  • 본 논문에서는 전용하드웨어를 사용하지 않는 새로운 구조의 범용 그래픽 쉐이더 프로세서를 제안한다. 최근 모바일 기기에서는 고성능을 유지하면서 저전력의 작은 크기를 가지는 그래픽 프로세서를 요구한다. 제안하는 쉐이더 프로세서는 OpenGL ES 2.0 그래픽 파이프라인 전체를 쉐이더 명령어로 실행할 수 있는 GP-GPU 구조를 갖는다. 프로그램을 구현하여 하나의 프로세서로 모든 그래픽 파이프라인 처리가 가능하기 때문에 Rasterization Unit과 같은 별도의 전용 하드웨어를 필요로 하지 않는다. 따라서 쉐이더 프로세서 하나로 Fully Programmable 3D Graphics Engine 구현이 가능하며 기존 쉐이더 프로세서에 비해 하드웨어 크기를 60% 줄였다.

  • Modern mobile devices are equipped with various accelerated processing units to handle computationally intensive applications; therefore, Open Computing Language (OpenCL) has been proposed to fully take advantage of the computational power in heterogeneous systems. This article introduces a parallel software decoder of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes on an embedded heterogeneous platform using an OpenCL framework. The LDPC code is one of the most popular and strongest error correcting codes for mobile communication systems. Each step of LDPC decoding has different parallelization characteristics. In the proposed LDPC decoder, steps suitable for task-level parallelization are executed on the multi-core central processing unit (CPU), and steps suitable for data-level parallelization are processed by the graphics processing unit (GPU). To improve the performance of OpenCL kernels for LDPC decoding operations, explicit thread scheduling, vectorization, and effective data transfer techniques are applied. The proposed LDPC decoder achieves high performance and high power efficiency by using heterogeneous multi-core processors on a unified computing framework.

  • A new-generation video coding standard, named High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), has recently been developed by JCT-VC. This new standard provides a significant improvement in picture quality, especially for high-resolution videos. However, one the most important challenges in HEVC is time complexity. A quadtree-based structure is created for the encoding and decoding processes and the rate-distortion (RD) cost is calculated for all possible dimensions of coding units in the quadtree. This provides a high encoding quality, but also causes computational complexity. We focus on a reduction scheme of the computational complexity and propose a new approach that can terminate the quadtree-based structure early, based on the RD costs of the parent and current levels. Our proposed algorithm is compared with HEVC Test Model version 10.0 software and a previously proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm provides a significant time reduction for encoding, with only a small loss in video quality.

  • Research collaboration is regarded as core source to lead various innovations in all countries. This paper compares and analyzes the performance of Industry-University-Government Research Institutes (GRI) collaboration based on the four types of research collaborations; GRI-GRI, Industry-GRI, University-GRI and Industry-University-GRI. So this paper will show which collaboration type has the best work on each R&D step. We use four R&D steps; research, development, commercialization and overall. We also evaluate the performance of research collaboration of GRIs based on the collaboration types. In order to evaluate the performance of research collaboration, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed for measuring the efficiency of GRIs in this paper. DEA is a non-parametric approach to measuring the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs. The empirical results represent that the performance of collaboration with industry is generally superior to other collaboration types. These findings from this paper are expected to provide basic information for national collaboration strategy making.

  • TRNG (True Random Number Generator)를 테스트 하는 방법은 PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator)나 산술연산기를 비롯한 결정적 (deterministic) 소자에 대한 테스트와는 많이 틀려서, 새로운 개념과 방법론이 제시되어야 한다. 하드웨어적으로 결정적인 소자들은 패턴을 사용한 테스트 (ATPG; automatic test pattern generation)에 의해 커버가 될 수 있지만, 순수 난수는 발생 결과의 아날로그적인 특성에 의하여 자동 패턴 생성 방식에 의해 소자를 테스트하기가 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 결합한 테스트 방식으로 테스트 패턴에 연속적인 패턴의 변화를 주면서 통계적으로 관찰하는 방식인 Diehard test라는 테스트 방식을 연구, 분석하고, 순수 난수의 테스트 시 고려해야 할 주안점을 제안한다.

