88년 9월중에 한국과학기술연구원 시스템공학연구소가 당시의 슈퍼컴퓨터 중 최상위 성능을 가진 Cray-2S(4 CPU, 1GB)를 설치함에 따라 국내에도 슈퍼컴퓨터 시대가 열리게 되었으며, 90년 10월에 산업계에서는 최초로 기아자동차에서 Cray Y/MP(1CPU)를 설치한 이래 최근에 국방과학연구소, 삼성그룹에서도 Cray Y/MP계열의 슈퍼컴퓨터를 설치하여 과학기술 계산 및 공학해석에 폭넓게 활용할 전망이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 슈퍼컴퓨터의 정의 및 분류, 특징과 보급현황에 대하여 알아보고 슈퍼컴퓨터 및 병렬처리기술을 이용한 유한요소해석에 관하여 간략히 기술하고저 한다.

In this paper, we develop an automated software for in-plane structural analysis of composite laminated structures. The developed software supports various failure criteria and reports the analysis results considering user's convenience. It also provides batch job analysis function based on parallel processing technique. To verify the performance of the software, we compared margin of safety(MS) calculated in the software to those obtained from in-house method and the specimen experiment. As a result of comparisons, there was an error of less than 0.01 in the in-house method and it is within about ${\pm}10%$ with the specimen experiment. In addition, we confirmed the improvement of execution speed of batch job analysis based on parallel processing technique.

본 고에서는 paragon에서 DYNA3D 결과의 검증과 효율성을 점검하였는데, 적절한 CPU 개수를 선택하여 계산할 때는 Cray에 비하여 더욱 빠른 시간 내에 해석결과를 얻을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 본 고에서 언급되지는 않았지만 Cray에서는 풀 수 없는 아주 큰 memory를 요구하는 문제도 paragon의 DYNA3D를 이용하면 급속히 확산될 추세이며 이에 따라 기존의 응용 소프트웨어의 병렬화는 필연적인 결과라고 생각된다. 따라서 병렬컴퓨터 및 병렬 프로그래밍에 대한 이해를 통하여 미래의 시뮬레이션 분야에서 앞서갈 수 있는 능력을 갖추는 노력이 절실히 요구된다.

밀리미터파 대역에서 사용하는 대형 안테나 해석 속도를 개선하기 위한 병렬형 행렬 연산법을 제안한다. 기존의 가우스 소거법을 병렬화하기 위해 행렬 분해와 반복법을 이용한다. 또한, 반복법의 수렴성을 높이기 위해 이전 행렬해를 부분적으로 사용하여 분해 행렬을 구성하는 방식도 제시한다. 본 제안법은 OpenMP, MPI, CUDA 등의 병렬법과 함께 사용할 수 있다.

In this work, we construct a CPU cluster to implement a parallel finite-difference time domain(FDTD) algorithm for fast electromagnetic analyses. This parallel FDTD algorithm can reduce the computational time significantly and also analyze electrically larger structures, compared to a single FDTD counterpart. The parallel FDTD algorithm needs communication between neighboring processors, which is performed by the MPI(Message Passing Interface) library and a 3-D domain decomposition is employed to decrease the communication time between neighboring processors. Compared to a single-processor FDTD, the speed up factor of a-CPU-cluster-based parallel FDTD algorithm is investigated for the normal mode and the hypermode and finally analyze an electrically large concrete structure by the developed parallel algorithm.

Parallel computing method is widely used in the computational fluid dynamics for efficient numerical analysis. Nowadays, low cost Linux cluster computers substitute for traditional supercomputers with parallel computing shcemes. The performance of nemerical solvers on an Linux cluster computer is highly dependent not on the performance of processors but on the performance of network devices in the cluster system. In this paper, we investigated the effects of the network devices such as Myrinet2000, gigabit ethernet, and fast ethernet on the performance of the cluster system by using some benchmark programs such as Netpipe, LINPACK, NAS NPB, and MPINS2D Navier-Stokes solvers. Finally, upon this investigation, we will suggest the method for building high performance low cost Linux cluster system in the computational fluid dynamics analysis.

In this paper simulations for the impact into ceramics and/or metal materials have been discussed. To model discrete nature for fracture and damage of brittle materials, we implemented cohesive-law fracture model with a node separation algorithm for the tensile failure and Mohr-Coulomb model for the compressive loading. The drawback of this scheme is that it requires a heavy computational time. This is because new nodes are generated continuously whenever a new crack surface is created. In order to reduce the amount of calculation, parallelization with MPI library has been implemented. For the high-speed impact problems, the mesh configuration and contact calculation changes continuously as time step advances and it causes unbalance of computational load of each processor. Dynamic load balancing technique which re-allocates the loading dynamically is used to achieve good parallel performance. Some impact problems have been simulated and the parallel performance and accuracy of the solutions are discussed.

A Parallel Processing model by considering a spatiotemporal parallelism is presented for the training procedure of the MLP neural network. We tried to design the flexible Parallel Processing model by simultaneously applying both of the training-set decomposition for a temporal parallelism and the network decomposition for a spatial parallelism. The analytical Performance evaluation model shows that when the problem size is extremely large, the speedup of each implementation depends, in the extreme, on whether the problem size is pattern-size intensive or pattern-quantify intensive.

본 연구는 개별 메모리를 갖는 소결합 구조의 MIMD형 병렬컴퓨터인 트랜스퓨터시스템 하에서 구조최적화를 위한 병렬처리 과정을 보이고 시험모델에 적용하여 타당성 및 효율성을 검증한다. 전체 최적화과정의 대부분을 차지하는 해석 및 민감도 알고리즘은 영역단위의 병렬성을 갖는 부구조화에 근거하고 하드웨어 구성에 맞춰 변환 재구성한다. 각 노드간 통신은 정적응축과 설계도함수에 한정, 그 횟수를 최소화하고 그들을 동기화하므로써 개별메모리형 연산모델의 약점인 통신비용의 문제를 해소한다. PC를 호스트로 한 수치실험은 고속화 효율성 면에서 고무적인 결과를 보여주고 있으며, 이런 점에서 시스템의 확장성을 함께 고려한다면 트랜스퓨터 시스템에 기초한 병렬처리는 공학 환경의 변화와 요구에 부응하는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다.

The Jacobian and singularity analysis of parallel robots is necessary to analyze robot motion. The derivations of the Jacobian matrix and singularity configuration are complicated and have no geometrical earning in the velocity form of the Jacobian matrix. In this study, the screw theory is used to derive the Jacobian of parallel robots. The statics form of the Jacobian has a geometrical meaning. In addition, singularity analysis can be performed by using the geometrical values. Furthermore, this study shows that the screw theory is applicable to redundantly actuated robots as well as non-redundant robots.
