Although NAND flash-based SSD (Solid-State Drive) provides superior performance in comparison to HDD (Hard Disk Drive), it has a major drawback in write endurance. As a result, the lifetime of SSD is determined by the workload and thus it becomes a big challenge in current technology trend of such as the shifting from SLC (Single Level Cell) to MLC (Multi Level cell) and even TLC (Triple Level Cell). Most previous studies have dealt with wear-leveling or improving SSD lifetime regarding hardware architecture. In this paper, we propose the optimal configuration of host I/O stack focusing on file system, I/O scheduler, and link power management using JEDEC enterprise workloads in terms of WAF (Write Amplification Factor) which represents the efficiency perspective of SSD life time especially for host write processing into flash memory. Experimental analysis shows that the optimum configuration of I/O stack for the perspective of SSD lifetime is MinPower-Dead-XFS which prolongs the lifetime of SSD approximately 2.6 times in comparison with MaxPower-Cfq-Ext4, the best performance combination. Though the performance was reduced by 13%, this contributions demonstrates a considerable aspect of SSD lifetime in relation to I/O stack optimization.

사용자 프로그램의 I/O 패턴을 분석하거나 파일 시스템의 워크로드를 보다 정확하게 분석하기 위해서 실제 가동중인 파일 시스템의 동적 I/O 로그를 확보하기 위한 연구들이 많이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 대량의 I/O 트렌젝션(transcation)이 처리되는 파일 시스템에서 동적 I/O 로그를 확보하는 일은 시스템의 부하와 막대한 데이터량 때문에 한계가 많다. 특히 다수의 이용자가 사용하는 대용량 분산/병렬 파일 시스템에서의 I/O Tracing은 로컬 파일 시스템에서 I/O Tracing에 비해 더욱 복잡하고 오버헤드가 크다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 파일 시스템 로깅 방법들을 알아보고, 클러스터 시스템에서 널리 이용되고 있는 분산 파일 시스템인 PVFS(Parallel Virtual File System)에서 동적 I/O 연산들의 로그를 생성할 수 있는 로깅 시스템을 제안하고 설계하였다.

This paper analyzes the host cache effectiveness in full virtualization, particularly associated with journaling of guests. We observe that the journal access of guests degrades cache performance significantly due to the write-once access pattern and the frequent sync operations. To remedy this problem, we design and implement a novel caching policy, called PDC (Pollution Defensive Caching), that detects the journal accesses and prevents them from entering the host cache. The proposed PDC is implemented in QEMU-KVM 2.1 on Linux 4.14 and provides 3-32% performance improvement for various file and I/O benchmarks.

With the upcoming era of internet of things, the study of sensor network has been paid attention. Raspberry pi is a tiny versatile computer system which is able to act as a sensor node in hadoop cluster network. In this paper, we deployed 5 Raspberry pi's to construct an experimental testbed of hadoop sensor network with 5-node map-reduce hadoop software framework. We compared and analyzed the network architecture in terms of efficiency, resource management, and throughput using various parameters. We used a learning machine with support vector machine as test workload. In our experiments, Raspberry pi fulfilled the role of distributed computing sensor node in the sensor network.

In this paper, we propose a general-purpose fault injection system for Linux loadable kernel modules. The fault injection system enables software developers and testers to inject various kinds of faults easily into user-specified kernel modules in user-controlled manner. The proposed system also provides workload generation in order to make injected faults be exposed effectively, By experiments, we show that the fault injection system correctly injects faults into Linux kernel modules. The proposed system can be utilized as a useful tool for testing during kernel module development It is also useful for studies on kernel behaviour analysis and fault isolation and recovery.

전통적으로 기초 과학 분야의 대규모 워크로드 작업들은 슈퍼컴퓨터와 같은 대용량 클러스터 시스템을 이용하여 수행해왔다. 그러나 최근 빅데이터 및 머신 러닝과 같은 새로운 분야에서의 컴퓨팅 자원 요구가 증가하고 기존 사용자의 요구 사항도 다양해짐에 따라 기존의 클러스터 시스템 운영 환경에서는 많은 어려움이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)에서는 지난 3 월부터 KI (KISTI Intelligent) Cloud 서비스를 개발하여 서비스를 제공하고 있다. KI Cloud 서비스는 다음과 같은 특징이 있다. 첫째, Jupyter 과 RStudio 와 같은 대화형 개발 환경을 웹을 통해 제공함으로써 사용자는 언제, 어디서나 손쉽게 서비스를 활용할 수 있다. 둘째, 컨테이너 기술을 활용하여 사용자가 요구하는 개발 및 실행 환경을 실시간으로 구성하여 제공한다. 셋째, 사용자의 서비스 환경을 동적으로 구성하여 제공함으로써 컴퓨팅 자원의 효율성을 높일 수 있다.

