In this paper, we present a coprocessor that can operate with ARM microprocessors. The coprocessor supports IEEE 754 standard single- and double-precision binary floating point arithmetic operations. The design objective is to achieve minimum-area, low-power and acceleration of processing power of ARM microprocessors. The instruction set is compatible with ARM7500FE. The coprocessor is written in verilog HDL and synthesized by the SYNOPSYS Design Compiler. The gate count is 38,115 and critical path delay is 9.52ns.

This paper presents a design and MPW implementation of 3D Graphics Floating Point IPs. Designed IPs include adder, subtractor, multiplier, divider, and reciprocal unit. The IPs have pipelined structures. The IPs meet the accuracy required in OpenGL ES. The operation frequency of the IPs is 100MHz. The IPs can be efficiently used in 3D graphics accelerators.

This paper presents the hardware design of a 32bit floating point based processor. The processor can perform nonlinear functions such as sinusoidal functions, exponential functions, and other nonlinear functions. Using the Taylor series and the Newton - Raphson method, nonlinear functions are approximated. The processor is actually embedded on an FPGA chip and tested. The numerical accuracy of the functions is compared with those computed by the MATLAB.

A floating dry dock is an advanced structure that can provide a solution for dry dock space shortages. The critical point in floating dock operation is compensating the deflection caused by a heavy payload by adjusting the water level in the ballast system. An appropriate ballasting plan warrants safe and precise construction on a floating dock. Particularly, in the case of a 2D floating dock, ballasting plan evaluation is crucial due to complex deformation modes. In this paper, we developed a method to calculate the optimal ballasting plan for accurate and precise construction on a 2D floating dock. The finite element method was used for considering the flexibility of the floating dock as well as the construction blocks. Through a gradient-based optimization algorithm, the optimal ballasting plan for the given load condition was calculated in semi-real time (5 min). The present method was successfully used for the actual construction of an offshore structure on the 2D floating dock.

This paper deals with the analysis of dynamic characteristics of mooring system of floating-type offshore wind turbine. A spar-type floating structure which consists of a nacelle, a tower and the platform excepting blades, is used to model the floating wind turbine and connect three catenary cables to substructure. The motion of floating structure is simulated when the mooring system is attached using irregular wave Pierson-Moskowitz model. The mooring system is analyzed by changing cable position of floating structure. The dynamic behavior characteristics of mooring system are investigated comparing with cable tension and 6-dof motion of floating structure. These characteristics are much useful to initial design of floating-type structure. From the simulation results, the optimized design parameter that is cable position of connect point of mooring cable can be obtained.

Floating breakwaters were treated as solid bodies without any perforation in previous studies. In this study, however, a floating breakwater is perforated to allow the partial absorption of the energy produced by incident waves and an air chamber is placed in the upper part to control the breakwater draft. A series of laboratory experiments for a floating breakwater installed with a mooring system are carried out. In general, a mooring system can be classified by the number of mooring points, the shape of the mooring lines, and the degree of line tension. In this study, a four-point mooring is employed since it is relatively easier to analyze the measured results. Furthermore, both the tension-leg and the catenary mooring systems have been adopted to compare the performance of the system. In laboratory experiments, the hydraulic characteristics of a floating breakwater were obtained and analyzed in detail. Also, a hydraulic model test was carried out on variable changes by changing the mooring angle and thickness of perforated wall. A hydraulic model was designed to produce wave energy by generating a vortex with the existing reflection method. Analysis on wave changes was conducted and the flow field around the floating breakwater and draft area, which have elastic behavior, was collected using the PIV system. From the test results the strong vortex was identified in the draft area of the perforated both-sides-type floating breakwater. Also, the wave control performance of the floating breakwater was improved due to the vortex produced as the tension in the mooring line decreased.

The effective geometry processing IP architecture for mobile SoC that has real time 3D graphics acceleration performance in mobile information system is proposed. Base on the proposed IP architecture, we design the floating point arithmetic unit needed in geometry process and the floating point geometry processor supporting the 3D graphic international standard OpenGL-ES. The geometry processor is implemented by 160k gate area in a Xilinx-Vertex FPGA and we measure the performance of geometry processor using the actual 3D graphic data at 80MHz frequency environment The experiment result shows 1.5M polygons/sec processing performance. The power consumption is measured to 83.6mW at Hynix 0.25um CMOS@50MHz.
