Modern mobile devices are equipped with various accelerated processing units to handle computationally intensive applications; therefore, Open Computing Language (OpenCL) has been proposed to fully take advantage of the computational power in heterogeneous systems. This article introduces a parallel software decoder of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes on an embedded heterogeneous platform using an OpenCL framework. The LDPC code is one of the most popular and strongest error correcting codes for mobile communication systems. Each step of LDPC decoding has different parallelization characteristics. In the proposed LDPC decoder, steps suitable for task-level parallelization are executed on the multi-core central processing unit (CPU), and steps suitable for data-level parallelization are processed by the graphics processing unit (GPU). To improve the performance of OpenCL kernels for LDPC decoding operations, explicit thread scheduling, vectorization, and effective data transfer techniques are applied. The proposed LDPC decoder achieves high performance and high power efficiency by using heterogeneous multi-core processors on a unified computing framework.

다수 사용자를 지원하는 프로그램에서 쓰레드의 중요성이 증가함에 따라 데이터베이스 관리 시스템의 하부구조인 객체 저장 시스템들도 쓰레드를 이용하도록 확장되고 있다. 기존의 프로세스/쓰레드 모델는 멀티프로세스/단일쓰레드 모델, 단일프로세스/멀티쓰레드 모델, 그리고 멀티프로세스/멀티쓰레드 모델로 분류할 수 있다. 이 중 멀티프로세스/멀티쓰레드 모델은 다른 모델들을 포괄할 수 있는 일반적인 형태의 구조이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티프로세스/단일쓰레드 모델로 개발된 객체 저장 시스템 COSMOS를 멀티프로세스/멀티쓰레드 모델로 확장한 COSMOS/MT를 설계하고 구현한다. 먼저 COSMOS의 트랜잭션 컨텍스트를 분석하여 공유 트랜잭션 컨텍스트와 비공유 트랜잭션 컨텍스트로 분류 후, 각 트랜잭션 컨텍스트의 유지방법을 제안한다. 그리고, 구현한 모델의 유용성을 보이기 위하여 TPC-A 벤치마크에 대해 성능 평가를 수행한다. 실험결과 1000개의 클라이언트를 서비스하는 경우 COSMOS/MT가 COSMOS에 비하여 처리율이 최고 5배까지 향상됨을 보인다. 마지막으로, 멀티프로세스/멀티쓰레드 모델의 성능을 결정하는 중요 요소인 프로세스 당 쓰레드 개수에 따른 성능 변화에 대하여 고찰하고, 실험을 통하여 프로세스당 쓰레드 개수에 따른 시스템의 성능 변화를 보인다.화를 보인다.

Nowadays, GIS, as multi-discipline information system, is closely linked with GPS application in conjunction with GIS-T or Logistics GIS. With this R&D trend. CPS/GIS application system for AVL is newly developed in this study. This AVL is designed and implemented by using pure Java computing technology towards com ing Car-equipped wireless Internet PC age, and main features of Java are included at this system: Platform independence, Multi-thread processing, and Object-oriented paradigm. While, because core modules of this AVL are based on GIS spatial engine, unlike other commercial AVLs, large spatial database problem handling digital image/spatial information and attribute information and direct access problem of GIS data is easily dealt with. this system can directly access external database by using JDBC: MS Access for desktop version and Oracle for W/S version. Finally, it is thought that Java-based AVL, one of CPS/CIS applications, can be easily extended into other prospective GIS applications: Land surveyor supporting system, Flight tracking system, 3D facility management system with CPS, and so forth.

