This paper presents the evaluation of LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) regulators for home use. For the evaluation, several properties of the regulators were experimentally analyzed, such as the operation of safety device, the adjusting and lock-up pressure, the adjusting spring and the diaphragm, with respect to the used time of the regulators. Experimental results showed that the initial operation performance of regulators were degraded with increase of the service time and also showed that the degradation of the performance and material property could become serious after six-year-use of the regulator.

In mobile database system, transactions processing schemes address in ones using a static coordinator and coordinator migration. This apply coordinator migration mechanism which perform the transaction in new database server when posed to be the transaction service handoff. That apply static coordinator mechanism which perform the transaction in database server to begin the transaction when posed to be the transaction service handoff. In this paper, a scheme-independent simulation model has been developed in order to support comparative performance studies of mobile transaction processing schemes. And this paper describes the model in detail and presents simulation results which were obtained for what it believe to be the performance evaluation of the mobile transaction processing schemes. Finally, the mobile transaction processing schemes will improve system performance by minimizing the transmission of message for processing the transactions in mobile database system.

차세대 무선통신에서는 높은 데이터 전송률을 필요로 하여 높은 밀도의 주파수 재사용을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 셀 간 간섭을 효율적으로 줄이는 방법을 필요로 하게 된다. 기존의 정적인 간섭 조정 기법들은 셀 가장자리 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 네트워크 전체의 성능을 희생한다는 단점이 존재한다. 한편, 높은 전송률을 필요로 하며, 동시에, 높은 신뢰도의 통신을 위해서 중계단말기를 사용한 OFDMA 중계 네트워크에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다중 셀 환경의 OFDMA 중계 네트워크에서의 셀 간 간섭을 적응적으로 조정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 셀 간 간섭을 줄여서 셀 가장자리 성능을 향상시킴과 동시에 네트워크 전체 성능 또한 향상시키는 것을 목적으로 한다. 모의실험을 통해, 제안된 알고리즘이 정적 셀 간 간섭조정 기법들 보다 셀 가장자리 성능과 네트워크 전체 성능이 우수함을 확인한다.

Inverse problem in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is highly ill-posed therefore prior information is used to mitigate the ill-posedness. Regularization methods are often adopted in solving EIT inverse problem to have satisfactory reconstruction performance. In solving the EIT inverse problem, iterative Gauss-Newton method is generally used due to its accuracy and fast convergence. However, its performance is still suboptimal and mainly depends on the selection of regularization parameter. Although, there are few methods available to determine the regularization parameter such as L-curve method they are sometimes not applicable for all cases. Moreover, regularization parameter is a scalar and it is fixed during iteration process. Therefore, in this paper, a novel method is used to determine the regularization parameter to improve reconstruction performance. Conductivity norm is calculated at each iteration step and it used to obtain the regularization parameter which is a diagonal matrix in this case. The proposed method is applied to human thorax imaging and the reconstruction performance is compared with traditional methods. From numerical results, improved performance of proposed method is seen as compared to conventional methods.

Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) is an imaging technique where the internal resistivity distribution inside an object is reconstructed. The ERT image reconstruction is a highly nonlinear ill-posed problem, so regularization methods are used to achieve desired image. The reconstruction outcome is dependent on the type of regularization method employed such as l2-norm, l1-norm, and total variation regularization method. That is, use of an appropriate regularization method considering the flow characteristics is necessary to attain good reconstruction performance. Therefore, in this paper, regularization methods are tested through numerical simulations with different flow conditions and the performance is compared.

Generally, a performance management consists of the iterative process of performance monitoring, performance analysis, and performance tuning. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of performance monitor and performance tuner which can be used on the top of SPAX, also known as TICOM IV. SPAX has a hierarchical structure. All nodes, each of which has a local memory, are connected to the interconnection network and constructed to form clusters. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new performance monitor reflecting the underlying hierarchical structure of SPAX, to implement performance monitoring more effectively. Implemented performance monitor can monitor the state of nodes, clusters, and total system of SPAX at realtime. And, implemented performance tuner can change the value of variables related to the performance of SPAX. System manager can perform an effective performance management by using the proposed performance management tools.

The exploitation of locality of reference in shared memory NUMA multiprocessors is one of the improtant problems in parallel processing today. In this paper, we propose a revised hardeare reference counter to help operating system to manage locality. In contrast to the previous one, the value of counter can abe adjusted dynamically and periodically to adapt the page replication policy to the various memory reference patterns of processors. We use execution-driven simulation of real applications to evaluate the effectiveness of our adjustable DELAY counter. Our main conclusijon is that by using the adjustable DELAY counter the t normalized average memory access costs and the variance of them become smaller for most applications than the previous one and more robust memory management policies can be provided for the operating systems.

Contemporary computer systems exploits DVFS (Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling) technology for balancing performance and power consumption. The efficiency of DVFS depends on how much performance we get for larger power consumption due to elevated CPU frequency. Especially for memory-bounded applications, higher CPU frequency often does not result in higher performance. In this paper, we present an upper bound of CPU frequency scaling based on memory accesses. It is observed that the performance gain due to higher CPU frequency is limited by memory accesses (last level cache misses) per instructions by experiments. Using the results, we present the CPU frequency upper bound with little performance gain. Experimental results show that for a memory-bounded application, applying the frequency upper bound enhances the energy efficiency of the application by above 30%.
