데스크탑 그리드는 컴퓨팅 집약적인 분산 어플리케이션을 수행하는데 있어서 유망한 플랫폼으로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 비 신뢰적이고 예측할 수 없는 자원의 특성 때문에 데스크탑 그리드에서 병렬 어플리케이션의 효율적인 스케줄링은 어려운 문제로 알려져 있다. 이에 따라서 빈약한 스케줄링 능력과 함께 현재 데스크탑 그리드는 고 처리 어플리케이션(high throughput application)의 실행에는 적합하지만 빠른 반환 시간을 요구하는 어플리케이션의 실행을 지원하는데 있어서 어려움을 갖는다. 빠른 반환 시간을 요구하는 어플리케이션의 효율적인 실행은 어플리케이션의 전체 실행 시간(makespan)을 축소함으로써 해결할 수 있는 문제로써 데스크탑 그리드가 이를 지원할 수 있게 하는 것은 매력적인 제안이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 데스크탑 그리드에서 효율적인 어플리케이션의 실행을 지원하기 위한 새로운 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다. 7주간의 시간동안 40대의 데스크탑에서 추출된 추적(trace) 데이타의 분석을 통해서 데스크탑 사용 경향성과 비 신뢰적인 데스크탑의 영향이 스케줄링의 성능을 개선하는데 있어서 활용 될 수 있음을 확인하였고 이 요소들을 고려함으로써 데스크탑 그리드의 비 신뢰적이고 예측할 수 없는 자원의 특성을 스케줄링에 적절하게 반영 할 수 있는 스케줄링 기법이 제안되었다. 제안된 스케줄링 기법은 실제 데스크탑들의 행동 패턴을 반영한 추적 기반 시뮬레이션(trace-driven simulation)을 통해서 기존의 스케줄링 방법들과 스케줄링 성능이 비교되었고 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 제안된 스케줄링 기법이 기존의 데스크탑 스케줄링 기법들에 비해서 병렬 어플리케이션의 전체 실행 시간을 축소하고 중지(suspension)와 장애(failure)의 발생 빈도를 줄이는 것을 보여준다.

The numerical simulation is performed for the acoustic emission and the wave propagation due to fiber breakage in single fiber composite plates by the finite element transient analysis. The acoustic emission and the following wave motions from a fiber breakage under a static loading is simulated to investigate the applicability of the explicit finite element method and the equivalent volume force model as a simulation tool of wave propagation and a modeling technique of an acoustic emission. For such a simple case of the damage event under static loading, various parameters affecting the wave motion are investigated for reliable simulations of the impact damage event. The high velocity and the small wave length of the acoustic emission require a refined analysis with dense distribution of the finite element and a small time step. In order to fulfill the requirement for capturing the exact wave propagation and to cover the 3-D simulation, we utilize the parallel FE transient analysis code and the parallel computing technology.

It is well known that a crack has an important effect on the dynamic behavior of a structure. This effect depends mainly on the location and depth of the crack. To identify the location and depth of a crack in a structure, a classical optimization technique was adopted by previous researchers. That technique overcame the difficulty of finding the intersection point of the superposed contours that correspond to the eigenfrequency caused by the crack presence. However, it is hard to select a trial solution initially for optimization because the defined objective function is heavily multimodal. A method is presented in this paper, which uses continuous evolutionary algorithms(CEAs). CEAs are effective for solving inverse problems and implemented on PC clusters to shorten calculation time. With finite element model of the structure to calculate eigenfrequencies, it is possible to formulate the inverse problem in optimization format. CEAs are used to identify the crack location and depth minimizing the difference from the measured frequencies. We have tried this new idea on a simple beam structure and the results are promising with high parallel efficiency over about 94%.

최근 그래픽 처리 장치(GPU)의 발전과 개발자 친화적인 GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units)기술의 발전으로 인해 그래픽 처리 장치를 활용한 병렬 컴퓨팅의 사용이 확대되고 있다. 이를 통해 과학, 의학, 공학 등 많은 분야에 걸쳐 기존 CPU 컴퓨팅 환경보다 더 빠른 처리속도로 결과 값을 얻어 낼 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문은 CPU 기반 컴퓨팅과 GPU 기반 컴퓨팅의 연산처리 속도의 차이의 비교를 위해 기존 CPU 기반으로 구현된 영상 품질 측정 프로그램을 NVIDIA사의 GPGPU기술을 사용할 수 있도록 프로그램을 포팅한다. 포팅한 프로그램을 바탕으로 GPGPU기술을 통한 프로그램의 가속화에 대하여 연구한다. 가속화된 프로그램은 CPU 기반의 프로그램보다 약 1.83배 정도의 실행 속도를 가진다. 또한 CPU 기반의 프로그램을 GPU 기반으로 수정할 때 생기는 제약과 문제점에 대해서도 기술한다.

