Flash memory has penetrated our life in various forms. For example, flash memory is important storage component of ubiquitous computing or mobile products such as cell phone, MP3 player, PDA, and portable storage kits. Behind of the wide acceptance as memory is many advantages of flash memory: for instances, low power consumption, nonvolatile, stability and portability. In addition to mentioned strengths, the recent development of gigabyte range capacity flash memory makes a careful prediction that the flash memory might replace some of storage area dominated by hard disks. In order to have overwriting function, one block must be erased before overwriting is performed. This difference results in the cost of reading, writing and erasing in flash memory[1][5][6]. Since this difference has not been considered in traditional buffer replacement technologies adopted in system software such as OS and DBMS, a new buffer replacement strategy becomes necessary. In this paper, a new buffer replacement strategy, reflecting difference I/O cost and applicable to flash memory, suggest and compares with other buffer replacement strategies using workloads as Zipfian distribution and real data.

Respond time and processing rate representing how many tasks can be done during an unit time in a client/server environment are generally use for measuring the performance of computers. In this paper, we suggest a window buffer managing scheme based on a window with many of short-term sliced slots where a media stream is allocated and deallocated into them so that it can maximize the utilization ration of the limited buffer on a multimedia server. And we also propose a buffer substitution scheme for reducing I/O times of a multimedia server by counting re-reference time point about a used block and then it can be reused by the next consecutive media stream.

To support large storage capacity and real-time characteristics of continuous media storage systems, we need to improve the performance of disk I/O subsystems. To improve the performance, we exploited buffer sharing scheme that reduces the number of disk I/Os. We utilized the advance knowledge of continuous media streams that is used to anticipate data demands, and so Promoting the sharing of blocks in buffers. In this paper, we proposed a buffer replacement algorithm that enables subsequent users requesting the same data to share buffer efficiently. The proposed algorithm manages buffers by utilizing reference interval information of blocks. In order to verify validity of the proposed algorithm, we accomplished simulation experiments and showed the results of performance improvements compared to traditional buffer replacement algorithms.

플래시 메모리는 우리 생활에 널리 사용되고 있는 휴대용 저장장치 중의 하나이다. 빠른 입출력 속도와 저전력, 무소음, 작은 크기 등의 장점을 가지나 덮어쓰기가 불가능하고 읽기/쓰기의 속도에 비해 소거 연산의 속도가 매우 느리다는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해, 호스트와 플래시 메모리 사이에 버퍼 캐시를 두어 사용하고 있으며, 버퍼 캐시에 사용되는 교체 정책에 따라 플래시 메모리 장치의 성능이 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 블록 단위의 LRU 기법의 단점을 개선한 HPLRU 기법을 제안한다. HPLRU 기법은 최근에 자주 참조되었던 페이지인 핫 페이지 들을 모아 리스트를 만들어 관리하고, 이를 통해 페이지 적중률을 향상시키고 다른 페이지들로 인해 핫 페이지들이 소거되는 현상을 개선하였다. 이 알고리즘은 임의 데이터 패턴에 좋은 성능을 보이며 쓰기 발생 횟수를 많이 감소시키는 결과를 보였다.

Mosaic is to make a big image by gathering lots of small materials having various colors. With advance of digital imaging techniques, photomosaic techniques using photos are widely used. In this paper, we presents an automatic photomosaic algorithm based on adaptive tiling and block matching. The proposed algorithm is composed of two processes: photo database generation and photomosaic generation. Photo database is a set of photos (or tiles) used for mosaic, where a tile is divided into $4{\times}4$ regions and the average RGB value of each region is the feature of the tile. Photomosaic generation is composed of 4 steps: feature extraction, adaptive tiling, block matching, and intensity adjustment. In feature extraction, the feature of each block is calculated after the image is splitted into the preset size of blocks. In adaptive tiling, the blocks having similar similarities are merged. Then, the blocks are compared with tiles in photo database by comparing euclidean distance as a similarity measure in block matching. Finally, in intensity adjustment, the intensity of the matched tile is replaced as that of the block to increase the similarity between the tile and the block. Also, a tile redundancy minimization scheme of adjacent blocks is applied to enhance the quality of mosaic photos. In comparison with Andrea mosaic software, the proposed algorithm outperforms in quantitative and qualitative analysis.

