In general, there are two synchronization methods in parallel event-driven simulation, pessimistic approach and optimistic approach. In this paper, we propose a new approach, sporadic synchronization combining both for prediction-based parallel event-driven logic simulation. We claim this hybrid solution is pretty effective to minimize both checkpoint overhead and restart overhead, which are related problems with frequent false predictions for improving the performance of the prediction-based parallel event-driven logic simulation. The experiment has clearly shown the advantage of the proposed approach.

A fossil power plant can be modeled by a lot of algebraic equations and differential equations. When we simulate a large, complicated fossil power plant by a computer such as workstation or PC, it takes much time until overall equations are completely calculated. Therefore, new processing systems which have high computing speed is ultimately needed for real-time or high-speed(faster than real-time) simulators. This paper presents an enhanced strategy in which high computing power can be provided by parallel processing of DSP processors with communication links. DSP system is designed for general purpose. Parallel DSP system can be easily expanded by just connecting new DSP modules to the system. General urpose DSP modules and a VME interface module was developed. New model and techniques for the task allocation are also presented which take into account the special characteristics of parallel I/O and computation. As a realistic cost function of task allocation, we suggested 'simulation period' which represents the period of simulation output intervals. Based on the development of parallel DSP system and realistic task allocation techniques, we cound achieve good efficiency of parallel processing and faster simulation speed than real-time.

Stress and deflection of Active Fiber Composite(AFC) embedded and/or attached composite structures are numerically investigated at the constituent level by the Direct Numerical Simulation(DNS). The DNS approach which models and simulates the fiber and matrix directly using 3D finite elements need to be solved by efficient way. To handle this large scale problem, parallel program for solving piezoelectric behavior was developed and run on the parallel computing environment. Also, the stress result from DNS approach is compared with that from uniform field model.

This research deals with evaluation of machining accuracy for Parallel Kinematic Machine Tool(PKMT) applied parallel type robot system with high precision and stiffness. For this purpose, machine simulation is carried out to foreknow collision and interference between workpiece and tool. Furthermore, on the basis of machine simulation data, PKMT is manufactured. Machining accuracy such as cylindricity straightness, squareness, parallelism circularity, concentricity pitch error and yaw error, is measured by using coordinate measuring machine. Test piece for evaluation of machining accuracy is designed and manufactured under the standard of ISO 10791-7.

In this paper we present an efficient parallel simulation algorithm in recursive feedforward network(RFN) which can reduce the simulation delay while decreasing the number of null messages compared to the previous result. As a preprocessing step, we first determine the group and type of each oupput channel for the nodes using DFS(Depth First Search) algorithm, and show that the number of null messages as well as the simulation scheme. By the new scheme we decide if null messages are sent to the output channels or not according to the group to which it belongs.

Efficient event evaluation and propagation techniques are proposed to enhance the advancement of simulation clocks of conservative and optimistic logic simulation protocols on parallel processing environments. The first idea of the techniques proposed in this paper is to allow more than one event evaluation per simulation cycle and to pack more than one propagation event in a single message. The second idea is to use advancement windows resulted in good performance in parallelism and execution times.

The evaluation of parallel performance of a high speed impact simulation is not an easy task because not only the development of parallel explicit code is difficult but also a large number of processors is not easily accessible. In this paper, the parallel performance of a new Lagrangian FEM impact code carried out on cluster supercomputer has been described in high speed range. In the case of metal sphere impacting to oblique plate, the overall speed-up continuously increases even up to 128 CPUs. Investigation of elapsed time of each part reveals that most of the inefficiency comes from the load imbalance of contact.

The application area of parallel mechanism is limited in spite of many advantages of that because the workspace of platform is a very small. Thus enlargement of workspace is important issue in design of parallel mechanism. In this paper a parallel mechanism design method is described using commercial simulation program. Firstly strokes of the assembled parallel mechanism's active joints are simulated from kinetic simulation mode to get required workspace, Secondly, dynamic parameters(velocity, acceleration, force, moment) are simulated for the gravity, friction and exit load. Finally, workspace of moving platform is displayed and workspace of area is simulated by motion analysis. The results of this paper will help engineer to design parallel mechanism with optimize workspace.

In this paper, a new parallel computation method, which fully utilize the parallel processors both in mesh generation and FEM calculation for 2D/3D process simulation, is presented. High performance parallel FEM and parallel linear algebra solving technique was showed that excessive computational requirement of memory size and CPU time for the three-dimensional simulation could be treated successively. Our parallelized numerical solver successfully interpreted the transient enhanced diffusion (TED) phenomena of dopant diffusion and irregular shape of R-LOCOS within 15 minutes. Monte Carlo technique requires excessive computational requirement of CPU time. Therefore high performance parallel solving technique were employed to our cascade sputter simulation. The simulation results of Our sputter simulator allowed the calculation time of 520 sec and speedup of 25 using 30 processors. We found the optimized number of ion injection of our MC sputter simulation is 30,000.
