In most application programs, loops usually contain most of the computation in a program and are the most improtant source of parallelism. When loops are executed on multiprocessors, the cross iteration data dependences need to be enforced by synchronization between processors. In this paper, we propose a new synchronization scheme(Free/Hold) for reducing overgeads occured by synchronization variables in data oriented scheme and delay of time occured by synchronization instruction in statement oriented scheme. The Free/Hold mechanism enforces the correct execution order by inserting synchronization instruction between each instance with data dependence relationship using the RD(Real dependence Distance). We also present an algorithm for removing unnecessary dependences in one-to-many dependences.

The interconnection network is an integral part of parallel processing system. The multistage interconnection networks(MINs) have been the objects of intense research in recent years. In this paper, simulation techniques for circuit switchign MIN are extended to allow the performance evaluation of partitioned ADM/IADM network. Based on simulation data, the relationship between the netwrok performance, the partitioning scheme employed, and the conflict resolution strategies used within the network is enumerated. It is shown that IADM network coupled with the use of the hold strategy produces the best network operation in terms of RST (Request Service Time).

To overcome the large hardware overhead attendant in the full scan design, the concept of partial scan design has emerged with the virtue of less area and testability close to full scan. Combinational Structure has been developed to avoid the use of sequential test generator. But the patterns sifted on scan register have to be held for sequential depth period upon the aid of the dedicated HOLD circuit. In this paper, a new levelized structure is introduced aiming to exclude the need of extra HOLD circuit. The time to stimulate each scan latch is uniquely determined on this structure, hence each test pattern can e applied by scan shifting and then pulsing a system clock like the full scan but with much les scan flip-flops. Experimental results show that some sequential circuits are levelized by just scanning self-loop flip-flops.

LCD panels are increasingly used to show moving image material, for example in LCD television sets. However, moving images become blurred on LCD panels. One of the causes of motion blur is the slow reaction of LC(liquid crystal) cell to change in the pixel value. Another cause of motion blur is the hold-type characteristic of the LCD panel, during the frame time the image is shown continuously. This type of motion blur can be reduced with a scanning backlight. We have designed and fabricated a scanning backlight system that solves the hold-type characteristic problem in a way that Flat fluorescent lamp divided 6 blocks was scanned 60Hz.

This paper studies urban growth in Korean cities. First, I document that population growth patterns change over time and that the current population distribution supports random urban growth. I confirm two empirical laws-Zipf's law and Gibrat's law-both of which hold in the period of 1995-2015, but do not hold in the earlier period of 1975-1995. Second, I find a systematic employment growth pattern of Korean cities in spite of the random population growth. I examine market access effects on employment growth. Market access, a geographical advantage, has a significant influence on urban employment growth. The market access effect is higher in the Seoul metropolitan area than in the rest of the country. This effect is stronger on employment growth in the manufacturing industry compared to employment growth in the service industry. These results are robust with various checks (e.g., different definitions of urban areas). The results here suggest that policymakers should consider geographical characteristics when they make policy decisions with respect to regional development.

A study on a creep-fatigue crack growth behavior has been carried out for a cylindrical structure with weldments by using a structural test and an evaluation according to the assessment procedures. The creep-fatigue crack growth behavior following the creep-fatigue crack initiation has been assessed by using the French A16 procedure and the conservatism for the present structural test has been examined. The structural specimen is a welded cylindrical shell made of 316 L stainless steel (SS) for one half of the cylinder and 304 SS for the other half. In the creep-fatigue test, the hold time under a tensile load which produces the primary nominal stress of 45 MPa was one hour at $600^{\circ}C$ and creep-fatigue loads of 600 cycles were applied. The evaluation results for the creep-fatigue crack propagation were compared with those of the observed images from the structural test. The assessment results for the creep-fatigue crack behavior according to the French Al6 procedure showed that the Al6 is overly conservative for the creep-fatigue crack propagation in the present case with a short hold time of one hour.

This article aims to apply a friction stir spot welding for producing a lap joint of AA1100 aluminum alloy and SGACD zinc coated steel. The experiment was designed by MINITAB and then investigated the relation among the friction spot joint parameters. The experimental results are as follows. The friction spot joining could successively produce the lap joint of AA1100 aluminum alloy and SGACD zinc coated steel. Interaction between the rotate speed, the hold time and the tool insert speed affected to vary the tensile shear strength of the lap joint. The prediction of the optimized welding parameters that indicated the tensile shear strength of 1966 N was the rotated speed of 4000 rpm, the pin hold time of 6 sec, the pin insert rate of 6 mm/min with the S/N ratio of 66.56 that was higher than that of the total mean S/N ratio. The practical experiment of the predicted welding parameters indicated the tensile shear strength of 2165 N and had the S/N ratio of 66.70 that was higher than the predicted tensile shear strength.

An asymmetric half-bridge is one of the most promising topology in low-power application because of its small number of components and inherent zero-voltage switching capability. However, when it is designed taking into a hold-up time, it has large transformer offset current and small transformer turns-ratio, which severely decreases the total efficiency of s converter. In this paper, a new boost-integrated asymmetric half-bridge converter is proposed to solve these problems. The integrated boost converter compensates the hold-up time, thus facilitating optimal design in nominal state. As a result, the proposed converter can achieve high efficiency in nominal state. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter, an experiment is conducted using a 250-400 V input and 45 V/3.3 A output prototype.

High$\cdot$speed steels (HSS) with a combination of good wear resistance and toughness are finding new, non-cutting applications such as rolls and rollers. In this paper, the research interests are focused on the microstructural evolution of a SMo-6W series high speed steel during HIPping and the effect of HIPping process parameters on its microstructure and properties. HIPping process variables includes; temperature, pressure and hold time. The microstructures of the HIPped HSS were examined by SEM, OM and X-ray diffraction whereas the properties measured were the relative density, hardness, and bend strength at room temperature. In HIPped materials, MC and M6C were the major carbides formed in a matrix of martensite. The effect of powder size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of HIPped materials was insignificant. However, HIPping temperature and hold time strongly affected the carbide size and distribution. The results show that at proper HIPping temperature and pressure conditions, the final products approach the full density ( > 99% RD). The particle boundaries were completely eliminated without an eminent microstructural coarsening. The bend strength was about 2.3 Gpa, which is superior to cast HSS. At excessive HIPping temperatures, rapid carbide coarsening occurred, thus deteriorating the mechanical properties of the P/M steels.

This paper analytically derives the variance of service time of a station in the symmetric IEEE 802.4 token bus network with single access class and finite buffer capacity. This performance measure is represented in terms of the total number of stations, the token hold time, the arrival rate of frames, the service rate, and other parameters. Using computer simulations, presented performance measure is validated.
