  • PVM(Parallel Virtual Machine)은 네트워크 상에 분산되어 있는 여러 시스템들을 투명하게 활용하여 사용자에 고성능 병렬 컴퓨팅을 지원하는 단일 가상 시스템(single virtual system)으로 인식되게 하는 middle-ware 소프트웨어이다. 초고속 통신망을 기반으로 하는 PVM에서는 임의의 태스크로부터 하나의 메시지를 전송하기 위해 세 번의 메시지 복사가 필요하며, 이는 PVM의 성능 저하를 가져오는 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 이 논문에서는 zero-copy PVM 통신 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 PVM 태스크, PVM 데몬, 네트워크 인터페이스 보드 등에 의해 동시 접근이 가능한 전역 공유 메모리(global shared memory)를 이용하며, 초고속 통신망을 기반으로 하고 있다. 이 모델에서 PVM 태스크는 전송하고자 하는 메시지를 전역 공유 메모리에 저장하고, 메시지를 보낼 준비가 되었음을 PVM 데몬에게 알리며, 데몬은 해당 메시지를 커널을 통하지 않고 바로 초고속 통신망으로 전송함으로써, 메시지의 메모리 복사 횟수를 감소 시킨다. 실험 결과 두 시스템간의 메시지 왕복 시간은 제안된 모델을 사용함으로써 현저히 줄어 들었음을 확인하였다.

  • This paper presents the design and project of an innovative concept for a Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) Machine. Nowadays, equipment currently available for conducting SPIF result mostly from the adaptation of conventional CNC machine tools that results in a limited range of applications in terms of materials and geometries. There is also a limited market supply of equipment dedicated to Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF), that are costly considering low batches, making it unattractive for industry. Other factors impairing a quicker spread of SPIF are large forming times and poor geometrical accuracy of parts. The following sections will depict the development of a new equipment, designed to overcome some of the limitations of machines currently used, allowing the development of a sounding basis for further studies on the particular features of this process. The equipment here described possesses six-degrees-of freedom for the tool, for the sake of improved flexibility in terms of achievable tool-paths and an extra stiffness provided by a parallel kinematics scheme. A brief state of the art about the existing SPIF machines is provided to support the project's guidelines.

  • 4차 산업혁명이 진행되면서 제조업에서 사물인터넷(IoT), 머신러닝과 같은 지능정보기술을 적용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 반도체/LCD/타이어 제조공정에서는 납기일(due date)을 준수하면서 작업물 종류 변경(Job change)으로 인한 작업 준비 비용(Setup Cost)을 최소화하는 일정계획을 수립하는 것이 효과적인 제품 생산을 위해 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 병렬기계에서 딥러닝 기반의 납기 지연과 작업 준비 비용 최소화를 달성하는 일정계획 생성 모델을 제안한다. 제안한 모델은 과거의 많은 데이터를 이용하여 고려되어지는 주문에 대해 작업 준비와 납기 지연을 최소화하는 패턴을 학습한다. 따라서 세 가지 주문 리스트의 난이도에 따른 실험 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 기법이 기존의 우선순위 규칙보다 성능이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.

  • 노이만 계산 모델의 병렬처리 구조는 구조 속성상의 취약성으로 인해 대량 병렬처리 구조로서는 한계가 있다. 데이터 플로우 계상 모델은 소프트웨어적 고 프로그램성과 하드웨어적 높은 개발 가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 실제 데이터 플로우 구조에서는 프로그래밍과 실험을 행하고자 할때, 노이만 방식의 기계는 많지만 실제 데이터 플로우 컴퓨터가 없으므로 대단히 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 일반적 재래 병렬처리기계중 하나인 이완결합 다중프로세서 시스템위에서 데이터 플로우 방식의 계산을 수행시킬 수 있는 프로그래밍 환경을 제시하였다. 에뮬레이터는 iPSC/2 하이퍼 큐프를 이용하여 Tagged Token 데이터 플로우 구조를 구축하였다. 본 에뮬레이터는 iPSC/2시스템에서 소프트웨어적 박층 실험으로 프로그래머의 입장에서는 iPSC/2 시스템이 데이터 플로우 주고로서 농작하는 것으로 간주한다. 여러 가지 수치 혹은 비수치 알고리즘을 데이터 플로우 어셈블리어로 구현하여 재래식 C 언어에 의한 것과 프로그램의 성능을 비교하였다. 이로써, 재래식 병렬처리 기계상의 에뮬레이터를 통한 실험적 데이터 플로우 계산을 행할 때 이 프로그래밍 환경의 효율성에 대하여도 검정하였다.

  • This study focuses on the problem of scheduling wafer lots of several product families in the deposition workstation in a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility. There are multiple identical parallel machines in the deposition workstation, and two types of setups, record-dependent setup and family setup, may be required at the deposition machines. A record-dependent setup is needed to find optimal operational conditions for a wafer lot on a machine, and a family setup is needed between processings of different families. We suggest two-phase heuristic algorithms in which a priority-rule-based scheduling algorithm is used to generate an initial schedule in the first phase and the schedule is improved in the second phase. Results of computational tests on randomly generated test problems show that the suggested algorithms outperform a scheduling method used in a real manufacturing system in terms of the sum of weighted flowtimes of the wafer lots.

