병렬 기계 작업장에서 자원을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서는 처리할 작업을 적절한 기계에 할당해야 한다. 특정 작업을 처리할 기계를 선택할 때 휴리스틱을 사용할 수도 있으나, 특정 작업장에 맞춤화된 휴리스틱을 개발하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 반면, 본 논문에서는 이종 병렬 기계 작업장을 위한 작업 할당 모형을 개발하는데 강화학습을 응용하고자 한다. 작업 할당 모형을 학습하는데 필요한 에피소드들은 상용 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 FlexSim을 이용하여 생성하였다. 아울러, stable-baseline3 라이브러리를 이용하여 강화학습 알고리즘을 생성된 에피소드들에 적용하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 시뮬레이션과 강화학습이 작업장 운영관리에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective functions is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this circumstance, the value of objective functions is obtained by real/computational experiments such as structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, thermodynamic analysis, and so on. These experiments are, in general, considerably expensive. In order to make the number of these experiments as few as possible, optimization is performed in parallel with predicting the form of objective functions. Response Surface Methods (RSM) are well known along this approach. This paper suggests to apply Support Vector Machines (SVM) for predicting the objective functions. One of most important tasks in this approach is to allocate sample data moderately in order to make the number of experiments as small as possible. It will be shown that the information of support vector can be used effectively to this aim. The effectiveness of our suggested method will be shown through numerical example which is well known in design of engineering.

We analysised the effect of harmonics on electric machines of substation power system barred on quantitatively measured harmonics and proposed the methods for prevention of harmonics through checking on transformer, rectifier and cable's capacities against harmonics with reference to KEPCO's electricity service standard. In order to analysis harmoninics of silicon rectifier that is power source in DC substation, computer simulations for a substation with TR of high voltage distribution switchboard are performed. Simulation results show that the total harmonic distortion factor becomes smaller for TR primary and receiving points in order rather than silicon rectifier which is harmonic generation source so that the harmonics generated frets each rectifier are outflowed to power supply and high voltage distribution switchboard The result of higher distortion factors of voltage and current for rectifier with 100% load than those with 50 % and 30% indicates that the waveform of voltage and current for the real substation power system at the office-going and the closing hours with heavy loads might be more distorted. As proposed methods for harmonic reduction, the conventional 6 pulse-type for substation is required to be replaced by 12 pulse-type for reduction of 5th and 7th harmonics. The active filter rather than the passive filter is more effective due to severe variance of rectifier loads, but the high cost is price to be paid. In view of installation area and costs, the use of 12 pulse-type transformer is desirable and then the parallel transformer and the rectifier within the substation must be replaced at the same time. Other substations with parallel feeder can use 6 pulse-type transformer.

This paper describes the minimum ignition limits for propane-air 5.25 Vol.% mixture gases in low voltage inductive circiuts. The improved effects on the ignition limit are studied by parallel safety components(resistors) for propane-air 5.25 Vol.% mixture gas in low voltage inductive circuits. The experimental devices used in this test are the IEC type spark ignition test apparatus. The minimum ignition limits are controlled by the values of current in inductive circuit. Energy supplied from electric source is first accumulated at the inductance, it's extra energy is working as ignition source of the explosive gas. The improved effects on the ignition limit are respectively obtained as the maximum rising rate of 330% by composing parallel circuits between inductance and resistor as compared with disconnecting inductance with the safety components. The more values of inductance increase the higher improved effects of ignition limit rise. The less values of resistor the higher improved effects of ignition limit rise. It is considered that the result can be used for not only data for researches and development of intrinsically safe explosion-proof machines which are applied equipment and detectors used in dangerous areas but also for datum for its equipment tests.