광대역 액세스 망은 B-ISDN 환경에서 다양한 유형의 가입자들을 서비스 노드로 집선하는 기능을 수행한다. ITU-T의 SG13에서는 광대역 액세스 망과 서비스 노드 사이에서 ATM 자원의 동적인 할당 및 해제를 위하여 연결 제어 프로토콜의 표준화를 수행하고 있다. ATM 연결의 설정을 위한 연결 제어 프로토콜과 신호 프로토콜의 연동 기능은 서비스 노드에서 수행되며, ITU-T에서는 순차적 연동 모델을 채택하고 있다. 순차적 연동 모델은 SN에서 각 프로토콜의 절차가 순차적 방식으로 연동되므로 연결 지연이 크다. 본 논문에서는 광대역 액세스 망의 도입으로 인한 연결 설정 지연을 최소화하기 위하여 병렬형으로 수행되는 연동 모델을 제시하였다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제안한 병렬형 연동 모델의 성능 분석을 통하여 순차적 연동 모델과의 연결 설정 지연 및 완료비에 대한 비교, 분석을 수행하였다. 성능 분석에서 사용된 워크로드 파라미터는 RACE MAGIC 프로젝트의 결과를 적용하였다. Abstract In B-ISDN environment, various subscribers are concentrated into a service node via a broadband access network. The SG13 of ITU-T is standardizing a connection control protocol which provides dynamic allocation of ATM resources between an access network and a service node. To establish an ATM connection, interworking functions between the connection control protocol and the signaling protocol are performed at the service node. ITU-T adopts the sequential interworking model. In this paper, we propose the parallel interworking model which minimizes the overall connection setup delay by introducing the access network. Using the performance analysis, we compare our proposed parallel model with the existing sequential model in terms of connection setup delay and completion ratio. The workload parameters of RACE MAGIC project are applied to the analysis and simulation.

With the changes in the modern computing landscape, securing containerized workloads and addressing the complexities of container networking have become critical issues. In particular, the complexity of network policy settings and the lack of cloud security architecture cause various security issues. This paper focuses on the importance of network security and efficiency in containerized environments, and analyzes the security features and performance of various container network interface plugins. In particular, the features and functions of Cilium, Calico, Weave Net, and Kube-router were compared and evaluated, and the Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 network policies and performance features provided by each plugin were analyzed. We found that Cilium and Calico provide a wide range of security features, including Layer 7 protocols, while Weave Net and Kube-router focus on Layer 3/4. We also found a decrease in throughput when applying Layer 3/4 policies and an increase in latency due to complex processing when applying Layer 7 policies. Through this analysis, we expect to improve our understanding of network policy and security configuration and contribute to building a safer and more efficient container networking environment in the future.

Recently, there is a growing interest in promoting safe and convenient roadway and traffic conditions for elderly drivers. This paper analyzed the driving characteristics, self recognition, and any inconvenience of elderly drivers over age 65 through an extensive survey, and drew some action plans to improve the driving conditions for elderly drivers. Survey results showed that the major trip purposes of the elderly driver were found to be commuting(50%) and business(33%), and this pattern was similar to the general drivers. The elderly drivers are interested in "safety", but "brand recognition" was the more important factor for the general drivers in the process of vehicle selection. The elderly drivers had no technical skill difference in driving as compared to the general drivers, but they fully recognized the physical deterioration such as reaction time and sight distance. In addition, the elderly drivers had a tendency to feel psychological contraction as to high workload driving conditions, thus it was necessary to make safe driving conditions by improving the design elements of traffic control devices on the roadways including visibility.

Recently, the demand for high performance non-volatile memory storage devices that can replace existing hard disks has been increasing in environments requiring high performance computing such as data-centers and social network services. The performance of such non-volatile memory can greatly depend on the interface between the host and the storage device. With the evolution of storage interfaces, the non-volatile memory express (NVMe) interface has emerged, which can replace serial attached SCSI and serial ATA (SAS/SATA) interfaces based on existing hard disks. The NVMe interface has a higher level of scalability and provides lower latency than traditional interfaces. In this paper, an evaluation and analysis are conducted of the performance of NVMe storage devices through various workloads. We also compare and evaluate the cost efficiency of NVMe SSD and SATA SSD.
