  • The development of memory design and process technology enabled the production of high density memory. As the weight of embedded memory within aggregate Systems-On-Chips(SoC) gradually increases to 80-90% of the number of total transistors, the importance of testing embedded dual-port memories in SoC increases. This paper proposes a new micro-code based programmable memory Built-In Self-Test(PMBIST) architecture for dual-port memories that support test various test algorithms. In addition, various test algorithms including March based algorithms and dual-port memory test algorithms are efficiently programmed through the proposed algorithm instruction set. This PMBIST has an optimized hardware overhead, since test algorithm can be implemented with the minimum bits by the optimized algorithm instructions.

  • This paper implements and improves the performance of high computational subtractive clustering algorithm using a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) based many-core processor. In addition, this paper implements five different processing element (PE) architectures (PEs=16, 64, 256, 1,024, 4,096) to select an optimal PE architecture for the subtractive clustering algorithm by estimating execution time and energy efficiency. Experimental results using two different medical images and three different resolutions ($128{\times}128$, $256{\times}256$, $512{\times}512$) show that PEs=4,096 achieves the highest performance and energy efficiency for all the cases.

  • In this paper, we applied the forward and backward error recovery techniques to a reduced instruction set computer (risc) processor to develop two fault-tolerant processors, namely, fetch redundant risc (FRR) processor and a redundancy execute risc (RER) processor. To evaluate the fault-tolerance capability of three target processors, we developed the base risc processor, FRR processor, and RER processor in SystemC hardware description language. We performed fault injection experiment using the three SystemC processor models and the SystemC-based simulation fault injection technique. From the experiments, for the 1-bit transient fault, the failure rate of the FRR, RER, and base risc processor were 1%, 2.8%, and 8.9%, respectively. For the 1-bit permanent fault, the failure rate of the FRR, RER, and base risc processor were 4.3%, 6.5%, and 41%, respectively. As a result, for 1-bit fault, we found that the FRR processor is more reliable among three processors.

  • In this paper we implemented various image processing filtering using the format converter. This design method is based on realized the large processor-per-pixel array by integrated circuit technology. These two types of integrated structure are can be classify associative parallel processor and parallel process DRAM (or SRAM) cell. Layout pitch of one-bit-wide logic is Identical memory cell pitch to array high density PEs in integrate structure. This format converter design has control path implementation efficiently, and can be utilize the high technology without complicated controller hardware. Sequence of array instruction are generated by host computer before process start, and instructions are saved on unit controller. Host computer is executed the pixel-parallel operation starting at saved instructions after processing start. As a result, we obtained three result that 1) simple smoothing suppresses higher spatial frequencies, reducing noise but also blurring edges, 2) a smoothing and segmentation process reduces noise while preserving sharp edges, and 3) median filtering may be applied to reduce image noise. Median filtering eliminates spikes while maintaining sharp edges and preserving monotonic variations in pixel values.

  • This paper describes ASIC design of Multimedia application SoC platform based RISC processor with BTB(Branch Target Buffer). For performance enhancement of platform, we use a simple branch prediction scheme, BTB structure, that stores a target address for branch instruction to remove pipeline harzard. Also, the platform includes a number of peripheral such as VGA controller, AC97 controller, UART controller, SRAM interface and Debug interface. The platform is designed and verified on a Xilinx VERTEX-4 FPGA using a number of test programs for functional tests and timing constraints. Finally, the platform is implemented into a single ASIC chip which can be operated at 100MHz clock frequency using the Chartered 0.18um process. As a result of performance estimation, the proposed platform shows about 5~9% performance improvement in comparison with the previous SoC Platform.

  • First of all, Developing information technology makes it possible to change a paradigm of all kinds of areas, including an education. Students can choose learning goals and objects themselves and acquire not the accumulation of knowledge but the method of their learning. Moreover, Teachers get to be adviser, and students play a key role in teaming. That is, the subject of leaning is students. Constructivism emphasizes the student-oriented environment of education, which corresponds to the characteristics of hypeimedia. In addition, Internet allows us to make a practical plan for constructivism. Web Based Internet provides us with a proper environment to make constructivism practice md causes an education system to change. Sure Web Based Instruction makes them motivated to learn more, they can gain plenty of information regardless of places or time. Besides, they are able to consult more up-to-date information regarding their learning use hypermedia such as an image, audio, video, and test, and effectively communicate with their instructor through a board, an e-mail, a chatting etc. A school and instructors have been making effort to develop a new model of a teaching method to cope with a new environment change.
