An aerodynamic design optimization system for three-dimensional wing was developed as a part of the future MDO framework. The present design optimization system includes four modules such as geometry design, grid generation, flow solver and optimizer. All modules were based on commercial softwares and programmed to have automated execution capability in batch mode utilizing built-in script and journaling. The integration of all modules into the system was accomplished through programming using Visual Basic language. The distributed computational environment based on network communication was established to save computational time especially for time-consuming aerodynamic analyses. The distributed aerodynamic computations were performed in conjunction with the global optimization algorithm of response surface method, instead of using usual parallel computation based on domain decomposition. The application of the design system in the drag minimization problem demonstrated considerably enhanced efficiency of the design process while the final design showed reasonable results of reduced drag.

In this paper, a three-dimensional Euler aeroelastic analysis program is developed with a second-order staggered algorithm to reduce the lagging errors between the fluid and structural solvers. In the unsteady aerodynamic analysis, a dual-time stepping method based on the diagonalized-ADI algorithm is adopted to improve the time accuracy and a parallelized multi-grid method is used to save the computing time. The aeroelastic analyses of AGARD 445.6 wing model have been performed to verify the Euler aeroelastic analysis code. The analysis results are compared with the experimental data and other computational results. The results show comparatively good correlation when they are compared with other references.

One of the fundamental requirements of entertainment applications is interactivity with users. The mobile device such as the smartphone, however, does not guarantee it due to the limit of the application processor's computing power, memory size and available electric power of the battery. This paper proposes a methodology to boost responsiveness of interactive applications by taking advantage of the parallel architecture of mobile devices which, for instance, have dual-core, quad-core or octa-core. To harness the multi-core architecture, it exploits the POSIX thread, a platform-independent thread library to be able to be used in various mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, etc. As a useful application example of the methodology, a heavy matrix calculation function was transformed to a parallelized version which showed around 2.5 ~ 3 times faster than the original version in a real-world usage environment.

Recently, explosion of internet user requires fundamental changes on the architecture of Web service system, from single server system to clustered server system, in parallel with the effort for improving the scalability of the single internet server system. But current cluster-based server systems are dedicated to the single application, for example, One-IP server system. One-IP server system has a clustered computing node with the same function and tries to distribute each request based on the If to the clustered node evenly. In this paper, we implemented the more useful application service platform. It works on shared clustered server(back-end server) with an application server(front-end server) for a particular service. An application server provides a particular service at a low load by itself, but as the load increases, it reconfigures itself with one or more available server from the shared cluster and distributes the load on selected server evenly We used PVM for an effective management of the clustered server. We found the implemented application service platform provides more stable and scalable operation characteristics and has remarkable performance improvement on the dynamic load changes.

In this paper, we propose the scheme solving privacy infringement in RFID systems with improving the scalability of back-end server. With RFID/USN becoming important subject, many approaches have been proposed and applied. However, limits of RFID, low computation power and storage, make the protection of privacy difficult. The Hash Chain scheme has been known as one guaranteeing forward security, confidentiality and indistinguishability. In spite of that, it is a problem that requires much of computation to identify tags in Back-End server. In this paper, we introduce an efficient key search method, the Hellman Method, to reduce computing complexity in Back-End server. Hellman Method algorism progresses pre-computation and (re)search. In this paper, after applying Hellman Method to Hash chain theory, We compared Preservation and key reference to analyze and apply to parallel With guaranteeing requistes of security for existing privacy protecting Comparing key reference reduced computation time of server to reduce computation complex from O(m) to $O(\frac{m{^2/3}}{w})$ than the existing form.

Mobile agents are defined as processes which can be autonomously delegated or transferred among the hosts in a network in order to perform some computations on behalf of the user and co-operate with other agents. Currently, mobile agents are used in various fields, such as electronic commerce, mobile communication, parallel processing, search of information, recovery, and so on. In pure P2P network environment, if mobile agents that require computing resources rashly migrate to another peers without consideration on the peer's capacity of resources, the peer may have a problem that the performance of the peer is degraded due to lack of resources. To solve this problem, we propose resource reservation based load balancing scheme of using RMA(Resource Management Agent) that monitors workload information of the peers and that decides migrating agents and destination peers. In mobile agent migrating procedure, if the resource of specific peer is already reserved, our resource reservation scheme prevents other mobile agents from allocating the resource.

A virtual reality system must provide participants with a natural interaction, a sufficient immersion, and mostly, realistic images. To achieve this, it is crucial to provide a fast and uniform rendering speed regardless of the complexity of virtual worlds, or the complexity of simulation. In this paper, a virtual reality system which offers an improved rendering performance for complex virtual reality applications has been designed and implemented. The key idea of the proposed system is to exploit the multi-thread scheme in system module design, and execute each modules in parallel. Taking such design approach, rendering, simulation, and interaction can be executed independently. Hence, in applications where a simulation is complex or a scene is very large, this system can provide a more uniform and faster frame rates. The proposed method has been experimented under the various application environments in which scenes and simulations are very complex.

The problem of video scheduling is analyzed in the framework of divisible load scheduling. A divisible load can be divided into any number of fractions (parts) and can be processed/computed independently on the processors in a distributed computing system/network, as there are no precedence relationships. In the video scheduling, a frame can be split into any number of fractions (tiles) and can be processed independently on the processors in the network, and then the results are collected to recompose the single processed frame. The divisible load arrives at one of the processors in the network (root processor) and the results of the computation are collected and stored in the same processor. In this problem communication delay plays an important role. Communication delay is the time to send/distribute the load fractions to other processors in the network. and the time to collect the results of computation from other processors by the root processors. The objective in this scheduling problem is that of obtaining the load fractions assigned to each processor in the network such that the processing time of the entire load is a minimum. We derive closed-form expression for the processing time by taking Into consideration the communication delay in the load distribution process and the communication delay In the result collection process. Using this closed-form expression, we also obtain the optimal number of processors that are required to solve this scheduling problem. This scheduling problem is formulated as a linear pro-gramming problem and its solution using neural network is also presented. Numerical examples are presented for ease of understanding.

In this paper, we propose automatic OpenCL optimization techniques that offer the best performance for image processing programs on any hardware system. Developers should seek a proper way of parallelization and an appropriate work-group size for the architecture of target compute devices to achieve the best performance. However, testing potential devices to find them is both time-consuming and costly. Our techniques automatically set up hardware-optimized parallelization and find a suitable work-group size for the target device. Furthermore, using OpenCL does not always provide better performance in image processing. Hence, we also propose a way to automatically search for a threshold image size to allow image processing programs to decide whether or not to use OpenCL. Our findings demonstrate that out techniques improve the image processing performance significantly.

It is important to speed up the loading time of web applications. Parsing is a loading process that contributes to an increased loading time. To address this issue, the optimization called Concurrent Parsing has been proposed which handles the parsing process in parallel by using additional threads. However, Concurrent Parsing has a limitation that it does not consider the priority order of parsing. In this paper, we propose heuristics that exploit priorities of parsing to improve the Concurrent Parsing. For parsing priority, we empirically investigate the sequence of function calls, classify functions into 3 categories, and extract function call probabilities. If a function has high call probability, we give a high priority and if a function has low probability, we give a low priority. We evaluate this priority heuristics on real web applications and get the 2.6% decrease of loading time on average.
