The acceleration of neural networks has become an important topic in the field of computer vision. An accelerator is absolutely necessary for accelerating the lightweight model. Most accelerator-supported operators focused on direct convolution operations. If the accelerator does not provide GEMM operation, it is mostly replaced by CPU operation. In this paper, we proposed an optimization technique for 2-stage tiling-based GEMM routines on VTA. We improved performance of the matrix multiplication routine by maximizing the reusability of the input matrix and optimizing the operation pipelining. In addition, we applied the proposed technique to the DarkNet framework to check the performance improvement of the matrix multiplication routine. The proposed GEMM method showed a performance improvement of more than 2.4 times compared to the non-optimized GEMM method. The inference performance of our DarkNet framework has also improved by at least 2.3 times.

최근 백령도 해역에서 발생한 규모 4.3에 해당하는 중규모 지진(2011년 6월 17일)으로부터 관측된 지반진동 파형을 이용하여 지진원 기구 및 수평 응답스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 분석결과를 한반도의 응력방향과 비교하였고 또한 국내 원자력 관련 구조물의 내진설계 기준과 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준과 각각 비교하였다. 지진원 연구에 이용된 지반진동은 3개 관측소(각 관측소에서 3성분)에서 관측된 전파형에 대해 모멘트텐서 기본식을 이용한 격자탐색법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 지진원기구에서 제시하는 주압축응력 방향은 ENE-WSW 방향으로 기존 한반도 전체의 주 응력방향과 대체로 유사하였다. 원자력 관련 구조물의 내진설계 기준과 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준과 각각 비교하였다. 국내 원자력시설물의 내진기준으로 이용되고 있는 Reg. Guide 1.60과 비교한 결과 특히 약 3 Hz 이상의 높은 고유진동수 영역에서 Reg. Guide 1.60 기준보다 높은 값을 보여 주었다. 또한 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준인 표준 설계응답스펙트럼을 비교한 결과 약 0.8초 이하의 단주기 영역의 전체 대역(SD 지반조건)에서 자료처리 결과가 기준을 크게 초과하였다. 향후 국내 지진활동 실정에 적합한 내진설계 기준 마련을 위해 관측자료의 질적 향상 및 양적인 축적 등을 통하여 특히 높은 고유진동수 대역에서 수평응답스펙트럼 기준의 보수성을 재고할 필요가 있다.

Objectives The combination extract of four kinds of herbs, Gastrodia elata, Liriope platyphylla, Dimocarpus longan, and Salvia miltiorrhiza, has shown to have memory improving effects in mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the herbal mixture for improving working memory as well as microstructural changes in white matter integrity in individuals with subjective memory complaints. Methods Seventy-five individuals with subjective memory complaints were assigned to receive either placebo (n = 15) or herbal mixture (low-dose group, n = 30 and high-dose group, n = 30) supplementation in an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Changes in working memory performance and fractional anisotropy (FA) values reflecting white matter integrity from baseline to 8-week endpoint were assessed. Results The herbal mixture group showed an increase in working memory performance compared to the placebo group (p for interaction = 0.001). In addition, the herbal mixture group showed an increase in FA values in the temporo-parietal regions (corrected p < 0.05), which are crucially involved in working memory function and are among the most affected regions in patients with cognitive impairments. Conclusions Findings from this study indicate that the herbal mixture may be a promising therapeutic option for individuals with subjective memory complaints.

We present AB9, a neural processor for inference acceleration. AB9 consists of a systolic tensor core (STC) neural network accelerator designed to accelerate artificial intelligence applications by exploiting the data reuse and parallelism characteristics inherent in neural networks while providing fast access to large on-chip memory. Complementing the hardware is an intuitive and user-friendly development environment that includes a simulator and an implementation flow that provides a high degree of programmability with a short development time. Along with a 40-TFLOP STC that includes 32k arithmetic units and over 36 MB of on-chip SRAM, our baseline implementation of AB9 consists of a 1-GHz quad-core setup with other various industry-standard peripheral intellectual properties. The acceleration performance and power efficiency were evaluated using YOLOv2, and the results show that AB9 has superior performance and power efficiency to that of a general-purpose graphics processing unit implementation. AB9 has been taped out in the TSMC 28-nm process with a chip size of 17 × 23 ㎟. Delivery is expected later this year.

