Optimistic Two-Phase Locking(O2PL) performs as well as or better than the other approaches because it exploits client caching well and also has relatively lower network bandwidth requirements. However, O2PL leads to unnecessary waits, because, it can not be commit a transaction until the transaction obtains all requested locks. In addition, Optimistic Concurrency Control(OCC) tends to make needless aborts. This paper suggests an efficient optimistic cache consistency protocol that overcomes such shortcomings. Our scheme decides whether to commit or abort a transaction without wait and it adopts transaction re-ordering in order to minimize the abort rate. Our scheme needs only one version for each data item in spite of the re-ordering mechanism used. Finally, this paper presents a simulation-based analysis that shows superiority in performance of out scheme to O2PL and OCC.

In a client-server spatial database, it is desirable to maintain the cached data in a client side to minimize the communication overhead across a network. This paper deals with the issues of concurrency and consistency of map updates in this environment. A client transaction to update map data is an interactive work and takes a long time to complete it. The map update in a client site may affect the other sites'updates because of dependencies between spatial data stored at different sites. The concurrent updates should be propagated to the other clients as well as the server to keep the consistency of map replicated in a client cache, and also the communication overhead of the update propagation should be minimized not to lose the benefit of caching. The newly proposed cache region locking with CR lock and CX lock controls the update dependency due to spatial relationships. CS lock and COD lock are suggested to use optimistic detection-based approaches for guaranteeing the consistency of cached client data. The cooperative update protocol uses these extended locking primitives and Spatial Relationship-based 2PC (SR-based 2PC). This paper argues that the concurrent updates of cached client spatial data can be achieved by deciding on collaborative updates or independent updates based on spatial relationships.

Embedded systems usually utilize Flash Memories with very nice characteristics of non-volatility, low access time, low power and so on. For the multimedia database systems, R-tree is an indexing tree with nice characteristics for multimedia access. MR-tree, which is an upgraded version of R-tree, has shown better performance in searching, inserting and deleting operations than R-tree. Flash memory has sectors and blocks as a unit of read, write and delete operations. Especially, the delete is done on a unit of 512 byte blocks with very large operation time and it is also known that read and write operations on a unit of block matches caching nature of MT-tree. Our research optimizes MR-tree operations in a unit of Flash memory blocks. Such an adjusting leads in better indexing performance in database accesses. With MR-tree on a 512B block units we achieved fast search time of database indexing with low height of MR-tree as well as faster update time of database indexing with the best fit of flash memory blocks. Thus MR-tree with optimized operations shows good characteristics to be a database index schemes on any systems with flash memory.

본 논문은 방대한 크기의 볼륨 데이타를 효율적으로 렌더링하기 위한 셀 기반 웨이브릿 압축 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 볼륨을 작은 크기의 셀로 나누고, 셀 단위로 웨이브릿 변환을 한 다음 복원 순서에 따른 런-길이(run-length) 인코딩을 수행하여 높은 압축율과 빠른 복원을 제공한다. 또한 최근 복원 정보를 캐쉬 자료 구조에 효율적으로 저장하여 복원 시간을 단축시키고, 에러 임계치의 정규화로 비정규화된 웨이브릿 압축보다 빠른 속도로 정규화된 압축과 같은 고화질의 이미지를 생성하였다. 본 연구의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 {{}} 해상도의 볼륨 데이타를 압축하여 쉬어-？ 분해(shear-warp factorization) 알고리즘에 적용한 결과, 손상이 거의 없는 상태로 약 27:1의 압축율이 얻어졌고, 약 3초의 렌더링 시간이 걸렸다.Abstract This paper presents an efficient cell-based wavelet compression method of large volume data. Volume data is divided into individual cell of {{}} voxels, and then wavelet transform is applied to each cell. The transformed cell is run-length encoded according to the reconstruction order resulting in a fairly good compression ratio and fast reconstruction. A cache structure is used to speed up the process of reconstruction and a threshold normalization scheme is presented to produce a higher quality rendered image. We have combined our compression method with shear-warp factorization, which is an accelerated volume rendering algorithm. Experimental results show the space requirement to be about 27:1 and the rendering time to be about 3 seconds for {{}} data sets while preserving the quality of an image as like as using original data.