As the recent performance of microprocessor is improving quickly, the necessity of cache is growing because of the increase of the access time of main memory. Every block of direct-mapped cache maps to one cache line. Although the mapping rule is simple, if different blocks map to one cache line, the miss ratio will be higher than the set-associative cache due to conflicts. In this paper, for the improvement of the direct-mapped cache of OpenRISC, 4-way set-associative cache is proposed. Four blocks of the main memory of the proposed cache map to one cache line so that the miss ratio is less than the direct-mapped cache. Pseudo-LRU Policy, which is one of the Line Replacement Policies, is used for decreasing the number of bits that store LRU value. The OpenRISC core including the 4-way set-associative cache was verified with FPGA emulation. As the result of performance measurement using test program, the performance of the OpenRISC core including the 4-way set-associative cache is higher than the previous one by 50% and the decrease of miss ratio is more than 15%.

According to the prosecutors' office's statistics for 2014, 53% of a bicycle users have experienced theft. The reason for the high rate of bicycle stolen in Korea is that there is no bicycle management system. This is because they do not use bicycle numbers to manage bikes like cars do. Most people do not know if they have a VIN(Vehicle Identification Number) on their bike. If the buyer registers the bicycle in the bicycle management blockchain system, anyone can view the information registered in the chain, so that if the bicycle number is filled in, the bicycle can be identified. In addition, when an accident occurs, blockchain will record what kind of equipment it is replacing, like an automobile, to manage all the information about the bicycle. In this way, consumers can inquire whether they have a history of accident when they make a second-hand transaction. In this paper, we propose a method to construct bicycle management system using bicycle VIN.

This paper proposes an energy-efficient cache and memory management scheme for next-generation IoT devices. The proposed scheme adopts a low-power phase-change memory (PCM) as the main memory of IoT devices, aims at minimizing the write traffic to PCM, which is vulnerable to write operations. Specifically, when a cache block of the last-level cache memory is flushed to main memory, the cache block that causes less writes to PCM is preferentially replaced by tracking the modifications of each cache line that constitutes the cache block. In addition, by considering the reference bit of the cache block and the dirty bit of the cache lines, our scheme reduces the energy consumption without degrading the memory system performances. Through simulations using SPEC benchmarks, it is shown that the proposed scheme reduces the write traffic to PCM by 34.6% on average and the power consumption by 28.9%, without memory performance degradations.

The value and importance of personal information are increasing due to the increasing number of fields where the Internet environment and computing environment are used, and user authentication technology is also changing. Until now, accredited certificates, which are mainly used in the financial sector, are being replaced with biometric authentication technology due to the problem of revocation. However, another problem is that biometric information cannot be modified once it is leaked. Recently, with the advent of blockchain technology, research on user authentication methods has actively progressed. In this paper, both public certificate and blockchain-based user authentication can be used without system change, and a new DID issuance and reissuance method that can replace the resident registration number is presented. The proposed system can be used without restrictions in a blockchain. However, the currently used DID requires installation of an application at the Interworking Support Center for verification. Since a DID can be authenticated without registering as a member, indiscriminate information collection can be prevented. Security, convenience, and determinism are compared with the existing system, and excellence is proven based on various attack methods, its portability, and proxy use.

모자이크는 여러 개의 작은 영상들을 모아서 하나의 큰 영상을 만드는 것을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 모자이크 방법 중 하나인 사진을 이용하여 영상을 만드는 포토 모자이크 방법을 컴퓨터 알고리즘으로 구현하는 기술 제안을 한다. 이미지를 원하는 사이즈의 타일로 나눈 다음, 나눠진 타일을 16등분을 한다. 16등분된 이미지 각 요소들에 대하여 RGB 평균값을 계산하여 총 48개 특징값을 추출하여 데이터베이스에 저장해둔다. 그리고 타일과 비교가 될 이미지들은 이미 똑같은 작업을 통하여 데이터베이스에 저장이 되어 있다. 이렇게 저장된 값들을 통하여 유클리드 거리를 통하여 두 이미지의 유사도를 측정하게 된다. 최적의 값을 찾으면 바로 대입하는 것이 아니라 이전에 있던 타일 이미지의 명암값을 새로 삽입되는 타일에 부여를 하여, 부드러운 영상을 만들게 된다. 그리고 타일을 삽입할 때 이전에 사용된 이미지는 배열의 마지막으로 옮겨지게 되며 사용횟수를 체크하여 반복적 사용을 제한하였다.
