Small area and low power implementation are important requirements for various multimedia processing hardware, especially for mobile environment. This paper presents a hardware architecture of H.264/AVC Intra Prediction module aiming on small area and low power. A single arithmetic unit was shared and processed sequentially for all mode decisions and computations to predict an image frame. As a result, we could get smaller area and smaller memory size compared to other existing implementations. The proposed architecture was verified using the Altera Excalibur device, and the implemented hardware has been described in Verilog-HDL and synthesized on Samsung STD130 0.18um CMOS Standard Cell Library using Synopsys Design Compiler. The synthesis result was about 11.9K logic gates and 1078 byte internal SRAM and the maximum operating frequency was 107Mhz. It consumes 879,617 clocks to process one QCIF frame, which means it can process 121.5 QCIF$(176\times144)$ frames per second, therefore it shows that it can be used for real time H.264/AVC encoding of various multimedia applications.

For real time services of multimedia applications, storage systems should provide data without degrading their performance. Since it is very important to recover data immediately at a disk failure, the disk recovery system is required. This paper presents a hybrid recovery scheme which prevents degraded the performance on a single disk failure at RAID level 5 architecture until the failed disk is replaced with a new disk. The proposed scheme is very economical compared to previous spare disk schemes because it does not use extra disks. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated and analyzed with that of the RAID level 5 for various requested sizes through the simulation. The results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is improved up to 20 percents at the failure mode and 80 percents at the reconfigured mode. After a multimedia server system has been built with a RAID controller and hard disks, the data recovery performance of the propose scheme are compared with the results of simulation.

This paper presents the design and the implementation of a MissCW(Multi user Interactive System for Synchronous Collaborative Writing). The document model DMDA(Distributed Multimedia Document Architecture) of MissCW consists of the logical structure, presentation style object, and mark object. The windows. The collaborative editor of this system proposes a structure oriented editing mechanism to combine distrbuted objects into one document. The middleware SOM(Shared Object Manager) maintains shared objects consistently and helps application programs use objects efficiently. The infrastructure of this system is a hybrid structure of replicated and centralized architectures, that is to maintain shared objects consistently inside of SOM and to reduce the overhead of network traffic. The central part is a virtual node which corresponds to the Object Controller of SOMwith the SOT(Shared Objet Table).

With the development of the internet and computer technology, the amount of information through the internet is increasing rapidly and it is managed in document form. For this reason, the research into the method to manage for a large amount of document in an effective way is necessary. The conventional document categorization method used only the keywords of related documents for document classification. However, this paper proposed keyword extraction method of based on association rule. This method extracts a set of related keywords which are involved in document's category and classifies representative keyword by using the classification rule proposed in this paper. In addition, this paper proposed the preprocessing method for efficient keywords creation and predicted the new document's category. We can design the classifier and measure the performance throughout the experiment to increase the profile's classification performance. When predicting the category, substituting all the classification rules one by one is the major reason to decrease the process performance in a profile. Finally, this paper suggested automatically categorizing plan which can be applied to hierarchical category architecture, extended from simple category architecture.

In this paper, in order to develop a remote progress management system through the Internet, we show a design method to make easy maintenance by developing the system with both the JAVA language and GoF Design Patterns. For the system implementation, we added the RS232C and RS422/RS485 communication modules to PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) in the control box which provide the real time status data of machines. Also we set up the RS232C to Ethernet converter based on wireless environment to communicate the PLC control data. We use JAVA Swing components to implement the multi-tier architecture system supported the GUI of the Applet and Frame at the same time so that the manager grasps the progress of work easily at the remote machines through the Internet. The key objective of the multi-tier architecture is to share resources among clients, this proposed system can help to develop the software to control the remote machine, and also it has the advantage that developer who wants to make a similar software can make easy to add new function reusing the existing codes.

Retargetability is typically achieved by providing target machine information, ADL, as input. The ADL are used to specify processor and memory architectures and generate software toolkit including compiler, simulator, etc. Simulator are critical components of the exploration and software design toolkit for the system designer. They can be used to perform diverse tasks such as verifying the functionality and/or timing behavior of the system, and generating quantitative measurements(e.g., power energy consumption) which can be used to aid the design process. In this paper, we generate the energy consumption estimation simulator through ADL. For this goal, firstly, we describes the energy consumption estimation and monitoring informations on the ADL based on EXPRESSION. Secondly, we generate the energy estimation and monitoring simulation library and then constructs the simulator, RenergySim. Lastly, we represent the energy estimations results for MIPS R4000 ADL description. From this subjects, we contribute to the efficient architecture developments and prompt SDK generation through programmable experiments in the field of mobile software development.

Recently the research on GPGPU has been carried out actively as the performance of GPUs has been increased rapidly. In this paper, we propose the system architecture by benchmarking the existing supercomputer architecture for a cost-effective system using GPUs in low-cost graphics devices and implement a GPU cluster system with eight GPUs. We also make the software development environment that is suitable for the GPU cluster system and use it for the performance evaluation by implementing the n-body problem. According to its result, we found that it is efficient to use multiple GPUs when the problem size is large due to its communication cost. In addition, we could calculate up to eight million celestial bodies by applying the method of calculating block by block to mitigate the problem size constraint due to the limited resource in GPUs.

A lot of talks on the Quality of services (QoS) so far were limited only either for the network itself or for the end system, But, recently it is becoming more important to have the seamless end-to-end QoS support to meet the networked multimedia service requirements This paper proposes the QoS based resource management architecture which supports the large scale distributed systems under heterogeneous environment. The architecture introduces a couple of key concepts such as abstractions and algorithms. Abstractions capture the three perspectivest found in all systems: application, resource, and system, on the ofter hand algorithms manage system resources based on information in the three abstractions. We also explain the on-line resource management flow as well as the benefit function which specifies the level of benefit accrued to the application user as a function of the level of service provided by the system. At the end of the paper, the QoS based resource management applied to the tele-seminar application is described to show its practical utilization.

In this study, a graphics-processing-unit (GPU)-based acceleration technique is proposed for the feature-based image morphing. This technique uses the depth-buffer of the graphics hardware to calculate efficiently the shortest distance between a pixel and the control lines. The pairs of control lines between the source image and the destination image are determined by user's input, and the distance function of each control line is rendered using two rectangles and two cones. The distance between each pixel and its nearest control line is stored in the depth buffer through the graphics pipeline, and this is used to conduct the morphing operation efficiently. The pixel-unit morphing operation is parallelized using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) to reduce the morphing time. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed technique using several experimental results.