The notion of quasi-Einstein manifolds arose during the study of exact solutions of the Einstein field equations as well as during considerations of quasi-umbilical hypersurfaces. For instance, the Robertson-Walker spacetimes are quasi-Einstein manifolds. The object of the present paper is to study Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds. Some basic geometric properties of such a manifold are obtained. The applications of Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds to the general relativity and cosmology are investigated. Theories of gravitational collapse and models of Supernova explosions [5] are based on a relativistic fluid model for the star. In the theories of galaxy formation, relativistic fluid models have been used in order to describe the evolution of perturbations of the baryon and radiation components of the cosmic medium [32]. Theories of the structure and stability of neutron stars assume that the medium can be treated as a relativistic perfectly conducting magneto fluid. Theories of relativistic stars (which would be models for supermassive stars) are also based on relativistic fluid models. The problem of accretion onto a neutron star or a black hole is usually set in the framework of relativistic fluid models. Among others it is shown that a quasi-Einstein spacetime represents perfect fluid spacetime model in cosmology and consequently such a spacetime determines the final phase in the evolution of the universe. Finally the existence of such manifolds is ensured by several examples constructed from various well known geometric structures.

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences of hip and thigh muscle activities between subjects with increased and decreased femoral anteversion during stair ascent. Twelve healthy female volunteers participated in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups (group 1 with increased anteversion of the hip, group 2 with decreased anteversion of the hip). This study analyzed differences in each mean peak gluteus maximus (GM), gluteus medius (GD) and tensor fascia lata (TLF) EMG amplitude: composite mean peak hip muscles (GM, GD, TFL) EMG amplitude ratios and in each mean peak vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL), biceps femoris (HM) and semitendinosus (HL) EMG amplitude: composite thigh muscles (VMO, VL, HM, HL) EMG amplitude ratios among subjects with decreased or increased relative femoral anteversion. EMG ratios were compared in the stance and swing phase of stair ascent. Group 1 showed an increased standardized mean GM and GD EMG amplitude and decreased standardized mean TFL to composite mean hip muscles EMG amplitude ratios in stair ascent during both stance and swing phase. Also, group 1 showed an increased standardized mean HL EMG amplitude and decreased standardized mean VL and HM to composite mean thigh muscles EMG amplitude ratios in stair ascent during both stance and swing phases. There was no statistically significant difference in vastus medialis oblique between subjects with increased or decreased relative femoral anteversion. In order to provide rehabilitation professionals with a clearer picture of the specific requirements of the stair climbing task, further research must be expanded to include a wider range of age groups that represent the general public, such as including middle-aged healthy persons.

We present a new description of envelope-function equation of the superlattice (SL). The SL wave function and corresponding effective-mass equation are formulated in terms of a linear combination of Bloch states of the constituent material with smaller band gap. In this envelope-function formalism, we review the fundamental concept on the motion of a wave packet in the SL structure subjected to steady and uniform electric fields F. The review confirms that the average of SL crystal momentums K = ($k_x,k_y,q$), where ($K_x,k_y$) are bulk inplane wave vectors and q SL wave vector, included in a wave packet satisfies the equation of motion = $_0+Ft/h$; and that the velocity and acceleration theorems provide the same type of group velocity and definition of the effective mass tensor, respectively, as in the Bulk. Finally, Schlosser and Marcus's method for the band theory of metals has been by Altarelli to include the interface-matching condition in the variational calculation for the SL structure in the multi-band envelope-function approximation. We re-examine this procedure more thoroughly and present variational equations in both general and reduced forms for SLs, which agrees in form with the proposed envelope-function formalism. As an illustration of the application of the present work and also for a brief investigation of effects of band-parameter difference on the subband energy structure, we calculate by the proposed variational method energies of non-strained $GaAs/Al_{0.32}Ga_{0.68}As$ and strained $In_{0.63}Ga_{0.37}As/In_{0.73}Ga_{0.27}As_{0.58}P_{0.42}SLs$ with well/barrier widths of $60{\AA}/500{\AA}$ and 30${\AA}/30{\AA}$, respectively.

