  • 멀티코어 환경이 보편화됨에 따라 병렬프로그래밍 기법과 이에 대한 컴파일 기술의 중요성이 더해지고 있다. 하지만 각 병렬 프로그래밍 기법과 컴퓨팅 환경에 따라 컴파일 기술이 개발되어야 하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 병렬 프로그래밍 기법과 컴퓨팅 환경을 지원할 수 있는 범용 컴파일러의 개발을 위해 병렬프로그래밍 기법과 컴파일러에 따른 병렬 프로그램의 컴파일 성능을 비교하고, 높은 수행 성능을 가진 범용 병렬 프로그램 컴파일러의 설계 방안을 모색한다.

  • Beginning a few decades ago, Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, has experienced a dramatic construction boom that is revitalizing its skyline. The expansive growth looks to uphold the historic past of Baku as a focal point within the Caspian Sea Region while also evoking aspirations for a city of the future. With superstructure complete and interiors progressing, the Ministry of Taxation (MOT) tower is the latest addition to the city, with its stacked cubes twisting above a multi-level podium at the base. Each cube is separated by column-free green roof terraces, creating unique parametric reveals of the developing surroundings. Aside from MOT's stunning shape, its geolocation resulted in unusually high wind loads coupled with high seismic hazards for a tower of its height. In addition, limitations on possible structural systems required stepping away from a typical prescriptive code-based approach into one that utilized Performance-Based Design (PBD) methods. This paper presents the numerous structural challenges and innovations that allowed the design of a new icon to be realized.

  • Since the smart factory has been recently recognized as an industrial core requirement, various mechanisms to ensure efficient and stable operation have attracted much attention. This attention is based on the fact that in a smart factory environment where operating processes, such as facility control, data collection, and decision making are automated, the disruption of processes due to problems such as facility anomalies causes considerable losses. Although many studies have considered methods to prevent such losses, few have investigated how to effectively apply the solutions. This study proposes a Kubernetes based system applied in a smart factory providing effective operation and facility management. To develop the system, we employed a useful and popular open source project, and adopted deep learning based anomaly detection model for multi-sensor anomaly detection. This can be easily modified without interruption by changing the container image for inference. Through experiments, we have verified that the proposed method can provide system stability through nondisruptive maintenance, monitoring and non-disruptive updates for anomaly detection models.

  • 현재 멀티 코어 프로세서는 많은 서버에 적용되어 사용되고 있으며, 향후에는 하나의 프로세서 패키지에 포함될 코어의 개수는 계속해서 증가할 것이다. 그러나 현재 운영체제들은 멀티 코어 시스템을 멀티 프로세서 환경과 거의 동일하게 다루고 있으며 아직 멀티 코어 특성을 고려한 성능 최적화 시도는 미흡한 상태이다. 본 논문은 SMP와 NUMA 구조의 멀티 코어 프로세서 환경에서 통신 프로세스와 네트워크 인터럽트의 프로세서 친화도를 변화시키며 네트워크 처리율과 코어의 유휴 자원 양을 정량적으로 분석한다. 측정 결과 프로세서 친화도에 따라 통신 처리율은 크게 변하지 않지만 프로세서 자원의 요구량에는 크게 영향을 주는 것을 보인다. 또한 이러한 프로세서 자원의 영향은 멀티 코어 프로세서의 캐쉬 공유 구조 및 메모리 분산 구조와 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 밝힌다.

  • 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.

  • In SCM (supply chain management), companies are pursuing a new approach through which overall functions within the supply chain, ranging from material purchase to production, distribution, and sales are designed, planned, and managed in an integrated way. The core functions among them are production planning and distribution planning. As these problems are mutually related, they should be dealt with simultaneously in an integrated manner. SCM is large-scale and multi-stage problems. Also, its various kinds of internal or external factors can, at any time, dynamically bring a change to the existing plan or situation. Recently, many enterprises are moving toward an open architecture for integrating their activities with their suppliers, customers and other partners within the supply chain. Agent-based technology provides an effective approach in such environments. Multi-agent systems have been proven suitable to represent domains such as supply chain networks which involve interactions among manufacturing organization, their customers, suppliers, etc. with different individual goals and propriety information. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent system based on the genetic algorithm that make it possible to integrate the production and distribution planning on a real-time basis in SCM. The proposed genetic algorithm produced near optimal solution and we checked that there is a great difference in the results between integrated planning and non-integrated planning.

  • According to the cognitive science research, the interaction intent of humans can be estimated through an analysis of the representing behaviors. This paper proposes a novel methodology for reliable intention analysis of humans by applying this approach. To identify the intention, 8 behavioral features are extracted from the 4 characteristics in human-human interaction and we outline a set of core components for nonverbal behavior of humans. These nonverbal behaviors are associated with various recognition modules including multimodal sensors which have each modality with localizing sound source of the speaker in the audition part, recognizing frontal face and facial expression in the vision part, and estimating human trajectories, body pose and leaning, and hand gesture in the spatial part. As a post-processing step, temporal confidential reasoning is utilized to improve the recognition performance and integrated human model is utilized to quantitatively classify the intention from multi-dimensional cues by applying the weight factor. Thus, interactive robots can make informed engagement decision to effectively interact with multiple persons. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme works successfully between human users and a robot in human-robot interaction.

  • A high-voltage highly-integrated analog front-end (AFE) IC for medical ultrasound imaging applications is implemented using standard 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed AFE IC is composed of a high-voltage (HV) pulser utilizing stacked transistors generating up to 15 Vp-p pulses at 2.6 MHz, a low-voltage low-noise transimpedance preamplifier, and a HV switch for isolation between the transmit and receive parts. The designed IC consumes less than $0.15mm^2$ of core area, making it feasible to be applied for multi-array medical ultrasound imaging systems, including portable handheld applications.

  • Recently, Open Computing Language (OpenCL) has been proposed to provide a framework that supports heterogeneous computing platforms. By using an OpenCL framework, digital communication systems can support various protocols in a unified computing environment to achieve both high portability and high performance. This article introduces a parallel software decoder of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes for China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting (CMMB) on a heterogeneous platform. Each step of LDPC decoding has different parallelization characteristics. In this paper, steps suitable for task-level parallelization are executed on the CPU, and steps suitable for data-level parallelization are processed by the GPU. To improve the performance of the proposed OpenCL kernels for LDPC decoding operations, explicit thread scheduling, loop-unrolling, and effective data transfer techniques are applied. The proposed LDPC decoder achieves high performance by using heterogeneous multi-core processors on a unified computing framework.

  • This paper describes an integrated chassis control for a maneuverability, a lateral stability and a rollover prevention of a vehicle by the using of the ESC and AFS. The integrated chassis control system consists of a supervisor, control algorithms and a coordinator. From the measured and estimation signals, the supervisor determines the vehicle driving situation about the lateral stability and rollover prevention. The control algorithms determine a desired yaw moment for lateral stability and a desired longitudinal force for the rollover prevention. In order to apply the control inputs, the coordinator determines a brake and active front steering inputs optimally based on the current status of the subject vehicle. To improve the reliability and to reduce the operating load of the proposed control algorithms, a multi-core ECU platform is used in this system. For the evaluation of this system, a closed loop simulations with driver-vehicle-controller system were conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed control strategy.