High resolution reconstruction technology is developed to help enhance the spatial resolution of observational images for ground-based solar telescopes, such as speckle masking. Near real-time reconstruction performance is achieved on a high performance cluster using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). However, much time is spent in reconstructing solar subimages in such a speckle reconstruction. We design and implement a novel parallel method for speckle masking reconstruction of solar subimage on a shared memory machine using the OpenMP. Real tests are performed to verify the correctness of our codes. We present the details of several parallel reconstruction steps. The parallel implementation between various modules shows a great speed increase as compared to single thread serial implementation, and a speedup of about 2.5 is achieved in one subimage reconstruction. The timing result for reconstructing one subimage with 256×256 pixels shows a clear advantage with greater number of threads. This novel parallel method can be valuable in real-time reconstruction of solar images, especially after porting to a high performance cluster.

The Genetic Algorithm (GA), an optimization technique based on the theory of natural selection, has proven to be a relatively robust means of searching for global optimum. It converges to the global optimum point without auxiliary information such as differentiation of function. In the case of a complex problem, the GA involves a large population number and requires a lot of computing time. To improve the process, this research used parallel processing with several personal computers. Parallel process technique is classified into two methods according to subpopulation's size and number. One is the fine-grained method (FGM), and the other is the coarse-grained method (CGM). This study selected the CGM as a parallel process technique because the load is equally divided among several computers. The given design domain should be reduced according to the degree of feasibility, because mechanical system problems have constraints. The reduced domain is used as an initial design domain. It is consistent with the feasible domain and the infeasible domain around feasible domain boundary. This parallel process used the Message Passing Interface library.

The IPSAP which is a finite element analysis program has been developed for high parallel performance computing. This program consists of various analysis modules - stress, vibration and thermal analysis module, etc. The M orthogonal block Lanczos algorithm with shiftinvert transformation is used for solving eigenvalue problems in the vibration module. And the multifrontal algorithm which is one of the most efficient direct linear equation solvers is applied to factorization and triangular system solving phases in this block Lanczos iteration routine. In this study, the performance enhancement procedures of the IPSAP are composed of the following stages: 1) communication volume minimization of the factorization phase by modifying parallel matrix subroutines. 2) idling time minimization in triangular system solving phase by partial inverse of the frontal matrix and the LCM (least common multiple) concept.

Parallel finite element code has been recently developed for the analysis of the incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations using domain decomposition method. Metis and MPI libraries are used for the domain partitioning of an unstructured mesh and the data communication between sub-domains, respectively. For unsteady computation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, 4-step splitting method is combined with P1P1 finite element formulation. Smagorinsky and dynamic model are implemented for the simulation of turbulent flows. For the validation performance-estimation of the developed parallel code, three-dimensional Laplace equation has been solved. It has been found that the speed-up of 40 has been obtained from the present parallel code fir the bench mark problem. Lastly, the turbulent flows around the MIRA model and Tiburon model have been solved using 32 processors on IBM SMP cluster and unstructured mesh. The computed drag coefficient agrees better with the existing experiment as the mesh resolution of the region increases, where the variation of pressure is severe.

The present paper deals with the efficient computation of higher-order CFD methods for compressible flow using graphics processing units (GPU). The higher-order CFD methods, such as discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods and correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) methods, can realize arbitrary higher-order accuracy with compact stencil on unstructured mesh. However, they require much more computational costs compared to the widely used finite volume methods (FVM). Graphics processing unit, consisting of hundreds or thousands small cores, is apt to massive parallel computations of compressible flow based on the higher-order CFD methods and can reduce computational time greatly. Higher-order multi-dimensional limiting process (MLP) is applied for the robust control of numerical oscillations around shock discontinuity and implemented efficiently on GPU. The program is written and optimized in CUDA library offered from NVIDIA. The whole algorithms are implemented to guarantee accurate and efficient computations for parallel programming on shared-memory model of GPU. The extensive numerical experiments validates that the GPU successfully accelerates computing compressible flow using higher-order method.
