Major Research Achievement

    1. On the year of 1971, in Taiwan, there are only a few (about 30) computers and the term “computer” is still a new terminology to most people, we had built a “mini computer”. The computer was built from raher primitive components:
      (a) ALU : small scale integration IC (diode transistor logic, 930 series).
      (b) Random access memory small cores.
      (c) Control memory large cores.
      (d) Input/Output switches, display tubes.
      (e) Others transistors, resistors, capacitors,
      Although the computer is small, it is programmable and has a microprogrammable control unit. It is the first home-made computer in Taiwan. (reference: J. C. Tsay, “The First Home-Made Minicomputer in R. O. C.,” Science Monthly, Vol. 2, No. 9, pp. 48-54, 1971. (in Chinese))
    2. On 1981, the first programmable industrial robot was born in Taiwan. The robot consists of three parts: robot control unit, positioning control unit, and mechanical manipulator. The robot control unit is implemented on the microcomputer MEK 6800D2. The manipulator has five degrees of freedom consisting of three cylindrical axes, a wrist, and a jaw. (reference: J. C. Tsay, J. M. Shyu, and W. J. Tsai, “Implementation of a Programmable Industrial Robot,” Proceedings of NCS, NCKU, Tainan, R. O. C., Dec. 1981, pp. 15-29. (in Chinese))
    3. On 1986, in Taiwan, the first full page of Chinese newspaper had been composed and produced by computer. The composition system is implemented in VAX-11/780(VMS). A graphic display terminal Tektronix 4611 is used to simulate the composition operations. (reference: J. C. Tsay and P. Y. Chang, “A Full-Page Composition System for Chinese Newspaper,” Proceedings of 1986 MIST Workshop, Sept. 1986, pp. 513-524. (in Chinese))

 

Research Plan

My research interest in the future is on the field of parallel computation:
How to increase computation speed has been an important problem in the field of computer science for a long time. Using multiple processing elements (PEs) to form a parallel computer is an effective method to increase the computation speed, since all PEs can cooperately perform a computation. There are different types of parallel computers, such as pipelined computers, array processors, multiprocessor system, data flow computers, and VLSI algorithmic processors. In the last category, systolic array and wavefront array are two typical representatives. Systolic array and wavefront array are introduced on 1978 by Dr. H. T. Kung and Dr. S. Y. Kung respectively. Since then, how to design systolic algorithms/arrays and wavefront algorithms/arrays to solve various problems becomes an active field of research, especially, the former one. The importance of this field can be seen from the following. The structure of these arrays satisfy the regularity and local-communication characteristics. These characteristics matching with the current VLSI technology make the implementation of such arrays feasible. Many researchers has participated on this field, for examples, Dr. S. Y. Kung, D. I. Moldavian, P. Quinton, H. T. Kung, F. C. Lin, G. J. Li, M. S. Lam, M. C. Chen, J. A. B. Fortes, B. W. Wah, . . . International conferences on systolic array are held. Up to now, three conferences have been held on 1986, 1988, and 1989 respectively. Topics on this field of research in which I am currently interested are listed in the following:

    1. How to design parallel algorithms and parallel arrays, such as systolic arrays, from a given algorithm.
    2. How to express the design steps by formal algebraic notations.
    3. What are the algebraic relations between different equivalent designs?
    4. Design of parallel programming languages.
    5. Design of regular arrays.
    6. Implementation of CAD tools for designing parallel arrays.
