This paper presents a branch prediction algorithm and a 4-way set-associative cache for performance improvement of embedded RISC core and a clock-gating algorithm using ODC (Observability Don't Care) operation to improve the power consumption of the core. The branch prediction algorithm has a structure using BTB(Branch Target Buffer) and 4-way set associative cache has lower miss rate than direct-mapped cache. Pseudo-LRU Policy, which is one of the Line Replacement Policies, is used for decreasing the number of bits that store LRU value. The clock gating algorithm reduces dynamic power consumption. As a result of estimation of performance and dynamic power, the performance of the OpenRISC core applied the proposed architecture is improved about 29% and dynamic power of the core using Chartered $0.18{\mu}m$ technology library is reduced by 16%.

This paper presents a branch prediction algorithm and a 4-way set-associative cache for performance improvement of OpenRISC processor and a clock gating algorithm using ODC (Observability Don't Care) operation for a low-power processor. The branch prediction algorithm has a structure using BTB(Branch Target Buffer) and 4-way set associative cache has lower miss rate than direct-mapped cache. The clock gating algorithm reduces dynamic power consumption. As a result of estimation of performance and dynamic power, the performance of the OpenRISC processor using the proposed algorithm is improved about 8.9% and dynamic power of the processor using samsung $0.18{\mu}m$ technology library is reduced by 13.9%.

This paper presents a branch prediction algorithm and a 4-way set-associative cache for performance improvement of an embedded RISC core and a clock-gating algorithm with observability don’t care (ODC) operation to reduce the power consumption of the core. The branch prediction algorithm has a structure using a branch target buffer (BTB) and 4-way set associative cache that has a lower miss rate than a direct-mapped cache. Pseudo-least recently used (LRU) policy is used for reducing the number of LRU bits. The clock-gating algorithm reduces dynamic power consumption. As a result of estimation of the performance and the dynamic power, the performance of the OpenRISC core applied to the proposed architecture is improved about 29% and the dynamic power of the core with the Chartered 0.18 ${\mu}m$ technology library is reduced by 16%.

In recent years, tissue antigens and enzymes that will serve as phenotypic markers for malignant cells are becoming increasingly important as diagnostic aids. This study was undertaken to investigate the specific activities of these enzymes in DMBA-induced rat submaxillary gland carcinogenesis. One hundred and twenty Sprague-Dawley rats about 100 gms of body weight were used. In experimental group, DMBA pellet (5mg) was implanted into right submaxillary gland and sham operation was performed into left gland to serve as control. The animals were sacrificed every three weeks up to 15 weeks. Submaxillary glands were excised on both sides and enzyme assays for ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptidase (GGT), 5'-Nucleotidase, Ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) and Acetyl-Co A carboxylase were carried out biochemically. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. In control group, there was no significant weight change of submaxillary gland, while experimental group, weight was increased remarkably about 7-fold at 15th week since DMBA implantation. 2. In control group, there was no change in specific activities of enzymes during the experimental period. 3. GGT activity was rapidly increased reaching a peak of 1.766${\pm}$0.082units/mg of DNA, 8-fold greater than that of onset. 4. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was increased reaching a peak of $362.1{\pm}53.2{\mu}moles/mg$ of DNA at 9th week. 5. ODC activity was rapidly increased, reaching a peak of 26.2${\pm}$4.8nmoles/mg of DNA at 9th week and quickly returned to that of control at 15th week. 6. Acetyl-Co A carboxylase activity was rapidly increased earlier than other enzymes, reaching a peak of 0.178${\pm}$0.013units/mg of DNA at 6th week and quickly declined to the control level at 15th week.

To be able to show moving images without visual problems like blurring and tailing, the response time of liquid crystal display (LCDs) must be improved. In this paper we will discuss our progress in improving the response time by optimizing the cell configuration and the use of new liquid crystal mixtures. A 20.1inch diagonal UXGA IPS TFT-LCD has been developed having a response time as fast as l-frame time (16msec) for white-black operation and less than 16msec in all gray levels without applying ODC (Over Driving Circuit). This is very important because one of the technology to reduce motion blurring, the use of scanning backlight is conditioned by 16msec for all grays. The excellent gray-to-gray response can be explained by virtue of fundamental characteristics of S-IPS mode and makes a good contrast with the results of VA mode.

For the fast growing Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) TV market, it is essential to make the LCD panels to show moving images without any visual difficulties such as blurring or tailing. Owing to reduction of the cell gap and the improved Liquid Crystal (LC) mixtures with low viscosity, it is possible that our S-IPS TFT-LCDs feature a response time (R/T) as fast as 1-frame time (16ms) for a white-black operation and less than a 16rns in all gray levels without Over Driving Circuit (ODC) technology. Currently, mass production of the large size IPS panels with high speed has been successfully achieved. In order to achieve faster response time, new LC mixtures have been developed, optimizing the physical properties of rotational viscosity (${\gamma}$1) and elastic constants (Kii). Also, the LC mixtures with high elastic constant allow us to increase the cell gap. In this paper, realization of fast switching time in IPS mode with optimized '${\gamma}$1/Kii' parameter in the LC mixtures forms the core of this paper.
