멀티프로세서에서 시스템의 병렬성을 향상시키기 위해서 멀티스레드 프로그램을 이용한다. 이러한 멀티스레드 프로그램은 스레드간 역할을 분담하여 작업을 진행하게 된다. 멀티스레드 프로그램에는 생산자-소비자 구조가 있다. 기존 메모리할당자들은 생산자-소비자 구조에 대한 연구가 진행되지 않고, 크리티컬 섹션이 긴 락을 사용하여 성능상에 문제가 있다. 우리는 이러한 문제점을 독특한 메모리 해제 방법을 통해 해결하였고, 실험을 통해 메모리 할당자의 속도가 향상되는 것을 검증하였다.

낮은 오버헤드를 갖는 실시간 스케줄링 알고리즘은 멀티코어 프로세서가 임베디드 시스템에서 사용되기 위한 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 멀티코어 환경에서 스케줄링 오버헤드는 주로 메모리 성능을 저해시키는 코어간 태스크 이동에 의해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 이용률 면에서 최적으로 알려진 Pfair 스케줄링 알고리즘을 스케줄링 시에 태스크의 CPU 코어 할당 방식에 대해 스케줄링 오버헤드를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 동일 코어 기반 태스크 할당 방식을 도입함으로 인해서 태스크 이동 횟수를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 보여주었다.

Caches in a multiprocessing environment introduce the cache coherence problem. When multiple processors maintain locally cached copies of a unique shared-memory location, any local modification of the location can result in a globally inconsistent view of memory. Cache coherence protocols are important to operate a shared-memory multiprocessor system with efficiency and correctness. Since random testing and simulations are not enough to validate correctness of protocols, it is necessary to develop efficient and reliable verification methods. In this appear we present our experience in using VIS (Verification Interacting with Synthesis), a tool of formal method, to analyze a number of property of a cache coherence protocol, RACE (Remote Access Cache coherent Enforcement).

In this paper, we propose a VLSI architecture of an LMS filter based on a Cyclo-static scheduler for fast computation of LMS filteing algorithm which is widely used in adptive filtering area. This process is composed of two steps: scheduling and circuit synthesis. The scheduling step accepts a fully specified flow graph(FSFG) as an input, and generates an optimal Cyclo-static schedule in the sense of the sampling rate, the number of processors, and the input-output delay. Then the generated schedule is transformed so that the number of communication edges between the processors. The circuit synthesis part translates the modified schedule into a complete circuit diagram by performing resource allocations. The VLSI layout generation can be performed easily by an existing silicon compiler.

Recently with the explosive growth of Internet applications, the attacks of hackers on network are increasing rapidly and becoming more seriously. Thus information security is emerging as a critical factor in designing a network system and much attention is paid to Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), which detects hackers' attacks on network and handles them properly However, the performance of current intrusion detection system cannot catch the increasing rate of the Internet speed because most of the NIDSs are implemented by software. In this paper, we propose a new high performance network intrusion using Network Processor. To achieve fast packet processing and dynamic adaptation of intrusion patterns that are continuously added, a new high performance network intrusion detection system using Intel's network processor, IXP1200, is proposed. Unlike traditional intrusion detection engines, which have been implemented by either software or hardware so far, we design an optimized architecture and algorithms, exploiting the features of network processor. In addition, for more efficient detection engine scheduling, we proposed task allocation methods on multi-processing processors. Through implementation and performance evaluation, we show the proprieties of the proposed approach.

Due to the recent advances in IoT technologies, reducing power consumption in battery-based IoT devices becomes an important issue. An IoT device is a kind of real-time systems, and processor voltage scaling is known to be effective in reducing power consumption. However, recent research has shown that power consumption in memory increases dramatically in such systems. This paper aims at combining processor voltage scaling and low-power NVRAM technologies to reduce power consumption further. Our main idea is that if a task is schedulable in a lower voltage mode of a processor, we can expect that the task will still be schedulable even on slow NVRAM memory. We incorporate the NVRAM memory allocation problem into processor voltage scaling, and evaluate the effectiveness of the combined approach.

Among the operations in frequency domain for ADSL G.LITE Modem to perform, FFT and FEQ are most computation-intensive part, of which many researches have been focused on the efficient implementation. Previous papers suggested hardwares suitable for ADSL G.DMT system, which is not feasible for simple G.LITE system. The analysis of frequency domain operations and computational efficiency according to the allocation of hardware resources is performed in this paper. The suggested processor has the structure of one real multiplier and two real adders connected in parallel, which can perform the operations efficiently through the pipeline- and/or parallel-type job scheduling. The suggested processor uses less hardware resources than Kiss\`s ALU structure or FFT/IFFT processor suggested by Wang, so the suggested one is more suitable for G.LITE system than previous works.

Improving operating frequency of processors is no longer today's issues; a multiprocessor technique which integrates many processors has received increasing attention. Currently, high-performance processors that integrate 64 or 128 cores are developing for large data processing over 2, 4, or 8 processor cores. This paper proposes an optimal many-core processor for synthesizing guitar sounds. Unlike the previous research in which a processing element (PE) was assigned to support one of guitar strings, this paper evaluates the impacts of mapping different numbers of PEs to one guitar string in terms of performance and both area and energy efficiencies using architectural and workload simulations. Experimental results show that the maximum area energy efficiencies were achieved at PEs=24 and 96, respectively, for synthesizing guitar sounds with sampling rate of 44.1kHz and 16-bit quantization. The synthesized sounds were very similar to original guitar sounds in their spectra. In addition, the proposed many-core processor was 1,235 and 22 times better than TI TMS320C6416 in area and energy efficiencies, respectively.

In this paper, I develop a simple dynamic resource allocation algorithm that reduces the call blocking rate by improving the resource utilization of the WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) systems under multimedia service environment. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the blocking rate of high speed multimedia calls. The algorithm developed in this paper is currently working in the commercial WCDMA IMT-2000 system.

Woo[8]proposed dual-token based fault-tolerant scheduling algorithm in multiprocessor environment for resolving the problem of old systems that have a central dispatcher processor. However, this algorithm does not present token allocation algorithm in detail when central dispatcher processor has failed. In this paper, we propose a fault detection algorithm and processor selection algorithm for token allocation when central dispatcher processor has failed.
