The apparatus may perform partition scheduling based on a priority and in this instance, may perform partition scheduling to minimize the number of idle cores. The apparatus may include a partition queue to manage a partition scheduling event; a partition scheduler including a core map to store hardware information of each of the plurality of cores; and a partition manager to perform partition scheduling with respect to the plurality of cores in response to the partition scheduling event, using the hardware information.

Abstract: Memory mapping in small units using a segment and subsegments is described, and thus it is possible to control a memory access even using a small amount of hardware, and it is possible to reduce costs incurred by hardware. Additionally, it is possible to prevent a memory from being destroyed due to a task error in the multi-processor system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for enhancing security and stability in a heterogeneous computing environment that supports an open standard parallel program are provided. A method of enhancing security in a heterogeneous computing environment may include loading a source code kernel corresponding to an application program to be installed in a host system, determining whether the source code kernel is targeted for integrity check, based on a security policy of the host system, prior to cross-compiling the source code kernel, requesting a security engine of a computing device to check an integrity of the source code kernel, when the source code kernel is determined to be targeted for the integrity check, and controlling an operation of a runtime compiler based on a check result received from the security engine.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for correcting a tone of a panoramic image. An image processing apparatus may acquire, from an overlapping region of a left image and a right image, ghost information based on an optimal threshold and a cost map in which a similarity between the left image and the right image is reflected, may generate a tone correction map based on a global tone correction function generated using the ghost information in the overlapping region, and based on a local tone correction level generated using local information of an optimal seam, and may correct the left image and the right image using a final tone correction map generated by applying, to the tone correction map, a weighting based on the left image and a weighting based on the right image.

Abstract: A transaction splitting apparatus and method are provided in which neighboring sub-transactions accessing a predetermined bank in each memory may access different banks. The transaction splitting apparatus includes a first processing unit to split a transaction into at least one sub-transaction, the transaction accessing a first bank among a plurality of banks comprised in a memory, and a second processing unit to translate an address of the at least one sub-transaction, to interleave the at least one sub-transaction using the plurality of banks.

Abstract: A signal processing apparatus and method for providing a spatial impression. The signal processing apparatus applies a reverberation effect to a summed signal formed by summing original signals corresponding to locations of a plurality of sound sources, and removes a correlation from the summed signal, thereby generating reverberation signals corresponding to the locations of the plurality of sound sources. Next, the signal processing apparatus applies panning information derived from the original signals, thereby reflecting location information of the original signals.
