As processor platforms are continuously moving toward wireless mobile systems, embedded mobile processors are expected to perform more and more powerful, and therefore the development of an efficient power management algorithm for these battery-operated mobile and handheld systems has become a critical challenge. It is well known that a memory system is a main performance limiter in the processor point of view. Although many DVFS studies have been considered for the efficient utilization of limited battery resources, recent works do not explicitly show the interaction between the processor and the memory. In this research, to properly reflect short/long-term memory access patterns of the embedded workloads in wireless mobile processors, we propose a memory buffer utilization as a new index of DVFS level prediction. The simulation results show that our solution provides 5.86% energy saving compared to the existing DVFS policy in case of memory intensive applications, and it provides 3.60% energy saving on average.

In this paper, control of small PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell stack by a microprocessor is introduced. The water management of fuel cell stack inside, a key technique in fuel cell control, can be achieved by adjusting the required air flow for fuel and cooling, and by purging the excessive water from the stack. It is very important to precisely control the BOS(Balance of Stack) since the stable operation of the fuel cell system mainly depends on it. In this study the fuel efficiency of the system is improved by the control of the system based on the measured air flow and purge cycle during the optimal operation and its effectiveness is proved by the experiments. The operating stability of the system is improved by the developed controller using a microprocessor and it is expected to be widely used for the control of small PEM fuel cell stack.

In this paper, the Power Management System(PMS) which based on a decision making system according to power strategy is proposed and implemented. PMS is designed to have functions of power monitoring. controlling, synchronizing load sharing and monitoring of driving engine, etc. PMS consists of the internet communication system(ICS). Remote Management System(RMS) and Sensor Driver System (SDS) ICS transmits the monitoring and supervisory data via Internet to Remote Management System(RMS) in real-time SDS detects various power system data on local generator and utility via I/O interface system. I/O interface system receives various status data and outputs control signals. Implemented PMS is tested with dummy signal to verify proposed functions and shows good results. For future study implemented PMS will be tested under real load condition to merchandize.

전기자동차의 축전지 관리 시스템(BMS : Battery Management System)의 잔존용량(SOC : State Of Charge)산정에는 Ah 측정법, 비중측정법, 전압측정법 등이 있다. 기존 전압 측정법의 경우 측정 전압을 프로세서에서 직접 처리하기 때문에 축전지의 미세한 전압 변화를 측정하지 못하여 잔존 용량 산정시 세밀한 계산에 어려움이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 축전지의 전압 측정 시 프로세서 전단에 전압의 부분 증폭회로를 추가하여 축전지의 미세한 전압변화를 증폭하여 측정하는 방법을 제안 하였다. 니켈수소전지를 대상으로 실험한 결과 충전 중 기존 전압측정법은 1.431V, 1.436V, 1.441V가 측정 되었을 때의 잔존 용량은 84%로 일정하였다. 같은 전압변화에서 부분증폭회로를 적용한 충전전압은 1.4297V, 1.4303V ~ 1.4352V, 1.4358V로 측정 되었으며, 그에 따른 잔존용량은 84% ~ 85%로 기존 전압 측정법 보다 약 9 ~ 10배 정도 세밀하게 측정 되었다. 제안한 방법을 통한 실험으로 제안된 방법이 기존 전압 측정법보다 세밀한 전압 측정 및 SOC산정이 가능함을 확인 하였다.

Due to the development of society, the demand for electric power has increased and the quality control of electric power has become an important issue. In order to efficiently perform such power management, we propose a DSP based power measurement system for multi-wire power measurement. Since the conventional power measurement system can measure only the power of one line, a power quality measurement device is required for each line in order to measure the power quality of the individual line. Respectively. The system proposed in this paper proposes a system capable of real-time measurement of power quality at up to 12 points using digital signal processing algorithm, and the prototype based on this system was evaluated through the official test report of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. As a result of the performance test, it was evaluated that the error range is excellent at ${\pm}0.3%$.

모바일 디바이스의 성능이 향상되고 무선 네트워크에 기반한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅이 새로운 패러다임으로 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만, 모바일 디바이스는 여전히 프로세서의 처리 능력, 메모리 크기, 그리고 네트워크 대역폭 면에서 제약이 많기 때문에 이를 극복하기 위한 미들웨어의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 미들웨어의 효과적인 개발을 위한 시뮬레이션 툴을 설계하고 ns2(network simulator 2) 상에서 구현하였다. 이 시뮬레이션 툴은 유비쿼터스 환경에서 디바이스의 자원 관리, 프로세서와 네트워크 상에서의 소요 전력 측정, 네트워크의 가용 대역폭 측정, 상황 인식(context-aware) 및 코드 마이그레이션 기능을 제공하며 이를 통하여 다양한 모바일 미들웨어를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다.

This paper describes scheduling algorithms of the UNIX operating system and shows an analytical approach to approximate the average conditional response time for a process in the UNIX operating system. The average conditional response time is the average time between the submittal of a process requiring a certain amount of the CPU time and the completion of the process. The process scheduling algorithms in thr UNIX system are based on the priority service disciplines. That is, the behavior of a process is governed by the UNIX process schuduling algorithms that (ⅰ) the time-shared computer usage is obtained by allotting each request a quantum until it completes its required CPU time, (ⅱ) the nonpreemptive switching in system mode and the preemptive switching in user mode are applied to determine the quantum, (ⅲ) the first-come-first-serve discipline is applied within the same priority level, and (ⅳ) after completing an allotted quantum the process is placed at the end of either the runnable queue corresponding to its priority or the disk queue where it sleeps. These process scheduling algorithms create the round-robin effect in user mode. Using the round-robin effect and the preemptive switching, we approximate a process delay in user mode. Using the nonpreemptive switching, we approximate a process delay in system mode. We also consider a process delay due to the disk input and output operations. The average conditional response time is then obtained by approximating the total process delay. The results show an excellent response time for the processes requiring system time at the expense of the processes requiring user time.
