In this paper, we propose a parallel intra-operation unit and a memory architecture for improving the performance of intra-prediction, which utilizes spatial correlation in an image to predict the blocks and contains 17 prediction modes in total. The design is targeted for portable devices applying H.264/AVC decoders. For boosting the performance of the proposed design, we adopt a parallel intra-operation unit that can achieve the prediction of 16 neighboring pixels at the same time. In the best case, it can achieve the computation of one luma $16{\times}16$ block within 16 cycles. For one luma $4{\times}4$ block, a mere one cycle is needed to finish the process of computation. Compared with the previous designs, the average cycle reduction rate is 78.01%, and the gate count is slightly reduced. The design is synthesized with the MagnaChip $0.18{mu}m$ library and can run at 125 MHz.

가중치전략(weighting strategy)은 인공지능의 한 분야인 자동화추론(automated resaonnimg) 분야에서, 허용 가능한 시간과 기억공간내에서 해를 구하기 위해서 필수적으로 사용되는 방법이다. 그러나 가중치전략의 적용은 문제에 대한 사용자의 지식이나 경험에 주로 의존할 뿐 아니라, 각각의 단계에서 프로그램화되지 못하여 수작업으로인한 시간의 소모가 많다. 수작업을 필요로 하던 기존의 시스템을 자동화하여, 관계계층구조(thesaurus)를 시스템이 자동으로 구축하는 도구를 개발하고, 이를 기존의 자동정리증명기에 통합하여, 그 성능을 개선하는 시스템을 제안한다.

This work presents a low-power CMOS image sensor (CIS) with a multi-column-parallel (MCP) readout structure while focusing on improving its performance compared to previous works. A delta readout scheme that utilizes the image characteristics is optimized for the MCP readout structure. By simply alternating the MCP readout direction for each row selection, additional memory for the row-to-row delta readout is not required, resulting in a reduced area of occupation compared to the previous work. In addition, the bias current of a pre-amplifier in a successive approximate register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) changes according to the operating period to improve the power efficiency. The prototype CIS chip was fabricated using a 0.18-㎛ CMOS process. A 160 × 120 pixel array with 4.4 ㎛ pitch was implemented with a 10-bit SAR ADC. The prototype CIS demonstrated a frame rate of 120 fps with a total power consumption of 1.92 mW.

Recently, as businesses and data types become more complex and diverse, efficient data analysis using machine learning is required. However, since communication in the cloud environment is greatly affected by network latency, data analysis is not smooth if information delay occurs. In this paper, SPT (Safe Proper Time) was applied to the cluster-based machine learning data analysis agent proposed in previous studies to solve this delay problem. SPT is a method of remotely and directly accessing memory to a cluster that processes data between layers, effectively improving data transfer speed and ensuring timeliness and reliability of data transfer.

To address the problems of the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) in which the population is prone to converge prematurely and fall into the local solution when solving the single-objective optimization problem, a sine map jumping gravity search algorithm based on asynchronous learning is proposed. First, a learning mechanism is introduced into the GSA. The agents keep learning from the excellent agents of the population while they are evolving, thus maintaining the memory and sharing of evolution information, addressing the algorithm's shortcoming in evolution that particle information depends on the current position information only, improving the diversity of the population, and avoiding premature convergence. Second, the sine function is used to map the change of the particle velocity into the position probability to improve the convergence accuracy. Third, the Levy flight strategy is introduced to prevent particles from falling into the local optimization. Finally, the proposed algorithm and other intelligent algorithms are simulated on 18 benchmark functions. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieved improved the better performance.

최근 빅데이터를 처리하기 위한 고용량의 저장장치의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 낸드 플래시 메모리 기반 저장장치인 SSD(Solid State Drive)는 고속 데이터 처리가 가능하기 때문에 다양한 저장 시스템에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 낸드 플래시 메모리는 읽기 속도가 빠르고 쓰기 속도가 느린 비대칭 구조를 가지고 있어 데이터 쓰기 작업이 진행 중일 때 다른 작업이 대기하게 되어 전체적인 시스템 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 대해 대부분의 연구에서는 쓰기 성능을 개선하기 위한 버퍼 관리 정책들이 제안되었다. 기술의 발전으로 쓰기 성능은 개선되었지만, 그에 비해 읽기 성능이 저조한 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 읽기 성능이 쓰기 성능보다 취약한 점을 분석하고 플래시 메모리 내에 저장장치 속도를 개선하기 위해 앞으로 읽기 요청 가능성이 있는 예상 데이터를 선형회귀 모델을 적용하여 전송 대기 시간 중 미리 읽는 정책을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between writing self-efficacy and academic achievement in a project-based university writing class, and the mediating effect of reflective journal writing. A total of 135 college students participated in the study. The results showed that students with higher writing self-efficacy had higher academic achievement and wrote more reflective journaling. Reflective journaling was found to have a positive impact on reviewing learned content, improving metacognition and memory, and promoting idea development. Overall, consistent reflective journal writing not only enhanced writing self-efficacy but also positively influenced academic performance.

As the demand for high-performance semiconductors, such as chips for artificial intelligence and high-bandwidth memory devices, increases along with the limitations of ultrafine processing technology in the semiconductor in-line process, advanced packaging becomes an increasingly important breakthrough technology for further improving semiconductor performance. Major countries, including Korea, the United States, Taiwan, and China, and large companies are strengthening their technological industry capabilities through the development of advanced packaging technology and policy support. Nevertheless, Korea has a lower level of development of related technologies by approximately 66% compared with the most advanced countries. Therefore, we aim to discover the needs for an advanced packaging research and development (R&D) policy through written expert interviews and importance satisfaction analysis. As a result, various implications for R&D policy directions are suggested to strengthen the technological capabilities and R&D ecosystem of the Korean advanced packaging technology.

With an explosive increase of data produced annually, researchers have been attempting to develop solutions for systems that can effectively handle large amounts of data. Single-operating-system (OS) non-uniform memory access (NUMA) abstraction technology is an important technology that ensures the compatibility of single-node programming interfaces across multiple nodes owing to its higher cost efficiency compared with scale-up systems. However, existing technologies have not been successful in optimizing user performance. In this paper, we introduce a single-OS NUMA abstraction technology that ensures full compatibility with the existing OS while improving the performance at both hypervisor and guest levels. Benchmark results show that the proposed technique can improve performance by up to 4.74× on average in terms of execution time compared with the existing state-of-the-art opensource technology.
