This paper proposes a cooperative parallel tabu search which incorporates with the historical information exchange among processors in addition to its own searching of each processor. We investigate the influence of our proposed cooperative parallel tabu search by comparison with a serial tabu search. We also propose two extensions of the cooperative parallel tabu search which are the cooperative construction of tabu memory and the selection of cooperative partner. Through computational experiment, we observe the improvement of solutions by our proposed method.

The k-Winners-Take-All (kWTA) is an operation to find the largest k (>1) inputs among N inputs. Parallel search algorithm of kWTA for digital inputs is not invented yet, so most of digital kWTA architectures have O(N) time complexity. A parallel search algorithm for digital kWTA operation and the circuits for its VLSI implementation are presented in this paper. The proposed kWTA architecture can compare all inputs simultaneously in parallel. The time complexity of the new architecture is O(logN), so that it is scalable to a large number of digital data. The high-speed kWTA operation and its O(logN) dependency of the new architecture are verified by simulations. It takes 290 ns in searching for 5 winners among 1024 of 32 bit data, which is more than thousands of times faster than existing digital kWTA circuits, as well as existing analog kWTA circuits.

Generally, multidimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amounts of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel multidimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-nxmD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and 1P-nD. Its node structure in-creases fan-out and reduces the height of an index. Also, a range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to k-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

This paper presents a new byte-wise BCH (4122, 4096, 2) decoder, which treats byte-wise parallel operations so as to enhance its throughput. In particular, we evaluate the parallel processing technique for the most time-consuming components such as syndrome generator and Chien search owing to the iterative operations. Even though a syndrome generator is based on the conventional LFSR architecture, it allows eight consecutive bit inputs in parallel and it treats them in a cycle. Thus, it can reduce the number of cycles that are needed. In addition, a Chien search eliminates the redundant operations to reduce the hardware complexity. The proposed BCH decoder is implemented with VHDL and it is verified using a Xilinx FPGA. From the simulation results, the proposed BCH decoder can enhance the throughput as 43% and it can reduce the hardware complexity as 67% compared to its counterpart employing parallel processing architecture.

This paper presents the application of Parallel genetic algorithm and parallel tabu search to search an optimal solution of a unit commitment problem. The proposed method previously searches the solution globally using the parallel genetic algorithm, and then searches the solution locally using tabu search which has the good local search characteristic to reduce the computation time. This method combines the benefit of both method, and thus improves the performance. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we simulated for 10 units system. Numerical results show the improvements of cost and computation time compared to previous obtained results.

In this paper, we present a restricted tabu search(RTS) algorithm that schedules jobs on identical parallel machines in order to minimize the maximum lateness of jobs. Jobs have release times and due dates. Also, sequence-dependent setup times exist between jobs. The RTS algorithm consists of two main parts. The first part is the MATCS(Modified Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setups) rule that provides an efficient initial schedule for the RTS. The second part is a search heuristic that employs a restricted neighborhood generation scheme with the elimination of non-efficient job moves in finding the best neighborhood schedule. The search heuristic reduces the tabu search effort greatly while obtaining the final schedules of good quality. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better solutions quickly than the existing heuristic algorithms such as the RHP(Rolling Horizon Procedure) heuristic, the basic tabu search, and simulated annealing.

웹의 크기가 폭발적으로 증가함에 따라 인터넷에서 정보를 얻는 수단으로서 검색 엔진의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 검색 엔진은 사용자에게 최신의 정보를 검색 결과로서 제공하기 위해 웹 페이지를 주기적으로 수집하고 이를 데이타베이스에 저장한다. 웹 크롤러는 이러한 목적으로 웹 페이지를 수집하는 프로그램이다. 대부분의 검색 엔진은 제한된 시간 내에 많은 수의 웹 페이지를 수집하기 위해 다수의 머신을 사용하는 병렬 웹 크롤러를 이용한다. 그러나, 병렬 웹 크롤러의 아키텍처와 세부 구현 방법이 잘 알려져 있지 않기 때문에 실제로 병렬 웹 크롤러를 구현하는 데에 어려움이 많다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 웹 크롤러(parallel web crawler)의 아키텍처와 세부 구현 방법을 제시한다. 병렬 웹 크롤러는 다수의 머신에서 웹 페이지를 병렬적으로 수집하기 위해 조정자(coordinator) 대리자(agent) 구조의 2-티어(tier) 모델을 사용한다. 조정자/대리자 모델은 각 머신에서 웹 페이지를 수집하기 위한 다수의 대리자들과 이 대리자들을 관리하기 위한 하나의 조정자로 구성된다. 병렬 웹 크롤러는 웹 페이지를 수집하기 위한 크롤링(crawling) 모듈, 수집한 웹 페이지를 데이타베이스 로딩 포맷으로 변환하기 위한 컨버팅(converting) 모듈, 수집된 웹 페이지의 중요도를 계산하기 위한 랭킹(ranking) 모듈로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 웹 크롤러의 각 모듈들을 설명하고, 세부 구현 방법을 설명한다. 마지막으로, 실험을 통해 병렬 웹 크롤러의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 병렬, 웹 크롤러가 수집해야할 웹 페이지 개수와 머신 개수에 따라 확장 가능함을 보였다.

In this study, a novel parallel wavefront correction system architecture is proposed, and a model-based tabu search (MBTS) algorithm is introduced for this new system to compensate wavefront aberration caused by atmospheric turbulence in a free-space optical (FSO) communication system. The algorithm flowchart is presented, and a simple hypothetical design for the parallel correction system with multiple adaptive optical (AO) subsystems is given. The simulated performance of MBTS for an AO-FSO system is analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm offers better performance in wavefront aberration compensation, coupling efficiency, and convergence speed than a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm.

This paper presents the polygon-based Q-leaning and Parallel SVM algorithm for object search with multiple robots. We organized an experimental environment with one hundred mobile robots, two hundred obstacles, and ten objects. Then we sent the robots to a hallway, where some obstacles were lying about, to search for a hidden object. In experiment, we used four different control methods: a random search, a fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process to determine the next action of the robots, and hexagon-based Q-learning, and dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm to enhance the fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process. In this paper, the result show that dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm is better than the other algorithm to tracking for object.
