This paper evaluates and analyzes the performance of TILE-Gx36(Gx36), a many-core processor. The PARSEC parallel benchmark suite was used to measure the performance, and Core i7 (i7) and Atom are used for the performance comparison. When experimented with the maximum number of threads that can be executed concurrently on each machine, Gx36 showed a 2.73${\times}$ inferior performance to Core i7 and a 1.93${\times}$ superior performance to Atom. Gx36 has the largest Last Level Cache(LLC) among the compared processors. Nevertheless, it reported the biggest number of LLC misses, which, we strongly believe, is the major culprit for lower performance than expected. Our study suggests that the DDC employed in Gx36 is not a favorable cache structure for the general-purpose high-performance computing. The actual measurement with off-the-shelf machine provides non-biased data for polishing the future many-core architecture.

Several studies have reported the impact of core affinity on the network I/O performance of multi-core systems. As the network bandwidth increases significantly, it becomes more important to determine the effective core affinity. Although a framework for dynamic core affinity that considers both network and disk I/O has been suggested, the multiple queues provided by high-speed I/O devices are not properly supported. In this paper, we extend the existing framework of dynamic core affinity to efficiently support the multiple queues of high-speed I/O devices, such as 40 Gigabit Ethernet and NVM Express. Our experimental results show that the extended framework can improve the HDFS file upload throughput by up to 32%, and can provide improved scalability in terms of the number of cores. In addition, we analyze the impact of the assignment policy of multiple I/O queues across a number of cores.

I performed a semi-analytical numerical analysis of the effects of core size and electric field intensity on the light emission wavelength of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The analysis used a quantum mechanical approach; I solved the Schrödinger equation describing the electron-hole pairs of QDs. The numerical solutions are described using a basis set composed of the eigenstates of the Schrödinger equation; they are thus equivalent to analytical solutions. This semi-analytical numerical method made it simple and reliable to evaluate the dependency of QD characteristics on the QD core size and electric field intensity. As the QD core diameter changed from 9.9 to 2.5 nm, the light emission wavelength of CdSe core-only QDs varied from 262.9 to 643.8 nm, and that of CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs from 279.9 to 697.2 nm. On application of an electric field of 8 × 10⁵ V/cm, the emission wavelengths of green-emitting CdSe and CdSe/ZnS QDs increased by 7.7 and 3.8 nm, respectively. This semi-analytical numerical analysis will aid the choice of QD size and material, and promote the development of improved QD light-emitting devices.

This research aims at identifying through literature analysis the extent of past research related to the protection of personal information and privacy of library users. This study was conducted in 3 stages of literature analysis suggested by other researchers, including Powell (2005). First, I found and collected literature related to personal information and library user privacy. Second, I reviewed the collected literature and identified detailed subjects and core concepts. Third, I analyzed the core subjects, main discussion points, and related examples shown in those papers divided into 7 subgroups. I examine library privacy from various angles through literature analysis, and the results of this paper would be useful for establishing library privacy policies and developing guidelines for librarians.

This study aimed at investigating the physics curriculum implemented in science core schools. Thus, the researchers analyzed the science curriculum articulated in the annual reports of science core schools and interviewed some teachers in the schools to identify the features of the physics curriculum. The research findings were as follows: First, with respect to the teaching units by subjects, general science had the largest proportion, as much as 6.7 hours in average, and physics I and II were 4.2 and 4.4 hours, respectively, which were similar to other subjects such as chemistry, life science, and earth science. Second, most of schools opened the courses of physics I and II with two hours for two semesters. Fourteen schools taught physics I as an intensive unit whereas nine schools taught physics II intensively. In the case of specialized subjects, the most frequent one was independent research, and advanced physics was taught in 7 schools whereas physics experiments were done in 34 schools. Based on the findings, this study gives some implications about how to organize the physics curriculum in science core schools according to the 2015 revised science curriculum.

This paper shows the impedance profile of PEEC(Partial Equivalent Electrical Circuit) PDN(Power Distribution Networks) including core and I/O circuit. Through the simulated results, we find that the core power noise having connection with I/O power is affected by I/O switching. Also, using designed $74{\times}5inch$ DLL(Delay Locked Loop) test board, we analyzed the effect of power noise on operation region of chip. Jitter of a DLL measure for frequency of $50{\sim}400MHz$ and compared with impedance obtained result of simulation. Jitter of a DLL are increased near about frequency of 100MHz. It is reason that the resonant peak of PDNs has an impedance of more the 1ohm on 100MHz. we present the impedance profile of a chip and board for the decoupling capacitor reduced the target impedance. Therefore, power supply network design should be considered not only decoupling capacitors but also core switching current and I/O switching current.

