transfer standard and an ME30 (Model: ME30, HEITRONICS) as a variabletemperature blackbody. The TRT2 was calibrated using three fixed points (Ice ($0.01^{\circ}C$), In ($156.5985^{\circ}C$), and Sn ($231.928^{\circ}C$)) and the Planckian Sakuma-Hattori equation, and including the interpolation and extrapolation errors at $-50^{\circ}C$ in the uncertainty. The pneumatic lid is installed upon opening of the ME30 and is opened for only 30 seconds for measuring the radiation temperature, which prevents formation of ice in the ME30 and also reduces the calibration time to half. The farther away from the $0{\sim}232^{\circ}C$ region, the larger the uncertainty of the comparison calibration equipment becomes. The expanded uncertainty of the comparison calibration equipment was estimated as 0.26 K at $-20^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the effects of the surface topographical characteristics on the meteorological fields are examined in a mesoscale meteorlolgical model. We calculated the direct solar radiation using the illumination angle considering the inclination of topography and tried to find out its effect on meteorological fields. In above experiments, we selected two cases for the clear day and the cloudy day to show the effect of weather and represented the results for two cases. In the correction of the direct solar radiation, the results of two cases indicate that there are obvious differences on the steep Taeback and Soback mountains. And on the time-series analysis the east-facing slope of these mountains receives the more direct solar radiation about $10-60W/m^2$ in the morning hours but lesser in the afternoon hours than the horizontal surface while it is opposite on the west-facing slope. And the results mentioned above are more obvious at clear day. With the same analysis method, at clear day, the surface skin temperature is higher at all hours than that on horizontal surface on the both of slope. At cloudy and rainy day, the surface skin temperature on the east-facing slope is higher in the morning hours but lower in the afternoon hours than that on horizontal surface. But on the west-facing slope, it is higher at all hours than that on horizontal surface. In the two cases, the temperature considering the slope of surface is almost higher than that on the horizontal surface. The wind is stronger than that on the horizontal surface with increasing pressure gradient force according as increasing temperature gradient around the Taeback and the Soback mountains.

Steam power generation is used to produce electricity through a generator that is connected to a steam turbine. As a result, the surface temperature of the deaerator is $70^{\circ}C$during the summer season, the surface temperature of the storage tank is $67^{\circ}C$, and the air temperature is $50^{\circ}C$. This environment is inappropriate for workers and instruments. Workers adjacent to the deaerator and storage tank in particular feel higher temperatures because of the radiative heat transfer effect. Therefore, we optimized the cooling conditions by computational analysis. Case 1 is the current shape of the power plant, Case 2 has additional insulation, and Case 3 has a radiation shield. Flow is caused by a temperature difference between the heat sources in the wall, and hot air is trapped in the right upper end. Based on the temperature contours and the maximum temperature of the surfaces, Case 2 was found to be the most efficient for reducing radiative heat transfer effects.

본 논문에서는 분산 공유 메모리(distributed shared memory) 시스템에서 데이터의 일치성(consistency)을 마감시간(deadline) 이내에 완료하기 위해서 새로운 실시간 프로토콜을 제안한다. 분산 공유 메모리 시스템에서 사용되는 공유 데이터는 여러 시스템에 복제를 할 수 있기 때문에 이들간 일치성을 효과적으로 유지시키기 위한 여러 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 기존의 방법들은 평균 액세스 비용을 단축시키기 위한 것이고 프로토콜에 따라 서로 다른 복사본의 개수를 갖게 되며 일치성 유지를 위한 비용은 시스템이 갖고 있는 복사본의 개수에 따라 증가한다. 각 노드가 서로 다른 데드라인을 갖는 실시간 분산시스템에서는 일치성 유지를 주어진 데드라인이내에 완료하기 위해서는 일치성 유지를 위한 비용을 줄이는 것도 요구되지만 데드라인이 상대적으로 급한 노드에 대한 우선적인 처리가 요구된다. 실시간 프로토콜에서는 각 분산 시스템에서 데드라인이 상대적으로 급한 노드가 항시 복사본을 갖게 하고 전체 복사본의 개수를 제한한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 실시간 프로토콜의 성능향상을 확인하였다.

Procedures for estimation of insulation thickness for a horizontal pipe for condensation control or personnel protection has been investigated, parallel to the previous work of a vertical wall case. Parameters include pipe diameter, emissivity, thermal conductivity, and operating temperatures. The results indicated that the surface emissivity plays a very important role in the design of insulation, specially for the case of high temperature application with low Bi. The effect of surface radiation in such case could be up to 65% of the total. Required insulation thickness for the surface temperature control increases as pipe diameter increases and as surface emissivity decreases. Adequate revision of specifications or standards to include newly invented insulation materials with high emissivity has been also suggested.