  • Conjugated oligomers, used as models for fluorene-thiophene copolymers, are compared in terms of the microscopic morphology of thin deposits and the optical properties. The AFM images and the solid-state absorption and emission spectra are interpreted in line with the structural data, in terms of the assembly of the conjugated molecules. The compound with a terthiophene central unit and fluorene end-groups shows well-defined monolayer-by-monolayer assembly into micrometer-long strip-like structures, with a crystalline herringbone-type organization within the monolayers. Polarized confocal microscopy indicates a strong orientation of the crystalline domains within the stripes. In contrast, the compound with a terfluorene central unit and thiophene end groups forms no textured aggregates. The difference in behavior between the two compounds most probably originates from their different capability of forming densely-packed assemblies of ${\pi-pi}$ interacting molecules. These assemblies are used as active elements in organic field effect transistors designed by using soft lithography technique.

  • We synthesized dendrimers containing light switchable units, azobenzene group. To apply to the molecular level devices or data storage system using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film, we firstly investigated the monolayer behavior using the surface pressure-area(${\pi}-A$) isotherms at air-water interface. And then the surface pressure shift of monolayer by light irradiation was also measured to the dendrimer with azobezene group. As a result, the monolayer of dendrimer with azobenzene group showed the reversible photo-switching behavior by the isomerization of azobenzene group in their periphery. This results suggest that the dendrimers with azobenzene group can be applied to high efficient nano-device of molecular level. And we measured the electrical properties by MIM and STM. The dendrimer with azobenzene group compared trans form and cis form at electrical properties.

  • Data envelopment analysis(DEA) has proved to be powerful for benchmarking and has been widely used in a variety of settings since the advent of it. DEA can be used in identifying the best performing units to be benchmarked against as well as in providing actionable measure for improvement of a organization's performance. However, the selection of performance benchmarks is a matter of both technical production possibilities and organizational policy considerations, managerial preferences and external restrictions. In that regards, DEA has a limited value in benchmarking because it focuses on only technical production Possibilities. This research proposes a new perspective in using DEA and a frame-work for benchmarking to select benchmarks that are both feasible and desirable in terms of organizational context. To do this, the concept of local and global efficiency is newly proposed. To show how useful the suggested concept and framework are, a case study is addressed.

  • In this paper, we deal with implementing design for a correlator access code generator module which they are used for setting up a connection between units, a packet decision, a clock syncronization, by FPGA. The orrelator module which is composed of the Wallace Tree's CSA and threshold value decision device decides useful a packet and syncronizes a clock, after it correlates an input signal of 1 Mbps transmission rate by a sliding window. An access code generator module which is composed of a BCH (Bose-Chadhuri-Hocquenghem) cyclic encoder and control device was designed according as a four steps' generation process proposed in the bluetooth standard. The pseudo random sequence which solves syncronization problem saved a voluntary device Proposed the module was designed by VHDL. An simulation and test are inspected by Xilinx FPGA.

  • 대부분의 문자 인식기들이 인식대상영상이 인식단위로 분할되어있다는 가정아래 개발되고 있으나, 실제 필기한글의 분할에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문은 Run-length code를 이용한 능동적인 한글 분할방법을 제시한다. 전처리와 인식단위 분할에 응용할 수 있는, 한글의 구조적 특성을 반영한, 기울기 보정 알고리즘을 제안하고, 필기자들이 일반적인 필기 습관과 한글이 갖는 2차원 구조의 특성을 반영하면서 문자의 접촉점을 적극적으로 찾아내기 위한 기초 함수들과 접촉점들의 분류 방법을 제시한다. 임의의 필기자로부터 수집한 필기 한글 주소열 데이터를 이용해 수행한 실험을 통해, 초과분할을 포함하여, 88.2%의 접촉 문자들을 분리할 수 있었다.
