Object recognition is a challenging application for high-performance computing. Currently, the superscalar architecture dominates todays microprocessor marketplace. As more transistors are integrated onto larger die, however, an on-chip multiprocessor is regarded as a promising alternative to the superscalar microprocessor. This paper examines the behavior of the object recognition on the on-chip multiprocessor, which will be employed in general-purpose parallel machines. To obtain the performance characteristics of the microprocessor, a program-driven simulator and its programming environment were developed. The simulation results showed that the on-chip multiprocessor can exploit thread level parallelisms effectively and offer a promising architecture for the object recognition application.

In this paper, we propose a system-level diagnosis algorithm for hypercube muti-processors using adaptive cube partition method. Feng[1] proposed a diagnosis algorithm for hypercube multiprocessors which gives a better performance compared to previous researches[2, 3]. But cube partitions in Feng's algorithm are performed without syndrome analysis. Therfore unnecessery overhead is made during cube partitions. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cube partition method which gives better partition through syndrome analysis and reduces diagnosis cost. We give a simulation result for comparisons. We have found that our algorithm shows better performance compared to Feng's method.

The Monkey and Banana Problem is an example commonly used for illustrating simple problem solving. It can be solved by conventional approaches, but this requires a procedural aspect when inferences are processed, and this fact works as a limitation condition in solving complex problems. However, if we use DNA computing methods which are naturally able to realize massive parallel processing. the Monkey and Banana Problem can be solved effectively without weakening the fundamental aims above. In this paper, we design a method of representing the problem using DNA molecules, and show that various solutions are generated through computer-simulations based on the design. The simulation results are obviously interesting in that these are contrary to the fact that the Prolog program for the Monkey and Banana Problem, which was implemented from the conventional point of view, gives us only one optimal solution. That is, DNA computing overcomes the limitations of conventional approaches.

This study was directed to an inquiry into a methodology for prioritizing and evaluating R & D alternatives for fuel cell technology, that can provide information for use in future decisions under the current uncertainty. A case study was performed for three cases of fuel cell development under the assumption that basic input data are same. The three cases are the case considering sequential R & D schedule only(Case 1), the case considering equivalent and excluding subprojects(Case 2), and the case allowing parallel efforts for each phase(Case 3). The following results were obtained; the probabilities of success for R & D phases in parallel projects are correlated, the probability of success for each project increases through Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 successively and the expected dates of commercialization were notably shortened in Case 3.

The union upper bounds to the bit error probability of maximum likelihood(ML) soft-decoding of parallel concatenated convolutional codes(PCCC) and serially concatenated convolutional codes(SCCC) can be evaluated through the weight enumerating function(WEF). This union upper bounds become the lower bounds of the BER achievable when iterative decoding is used. In this paper, to compute the WEF, an efficient error event search algorithm which is a combination of stack algorithm and bidirectional search algorithm is proposed. By computor simulation, it is shown that the union boounds obtained by using the proposed algorithm become the lower bounds to BER of concatenated convolutional codes with iterative decoding.

This paper describes an instantaneous reactive power compensator aimed at the compensation of reactive power and current harmonics of a thyristor load. A new definition of the instantaneous reactive power consisting of both displacement of fundamental current and harmonic distortion current is proposed and the physical meaning is investigated from the viewpoint of an instantaneous power flow. The instantaneous reactive power is calculated from the feedback of instantaneous voltage, current and is compensated by the current controlled PWM converter connected in parallel with the load. The PWM converter operates as a high performance current control scheme, because adopts the excellent current controlled PWM technique based on the current deviation vector. Both simulation and experimental results show good compensating performances in steady and transient state.

This paper presents a synchronous-reference-frame-based control of single-phase UPQC(Unified Power Quality Conditioner) to improve power quality in ac electrified railway systems. The proposed synchronous-reference-frame-based UPQC can compensate the voltage distortion, the voltage sag, the harmonic currents, and the reactive power instantaneously. The simulation results show that the UPQC can compensate the harmonic supply voltages, the voltage sag, the harmonic load currents, and the reactive power in electrified railway systems. Validity and effectiveness of the proposed UPQC control method based on the synchronous-reference-frame is illustrated through the simulation results.

This paper proposes an improved feed-forward controller that calculates the gain value by estimating the changed boost inductance in practical operating condition of transformer. The boost inductance is estimated by the measurement of input current and voltage. The estimated boost inductance is optimized by the least square method. The proposed feed-forward controller can be achieved the robust control through the gain value calculating the estimated boost inductance despite of the changed condition of transformer and can minimize the interference phenomenon by reducing the harmonics of input current. The validity of proposed technique is verified through the simulation and experiment.

A dynamic model has been developed to investigate the operability of a single and double-effect solar energy assisted parallel type absorption chiller. In the study, main components and fluid transport mechanism have been modeled. Flow discharge coefficients of the valves and the pumps were optimized for the double-effect mode with solar-heated water circulated. The model was run for the single mode with solar energy supply only and the solar/gas driving double effect mode. And the cases of the double mode with and without the solar energy were compared. From the simulation results, it was found that the present configuration of the chiller is not capable of regulating solution flow rates according to variable solar energy input. And the single mode utilizing the solar energy only is not practical. It is suggested to operate the system in the double mode and the flow rate control system adaptive to variable solar energy input has to be developed.