Inorganic and inorganic/organic microcapsules were prepared by spray drying. $K_{4}SO$ and clay were used as the core and colloidal silica as the shell for the inoroganic microcapsules. Forthe inorganic/organic microcapsules were used the inorganic microcapsule which were mentioned above (core) and ethyl cellulose (shell). To characterize the prepared microcapsule for the practical use, the homogenity of surface and pore volume are the dominent factors. At the volume ratio of 0.3/0.7 of core/shell, the spherical and homogeneous surfaces of inorganic microcapsule could be synthesized. In the case of inorganic/organic microcapsules, the weitht ratio was 0.76/0.24. The pore volume of inorganic/organic microcapsules decreases more than that of inorganic microcapsule. The more the amount of shell (ethyl cellulose) in inorganic/organic microcapsules increases, the more the coating became homogeneous and the pore volume decreased.

The present study aims to assess the excess induced reactivity in a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) for a Beyond Design Basis Accident (BDBA) scenario. The BDBA scenario as defined in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) of the reactor involves sticking of the control rod and filling of the inner and outer irradiation sites with water. At the end of the MNSR core life, 10.95 cm of Beryllium is added to the top of the core as a reflector which affects some neutronic parameters such as effective delayed neutrons fraction (${\beta}_{eff}$), the reactivity worth of inner and outer irradiation sites that are filled with water and the reactivity worth of the control rod. Given those influences and changes, new neutronic calculations are required to be able to demonstrate the reactor safety. Therefore, a validated MCNPX model is used to calculate all neutronic parameters at the end of the reactor core life. The calculations show that the induced reactivity in the BDBA scenario increases at the end of core life to $7.90{\pm}0.01mk$ which is significantly higher than the induced reactivity of 6.80 mk given in the SAR of MNSR for the same scenario but at the beginning of the core's life. Also this value is 3.90 mk higher than the maximum allowable operational limit (i.e. 4.00 mk).

Experimental investigation was carried out to study the natural convection of water and silicon oil due to end temperature differences in a horizontally insulated rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 0.1 with a special attention on the core configuration in the laminar boundary-layer flow regime. Rayleigh number ranges covered herein are Ra=4.40 * 10$^{6}$ -9.64 * 10$^{7}$ for water and Ra=1.69*10$^{5}$ -3.80*10$^{6}$ for silicon oil, respectively. In the case of water, for Ra.geq.2.21 * 10$^{7}$ there appeared distinct horizontal thermal layers adjacent to the horizontal boundaries in the core and the temperature distribution outside the horizontal thermal layers, i.e., in the mid-core region, is vertically stratified. The core flow pattern was shown to be nonparallel with a weak back flow in the mid-core for Ra.geq.3.63 *10$^{7}$ . In the case of silicon oil, distinct horizontal thermal layers appeared along the core horizontal boundaries for Ra.geq.1.27 * 10$^{6}$ with a stratified temperature distribution in the mid-core, but the core flow pattern in this case was shown to be parallel. In addition, secondary flow appeared near the hot wall for Ra.geq.3.80 * 10$^{6}$ . Nusselt number, Nu, was found to be proportional to R $a^{0.3}$ for water and R $a^{0.28}$ for silicon oil in the boundary-layer flow regime. There also in an indication from the comparison with other results that Nu is independent of aspect ratio for water in the boundary-layer flow regime in low aspect ratio enclosures.res.

The magnetic properties of ultrathin $Fe_{84}B_{9}Nb_{7}$ nanocrystalline ribbon alloy with the thickness of $7-14\;\mu\textrm{m}$ were investigated. It was found that the effective permeability at the frequency over 100 kHz increased with decreasing ribbon thickness. Moreover the core loss decreased considerably with reduction of the ribbon thickness. The effective permeability at 1 MHz and the core loss at 1 MHz and 0.1 T for $Fe_{84}B_{9}Nb_{7}$ alloy with the thickness of $7\;\mu\textrm{m}$ were 3,700 and 2.7 W/cc, respectively. The reduction of thickness to less than $10\;\mu\textrm{m}$ was found to be very effective in obtaining high permeability and low core loss in the MHz frequency range. It was considered that the improvement of magnetic properties in the high frequency range was due to the reduction of the eddy current.
