  • In this paper, we propose an integrated GUI environment of parallel fuzzy inference system fur pattern classification of remote sensing data. In this, as 4 fuzzy variables in condition part and 104 fuzzy rules are used, a real time and parallel approach is required. For frost fuzzy computation, we use the scan line conversion algorithm to convert lines of each fuzzy linguistic term to the closest integer pixels. We design 4 fuzzy processor unit to be operated in parallel by using FPGA. As a GUI environment, PCI transmission, image data pre-processing, integer pixel mapping and fuzzy membership tuning are considered. This system can be used in a pattern classification system requiring a rapid inference time in a real-time.

  • In this paper, we describe the real-time parallel processing simulator developed for the use of performance analysis of rolling missiles. The real-time parallel processing simulator developed here consists of seeker emulator generating infrared image signal on aircraft, real-time computer, host computer, system unit, and actual equipments such as auto-pilot processor and seeker processor. Software is developed from mathematic models, 6 degree-of-freedom module, aerodynamic module which are resided in real-time computer, and graphic user interface program resided in host computer. The real-time computer consists of six TIC-40 processors connected in parallel. The seeker emulator is designed by using analog circuits coupled with mechanical equipments. The system unit provides interface function to match impedance between the components and processes very small electrical signals. Also real launch unit of missiles is interfaced to simulator through system unit. In order to apply the real-time parallel processing simulator to performance analysis equipment of rolling missiles it is essential to perform the performance verification test of simulator.

  • A computer program for computing complex system reliability is described. The program is composed of three phases : Phase I program reduces all series, parallel and series-parallel components and subsequently obtains an irreducible non-series-parallel system. Phase II program enumerates all the possible paths from the source to the sink of the graph. Phase III program then computes system reliability based on the information obtained by the Phase II program. The program is based on a modified version of the algorithm published in [6]. An example of the use of the computer program is given.

  • In this research, we implement Realtime Air Diffusion Prediction System which is a parallel Fortran model running on distributed-memory parallel computers. The system is designed for air diffusion simulations with four-dimensional data assimilation. For regional air quality forecasting a series of dynamic downscaling technique is adopted using the NCAR/Penn. State MM5 model which is an atmospheric model. The realtime initial data have been provided daily from the KMA (Korean Meteorological Administration) global spectral model output. It takes huge resources of computation to get 24 hour air quality forecast with this four step dynamic downscaling (27km, 9km, 3km, and lkm). Parallel implementation of the realtime system is imperative to achieve increased throughput since the realtime system have to be performed which correct timing behavior and the sequential code requires a large amount of CPU time for typical simulations. The parallel system uses MPI (Message Passing Interface), a standard library to support high-level routines for message passing. We validate the parallel model by comparing it with the sequential model. For realtime running, we implement a cluster computer which is a distributed-memory parallel computer that links high-performance PCs with high-speed interconnection networks. We use 32 2-CPU nodes and a Myrinet network for the cluster. Since cluster computers more cost effective than conventional distributed parallel computers, we can build a dedicated realtime computer. The system also includes web based Gill (Graphic User Interface) for convenient system management and performance monitoring so that end-users can restart the system easily when the system faults. Performance of the parallel model is analyzed by comparing its execution time with the sequential model, and by calculating communication overhead and load imbalance, which are common problems in parallel processing. Performance analysis is carried out on our cluster which has 32 2-CPU nodes.

  • This paper describes the design and test of an on-line non-invasive network performance monitor (hardware portion) for the SPAX parallel computer. The SPAX parallel computer supports up to 256 intel P6 processors with 4 P6 processors constituting a processign node. The nodes are interconnected with a dual two-level crossbar network calle dXcent-net. Since the performance of the SPAX parallel computer is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of the network, an on-line non-invasive network performance monitor (with hardware components) has been developed to aid in the monitoring and tunign of the Xcent-net. Successful testing of a prototype node monitor board and PC interface system shows that our monitor design provides a low-cost practical solution to this problem.

