Modern mobile devices are equipped with various accelerated processing units to handle computationally intensive applications; therefore, Open Computing Language (OpenCL) has been proposed to fully take advantage of the computational power in heterogeneous systems. This article introduces a parallel software decoder of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes on an embedded heterogeneous platform using an OpenCL framework. The LDPC code is one of the most popular and strongest error correcting codes for mobile communication systems. Each step of LDPC decoding has different parallelization characteristics. In the proposed LDPC decoder, steps suitable for task-level parallelization are executed on the multi-core central processing unit (CPU), and steps suitable for data-level parallelization are processed by the graphics processing unit (GPU). To improve the performance of OpenCL kernels for LDPC decoding operations, explicit thread scheduling, vectorization, and effective data transfer techniques are applied. The proposed LDPC decoder achieves high performance and high power efficiency by using heterogeneous multi-core processors on a unified computing framework.

Backpressure based scheduling has been considered as a promising technique for improving the throughput of a wide range of communication networks. However, this scheduling technique has not been well studied for heterogeneous wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a virtual-queue based backpressure scheduling (VQB) algorithm for heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks. The VQB algorithm introduces a simple virtual queue for each flow at a node for backpressure scheduling, whose length depends on the cache size of the node. When calculating flow weights and making scheduling decisions, the length of a virtual queue is used instead of the length of a real queue. We theoretically prove that VQB is throughput-optimal. Simulation results show that the VQB algorithm significantly outperforms a classical backpressure scheduling algorithm in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks in terms of the packet delivery ratio, packet delivery time, and average sum of the queue lengths of all nodes per timeslot.

Power-efficient base station (BS) operation is one of the important issues in future green cellular networks. Previously well-known BS operation schemes, the cell zooming scheme and the cell wilting and blossoming scheme, require tight cooperation between cells in cellular networks. With the previous schemes, the non-cooperative BSs of a serving cell and neighboring cells could cause coverage holes between the cells, thereby seriously degrading the quality of service as well as the power saving efficiency of the cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient BS operation scheme for green downlink heterogeneous cellular networks, in which the networks virtually adjust the coverage of a serving macrocell (SM) and neighboring macrocells (NMs) without adjusting the transmission power of the BSs when the SM is lightly loaded, and the networks turn off the BS of the SM when none of active users are associated with the SM. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly improves the power saving efficiency without degrading the quality of service (e.g., system throughput) of a downlink heterogeneous LTE network and outperforms the previous schemes in terms of system throughput and power saving efficiency. In particular, with the proposed scheme, macrocells are able to operate independently without the cooperation of a SM and NMs for green heterogeneous cellular networks.

The purpose of this study is to analyze heterogeneous distribution of branch-like structure at downstream region of inner spray. The previous many studies about diesel spray structure have yet stayed in the analysis of 2-D structure, and there are very few of informations which are concerned with 3-D analysis of the structure. The heterogeneous distribution of droplets in inner spray affects the mixture formation of diesel spray, and also the combustion characteristics of the diesel engines. Therefore, in order to investigate 3-D structure of evaporative spray the laser beam of 2-D plane was used in this study. Liquid fuel was injected from a single-hole nozzle (l/d=5) into a constant-volume vessel under high pressure and temperature in order to visualize the spray phenomena. The incident laser beam was offset on the central axis. From the images analysis taken by offset of laser beam, we examine formation mechanism of heterogeneous distribution by vortex flow at the downstream of the diesel spray. As the experimental results, the branch-like structure formed heterogeneous distribution of the droplets consists of high concentration of vapor phase in the periphery of droplets and spray tip of branch-like structure. Also the 3-D spatial structure of the evaporative diesel spray can be verified by images obtained from 2-D measurement methods.

This study analyzes the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity on investors' heterogeneous beliefs. The hypothesis of this study is based on the conflicting effects of CSR activities on firm value and earning's quality. Investors' heterogeneous beliefs used in the empirical analysis of this study are trading volume, and CSR activity is measured by the KEJI Index (Korea Economic Justice Institute Index). This study performs an empirical analysis using regression analysis including control variables. CSR activities are found to have a positive relationship with trading volume. This is consistent regardless of the low and high accounting information (earning's quality). It can be interpreted that Korea's CSR activity acts as an incentive to increase investors' heterogeneous beliefs about target companies. In other words, it implies that the investor judges CSR activities negatively when evaluating firm value. This study could have a policy implication in that it analyzes how CSR activities affect investors' decision-making. In other words, this study analyzed CSR activities from the perspective of shareholders. Therefore, this study is expected to provide useful information for policymaking by regulatory agencies. In particular, its contribution is to presents data that CSR activities can be a negative factor in evaluating firm values.

최근 수년간의 급속한 기술의 발전과 대량생산 체제의 영향으로 개인용 컴퓨터와 간단한 네트워크 장비를 이용한 클러스터 시스템 구현이 용이해졌으나 개인용 컴퓨터의 교체 주기가 짧아짐에 따라 시스템 구성을 자유롭게 할 수 있는 클러스터 시스템의 이기종화를 초래하였다. 이기종 클러스터 시스템을 이용하여 구축된 병렬처리 시스템의 경우 그 성능을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 각 노드의 성능을 고려한 작업 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이기종 클러스터 시스템에서 MPI와 Cilk 병렬처리 시스템의 특성을 성능측면에서의 speedup과 활용도측면에서의 프로그램 코드의 복잡도를 정량적으로 살펴보았다. 실험에 따르면 작은 데이터를 이용하는 경우 Cilk가, 큰 데이터를 이용하거나 정규화된 데이터 교환 형태를 갖는 경우 MPI가 더 좋은 성능을 보였으며 코드 복잡도의 경우 Cilk가 간결한 프로그래밍 스타일을 제공함을 보였다.

Heterogeneous components have different component models, which prevents such components from sharing the functionalities of other components based on the different models. As one of methods for linking heterogeneous components, this paper suggests a proxy component to construct a bridge between heterogeneous components of OPRoS (Open Platform for Robotic Service) and RTM (Robot Technology Middleware). The proxy component consists of two types of components called Adaptor and Interceptor, via which the heterogeneous components can exchange data and services easily. The proposed method enables adaptor and interceptor components to directly invoke the services of the latter and the former, respectively, in order to exchange data and services on a real-time basis. The proxy component can be implemented for OPRoS and RT (Robot Technology) component models to connect with RT and OPRoS ones, respectively. It is shown through a simple experiment that the proposed method works well for real-time control.

As a special topic of the vehicle routing problems (VRP), VRPSDP extends the vehicle routing problem as considering simultaneous pickup and delivery for goods. The past studies have mainly dealt with a only weight constraint of a loading capacity for heterogeneous products. However. this study suggests VRPSDP considering separate loading area according to characteristics of loading species. The objective is to design a set of minimum distance routes for the vehicle routing assignment with independent capacity for heterogeneous species. And then we present a another HVRPSDP model which is easy to utilizes in a unique circumstance that is a guarantee of executing a task simultaneously from the various areas under restricted time and raising an application of vehicles that returns at the depot for the next mission like the military group. The optimal results of the suggested mathematical models are solved by the ILOG CPLEX software ver. 12.4 that is provided by IBM company.
