최근 고품질, 초고해상도 실시간 렌더링 지원을 위하여 다중 GPU 렌더링에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 실시간 렌더링에서 여러 개의 GPU로 고성능을 달성하기 위해서는 GPU 간의 데이터 전송 지연과 프레임 합성 부하를 고려해야 한다. 이 논문은 이러한 부하를 최소화하고 다중 GPU의 효율을 향상하기 위해 split frame 렌더링의 동기화를 묵시적 질의 기반으로 향상하는 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 이러한 묵시적 동기화 기반 프레임 합성을 지원하기 위한 메시지 큐 기반의 렌더링 스케줄링 알고리즘도 제안한다. 본 알고리즘을 적용한 실험은 본 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘 대비 200% 이상 효율을 향상함을 확인하였다.

제한된 무선통신 대역폭 및 불완전한 무선통신 인프라, 이동 단말기의 배터리 용량 등과 같은 이동 컴퓨팅 환경의 고유한 특성으로 인해 이동 단말기에서 실행되는 e-비즈니스 응용은 잦은 접속단절에 직면하게 된다. 또한 고가의 무선통신 비용이나 잦은 무선 통신으로 인해 급격하게 소모되는 이동 단말기 전력을 절약하기 위해 자발적인 접속단절 상태에서 동작하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 데이터비축을 이용하여 대부분 접속 단절 상태에서 이동 단말기에서 자치적으로 이동 트랜잭션을 처리하면서도 데이터 중복과 네트워크 분할로 인해 발생가능한 일관성 문제를 효율적으로 해결할 수 있는 분할 동기화 이동 트랜잭션 모델을 제안한다. 분할 동기화 이동 트랜잭션 모델은 이동 트랜잭션을 컴포넌트 단위로 분할한 후, 서버에서의 사용 가능성과 충돌 가능성을 고려하여 컴포넌트 트랜잭션들로 동기화 우선순위를 할당하고 우선순위가 높은 컴포넌트 트랜잭션들부터 동기화를 우선 실시하여 부분 결과를 공개한다. 결과적으로 이동 클라이언트에서 변경한 데이터에 대한 서버에서의 가용성을 높이고, 중요도가 낮은 부분은 이동 단말기의 제한된 자원 및 무선 대역폭과 고가의 통신 요금 등을 고려하여 서버에 늦게 반영함으로써 무선 대역폭 및 컴퓨팅 자원의 활용도를 극대화시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

The coordinated control of the traffic signals of adjacent intersections can reduce delays, relative number of stops and congestions in the coordinated traffic area. The road capacity can be increased to a certain extend because the stopping and starting of vehicles facing red traffic lights can be avoided in many instances due to the progression established along an artery. However, if traffic centers or leaves the main flow in irregular volumes on the intermediate road section, a coordination of traffic signals is unnecessary and may even be harmful. Therefore, a computer simulation model to simulate and predict the effectiveness of a synchronized traffic signal system in the CBD of Seoul was developed and alternative policy variables, such as cycle time, offsets, phase splits, to be fed into the simulation model had to be generated. This is a report of (1) the development of a heuristic algorithm for the determination of phase splits when there are amber periods specifically reserved for left turns and (2) the computerization of time-space diagramming.

Often a network becomes complex, and multiple entities would get in charge of managing part of the whole network. An example is a utility grid. While the entire grid would go under a single utility company's responsibility, the network is often split into multiple subsections. Subsequently, each subsection would be given as the responsibility area to the corresponding sub-organization in the utility company. The issue of how to make subsystems of adequate size and minimum number of interconnections between subsystems becomes more critical, especially in real-time simulations. Because the computation capability limit of a single computation unit, regardless of whether it is a high-speed conventional CPU core or an FPGA computational engine, it comes with a maximum limit that can be completed within a given amount of execution time. The issue becomes worsened in real time simulation, in which the computation needs to be in precise synchronization with the real-world clock. When the subject of the computation allows for a longer execution time, i.e., a larger time step size, a larger portion of the network can be put on a computation unit. This translates into a larger margin of the difference between the worst and the best. In other words, even though the worst (or the largest) computational burden is orders of magnitude larger than the best (or the smallest) computational burden, all the necessary computation can still be completed within the given amount of time. However, the requirement of real-time makes the margin much smaller. In other words, the difference between the worst and the best should be as small as possible in order to ensure the even distribution of the computational load. Besides, data exchange/communication is essential in parallel computation, affecting the overall performance. However, the exchange of data takes time. Therefore, the corresponding consideration needs to be with the computational load distribution among multiple calculation units. If it turns out in a satisfactory way, such distribution will raise the possibility of completing the necessary computation in a given amount of time, which might come down in the level of microsecond order. This paper presents an effective way to split a given electrical network, according to multiple criteria, for the purpose of distributing the entire computational load into a set of even (or close to even) sized computational loads. Based on the proposed system splitting method, heavy computation burdens of large-scale electrical networks can be distributed to multiple calculation units, such as an RTDS real time simulator, achieving either more efficient usage of the calculation units, a reduction of the necessary size of the simulation time step, or both.

Real-time substructuring techniques are currently an advanced experimental method for testing large size specimens in the laboratory. In dynamic substructuring, the whole tested system is split into two linked parts, the part of particular interest or nonlinearity, which is tested physically, and the remanding part which is tested numerically. To achieve near-perfect synchronization of the interface response between the physical specimen and the numerical model, a good controller is needed to compensate for transfer system dynamics, nonlinearities, uncertainties and time-varying parameters within the physical substructures. This paper presents the substructuring approach and control performance of the linear and the adaptive controllers for testing the dynamic characteristics of soil-structure-interaction system (SSI). This is difficult to emulate as an entire system in the laboratory because of the size and power supply limitations of the experimental facilities. A modified linear substructuring controller (MLSC) is proposed to replace the linear substructuring controller (LSC).The MLSC doesn't require the accurate mathematical model of the physical structure that is required by the LSC. The effects of parameter identification errors of physical structure and the shaking table on the control performance of the MLSC are analysed. An adaptive controller was designed to compensate for the errors from the simplification of the physical model in the MLSC, and from parameter identification errors. Comparative simulation and experimental tests were then performed to evaluate the performance of the MLSC and the adaptive controller.
