In this paper, we introduce an implementation method of the CBS (Cycle Base Simulator), which describes the operation of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) at a pipeline cycle level. The CBS is coded with C++, and is verified by comparing the results from the CBS and HDL simulation of the DSP with the various test vectors and application programs. The CBS shows the data about the internal registers, status flags, data bus, address bus, input and output pin of the DSP, and also the control signals at each pipeline cycle. The developed CBS can be used in evaluating the performance of the target DSP before the RTL(Register Transfer Level) coding as well as a reference for the RTL level design.

본 논문에서는 C 언어로 코딩된 32 비트 부동소수점 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)의 CBS(Cycle Base Simulator)의 설계에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 개발된 CBS는 TMS320C30과 호환되는 DSP 설계를 위한 것으로 VHDL로 게이트 레벨 설계에 앞서 DSP의 구조, 기능블록의 동작, 제어신호 등을 확정하는 데 사용된다. CBS는 상용 시뮬레이터에서는 제공되지 않는 각 파이프라인 스텝에서의 제어신호, 주요 기능 기능블록의 값, 버스 및 레지스터의 값을 알려주므로 게이트 레벨 설계시 중요한 레퍼런스가 된다. 이러한 주 기능 외에 CBS의 효율적인 수행과 결과 확인을 위하여 여러 가지 인터페이스 기능이 추가되었다. CBS의 동작의 검증은 여러 알고리즘에 대하여 상용 시뮬레이터의 결과 비교를 통하여 이루어졌으며, 전체 DSP의 시뮬레이션 속도는 VHDL을 통한 로직 시뮬레이션보다 수십 배가 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 만든 CBS는 특정 DSP를 위한 것이지만 그 개념은 다른 VLSI 설계에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

인공무릎관절의 수명에 직접적인 영향을 주는 인자는 접촉면에 대한 접촉면적과 압력분포이다 따라서. 이에 대한 실험적인 평가가 필요하였고 knee simulator 혹은 K-scan sensor를 포함한 시스템과 같은 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 지금까지 보행주기에 따른 연속적인 인공관절 운동에 대한 접촉면의 압력분포를 실시간으로 분석한 연구는 미흡하다 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 보행주기를 모사하는 simulator와 I-scan을 이용하여 연속적인 동작에 따른 접촉면의 압력분포를 분석함에 있다. 본 연구의 목적을 이루기 위해서 생체내 인공관절 환경을 정확히 표현할 수 있는 knee simulator를 제작하였다. 네 방향의 자유도를 갖고 있는 본 simulator는 soft tissue의 기능을 포함하고 있고 PC Program을 통하여 압축하중과 femoral component의 굴곡각을 조절할 수 있다. 본 시스템의 I-scan sensor는 보행주기에 따른 압력분포를 분석할 수 있다. 보행주기에 대한 압력분포는 압축하중곡선에 따라 주요하게 변화함을 알 수 있고 운동성에 영향을 쿠는 압력중심의 위치도 변한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제작한 knee simulator는 보행주기 같은 특정의 운동정보를 이용하여 접촉면의 압력분포 및 운동성 같은 기계적 성능을 평가할 수 있고 형상 설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있다.

In lunar explorer development program, computer simulator is necessary to provide virtual environments that vehicle confronts in lunar transfer, orbit, and landing missions, and to analyze dynamic behavior of the spacecraft under these environments. Objective of simulation differs depending on its application in spacecraft development cycle. Scope of use cases considered in this paper includes simulation of software based, processor and/or hardware in the loop, and support of ground-based flight test of developed vehicle. These use cases represent early phase in development cycle but reusability of modeling results in the next design phase is considered in defining requirements. A simulator architecture in which simulator platform is located in the middle and modules for modeling, analyzing, and three dimensional visualizing are connected to that platform is suggested. Baseline concepts and requirements for simulator development are described. Result of trade study for selecting simulation platform and approaches of defining other simulator components are summarized. Finally, characters of lunar elevation map data which is necessary for lunar terrain generation is described.

In this paper to cope with the reduction of products life-cycle as the variety of products along with the various demands of consumers, a virtual simulator is developed to make the changeover of manufacturing line efficient to embody a virtual simulation similar to a real manufacturing line. The developed virtual simulator can design a layout of a factory and make the time scheduling. Every factory has one simulator so that one product can be manufactured in the factories to use them as virtual factories. We suggest a scheme that heightens the ability to the diversity of manufacturing models by making the information of manufacturing lines and products models to be shared. The developed system embodies a virtual manufacturing line on the simulation using various manipulators and work cells as manufacturing components. we develop a virtual simulator system on Window 98/NT environment of Microsoft, operating system using of the greater part of PC user. Window program have a merit making GUI environment that programmer can use without the expert knowledge about hardware. A suer with the simulator can utilize an interface that makes one to manage the separate task process for each manufacturing module, change operator components and work cells, and easily teach tasks of each task module.

Currently, there are increasing demands for applying deep neural networks (DNNs) in the embedded domain such as classification and object detection. The DNN processing in embedded domain often requires custom hardware such as NPU for acceleration due to the constraints in power, performance, and area. Processing DNN models requires a large amount of data, and its seamless transfer to NPU is crucial for performance. In this paper, we developed a cycle-accurate NPU simulator to evaluate diverse NPU microarchitectures. In addition, we propose a novel technique for reducing the number of memory accesses when processing convolutional layers in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on the NPU. The main idea is to reuse data with memory interleaving, which recycles the overlapping data between previous and current input windows. Data memory interleaving makes it possible to quickly read consecutive data in unaligned locations. We implemented the proposed technique to the cycle-accurate NPU simulator and measured the performance with LeNet-5, VGGNet-16, and ResNet-50. The experiment shows up to 2.08x speedup in processing one convolutional layer, compared to the baseline.

This paper presents a HW/SW co-design environments and its validation for development of virtual component on the 32-bit RISC core which is used in the design of Information-Appliance-On-a-Chip. For the experimental environment, we developed the cycle-accurate instruction set simulator based on SE3208 RISC core of ADChips. To verify the function of RISC core at the cycle level, we implemented the verification environment by grafting this simulator on the Seamless CVE which is a commercial co-verification environment.

Flow characteristics of a compressible gas flow through a rotating disc-type rotary valve are investigated experimentally under various conditions. It is known that the mass flow rate through poppet valves of 4-stroke cycle engines and through piston valves of 2-stoke cycle engines decrease with increase in engine speed. Rotary valve is one means by which air may be made to flow inter-mittently through a pipe. In this paper an exhaust system simulator of engine was used to experi-mentally analyze the decrease in flow rate at high rotation speeds and to determine what variables other than rotational speed give rise to the observed behaviour. These variables have been included in an empirical equation which is representative of the measured flow characteristics.

The remote operation of the Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process (ACP) is analyzed by using the 3D graphic simulation tools. Since the spent nuclear fuel, which is a high radioactive material, is processed in the ACP, the ACP equipment is operated in intense radiation fields as well as in a high temperature. Thus, the equipment is operated in a remote manner and should be designed with consideration for the remote handling and maintenance. Also suitable remote handling technology needs to be developed along with the design of the process concepts. For this we developed a graphic simulator, which provides the capability of verifying the remote operability of the ACP without the fabrication of the process equipment. In other words, by applying virtual reality to the remote maintenance operation, a remote operation task can be simulated in the graphic simulator, not in the real environment. The graphic simulator will substantially reduce the cost of the development of the remote handling and maintenance procedure as well as the process equipment, while at the same time developing a remote maintenance concept that is more reliable, easier to implement, and easier to understand.
