A graphic processing unit (GPU) can perform the same calculation on multiple data (SIMD: single instruction multiple data) using hundreds of to thousands of special purpose processors for graphic processing. Thus, high efficiency is expected when GPU is used for the generation and correlation of satellite navigation signals, which perform generation and processing by applying the same calculation procedure to tens of millions of discrete signal samples per second. In this study, the structure of a GPU-based GNSS simulator for the generation and processing of satellite navigation signals was designed, developed, and verified. To verify the developed satellite navigation signal generator, generated signals were applied to the OEM-V3 receiver of Novatel Inc., and the measured values were examined. To verify the satellite navigation signal processor, the performance was examined by collecting and processing actual GNSS intermediate frequency signals. The results of the verification indicated that satellite navigation signals could be generated and processed in real time using two GPUs.

Virtual memory is used as the method to ensure the safety of the system through memory protection in the real-time system. TLB miss caused by using virtual memory makes the real-time system WCET more pessimistically. TLB lockdown can be applied as a method to improve this problem. However, processors with limited TLB lockdown entries, a selection criterion is needed to efficiently utilize the TLB lockdown entry. In this paper, the most frequently accessed virtual pages in the process are applied to the TLB lockdown by analyzing memory profiling. The results showed that micro data TLB miss stall cycle and main data TLB miss stall cycle of the processor decreased by at least 4.7% and up to 29.7%.

This paper presents a vision-based robust off-road terrain classification method against environmental variation. As a supervised classification algorithm, we applied a neural network classifier using wavelet features extracted from wavelet transform of an image. In order to get over an effect of overall image feature variation, we adopted environment sensors and gathered the training parameters database according to environmental conditions. The robust terrain classification algorithm against environmental variation was implemented by choosing an optimal parameter using environmental information. The proposed algorithm was embedded on a processor board under the VxWorks real-time operating system. The processor board is containing four 1GHz 7448 PowerPC CPUs. In order to implement an optimal software architecture on which a distributed parallel processing is possible, we measured and analyzed the data delivery time between the CPUs. And the performance of the present algorithm was verified, comparing classification results using the real off-road images acquired under various environmental conditions in conformity with applied classifiers and features. Experiments show the robustness of the classification results on any environmental condition.

We have constructed a level-1 processor to generate brightness temperatures using the direct-broadcast data from the passive microwave radiometer onboard Aqua satellite. Although 50-minute half-orbit data, called a granule, are being routinely produced by global data centers, to our knowledge, this is the first attempt to process 10-minute long direct-broadcast (DB) data. We found that the processor designed for a granule needs modification to apply to the DB data. The modification includes the correction to path number, the selection of land mask and the manipulation of dummy scans. Pixel-to-pixel comparison with a reference indicates the difference in brightness temperature of about 0.2 K rms and less than 0.05 K mean. The difference comes from the different length of data between 50-minute granule and about 10-minute DB data. In detail, due to the short data length, DB data do not always have correct cold sky mirror count. The DB processing system is automated to enable the near-real time generation of brightness temperatures within 5 minutes after downlink. Through this work, we would be able to enhance the use of AMSR-E data, thus serving the objective of direct-broadcast.

In fuzzy control systems having large volumes of fuzzy data. one of the important problems is the improvement of execution speed in the fuzzy inference and defuzzification stages. In this paper, to improve the speedup of fuzzy controllers, we use an integer line mapping algorithm to convert [0, 1] real values in the fuzzy membership functions to integer pixels. U sing this, we propose a real-time high-speed fuzzy control system and implement a fast fuzzy processor and control system using FPGAs.

With the growing data size and the increased computing load in machine learning, energy-efficient resource planning in IoT systems is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we suggest a new resource planning policy for real-time workloads that can be fluctuated over time in IoT systems. To handle such situations, we categorize real-time tasks into fixed tasks and variable tasks, and optimize the resource planning for various workload conditions. Based on this, we initiate the IoT system with the configuration for the fixed tasks, and when variable tasks are activated, we update the resource planning promptly for the situation. Simulation experiments show that the proposed policy saves the processor and memory energy significantly.