Developments of Solid-State Gyroscopy during last decades are impressive and were based on thin-walled shell resonators like HRG or CRG made from fused quartz or leuko-sapphire. However, a number of design choices for inertial-grade gyroscopes, which can be used for high-g applications and for mass- or middle-scale production, is still very limited. So, considerations of fundamental physical effects in solids that can be used for development of a miniature, completely solid-state, and lower-cost sensor look urgent. There is a variety of different types of bulk acoustic (elastic) waves (BAW) in anisotropic solids. Shear waves with different variants of their polarization have to be studied especially carefully, because shear sounds in glasses and crystals are sensitive to a turn of the solid as a whole, and, so, they can be used for development of gyroscopic sensors. For an isotropic medium (for a glass or a fine polycrystalline body), classic Lame's theorem (so-called, a general solution of Elasticity Theory or Green-Lame's representation) has been modified for enough general case: an elastic medium rotated about an arbitrary set of axes. Travelling, standing, and mixed shear waves propagating in an infinite isotopic medium (or between a pair of parallel reflecting surfaces) have been considered too. An analogy with classic Foucault's pendulum has been underlined for the effect of a turn of a polarizational plane (i.e., an integration effect for an input angular rate) due to a medium's turn about the axis of the wave propagation. These cases demonstrate a whole-angle regime of gyroscopic operation. Single-crystals are anisotropic media, and, therefore, to reflect influence of the crystal's rotation, classic Christoffel-Green's tensors have been modified. Cases of acoustic axes corresponding to equal velocities for a pair of the pure-transverse (shear) waves have of an evident applied interest. For such a special direction in a crystal, different polarizations of waves are possible, and the gyroscopic effect of "polarizational precession" can be observed like for a glass. Naturally, formation of a wave pattern in a massive elastic body is much more complex due to reflections from its boundaries. Some of these complexities can be eliminated. However, a non-homogeneity has a fundamental nature for any amorphous medium due to its thermodynamically-unstable micro-structure, having fluctuations of the rapidly-frozen liquid. For single-crystalline structures, blockness (walls of dislocations) plays a similar role. Physical nature and kinematic particularities of several typical "drifts" in polarizational BAW gyros (P-BAW) have been considered briefly too. They include irregular precessions ("polarizational beats") due to: non-homogeneity of mass density and elastic moduli, dissymmetry of intrinsic losses, and an angular mismatch between propagation and acoustic axes.

3차원적 타원체 형태 ($a_1>a_2>a_3$)를 사용하여, 2가지의 종횡비 (1차 종횡비 $\rho_{\alpha}$와 2차 종횡비 $\rho_{\beta}$)를 갖는 배열된 3차원 형태의 충전제를 포함하는 복합체의 열팽창 변화를 이론적으로 예측하는 모델을 연구하였다. Eshelby의 등가 텐서를 이용하여 배열된 타원형 충전제를 기지재의 이론에 의해 열팽창 계수를 예측할 수 있었다. 종단방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{11}$는 두 가지 종횡비 모두 증가하면, 감소하여 충전제의 열팽창에 접근한다. 수직방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{33}$는 충전제 함유량에 따라 초기에는 증가하여 최대값을 갖는 경향을 보인다. 1차 종횡비 $\rho_{\alpha}$가 증가하면, 횡단방향 열팽창 계수는 감소하나, 2차 종횡비 $\rho_{\beta}$가 증가하면, 같이 증가한다. 또한, 수직방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{33}$는 $\rho_{\alpha}$가 증가하면 증가하나, $\rho_{\beta}$가 증가하면, ${\alpha}_{33}$는 반대로 감소한다.