  • Current rendering processors are organized mainly to process a triangle as fast as possible and recently parallel 3D rendering processors, which can process multiple triangles in parallel with multiple rasterizers, begin to appear. For high performance in processing triangles, it is desirable for each rasterizer have its own local pixel cache. However, the consistency problem may occur in accessing the data at the same address simultaneously by more than one rasterizer. In this paper, we propose a parallel rendering processor architecture, called DAVID II, resolving such consistency problem effectively. Moreover, the proposed architecture reduces the latency due to a pixel cache miss significantly. The experimental results show that DAVID II achieves almost linear speedup at best case even in sixteen rasterizers.

  • MPAs(Massively Parallel Architectures) should address two fundamental issues for scalability: synchronization and communication latency. Dataflow architecture faces problems of excessive synchronization overhead and inefficient execution of sequential programs while they offer the ability to exploit massive parallelism inherent in programs. In contrast, MPAs based on von Neumann computational model may suffer from inefficient synchronization mechanism and communication latency. DAVRID (DAtaflow/Von Neumann RISC hybrID) is a massively parallel multithreaded architecture which takes advantages of von Neumann and dataflow models. It has good single thread performance as well as tolerates synchronization and communication latency. In this paper, we describe the DAVRID architecture in detail and evaluate its performance through simulation runs over several benchmarks.

  • As the performance of the system increases, more parallelized data is being processed than single processing of data. Today's cpu structure has been developed to leverage multicore, and hence data processing methods are being developed to enable parallel processing. In recent years desktop cpu has increased multicore, data is growing exponentially, and there is also a growing need for data processing as artificial intelligence develops. This neural network of artificial intelligence consists of a matrix, making it advantageous for parallel processing. This paper aims to speed up the processing of the system by using raspberrypi to implement the cluster building and parallel processing system against the backdrop of the foregoing discussion. Raspberrypi is a credit card-sized single computer made by the raspberrypi Foundation in England, developed for education in schools and developing countries. It is cheap and easy to get the information you need because many people use it. Distributed processing systems should be supported by programs that connected multiple computers in parallel and operate on a built-in system. RaspberryPi is connected to switchhub, each connected raspberrypi communicates using the internal network, and internally implements parallel processing using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Parallel processing programs can be programmed in python and can also use C or Fortran. The system was tested for parallel processing as a result of multiplying the two-dimensional arrangement of 10000 size by 0.1. Tests have shown a reduction in computational time and that parallelism can be reduced to the maximum number of cores in the system. The systems in this paper are manufactured on a Linux-based single computer and are thought to require testing on systems in different environments.

  • Content Delivery Networks (CDN) server loads that fluctuant necessitate CDN to improve its service scalability especially when the peak load exceeds its service capacity. The peer assisted scheme is widely used in improving CDN scalability. However, CDN operators do not want to lose profit by overusing it, which may lead to the CDN resource utilization reduced. Therefore, improving CDN scalability moderately and guarantying CDN resource utilization maximized is necessary. However, when and how to use the peer-assisted scheme to achieve such improvement remains a great challenge. In this paper, we propose a new method called Dynamic Moderate Peer-assisted Method (DMPM), which uses time series analysis to predict and decide when and how many server loads needs to offload. A novel peer-assisted mechanism based on the prediction designed, which can maximize the profit of the CDN operators without influencing scalability. Extensive evaluations based on an actual CDN load traces have shown the effectiveness of DMPM.

  • Trackers, especially long-term (LT) trackers, now have a more complex structure and more intensive computation for nowadays' endless pursuit of high accuracy and robustness. However, computing efficiency of LT trackers cannot meet the real-time requirement in various real application scenarios. Considering heterogeneous CPU-GPU platforms have been more popular than ever, it is a challenge to exploit the computing capacity of heterogeneous platform to improve the efficiency of LT trackers for real-time requirement. This paper focuses on TLD, which is the first LT tracking framework, and proposes an efficient parallel implementation based on OpenCL. In this paper, we firstly make an analysis of the TLD tracker and then optimize the computing intensive kernels, including Fern Feature Extraction, Fern Classification, NCC Calculation, Overlaps Calculation, Positive and Negative Samples Extraction. Experimental results demonstrate that our efficient parallel TLD tracker outperforms the original TLD, achieving the 3.92 speedup on CPU and GPU. Moreover, the parallel TLD tracker can run 52.9 frames per second and meet the real-time requirement.
