Neural network based AI computing is a promising technology that reflects the recognition and decision operation of human beings. Early AI computing processors were composed of GPUs and CPUs; however, the dramatic increment of a floating point operation requires an energy efficient AI processor with a highly parallelized architecture. In this paper, we analyze the trends in processor architectures for AI computing. Some architectures are still composed using GPUs. However, they reduce the size of each processing unit by allowing a half precision operation, and raise the processing unit density. Other architectures concentrate on matrix multiplication, and require the construction of dedicated hardware for a fast vector operation. Finally, we propose our own inAB processor architecture and introduce domestic cutting-edge processor design capabilities.

In this paper, a design of processor IP for TCP/IP protocol stack is described. The processor consists of input and output buffer memory with dual bank structure, 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, DMA unit with on-the-fly checksum capability. To handle the various modes of TCP/IP protocol, hardware and software co-design approach is used rather than the conventional state machine based design. To eliminate delay time due to the data transfer and checksum operation, DAM module which can execute the checksum operation on-the-fly along with data transfer operation is adopted. By programming the on-chip code ROM of RISC processor differently. the designed stack processor can support the packet format conversion operations required in the various TCP/IP protocols.

DNA computing based DNA sequence Is operated through the biology experiment. Biology experiment used as operator causes illegal reactions through shifted hybridization, mismatched hybridization, undesired hybridization of the DNA sequence. So, it is essential to design DNA sequence to minimize the potential errors. This paper proposes method of the DNA sequence generation based evolutionary operation processor. Genetic algorithm was used for evolutionary operation and extra hardware, namely genetic algorithm processor was implemented for solving repeated evolutionary process that causes much computation time. To show efficiency of the Proposed processor, excellent result is confirmed by comparing between fitness of the DNA sequence formed randomly and DNA sequence formed by genetic algorithm processor. Proposed genetic algorithm processor can reduce the time and expense for preparing DNA sequence that is essential in DNA computing. Also it can apply design of the oligomer for development of the DNA chip or oligo chip.

According to the development of computer technology, especially in 3D graphics and visualization, the interest for 3D GIS has been increasing. Several commercial GIS softwares are ready to provide 3D function in their traditional 2D GIS. However, most of these systems are focused on visualization of 3D objects and supports few analysis functions. Therefore in this paper, we design not only a spatial operation processor which can support spatial analysis functions as well as 3D visualization, but also implement a prototype to operate them. In order to support interoperability between the existing models, the proposed spatial operation processor supports the 3D spatial operations based on 3D geometry object model which is designed to extend 2D geometry model of OGIS consortium, and supports index based on R$^*$-Tree. The proposed spatial operation processor can be applied in 3D GIS to support 3D analysis functions.

An H.264 algorithm is commonly used for video compression applications. This algorithm requires a large number of data computations, for example, the sum of absolute difference (SAD) operation. We analyzed H.264 reference encoding workloads. The H.264 encoding program has 8.78% SAD operation. The SAD operation is to sum up 16 difference-values in H.264 $4{\times}4$ sub-blocks. In order to accelerate SAD operations, we implemented an application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) that can execute SAD and data transfer instructions. The proposed coprocessor has an absolute value generator and a carry save adder (CSA) unit to sum up 8 difference-values per one clock cycle. We completed SAD operation in 2 clock cycles. Experimental results show that the performance is improved by 34% of total execution time.

본 연구에서는 HDL을 이용하여 16-비트의 파이프라인 프로세서를 함수적 레벨에서 기술하여 구현하고, 그 프로세서의 동작을 확인하였다. 구현된 파이프라인 프로세서를 시뮬레이션할 때 그 프로세서 내에서 실행되는 테스트 벡터를 기호로 표시된 명령어로 먼저 설정하여 규정하고, 구현된 명령어 세트를 프로그래밍하여 입력하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 테스트 벡터를 이용한 시뮬에이션 방법은 프로세서의 동작을 쉽게 확인할 수 있었으며, 정확한 시뮬레이션을 할 수 있었고. HDL을 이용함으로써 구현시 프로세서의 동작을 문서화하는 것이 간편하였다.

In this paper, we will present an array processor for implementation of digital neural networks. Back-propagation model can be formulated as a consecutive matrix-vector multiplication problem with some prespecified thresholding operation. This operation procedure is suited for the design of an array processor, because it can be recursively and repeatedly executed. Systolic array circuit architecture with Residue Number System is suggested to realize the efficient arithmetic circuit for matrix-vector multiplication and compute sigmoid function. The proposed design method would expect to adopt for the application field of neural networks, because it can be realized to currently developed VLSI technology.
