In real-time 3D Graphics, pipeline optimization is one of techniques enhancing rendering performance. Pipeline optimization is kind of buffer reordering problem, but it is NP-hard. Therefore techniques that is approximating optimal solution and suitable for real-time 3D graphics are needed. This paper analyze pattern of rendering states changing costs for real-time 3D graphics, and based on this, the algorithm that brings rendering states into line by changing costs is proposed. The proposed technique shows good performance enhancement when costs of some rendering states are much higher than others. Proposed technique shows 2.5 to 4 times better performance than non-ordering algorithm and becomes more faster when rendering costs of a state gets higher.

이제는 하나뿐인 지구를 지키고 살리는 녹색혁명의 시대에 살고 있다. 이에 따라 컴퓨팅의 환경도 그린 컴퓨팅 환경으로 바뀌어지고 있다. 그린 컴퓨팅은 컴퓨팅 작업에 소모되는 에너지를 줄여보자는 것으로서 컴퓨터에 대한 전력을 절감함으로써 에너지 비용 절감, 저탄소 환경으로 구성하는 것이다. 그린 컴퓨팅은 녹색 ICT(Information ＆ Communication Technology)의 일환으로, 컴퓨터 자체를 움직이는 여러 에너지들 뿐만 아니라 컴퓨터의 냉각과 구동 및 주변기가들을 작동시키는데 소모되는 전력 등을 줄이기 위해서 CPU나 GPU등 각종 프로세서들의 재설계, 대체에너지 등을 활용하는 방안 등 탄소배출을 최소화시키는 등의 환경을 보호하는 개념의 컴퓨팅이다. Christian Belady 2007년 2월, Electronics Cooling Magazine의 통계에 의하면 2001년에는 인프라 비용과 전력 비용의 합이 서버의 가격과 같았고, 2004년에는 인프라 비용이 서버 비용과 같아졌다. 그런데, 2008년에는 에너지 비용 하나만으로도 서버 비용과 같아졌다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 이제 그린 IT, 그린 컴퓨팅은 하면 좋고, 안하고 말고가 아닌 하지 않으면 생존할 수 없는 필수적인 것으로 되어가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 KISTI 슈퍼컴퓨터에서의 그린 컴퓨팅을 구현하기 위하여 먼저 이를 적용하기 위한 서버 시스템을 설계 구축하고 각각의 프로그램을 개발하여 테스트하였다.

This paper aims to propose a cost-based mechanical, electrical, and plumbing(MEP) coordination process using building information modeling(BIM). The proposed process can help project participants eliminate identified clashes between the MEP elements, analyze trends relating to MEP costs during the coordination process, and share their findings. MEP quantity-related information extracted through BIM was integrated with the cost database and schedule information. To check the applicability of the proposed process, it was applied to a construction project in South Korea. Through the application of the proposed process, MEP-related cost was reduced.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting extra expenses incurred by extracurricular activities, prompted by the problem that the financial burden on households for their children's education and child-care is not showing enough signs of being mitigated, despite increased child-care subsidies from the government. Data for this study was obtained from the 4th Panel Study on Korean Children of Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. The analysis of the study shows that 68.5% of the surveyed children were participating in extracurricular activities and the average number of extracurricular activities they took part in was 2.9. The average extracurricular expenditure was 50.000 won. However, based on the findings of the survey, it was statistically significant to find that the number of extracurricular activities the children participated in and the expenditure the households spent on them varied by area. Variables were inserted in a gradual manner in identifying factors influencing households' expenditure on children's extracurricular activities. The results showed that amongst the variables used, the education level of the mother, the employment status of the mother, the type of the child-care support institution, and the household's place of residence featured prominently, with the place-of-residence factor accounting for most of the reason why a household spent the amount it did. The outcome of the study bears four policy implications: First, there is a need for a specific evaluation of the contents and costs of extracurricular activities and supervision and management of such activities. Second, it is necessary for the central government to provide a specific criteria of necessary expense. Third, throughout the child support agency, the courses and costs of special activities should be monitored regularly. Fourth, there should be extracurricular activity support for underprivileged children.

