Barrier is widely used for synchronization in parallel programs. Since the process arrived earlier than others should wait at the barrier, the total processor utilization decreases. In this paper, to find the sources of the barrier waiting time, parallel programs are executed on the various grain sizes through execution-driven simulations. In simulation studies, we found that even if approximately equal amounts of work are distributed to each processor, all processes may not arrive at a barrier at the same time. The reasons are that the different numbers of cache misses and instructions within partitioned grains result in the difference in arrival time of processors at the barrier.

A parallel processing algorithm for the discrete Kalman filter, which is one of the most commonly used filtering techniques in modern control, signal processing, and communication, is proposed. To decrease the number of computations critical in the Kalman filter, previously proposed parallel algorithms are of the hierarchical structure by distributed processing of measurements, or of the systolic structure to disperse the computational burden. In this paper, a new parallel Kalman filter employing a structure similar to recursive doubling is proposed. Estimated valuse of state variables by the new algorithm converge faster to the true values because the new algorithm can process data twice faster than the conventional Kalman filter. Moreover, it maintains the optimality of the conventional Kalman filter.

The ultrastructure ore of a nanostructured apatite film nucleated from solution was studied to gain insights into that of bone minerals which is the most important constituent to sustain the strength of bones. Needle-shaped apatite crystal plates with a bimodal size distribution $(\~100\;to\;\~1000 nm)$ were randomly distributed and they were found to grow parallel to the c-axis ([002]), driven by the reduction of surface energy. Between these randomly distributed needle-shaped apatite crystals which are parallel to the film, apatite crystals (20-40nm) with the normal of the grains quasi-perpendicular to the c-axis were observed. These observations suggest that the apatite film is the interwoven structure of apatite crystals with the c-axis parallel and quasi-perpendicular to the fan. In some regions, amorphous calcium phosphate, which is a precursor of apatite, was also observed. In the amorphous phase, small crystalline particle with the size of 2-3 nm were observed. These particles were quite similar, in size and shape, to those observed in the femoral trabecular bone, suggesting the nucleation of apatites by a biomimetic process in vitro is similar to that in vivo.

With rapid growth in the complexity of large scale engineering systems, the application of multidisciplinary analysis and design optimization (MDO) in the engineering design process has garnered much attention. MDO addresses the challenge of integrating several different disciplines into the design process. Primary challenges of MDO include computational expense and poor scalability. The introduction of a distributed, collaborative computational environment results in better utilization of available computational resources, reducing the time to solution, and enhancing scalability. SORCER, a Java-based network-centric computing platform, enables analyses and design studies in a distributed collaborative computing environment. Two different optimization algorithms widely used in multidisciplinary engineering design-VTDIRECT95 and QNSTOP-are implemented on a SORCER grid. VTDIRECT95, a Fortran 95 implementation of D. R. Jones' algorithm DIRECT, is a highly parallelizable derivative-free deterministic global optimization algorithm. QNSTOP is a parallel quasi-Newton algorithm for stochastic optimization problems. The purpose of integrating VTDIRECT95 and QNSTOP into the SORCER framework is to provide load balancing among computational resources, resulting in a dynamically scalable process. Further, the federated computing paradigm implemented by SORCER manages distributed services in real time, thereby significantly speeding up the design process. Part 1 covers SORCER and the algorithms, Part 2 presents results for aircraft panel design with curvilinear stiffeners.

One of the drawbacks of GA-based structural optimization is that the fitness evaluation of a population of hundreds of individuals requiring hundreds of structural analyses at each CA generation is computational too expensive. Therefore, a parallel genetic algorithm is developed for structural optimization on a cluster of personal computers in this paper. Based on the parallel genetic algorithm, a population at every generation is partitioned into a number of sub-populations equal to the number of slave computers. Parallelism is exploited at sub-population level by allocationg each sub-population to a slave computer. Thus, fitness of a population at each generation can be concurrently evaluated on a cluster of personal computers. For implementation of the algorithm a virtual distributed computing system in a collection of personal computers connected via a 100 Mb/s Ethernet LAN. The algorithm is applied to the minimum weight design of a steel structure. The results show that the computational time requied for serial GA-based structural optimization process is drastically reduced.

The growth of the World Wide Web and the advances in high-speed network access have greatly changed existing CAD/CAE environment. The WWW has enabled us to share various distributed product data and to collaborate in the design process. An international standard for the product model data, STEP, and a standard for the distributed object technology, CORBA, are very important technological components for the interoperability in the advanced design and manufacturing environment. These two technologies provide background for the sharing of product data and the integration of applications on the network. This paper describes a distributed CAD/CAE environment that is integrated on the network by CORBA and product model data standard STEP. Several prototype application modules were implemented to verify the proposed concept and the test result is discussed. Finite element analysis server are further distributed into several frontal servers for the implementation of distributed parallel solution of finite element system equations. Distributed computation of analysis server is also implemented by using CORBA for the generalization of the proposed method.

최근 데이터의 폭발적인 증가로 인해 대규모 데이터의 분석에 대한 요구를 충족할 수 있는 방법들이 계속 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 맵리듀스를 이용한 분산 병렬 처리를 통해 대규모 데이터 큐브의 효율적인 계산이 가능한 MRIterativeBUC 알고리즘을 제안하였다. MRIterativeBUC 알고리즘은 기존의 BUC 알고리즘을 맵리듀스의 반복적 단계에 따른 효율적인 동작이 가능하도록 개발되었고, 기존의 대규모 데이터 큐브 계산에 따른 문제인 데이터 크기와 저장 및 처리 능력의 한계를 해결하였다. 또한, 분석자의 관심 부분에 대해서만 계산하는 빙산 큐브 개념의 도입과 파티셔닝, 정렬과 같은 큐브 계산을 분산 병렬 처리하는 방법 등의 장점들을 통해 데이터 방출량을 줄여서 네트워크 부하를 줄이고, 각 노드의 처리량을 줄이며, 궁극적으로 전체 큐브 계산 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 맵리듀스를 이용한 데이터 큐브 계산에 대해서 상향식 처리와 반복적 알고리즘을 통해 다양한 확장이 가능하며, 여러 응용 분야에서 활용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
