This paper represents a design of a 4 way SIMD processor with multi-thread and dual phase instruction pipeline. 8 threads can be performing in round-robin order, so any hazards can’t occur. The dual phase pipeline makes a pipeline operate as two pipelines, and it can fetch maximum 4 unit instructions at once. This variable length instruction set divide into first phase and second phase instructions, and with this function, complex branch and addressing can be executed at one clock cycle. This processor reduces the code size to quarter, pull out the doubled performance improvement than normal SIMD architecture.

This paper describes the system which automatically generates power-minimized embedded cores from MDL descriptions. An automatic generation system is constructed which generated embedded cores which consumes less power for application programs. From the usage information on pipeline stages for each instruction, the proposed system generates embedded cores with the capability of detecting/resolving pipeline hazards. The generated cores are configured such that the power consumption is minimized. The proposed system has been tested by generating HDL codes for ARM9, MIPS R3000 architectures. Experimental results show functional accuracy of the generated cores, and show that power reduction of $20%{\sim}40%$ has been observed for benchmark programs.

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) has been used in shipping and offshore industries for many years, supporting the decision-making process to guarantee safe running at different stages of design, fabrication and throughout service life. The assessments of a risk perspective are informed by the frequency of events (probability) and the associated consequences. As the number of offshore platforms increases, so does the length of subsea pipelines, thus there is a need to extend this approach and enable the subsea industry to place more emphasis on uncertainties. On-board operations can lead to objects being dropped on subsea pipelines, which can cause leaks and other pipeline damage. This study explains how to conduct hit frequency analyses of subsea pipelines, using historical data, and how to obtain a finite number of scenarios for the consequences analysis. An example study using probabilistic methods is used.

Since the hydraulic fracturing field testing method was introduced first to Korean geotechnical engineers in 1994, there have been lots of progresses in a hardware system as well as an interpretation tool. The hydrofracturing system of first generation was the pipe-line type, so it was not easy to handle. It had been modified to a wire-line system at their second generation. It was more compact one but it also needed an additional air-compressor. Our current system is much more compact and operated by all-in-one system, so it doesn't need an additional air-compressor. With a progress in a hardware system, the software for analyzing the in-situ stress regime has also been progressed. For example, the shut-in pressure, which is the most ambiguous parameter to be obtained from hydrofracturing pressure curves, can now be acquired automatically from the various methods. While the hardware and software for hydrofracturing tests are being developed during the last decade, the author could accumulate the field test results which can cover the almost whole area of South Korea. Currently these field data are used widely in a feasibility study or a preliminary design step for tunnel construction in Korea. Regarding the difficulties in a site selection and a test performance for the in-situ stress measurement at an off-shore area, the in-situ stress regime obtained from the field experiences in the land area can be used indirectly for the design of a sub-sea tunnel. From the hydrofracturing stress measurements, the trend of magnitude and direction of in-situ stress field was shown identically with the geological information in Korea.

The ice keel gouge and seabed interaction is one of the major considerations in the design of an Arctic pipeline system. Ice keel and seabed interaction engineering models based on experimental data, which give an explicit equation for estimating the ice gouging depth, have been suggested. The suggested equations usually overestimate the ice keel gouging depth. In addition, various types of numerical analyses have been carried out to verify the suggested engineering model equations in comparison to the experimental data. However, most of numerical analysis results were also overestimated compared with the laboratory experimental data. In this study, a numerical analysis considering the contact condition and geostatic stress was carried out to predict the ice keel gouging depth and compared with the previous studies. Considering the previously mentioned conditions, more accurate results were produced compared with the laboratory experiment results and the error rate was reduced compared to previous numerical analysis studies.

Two different methods of free span analysis of offshore pipelines by DnV codes were introduced and compared in order to calculate the allowable free span lengths of the offshore pipelines. The allowable span lengths of the offshore pipelines for installation, hydrotest and operation conditions by static and dynamic span analysis were determined. Static analysis was performed by ASME codes and dynamic span analysis was performed by both 1981 DnV code. Comparison of two codes were carried out. A new design procedure to calculate the allowable span lengths was developed with new DnV code.

Subsea pipelines are exposed to several potential risks of damage due to wave, soil instability and other hazards. Structural failure of the steel pipelines will result in serious consequences such as release of transported hydrocarbons, pollution to the ocean environment and heavy costs due to repair. This paper examines the safety of subsea pipelines with free span which is one of high potential damages. The variation of an allowable length of static free span is examined for different boundary conditions and is given in a curve which is useful for the dsign of the subsea pipeline with a free span.

Carbon dioxide ocean disposal is one of the promising options to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. So, in the present study, calculations of the solubility, the surface concentration and the dissolution behavior of carbon dioxide when liquid carbon dioxide is released at 1,000m and 1,500m in depth are performed. The results show that liquid carbon dioxide changes to carbon dioxide bubbles around 500m in depth, and the hydrate acts as a resistant layer for the dissolution of liquid carbon dioxide. Also. the injection of liquid carbon dioxide from a moving ship is more effective than that from a fixed pipeline.

Since no single routing-switching combination performs the best under various different types of applications, a flexible network is required to support a range of polices. This paper introduces an implementation of a look-up table routing engine offering flexible routing and switching polices without performance degradation unlike those based on microprocessors. By deciding contents of look-up tables, the engine can implement wormhole routing, virtual cut-through routing, and packet switching, as well as hybrid switching, under a variety of routing algorithms. Since the routing engine has a piplelined look-up table architecture, the routing delay is as small as one flit, and thus it can overlap multiple routing actions without performance degradation in comparison with hardwired routers dedicated to a specific policy. Because four pipeline stages do not induce a hazard, expensive forwarding logic is not required. The routing engine can accommodate four physical links with a time shared cut-through bus or single link with a cross-bar switch. It is implemented using Xilinx 4000 series FPGA.