This paper examines the impact of ESG activities of domestic shipping companies on the cost of debt. It is known that companies with large information asymmetry tend to have high costs of debt. Corporate ESG activities have been identified as an effective means of reducing information asymmetry. By actively engaging in ESG activities, companies can lower the cost of debt by reducing information asymmetry. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether these mechanisms, which have been observed in previous studies, also apply to domestic shipping companies. Multiple regression analysis is conducted on KOSP I-listed shipping companies from2010 to 2022. The cost of debt is set as the dependent variable, while the ESG rating is used as the explanatory variable. The analysis reveals that companies with a high level of ESG activities generally have a lower cost of debt. However, it is important to note that ESG activities of shipping companies do not seem to have a significant impact on their cost of debt. In fact, the level of ESG activities among domestic shipping companies is not particularly high (Hong, 2024). Despite these findings, domestic shipping companies should still strive for sustainable management to adapt to the rapidly changing business environment and meet the demands of the modern era. ESG management is a representative method for achieving sustainability. Therefore, shipping companies should not only focus on reducing the cost of debt but also on opening up the closed industry culture and communicating with capital market participants for sustainable growth. It is crucial for these companies to listen to the voices of stakeholders and embrace a holistic approach to sustainability.

Recently, operation of highway is the complex digital Infrastructure based on complicated IT. The application of IT is increasing more and more in digital Infrastructure. Though IT is very convenient, if unpredicted operating risk of highway occurs, widespread damage can be large. When operating risk of highway occurs, road users are out of smoothly-run service because of the operating interruption. This risk causes unpredicted operating management cost and additional maintenance cost. It will excess over the planned operating cost, which may leads to users's unsafety and operator's insolvency because of income loss. Until now, related studies to find out the risk are not sufficient. The purpose of this study is to suggest risk cost items and to estimate the reasonable risk cost by using simulation method in case of occurring the huge power failure at the operating digitalized highway. This study indicates the several plans to hedge against risk cost and the management of highway project. From now on, it will be used as basic data to confirm the soundness of operating system in Digital Infrastructure.

Construction industry has particular properties of non-continuity of production, and non-stability of market comparing to other industries. Because of them, the practical construction cost is more difficultly recognized than in manufacturing industry, so, that is various according to many projects. Therefore, it is very hard work to standardize construction cost, and it is worthy of analyzing and measuring exactly construction cost. On this study, the trouble in producing expected construction cost with original cost calculation method is progressed by the data of cost items in complete works. On the basis of analyzing data, as expected cost of practical construction is measured, it can be referred to the method and the standard of indirect labor cost rate in construction.

Building costs means capital costs which include cost of land, costs of acquiring and preparing the site, construction costs, professional fees, furnishings, cost of financing the project. and cost of management required to run and maintenance the building for use. There are several phases that determine the building costs : design phase, construction phase, and operation & maintenance phase. So, the cost of work could be set against the examining the full range of complexities that a building program might contain. To solve this problem, it needs to compute building cost systematically. This is still in the development stage, awaiting the organization of rational cost data base. The method of cost saving by cost control could be constituted by detailed knowledge of building costs for all possible combinations of components and subsystems that can be assembled into integration model of cost factor on each phase of project development. The model of cost saving in each building phase is available for procedures of cost control of building systems.

This paper presents a new method for the evaluation of avoided generation costs. Unlike conventional load decrement method, it exactly considers forced outage rate and economic loading order of IPPs (Independent Power Producers). Therefore we can provide exact generation avoided costs of IPPs by the developed method. Because probabilistic simulation is conducted in this method, effects on the costs of IPPs are exactly considered. Also we suggest an allocation method of avoided generation costs by participation factor. In the case studies we have shown avoided generation costs considering loading order and forced out-age rate by using this method.
