A multithreaded model is a hybrid one which combines locality of execution of the von Neumann model with asynchronous data availability and implicit parallelism of the dataflow model. Much researches that have been made toward the advanced performance of multithreaded models are about the cache memory which have been proved to be efficient in the von Neumann model. To use an instruction cache or operand cache, the multithreaded models must have cache memories. If cache memories are added to the multithreaded model, they may have the disadvantage of high implementation cost in the mode. To solve these problems, we did not add cache memory but applied the method of executing the caching by using available registers of the multithreaded models. The available register-based caching method is one that use the registers which are not used on the execution of threads. It may accomplish the same effect as the cache memory. The multithreaded models can compute the number of available registers to be used during the process of the register optimization, and therefore this method can be easily applied on the models. By applying this method, we can also remove the access conflict and the bottleneck of frame memories. When we applied the proposed available register-based caching method, we found that there was an improved performance of the multithreaded model. Also, when the available-register-based caching method is compared with the cache based caching method, we found that there was the almost same execution overhead.

In this paper, I propose a thread scheduling policy for faster packet processing on the network processors with multithreaded multiprocessor architecture. To implement the proposed policy, I derived several basic parameters related to the thread scheduling and included a new parameter representing the packet contents and the features of the multithreaded architecture. Through the empirical study using a network processor, I proved the proposed scheduling ploicy provides better throughput and load balancing compared to the generally used thread scheduling policy.

Concurrent behaviors of multithreaded programs cannot be described effectively by automata-based models. Thus, concurrent program intrusion attempts cannot be detected. To address this problem, we proposed the process algebra-based detection model for multithreaded programs (PADMP). We generate process expressions by static binary code analysis. We then add concurrency operators to process expressions and propose a model construction algorithm based on process algebra. We also present a definition of process equivalence and behavior detection rules. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately detect errors in multithreaded programs and has linear space-time complexity. The proposed method provides effective support for concurrent behavior modeling and detection.

A spatial augmented reality (SAR) system enables a virtual image to be projected onto the surface of a real-world object and the user to intuitively control the image using a tangible interface. However, occlusions frequently occur, such as a sudden change in the lighting environment or the generation of obstacles. We propose a robust object tracker based on a multithreaded system, which can track an object robustly through occlusions. Our multithreaded tracker is divided into two threads: the detection thread detects distinctive features in a frame-to-frame manner, and the tracking thread tracks features periodically using an optical-flow-based tracking method. Consequently, although the speed of the detection thread is considerably slow, we achieve real-time performance owing to the multithreaded configuration. Moreover, the proposed outlier filtering automatically updates a random sample consensus distance threshold for eliminating outliers according to environmental changes. Experimental results show that our approach tracks an object robustly in real-time in an SAR environment where there are frequent occlusions occurring from augmented projection images.

Multithreading is attractive in that it can tolerate memory latency and synchronization by effectively overlapping communication with computation. While several compiler techniques have been developed to produce multithreaded codes from functional languages programs, there still remains a lot of works to implement loops effectively. Executing lops in a style of multithreading usually causes some overheads, which can reduce severely the effect of multirheading. This paper suggests several methods in terms of architectures or compilers which can optimize loop execution by multithreading. We then simulate and analyze them for the matrix multiplication program.

Recently, many photovoltaic systems (PV systems) including solar parks and PV farms have been built to prepare for the post fossil fuel era. To investigate the degradation process of the PV systems and thus, efficiently operate PV systems, there is a need to visually monitor PV systems in the range of infrared ray through the Internet. For efficient visual monitoring, this paper explores a multithreaded implementation of a recently developed HEVC standard whose compression efficiency is almost two times higher than H.264. For an efficient parallel implementation under a meshbased 64 multicore system, this work takes into account various design choices which can solve potential problems of a two-dimensional interconnects-based 64 multicore system. These problems may have not occurred in a small-scale multicore system based on a simple bus network. Through extensive evaluation, this paper shows that, for an efficient multithreaded implementation of HEVC intra prediction in a mesh-based multicore system, much effort needs to be made to optimize communications among processing cores. Thus, this work provides three design choices regarding communications, i.e., main thread core location, cache home policy, and maximum coding unit size. These design choices are shown to improve the overall parallel performance of the HEVC intra prediction algorithm by up to 42%, achieving a 7 times higher speed-up.

MPAs(Massively Parallel Architectures) should address two fundamental issues for scalability: synchronization and communication latency. Dataflow architecture faces problems of excessive synchronization overhead and inefficient execution of sequential programs while they offer the ability to exploit massive parallelism inherent in programs. In contrast, MPAs based on von Neumann computational model may suffer from inefficient synchronization mechanism and communication latency. DAVRID (DAtaflow/Von Neumann RISC hybrID) is a massively parallel multithreaded architecture which takes advantages of von Neumann and dataflow models. It has good single thread performance as well as tolerates synchronization and communication latency. In this paper, we describe the DAVRID architecture in detail and evaluate its performance through simulation runs over several benchmarks.

본 논문에서는 벡타연산을 효율적으로 수행하고 대단위 병렬시스템을 지원하는 다중 스레드구조, MULVEC(MULtithreaded architecture of the VEctor Computations) 을 제시한다. MULVEC은 데이타플로우 모델에 수퍼 스칼라 RISC 마이크로 프로세서를 갖는 기존의 폰 노이만 모델을 도입하였다. 그리고 동일한 스레드 세그멘트내에 벡타 연산이 반복되는 경우에 상태필드를 이용하여 동기화의 수를 감축시켰으며, 이에 의해 문맥전환 횟수, 통신량 등을 감소시켰다. 그리고 노드 수의 변화에 대한 MULVEC의 성능평가(프로그램들의 수행시간, 프로세서들의 이용율)와 *T의 성능평가(프로그램의 수행시간)를 SPARC station 20 (super scalar RISC microprocessor)에서 시뮬레이션을 하였으며, 노드의 수, 루프의 반복홋수 등에 따라 프로그램의 수행시간이 MULVEC이 *T보 다 약 1-2배 정도 빠르다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
