와이드 이슈 슈퍼스칼라 프로세서에서 값 예측기는 한 명령어의 결과를 미리 예측하여 명령들 간의 데이터 종속관계를 극복하고 실행함으로써 명령어 수준 병렬성(Instruction Level Parallesim ILP)을 향상시키는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 명령어 수준 병렬성을 이용하여 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 데이터 값을 미리 예측하여 병렬로 이슈하고 수행하는 값 예측기의 성능을 비교분석 한다. 먼저 값 예측기 종류별로 성능을 측정한다 그리고 테이블의 갱신시점, 트레이스 캐시 유무 및 명령윈도우 크기에 따른 값 예측기의 성능영향을 평가분석 한다. 성능분석 결과 최근 값 예측기가 간소한 하드웨어 구성에도 불구하고 우수한 성능을 보였다. 그리고 예측테이블 갱신시점과 트레이스캐시의 사용이 값 예측기의 성능향상에 영향을 주었다.

슈퍼스칼라 프로세서 구조에서 명령어 실행을 수행하는 데 사용되는 자원은 그 양에 비해 실제로 활용된 자원의 양은 적다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 자원활용도를 보이는 자원을 활용하는 방안으로 슈퍼스칼라 프로세서를 멀티쓰레드 프로세서로 확장하는데 필요한 기본 데이터를 얻기 위해서 실제로 활용되는 자원의 양을 측정하여 어느 정도의 자원을 활용할 수 있는 지와 자원이 충분히 활용되지 못하는 원인을 분석하였다. 실험을 위해 RA(Resource Analyzer)를 구현하여 SimpleScalar 시뮬레이터에서 제공되는 명령어 파이프라인 트레이스 파일을 분석하여 각 파이프라인 단계에서 처리되는 자원의 활용도를 실험하였다. 자원 활용도가 낮은 원인을 분석하기 위해 프로그램 내에 존재하는 데이터 의존성과 여러 가지 미스 요인들의 비율을 실험을 통해 알아본 결과 IPC(Instruction Per Cycle)는 평균 0.6으로 나타났으며, EX단계의 평균 활용 빈도는 22.9%로 낮아 멀티쓰레드 처리의 필요성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the performance of a hybrid value predictor according to the instruction fetch rate on window size superscalar processors is evaluated. In general, the data dependency relations of instructions are increased with the number of the fetched instructions. Therefore, it is expected that the performance of a value predictor will be higher when the instruction fetch rate is increased. The performance is studied for the machine with collapsing buffer and he one with trace cache as an instruction fetch mechanism. As a result of experiment, it is showed that the performance effect of a value predictor is higher as the instruction fetch rate of instruction window size, IPC, predict rate on apply with non-tc and tc is increased.

Among the various seismic data processing sequences, the velocity analysis is the most time consuming and man-hour intensive processing steps. For the production seismic data processing, a good velocity analysis tool as well as the high performance computer is required. The tool must give fast and accurate velocity analysis. There are two different approches in the velocity analysis, batch and interactive. In the batch processing, a velocity plot is made at every analysis point. Generally, the plot consisted of a semblance contour, super gather, and a stack pannel. The interpreter chooses the velocity function by analyzing the velocity plot. The technique is highly dependent on the interpreters skill and requires human efforts. As the high speed graphic workstations are becoming more popular, various interactive velocity analysis programs are developed. Although, the programs enabled faster picking of the velocity nodes using mouse, the main improvement of these programs is simply the replacement of the paper plot by the graphic screen. The velocity spectrum is highly sensitive to the presence of the noise, especially the coherent noise often found in the shallow region of the marine seismic data. For the accurate velocity analysis, these noise must be removed before the spectrum is computed. Also, the velocity analysis must be carried out by carefully choosing the location of the analysis point and accuarate computation of the spectrum. The analyzed velocity function must be verified by the mute and stack, and the sequence must be repeated most time. Therefore an iterative, interactive, and unified velocity analysis tool is highly required. An interactive velocity analysis program, xva(X-Window based Velocity Analysis) was invented. The program handles all processes required in the velocity analysis such as composing the super gather, computing the velocity spectrum, NMO correction, mute, and stack. Most of the parameter changes give the final stack via a few mouse clicks thereby enabling the iterative and interactive processing. A simple trace indexing scheme is introduced and a program to nike the index of the Geobit seismic disk file was invented. The index is used to reference the original input, i.e., CDP sort, directly A transformation techinique of the mute function between the T-X domain and NMOC domain is introduced and adopted to the program. The result of the transform is simliar to the remove-NMO technique in suppressing the shallow noise such as direct wave and refracted wave. However, it has two improvements, i.e., no interpolation error and very high speed computing time. By the introduction of the technique, the mute times can be easily designed from the NMOC domain and applied to the super gather in the T-X domain, thereby producing more accurate velocity spectrum interactively. The xva program consists of 28 files, 12,029 lines, 34,990 words and 304,073 characters. The program references Geobit utility libraries and can be installed under Geobit preinstalled environment. The program runs on X-Window/Motif environment. The program menu is designed according to the Motif style guide. A brief usage of the program has been discussed. The program allows fast and accurate seismic velocity analysis, which is necessary computing the AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) based DHI (Direct Hydrocarn Indicator), and making the high quality seismic sections.

Recently, an on-chip compressed cache system was presented to alleviate the processor-memory Performance gap by reducing on-chip cache miss rate and expanding memory bandwidth. This research Presents an extended on-chip compressed cache system which also significantly expands main memory capacity. Several techniques are attempted to expand main memory capacity, on-chip cache capacity, and memory bandwidth as well as reduce decompression time and metadata size. To evaluate the performance of our proposed system over existing systems, we use execution-driven simulation method by modifying a superscalar microprocessor simulator. Our experimental methodology has higher accuracy than previous trace-driven simulation method. The simulation results show that our proposed system reduces execution time by 4-23% compared with conventional memory system without considering the benefits obtained from main memory expansion. The expansion rates of data and code areas of main memory are 57-120% and 27-36%, respectively.

Two representative residual static methods of traveltime decomposition and stack-power maximization are discussed in terms of application to land seismic data. For the model data with synthetic shot/receiver statics (time shift) applied and random noises added, continuities of reflection event are much improved by stack-power maximization method, resulting the derived time-shifts approximately equal to the synthetic statics. Optimal parameters (maximum allowable shift, correlation window, iteration number) for residual statics are effectively chosen with diagnostic displays of CSP (common shot point) stack and CRP (common receiver point) stack as well as CMP gather. In addition to removal of long-wavelength time shift by refraction statics, prior to residual statics, processing steps of f-k filter, predictive deconvolution and time variant spectral whitening are employed to attenuate noises and thereby to minimize the error during the correlation process. The reflectors including horizontal layer of reservoir are more clearly shown in the variable-density section through repicking the velocities after residual statics and inverse NMO correction.
