An integrated display software platform for small UAV is developed based on parallel processing technique in this paper. When the small UAV with high-performance camera and avionic modules is employed to various surveillance-related missions, it is important to reduce the operator's workload and increase the monitoring efficiency. For this purpose, it is needed to develop an efficient monitoring software enable to manipulate the image and flight data obtained during flight within the given processing time and display them simultaneously. In this paper, we set up requirements and suggest the architecture for the software platform. The integrated software platform is implemented with parallel processing scheme. Based on AR drone, we verified that the various data are concurrently displayed by the suggest software platform.

Parallel processing in block cryptographic algorithm is difficult, because Feistel structure that is basis structure of block cryptographic algorithm is sequential processing structure. Therefore this paper changes these sequential processing structure and Feistel structure made parallel processing to be possible. This paper that apply this modified structure designed DES that have parallel Feistel structure. Proposed parallel Feistel structure could prove greatly block cryptographic algorithm's performance such as DES and so on that could not but have trade-off relation the data processing speed and data security interval because block cryptographic algorithm can not use pipeline method because of itself structural problem. Therefore, modified Feistel structure is going to display more superior security function and processing ability of high speed than now in case apply way that is proposed to SEED, AES's Rijndael, Twofish etc. that apply Feistel structure.

A feed forward differential architecture of analog PRML decoder is investigated to implement on analog parallel processing circuits. The conventional PRML decoder performs the trellis processing with the implementation of single stage in digital and its repeated use. The analog parallel processing-based PRML comes from the idea that the decoding of PRML is done mainly with the information of the first several number of stages. Shortening the trellis processing stages but implementing it with analog parallel circuits, several benefits including higher speed, no memory requirement and no A/D converter requirement are obtained. Most of the conventional analog parallel processing-based PRML decoders are differential architecture with the feedback of the previous decoded data. The architecture used in this paper is without feedback, where error metric accumulation is allowed to start from all the states of the decoding stage, which enables to be decoded without feedback. The circuit of the proposed architecture is simpler than that of the conventional analog parallel processing structure with the similar decoding performance. Characteristics of the feed forward differential architecture are investigated through various simulation studies.

This paper is concerned with an application of Parallel Genetic Algorithms(PGA) to optimal econmic load dispatch(ELD) in power systems. The ELD problem is to minimize the total generation fuel cost of power outputs for all generating units while satisfying load balancing constraints. Genetic Algorithms(GA) is a good candidate for effective parallelization because of their inherent principle of evolving in parallel a population of individuals. Each individual of a population evaluates the fitness function without data exchanges between individuals. In application of the parallel processing to GA, it is possible to use Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream(SIMD), a kind of parallel system. The architecture of SIMD system need not data communications between processors assigned. The proposed ELD problem with C code is implemented by SIMSCRIPT language for parallel processing which is a powerfrul, free-from and versatile computer simulation programming language. The proposed algorithms has been tested for 38 units system and has been compared with Sequential Quadratic programming(SQP).

As the number of high-density videos increase, parallel processing approaches are necessary to process a large-scale of video data. When a processing method of video data requires thousands of simple operations, GPU-based parallel processing is preferred to CPU-based parallel processing by way of reducing the time and space complexities of a given computation problem. This paper studies the parallel design and implementation of a shot-boundary detection algorithm. The proposed shot-boundary detection algorithm uses pixel brightness comparisons and global histogram data among the blocks of frames, and the computation of these data is characterized with the high parallelism for the related operations. In order to maximize these operations in parallel, the computations of the pixel brightness and histogram are designed in parallel and implemented in NVIDIA GPU. The GPU-based shot detection method is tested with 10 videos from the set of videos in National Archive of Korea. In experiments, the detection rate is similar but the computation time is about 10 time faster to that of the CPU-based algorithm.

Compared to the conventional Hardware-oriented base stations, Software Defined Radio (SDR)-based base station provides various advantages especially in flexibility and expandability. It enables the multimode capability required in 4th-generation (4G) environment which aims at a convergence network of various kinds of communication standards. However, since a single base station processes all data required in various multiple waveforms, the SDR base station faces a problem of data processing speed. In this paper, we propose a new concept of SDR base station system which adopts a parallel processing technology of clustering environment. We implemented a WiMAX system with SDR concept which adopts the Message Passing Interface (MPI) technology which enables the speed-up operations. In order to maximize the efficiency of parallel processing in signal processing, we analyze how the algorithm at each of modules is related to data to be processed. Through the implemented system, we show a drastic improvement in operation time due to parallel processing using the proposed MPI technology. In addition, we demonstrate a feasibility of SDR system for 4G or even beyond-4G as well.

The scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) is an effective algorithm used in object recognition, panorama stitching, and image matching. However, due to its complexity, real-time processing is difficult to achieve with current software approaches. The increasing availability of parallel computers makes parallelizing these tasks an attractive approach. This paper proposes a novel parallel approach for SIFT algorithm implementation using a block filtering technique in a Gaussian convolution process on the SIMD Pixel Processor. This implementation fully exposes the available parallelism of the SIFT algorithm process and exploits the processing and input/output capabilities of the processor, which results in a system that can perform real-time image and video compression. We apply this implementation to images and measure the effectiveness of such an approach. Experimental simulation results indicate that the proposed method is capable of real-time applications, and the result of our parallel approach is outstanding in terms of the processing performance.

Heterogeneous computing is a technology that utilizes different types of processors to perform parallel processing. It maximizes task processing and energy efficiency by leveraging various computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. On the other hand, edge computing has developed with IoT and 5G technologies. It is a distributed computing that utilizes computing resources close to clients, thereby offloading the central server. It has evolved to intelligent edge computing combined with artificial intelligence. Intelligent edge computing enables total data processing, such as context awareness, prediction, control, and simple processing for the data collected on the edge. If heterogeneous computing can be successfully applied in the edge, it is expected to maximize job processing efficiency while minimizing dependence on the central server. In this paper, experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of various parallel programming models on high-end and low-end edge devices by using benchmark applications. We analyzed the performance of five parallel programming models on the Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Orin Nano as low-end and high-end devices, respectively. In the experiment, OpenACC showed the best performance on the low-end edge device and OpenSYCL on the high-end device due to the stability and optimization of system libraries.
