In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture of Reed-Solomon(RS) decoder. To improve the speed. we develope an architecture featuring parallel and pipelined processing. To implement the parallel and pipelined processing architecture, we analyze the RS decoding algorithm and the honor's algorithm for parallel processing and we also modified the Euclid's algorithm to apply the efficient parallel structure in RS decoder. To show the proposed architecture, the performance of the proposed RS decoder is compared to Shao's and we obtain the 10 % efficiency in area and three times faster in speed when it's compared to Shao's time domain decoder. In addition, we implemented the proposed RS decoder with Altera FPGA Flex10K-50.

In a the present day, many vision inspection techniques are used in productive industrial areas. In particular, in the semiconductor industry the vision inspection system for wafers is a very important system. Also, inspection techniques for semiconductor wafer production are required to ensure high precision and fast inspection. In order to achieve these objectives, parallel processing of the inspection algorithm is essentially needed. In this paper, we propose the GPU (Graphical Processing Unit)-based parallel processing algorithm for the fast inspection of semiconductor wafers. The proposed algorithm is implemented on GPU boards made by NVIDIA Company. The defect detection performance of the proposed algorithm implemented on the GPU is the same as if by a single CPU, but the execution time of the proposed method is about 210 times faster than the one with a single CPU.

A parallel condensation algorithm for efficient dynamic analysis of three-dimensional large-scale structures is presented. The algorithm is developed for a user-friendly and cost effective high-performance computing system on a collection of Pentium processors connected via a 100 Mb/s Ethernet LAN. To harness the parallelism in the computing system effectively, a large-scale structure is partitioned into a number of substructures equal to the number of computers in the computing system Then, for reduction in the size of an eigenvalue problem the computations required for static condensation of each substructure is processed concurrently on each slave computer. The performance of th proposed parallel algorithm is demonstrated by applying to dynamic analysis of a three dimensional structure. The results show that how the parallel algorithm facilitates the efficient use of a small number of low-cost personal computers for dynamic analysis of large-scale structures.

With the continuous growth of data size and the use of compression technology, data reduction has great research value and practical significance. Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing semantic compression algorithm, this paper is based on the analysis of ItCompress algorithm, and designs a method of bidirectional order selection based on interval partitioning, which named An Optimized Iterative Semantic Compression Algorithm (Optimized ItCompress Algorithm). In order to further improve the speed of the algorithm, we propose a parallel optimization iterative semantic compression algorithm using GPU (POICAG) and an optimized iterative semantic compression algorithm using Spark (DOICAS). A lot of valid experiments are carried out on four kinds of datasets, which fully verified the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents an application of parallel Genetic Algorithm-Tabu Search (GA-TS) algorithm to search an optimal solution of a service restoration in distribution systems. The main objective of service restoration of distribution systems is, when a fault or overload occurs, to restore as much load as possible by transferring the do-energized load in the out of service area via network reconfiguration to the appropriate adjacent feeders at minimum operational cost without violating operating constraints, which is a combinatorial optimization problem. This problem has many constraints with many local minima to solve the optimal switch position. This paper develops parallel GA-TS algorithm for service restoration of distribution systems. In parallel GA-TS, GA operators are executed for each processor. To prevent solutions of low fitness from appearing in the next generation, strings below the average fitness are saved in the tabu list. If best fitness of the GA is not changed for several generations, TS operators are executed for the upper $10\%$ of the population to enhance the local searching capabilities. With migration operation, best string of each node is transferred to the neighboring node after predetermined iterations are executed. For parallel computing, we developed a PC cluster system consists of 8 PCs. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU and is connected with others through ethernet switch based fast ethernet. To show the validity of the proposed method, proposed algorithm has been tested with a practical distribution system in Korea. From the simulation results, we can find that the proposed algorithm is efficient for the distribution system service restoration in terms of the solution quality, speedup, efficiency and computation time.

This paper presents an application of parallel Genetic Algorithm-Tabu Search(GA-TS) algorithm to search an optimal solution of a reconfiguration in distribution system. The aim of the reconfiguration of distribution systems is to determine switch position to be opened for loss minimization in the radial distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. This problem has many constraints and very difficult to solve the optimal switch position because it has many local minima.

To prevent solution of low fitness from appearing in the next generation, strings below the average fitness are saved in the tabu list.

X-Match algorithm is a lossless compression algorithm suitable for hardware implementation owing to its simplicity. It can compress 32 bits per clock cycle and is suitable for real time compression. However, as the bus width increases 64-bit, the compression unit also need to increase. This paper proposes the cooperative parallel X-Match (X-MatchCP) algorithm, which improves the compression speed by performing the two X-Match algorithms in parallel. It searches the all dictionary for two words, combines the compression codes of two words generated by parallel X-Match compression and outputs the combined code while the previous parallel X-Match algorithm searches an individual dictionary. The compression ratio in X-MatchCP is almost the same as in X-Match. X-MatchCP algorithm is described and simulated by Verilog hardware description language.

In this work, we construct a CPU cluster to implement a parallel finite-difference time domain(FDTD) algorithm for fast electromagnetic analyses. This parallel FDTD algorithm can reduce the computational time significantly and also analyze electrically larger structures, compared to a single FDTD counterpart. The parallel FDTD algorithm needs communication between neighboring processors, which is performed by the MPI(Message Passing Interface) library and a 3-D domain decomposition is employed to decrease the communication time between neighboring processors. Compared to a single-processor FDTD, the speed up factor of a-CPU-cluster-based parallel FDTD algorithm is investigated for the normal mode and the hypermode and finally analyze an electrically large concrete structure by the developed parallel algorithm.

Pattern matching algorithm is widely used in many application fields such as bio-informatics, intrusion detection, etc. Among many string matching algorithms, KMP (Knuth-Morris-Pratt) algorithm is commonly used because of its fast execution time when using large texts. However, the processing speed of KMP algorithm is also limited when the text size increases significantly. In this paper, we propose a high throughput parallel KMP algorithm considering CPU-GPU memory hierarchy based on OpenCL in GPGPU (General Purpose computing on Graphic Processing Unit). We focus on the optimization for the allocation of work-times and work-groups, the local memory copy of the pattern data and the failure table, and the overlapping of the data transfer with the string matching operations. The experimental results show that the execution time of the optimized parallel KMP algorithm is about 3.6 times faster than that of the non-optimized parallel KMP algorithm.
