In this paper, a parallel algorithm of nonlinear dynamic analysis of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures based on the platform of graphics processing unit (GPU) is proposed. Time integration is performed using Newmark method for nonlinear implicit dynamic analysis and parallelization strategies are presented. Correspondingly, a parallel Preconditioned Conjugate Gradients (PCG) solver on GPU is introduced for repeating solution of the equilibrium equations for each time step. The RC frames were simulated using fiber beam model to capture nonlinear behaviors of concrete and reinforcing bars. The parallel finite element program is developed utilizing Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). The accuracy of the GPU-based parallel program including single precision and double precision was verified in comparison with ABAQUS. The numerical results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can take full advantage of the parallel architecture of the GPU, and achieve the goal of speeding up the computation compared with CPU.

In this paper, a compact, light-weight, universal, spherical 3-degree-of-freedom, parallel-structured manual controller with high reflecting-force capability is implemented. First, the position analysis, kinematic modeling and analysis, force reflecting transformation, and applied force control schemes for a parallel structured 3 degree-of-freedom spherical system have been described. Then, a brief description of the system integration, its actual implementation hardware, and its preliminary analysis results are presented. The implemented parallel 3 degree-of-freedom spherical module is equipped with high gear-ratio reducers, and the friction due to the reducers is minimized by employing a force control algorithm, which results in a "power steering" effect for enhanced smoothness and transparency (for compactness and reduced weight).d weight).

In this paper, I tried to analyze the relationship between the market structure of teleommunicatin industry and market performance using Economides and Lehr's results considering composite goods methods. And I took three policy scenarios into account. First, government tires to implement the policy which divides the integrated monopoly into network operator and service provider, then invite competition to service part. Second, government tries to implement the policy which invite the competition to service part only. Third, government tries to implement the policy which invite the competition to integrated duopoly. I gained the best result in the third scenario. So we can conclude that Parallel vertical integration is the best market structure. I also specially checked the relationship between the market structure and service quality. I gained the best service quality in the third scenario. So we can conclude that Parallel Vertical Integration is also the best market structure with regard to the service quality.

The parallel multi-quantum well structures of blue and amber lights were designed and grown in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition by utilizing integration process on epitaxial layers. Samples were deposited for 5 periods-InGaN multi-quantum well layers for blue light emission and partially etched in order to regrow the 3 periods-InGaN multi-quantum wells for amber light. The blue and amber photoluminescence spectra were observed at the peak wavelengths of 475 and 580 nm, respectively. The chromatic coordinates of the white emitting diode were 0.31 and 0.34.

One of the issues in extending the range of applicable problems of real-time hybrid simulation is the computation speed of the simulator when large-scale computational models with a large number of DOF are used. In this study, functionality of real-time dynamic simulation of MDOF systems is achieved by creating a logic circuit that performs the step-by-step numerical time integration of the equations of motion of the system. The designed logic circuit can be implemented to an FPGA-based system; FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) allows large-scale parallel computing by implementing a number of arithmetic operators within the device. The operator splitting method is used as the numerical time integration scheme. The logic circuit consists of blocks of circuits that perform numerical arithmetic operations that appear in the integration scheme, including addition and multiplication of floating-point numbers, registers to store the intermediate data, and data busses connecting these elements to transmit various information including the floating-point numerical data among them. Case study on several types of linear and nonlinear MDOF system models shows that use of resource sharing in logic synthesis is crucial for effective application of FPGA to real-time dynamic simulation of structural response with time step interval of 1 ms.

A significant amount of research has focused on the development of highly parallel architectures to obtain far more computational power than conventional computer systems. These architectures usually comprise of a large number of processors communicating through an interconnection network. The VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) and WSI (Wafer Scale Integration) cellular arrays form one important class of those parallel architectures, and consist of a large number of simple processing cells, all on a single chip or wafer, each interconnected only to its neighbors. This paper studies three fundamental issues in these arrays : fault-tolerant reconfiguration. functional reconfiguration, and their integration. The paper examines conventional techniques, and gives an in-depth discussion about fault-tolerant reconfiguration and functional reconfiguration, presenting testing control strategy, configuration control strategy, steps required f4r each reconfiguration, and other relevant topics. The issue of integrating fault tolerant reconfiguration and functional reconfiguration has been addressed only recently. To tackle that problem, the paper identifies the relation between fault tolerant reconfiguration and functional reconfiguration, and discusses appropriate testing and configuration control strategy for integrated reconfiguration on VLSI and WSI cellular arrays.

Integration and miniaturization at the systems level are key requirements for photonics applications. Here, we describe the concept of planar integration of free-space optical systems and its use as an optical interconnection technology. Two specific applications will be considered, a parallel chip-to-chip interconnect and an optical clock distribution network.

An optical implementation of higher order neural networks based on based principal component analysis and time integration has been described. The principal component analysis combined with time integration allows larger input size than fully spatial neural networks at the cost certain amount of time consumption. This time-integration usage actually breaks down the barrier of the maximum space-bandwidth product that optical systems can offer.

Three-dimensional structures of unsteady detonation wave propagating through a square-shaped tube is studied using computational method and parallel processing. Inviscid fluid dynamics equations coupled with variable-${\gamma}$ formulation and simplified one-step Arrhenius chemical reaction model were analysed by a MUSCL-type TVD scheme and four stage Runge-Kutta time integration. Results in three dimension show the two unsteady detonation wave propagating mode, the Rectangular and diagonal mode of detonation wave instabilities. Two different modes of instability showed the same cell length but different cell width and the geometric similarities in smoked-foil record.
