The invention pertains to a system for assessing the level of social responsibility of a business and for monitoring improvements using the assessed level as a baseline. The system includes a self-assessment testing method which establishes a score or “grade” indicative of the level of social responsibility of the business which can be used for comparative purposes internally or externally. In terms of a business entity, the invention provides for a self-assessment process to objectively determine the level of social responsibility of the company in a manner subject to outside verification. The process isolates components of social responsibility. The results permit precise decision making implementing change and reevaluation. The process results in a score or grade that is subject to verification or auditing by an outside agency in order that it will be a meaningful assessment outside of the confines of the company and in a broader community. It may be used for comparison to industry standards, universal standards, past performance, or the like. In broader terms, the invention provides a vehicle for a sponsoring agency or a collaboration of entities (“sponsor”) to provide the business community with a means of verifiable self-assessment of the level of social responsibility of businesses. This permits the sponsor to adopt standards for the purpose of comparison of one business to another, to an industry group, to other industries, or to past performance.

Each of processors has a barrier write register and a barrier read register. Each barrier write register is wired to each barrier read register by a dedicated wiring block. For example, a 1-bit barrier write register of a processor is connected, via the wiring block, to a first bit of each 8-bit barrier read register contained in the processors, and a 1-bit barrier write register of another processor is connected, via a wiring block, to a second bit of each 8-bit barrier read register contained in the processors. For example, a processor writes information to its own barrier write register, thereby notifying synchronization stand-by to the other processors and reads its own barrier read register, thereby recognizing whether the other processors are in synchronization stand-by or not. Therefore, a special dedicated instruction is not required along barrier synchronization processing, and the processing can be made at a high speed.

In a discharge lamp unit, a casing member arranged such that the casing member holds a circuit board therein and holds a discharge lamp supporting section being exposed outside of the casing member. A thermal absorption protect layer is formed on the surface on the side on which the discharge lamp supporting section is exposed. The thermal absorption protect layer allows the casing member to inhibit absorption of radiant heat induced by the discharge lamp. Since the thermal absorption protect layer inhibits the casing member from absorbing the radiant heat from the discharge lamp, the amount of heat generated by the discharge lamp reaching the circuit board may be reduced. Therefore, the circuit board is not easily heated.