대부분 병렬처리 시스템에서 성능 파라미터는 복잡하고 프로그램의 수행 시 예견할 수 없게 변하기 때문에 컴파일러가 프로그램 수행에 대한 최적의 성능 파라미터들을 컴파일 시에 결정하기가 힘들다. 본 논문은 병렬 처리 시스템의 프로그램 수행 시, 변화하는 시스템 성능 상태에 따라 전체 성능이 최적화로 적응하는 적응 수행 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 이 적응 수행 방식 중에 적응 프로그램 수행을 위한 이론적인 방법론 및 구현 방법에 대해 제안하고 적응 제어 수행을 위해 프로그램의 데이타 공유 단위에 대한 적응방식(적응 입도 방식)을 사용한다. 적응 프로그램 수행 방식은 프로그램 수행 시 하드웨어와 컴파일러의 도움으로 프로그램 자신이 최적의 성능을 얻을 수 있도록 적응하는 방식이다. 적응 제어 수행을 위해 수행 시에 병렬 분산 공유 메모리 시스템에서 프로세서 간 공유될 수 있은 데이타의 공유 상태에 따라 공유 데이타의 크기를 변화시키는 적응 입도 방식을 적용했다. 적응 입도 방식은 기존의 공유 메모리 시스템의 공유 데이타 단위의 통신 방식에 대단위 데이타의 전송 방식을 사용자의 입장에 투명하게 통합한 방식이다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 적응 입도 방식에 의해서 하드웨어 분산 공유 메모리 시스템보다 43%까지 성능이 개선되었다. Abstract On parallel machines, in which performance parameters change dynamically in complex and unpredictable ways, it is difficult for compilers to predict the optimal values of the parameters at compile time. Furthermore, these optimal values may change as the program executes. This paper addresses this problem by proposing adaptive execution that makes the program or control execution adapt in response to changes in machine conditions. Adaptive program execution makes it possible for programs to adapt themselves through the collaboration of the hardware and the compiler. For adaptive control execution, we applied the adaptive scheme to the granularity of sharing adaptive granularity. Adaptive granularity is a communication scheme that effectively and transparently integrates bulk transfer into the shared memory paradigm, with a varying granularity depending on the sharing behavior. Simulation results show that adaptive granularity improves performance up to 43% over the hardware implementation of distributed shared memory systems.

In thrust bearings, the thrust collar and bearing surface need to be parallel to each other to ensure that all pads share the same load. In rotating machines, the shaft system cannot achieve perfect alignment. Misalignment of the thrust collar results in some pads supporting a higher load than others and excessive loads being placed on some pads. Consequently, high loads and high temperatures may occur in the bearing. Thus, in this study, we aim to analytically evaluate the performance of a misaligned non-equalizing direct lubricated tilting pad thrust bearing. We define the oil film thickness of the misaligned thrust bearing using the Byrant angle. Additionally, we calculate the pressure distribution and temperature distribution of the thrust bearing using the generalized Reynolds equation and energy equation. The design limit of the thrust bearing is defined by the load and temperature. Therefore, we evaluate the allowable misalignment angle as the limit of the maximum load and temperature. The analysis results demonstrate that an increase in the speed and load corresponds to a smaller allowable misalignment angle. However, as this is not the same for all thrust bearings, evaluating the allowable misalignment angle at each thrust bearing is essential.

This paper discusses the parallelization of multifrontal solution method, widely used for finite element structural analyses, for a shared memory architecture. Multifrontal method is easier than other linear solution methods because the solution procedure implies that unknowns can be eliminated simultaneously. Two innovative ideas are introduced to achieve optimal solver performance on a shared memory computer. Those are pairing two frontal matrices and splitting the frontal matrix in order to reduce the temporal memory space required by independent computing tasks. Performance comparisons between original algorithm and proposed one prove that proposed method is more computationally efficient on current multicore machines.

Since the introduction of Nanoimprint in the mid-1990s, Nanoimprint lithography, a low-cost, non-convential method, has been the dominant lithography technology that guarantees high-throughput patterning of nanostructures. Based on the mechanical embossing mechanism, Nanoimprint lithography creates the nanopatterns on the polymer material cast on the substrate. In essence, the process needs nanofabrication equipment for printing with the adequate control of temperature, pressure and control of parallels of the stamp and substrate. This article introduce the possibility and reality of the thermal control on the hot plate using a CFD code. Numerical computation has been conducted for assessing the feasibility of a hot plate($120{\times}120\;mm2$). PID control is adopted to ensure high temperature uniformity in several zones. Parallel experiments have also been performed for verifying thermal performance. Not only show the results the optimum number of thermocouples related to controllers but also suggest that the thermal simulation using a CFD code would be an alternative method to design and develop the thermal control equipment in the financial aspect.

In the case of developing the real-time system using object-oriented method, k the problem of the timing constraints is certainly considered. we propose the method of modeling the object-oriented real-time system using the OMT methodology and the SDL. And we also present the predictable time table that reflects the constraints of real-time system into dynamic model of OMTs and the predicatable time formula of the sequence, repeat, and parallel routine. The proposed method is applied to the estimate of the maximum process time of the ATMs(Automatic teller machines) and is used to specifying the functional specification for the user interface of the ATMs using the SDL syntax and the object interaction graph.