본 논문에서는 GIS 관련 연산을 실시간에 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 분산공유메모리 기반 병렬처리 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문의 분산공유메모리 시스템은 메시지전달 방식의 분산메모리 MIMD 컴퓨터 상에 소프트웨어 기반 분산공유메모리 모듈을 탑재함으로써 구현되었다. 또한 GIS 연산의 기본이 되는 공간 객체를 공유의 기본 단위로 설정하고, GIS 데이타의 특성을 반영하여 읽기전용 공유데이타 타입을 추가하였으며, 네트워크 오버헤드를 줄이기 위하여 복수의 객체를 한번에 읽어오는 bulk access가 가능하도록 하였다. 본 시스템에서는 GIS 데이타의 효율적인 분배를 위하여 부하균등화 기법으로 guided self scheduling을 사용하였다. 실험결과 본 시스템은 네트워크 캐쉬의 효율적인 활용을 통하여 소프트웨어 기반 분산메모리 시스템의 오버헤드에도 불구하고 MPI 기반 메시지전달 방식에 비하여 향상된 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.Abstract In this paper, we propose a distributed shared memory(DSM) based parallel processing system to process GIS related computations efficiently in real time. The system is based on a software DSM module implemented on top of a distributed MIMD computer. In the DSM system, spatial object, which is a fundamental structure to represent GIS data, is used as a basic unit for sharing, and a read-only shared data type is added to reflect the characteristics of GIS data. In addition, a bulk access to multiple shared data is made possible to reduce the network overhead. A guided self scheduling method is devised for efficient load balancing in distributing GIS data to parallel processors. The experimental results show that the DSM system performs better than an MPI based message-passing system through the efficient utilization of network cache in spite of the system's software overhead.

In this paper we have designed and implemented a method of using extended memory and hard disk space as a data buffer for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. We use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows some speed improvement for the application program. We have also implemented a number of functions to allow easier handling of pointer operations used by application programs.

공유 디스크(Shared Disks: SD) 클러스터는 온라인 트랜잭션 처리를 위해 다수 개의 컴퓨터를 연동하는 방식으로, 각 노드들은 디스크 계층에서 데이타베이스를 공유한다. SD 클러스터에서 트랜잭션 라우팅은 사용자 트랜잭션이 요청될 경우 이를 실행할 노드를 결정하는 것을 의미한다. 이때, 동일한 클래스에 속하는 트랜잭션들을 가급적 동일한 노드에서 실행시킴으로써 캐쉬 무효화 오버헤드를 최소화할 수 있으며, 이러한 기법을 친화도 기반 트랜잭션 라우팅이라 한다. 한편, 트랜잭션 클래스의 발생빈도는 동적으로 변할 수 있으며, 특정 트랜잭션 클래스가 폭주할 경우 정적인 친화도 기반 트랜잭션 라우팅 정책만으로는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 참조 지역성을 고려하여 동적인 트랜잭션 클래스의 부하를 SD 클러스터의 모든 노드들에 균등히 분배하는 동적 트랜잭션 라우팅 기법을 제안한다.

Recently, studies on the mobile computing environments that enable mobile hosts to move while retaining its network connection are in progress. In these mobile computing environments, one of the necessary components is the distributed file system supporting mobile hosts, and there are several issues for the design and implementation of the shared file system. Among these issues, there are problems caused by network traffic on limited bandwidth of wireless media. Also, there are consistency maintenance issues that are caused by update-conflicts on the shared files in the distributed file system. In this paper, we propose TWB(Trickle Write-Back) scheme that utilizes weak connectivity for cache management of mobile clients. This scheme focuses on saving bandwidth, reducing waste of disk space, and reducing risks caused by disconnection. For such goals, this scheme lets mobile clients write back intermediate states periodically or on demand while delaying unnecessary write-backs. Meanwhile, this scheme is based on the existing distributed file system architecture and provides transparency.

A shared disk (SD) cluster couples multiple nodes for high performance transaction processing, and all the coupled nodes share a common database at the disk level. To reduce the number of disk accesses, each node caches database pages in its memory buffer. Since a particular page may be cached simultaneously in different nodes, cache consistency should be maintained to ensure that nodes can always access the most recent version of database pages. Most cache consistency schemes proposed in the SD cluster adopted LRU as a buffer replacement algorithm. In this paper, we first present four buffer replacement algorithms that consider the characteristics of the SD cluster. Then we compare the performance of the buffer replacement algorithms. We perform the experiments on a variety of cluster configurations and database workloads. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithms achieve performance improvement up to 5 times of LRU algorithm.