  • Postmodern American science fiction authors often dramatize the human fear and hope for the newly emerging artificial life forms. For example, Helen as an advanced artificial intelligence Richard Power's Galatea 2.2 shows that the student's memorizing efforts for exams can be useless someday. In Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash machines are liable to be infected with viruses like human bodies. In He, She and It, Piercy's parallel of an artificial human (Yod) and a mythic personification (Golem) allegorically reveals the pandora-like unpredictable effect of advanced technology. More than the mechanical entities (the diffusion and linear models for Latour), these biologically artificial entities reveal the limitations of even the fantastically idealized technology simply because the human being as the creators or impersonators of these machines are not perfect. Compared to illustrative mechanism, biologically artificial entities (Latour's transition or whirlwind models) are inherently rebellious because of their closeness to the creators. The Butler's organic environmental interaction of the Earthseed convincingly demonstrates how the wrong use of science ruins the holy earth and also how human beings survive through the right use of effective science with the aid of anthroposophy.

  • The development of automatic production systems has a trend toward Computer Integrated Manufacturing System(CIMS) in recent years. In hardware configuration, CIMS are composed of intelligent CAD/CAM work stations, multifunction CNC machining centers including material handling systems. The DNC systems present the key element of automation hierarchy in a FMS. A DNC system is one which connects a number of numerically-controlled machines to a common memory in a digital computer for part program storage with provision for on-demand distribution of part program data to machines using communication in hierarchical structure of central computer, control computer and cell controller. This paper describes the development of Behind-the-Tape-Reader(BTR) type DNC system using CYBER 180-830 as a central computer and IBM PC-386 cell control computer and NC lathe with FANUC 5T NC controller. In this system, the connection between central computer and cell control computer is done via RS-232C serial interface board, and the connection between cell control computer and FANUC 5T controller is done via parallel interface board. The software consists of two module, central computer communication module for NC program downloading and status uploading, NC machine running module for NC operating.

  • A straightforward method for optimal determining of a high frequency inductor's parasitic capacitance is presented. The proposed estimation method is based on measuring the inductor's impedance samples over a limited frequency range bordering on the resonance point considering k-dB deviation from the maximum impedance. An optimized solution to k could be obtained by minimizing the root mean squared error between the measured and the estimated impedance values. The model used to provide the estimations is a parallel RLC circuit valid at resonance frequency which will be transferred to the real model considering the mentioned interval of frequencies. A straightforward algorithm is suggested and programmed using MATLAB which does not require a wide knowledge of design parameters and could be implemented using a spectrum analyzer. The inputs are the measured impedance samples as a function of frequency along with the diameter of the conductors. The suggested algorithm practically provides the estimated parameters of a real inductance model at different frequencies, with or without design information. The suggested work is different from designing a high frequency inductor; it is rather concentration of determining the parameters of an available real inductor that could be easily done by a recipe provided to a technician.

  • 2G HTS tapes are widely used for various electric machines. In addition, stacked or parallel connected HTS tapes are essentially used to raise transport current level for large capacity electric machines. Therefore, critical current characteristic of stacked tapes need to be studied. Recently developed 2G HTS tapes are fabricated with various defects doping so that tapes possess pinning center to improve the critical current characteristic. During this process, the critical current is determined minimum value in not perpendicular magnetic field but a specific magnetic field angle according to the reported research. However, the effects of magnetic field angle to critical current of multi-stacked 2G HTS tapes have not been examined. In this paper, field coil which is a race-track coil wound by using an HTS tape with iron-core was fabricated to apply angle adjustable magnetic field to the 2G HTS tape samples. We measured critical current of single and multi-stacked two tapes that have different characteristic depending on various magnetic field angle and magnitude in liquid nitrogen environment. Furthermore, results of single and multi-stacked tapes were compared and analyzed.

  • This study was conducted to develop system for high speed rice transplanting machines. The control system includes a sensor detecting the tilt angle of the seedling bed, a micro-controller and a hydraulic system consisting of a double acting cylinder, a four-way three-position solenoid valve, a relief valve and a hydraulic pump. The levelling system shared the pump with the existing steering control, resulting in a tandem center circuit for the steering and levelling control systems. Using the input signal from the sensor, the micro-controller determined and generated the output signal to control the cylinder through the solenoid valve to keep the seedling bed always parallel to the water surface regardless of soil unevenness during the transplanting operations. Both an ON/OFF and a PWM control schemes were tested. When the flow rate was more than 1 ι/min in the ON/OFF control, the system showed unstable rolling. However, in the PWM control, the system worked stably although the flow rate was more than 1 ι/min. The PWM control showed a better performance when a large difference between the angle and the dead band of the control system occurred. The characteristics of tile system response to given tilt angles were predicted by a computer simulation. Both the ON/OFF and the PWM control systems worked well providing that the operating and waiting times were properly adjusted.