TMN Agent Platform은 망 요소의 운영상태와 자원들을 GDMO에 따라 관리객체(Managed Object : MO)로 모델링 하고, 자원들의 현재 상태를 유지하며, 관리자(Manager)로부터의 망 관리 기능 요구에 따라 조작된다. 그러므로, 에이전트의 성능향상은 전체적인 통신망 관리의 성능향상에 직접적인 영향을 미친다.본 논문에서는 TMN 에이전트의 기능요구 사항을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 성능향상을 위해 멀티스레드 기법을 사용하는 병렬 처리 구조의 TMN Agent Platform의 기능구조를 제시한다. 또한 에이전트와 다양한 자원들간의 효율적인 메시지전달을 위한 체계를 제시하며, 구현된 TMN Agent Platform의 성능을 분석한다.Abstract TMN Agent manages the operational status and real-resources of network elements, such as switching nodes and transmission systems. It performs the requested management functions from manager and maintains consistent status data of real-resource. The performance of agent system affects directly the performance of network management operation. If the agent is implemented by sequential processing scheme with single process, the agent processing can be delayed or blocked according to the status of real-resources. This problem can be solved by parallel and distributed processing scheme.To improve the processing performance of TMN Agent, we propose a TMN Agent Platform's functional architecture that is based on parallel processing with multi-tread and effective message transferring scheme between agent and various real-resource. We analyze the performance of the implemented TMN Agent Platform.

A depth map can be obtained by projecting/capturing patterns of stripes using a projector-camera system and analyzing the geometric relationship between the projected patterns and the captured patterns. This is usually called structured light technique. In this paper, we propose a new multi-threading scheme for accelerating a conventional structured light technique. On CPUs and GPUs, multi-threading can be implemented by using OpenMP and CUDA, respectively. However, the problem is that their performance changes according to the computational conditions of partial processes of a structured light technique. In other words, OpenMP (using multiple CPUs) outperformed CUDA (using multiple GPUs) in partial processes such as pattern decoding and depth estimation. In contrast, CUDA outperformed OpenMP in partial processes such as rectification and pattern segmentation. Therefore, we carefully analyze the computational conditions where each outperforms the other and do use the better one in the related conditions. As a result, the proposed method can estimate a depth map in a speed of over 25 fps on $1280{\times}800$ images.

As more transistors are integrated onto bigger die, an on-chip multiprocessor will become a promising alternative to the superscalar microprocessor that dominates today's microprocessor marketplace. This paper describes key parts of a new on-chip multiprocessor, called Raptor, which is composed of four 2-way superscalar processor cores and one graphic co-processor. To obtain performance characteristics of Raptor, a program-driven simulator and its programming environment were developed. The simulation results showed that Raptor can exploit thread level parallelism effectively and offer a promising architecture for future on-chip multi-processor designs.

Vehicle driving simulators can provide engineers with benefits on the development and modification of vehicle models. One of the most important factors to realistic simulations is the fidelity given by a motion system and a real-time visual image generation system. Virtual reality technology has been widely used to achieve high fidelity. In this paper the virtual environment including a visual system like a head-mounted display is developed for a vehicle driving simulator system by employing the virtual reality technique. virtual vehicle and environment models are constructed using the object-oriented analysis and design approach. Accordint to the object model a three dimensional graphic model is developed with CAD tools such as Rhino and Pro/E. For the real-time image generation the optimized IRIS Performer 3D graphics library is embedded with the multi-thread methodology. Compared with the single loop apprach the proposed methodology yields an acceptable image generation speed 20 frames/sec for the simulator.

This paper proposes an on-line voltage management and control solution for a distribution system which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of existing off-line work by collecting customer voltage on-line as well as the voltage compensation capability of the existing ULTC (Under Load Tap Changer) operation and control strategy by controlling the ULTC tap based on pattern clustering and recognition. The proposed solution consists of an ADVMD (Advanced Digital Voltage Management Device), a VMS (Voltage Management Solution) and an OLDUC (On-Line Digital ULTC Controller). An on-line voltage management emulator based on multi-thread programming and the shared memory method is developed to emulate on-line voltage management and digital ULTC control methodology based on the on-line collection of the customer's voltage. In addition, using this emulator, the effectiveness of the proposed pattern clustering and recognition based ULTC control strategy is proven for the worst voltage environments for three days.
