The practical constraints on the commercial FPGAs which contain dedicated wide function multiplexers in their slice structure are incorporated with one of the most advanced FPGA mapping algorithms based on the AIG (And-Inverter Graph), one of the best logic representations in academia. As the first step of the mapping process, cuts are enumerated as intermediate structures. And then, the cuts which can be mapped to the multiplexers are recognized. Without any increased complexity, the delay and area of multiplexers as well as LUTs are calculated after checking the requirements for the tree construction such as symmetry and depth limit against dynamically changing mapping of neighboring nodes. Besides, the root positions of multiplexer trees are identified from the RTL code, and annotated to the AIG as AOs (Auxiliary Outputs). A new AIG embedding the multiplexer tree structures which are intentionally synthesized by Shannon expansion at the AOs, is overlapped with the optimized AIG. The lossless synthesis technique which employs FRAIG (Functionally Reduced AIG) is applied to this approach. The proposed approach and techniques are validated by implementing and applying them to two RISC processor examples, which yielded 13~30% area reduction, and up to 32% delay reduction. The research will be extended to take into account the constraints on the dedicated hardware for carry chains.

In this paper, we propose an extended TB-tree, called ETB-tree, which can improve the performance of an existing TB-tree proposed for indexing the trajectories of moving objects in Location-Based Service(LBS). The proposed ETB-tree directly accesses the preceding node by maintaining a direct table, called D-Table which contains the page number in disk and memory pointers pointing the leaf node with the first and last lines segment of moving objects. It can improve the insertion performance by quick searching the preceding node of a moving object and retrieval performance owing to accessing directly the corresponding trajectories In disk for the trajectory-based query. In addition, the ETB-tree provides consistency of a tree by reflecting a newly inserted line segment to the tree both in memory and disk. The experimental results show that the proposed indexing technique gains better performance than other traditional ones with respect to the insertion and retrieval of a trajectory query.

In this thesis, To provide the base of effective data access methods, performance of some indexing techniques used gent-Tally are compared. They are classified as primary key and multikey. For primary key method, made a comparative analysis on Static index. Dynamic index and Hashing. For multikey indexing method K-d tree, K-d-B tree, Inverted file and Grid file of which characteristics are compared. In many applications, multikey indexings are more requested, but are not supplied enough. So, to satisfy users' request - more fast, more exact and to be applied according to the trend of being huge database systems, it is requested more study about multikey data access methods.

In wireless and mobile environments, data broadcasting is recognized as an effective way for data dissemination due to its benefits to bandwidth efficiency, energy-efficiency, and scalability. In this paper, we address the problem of delayed query processing raised by tree-based index structures in wireless broadcast environments, which increases the access time of the mobile clients. We propose a novel distributed index structure and a clustering strategy for streaming XML data which enable energy and latency-efficient broadcast of XML data. We first define the DIX node structure to implement a fully distributed index structure which contains tag name, attributes, and text content of an element as well as its corresponding indices. By exploiting the index information in the DIX node stream, a mobile client can access the wireless stream in a shorter latency. We also suggest a method of clustering DIX nodes in the stream, which can further enhance the performance of query processing over the stream in the mobile clients. Through extensive performance experiments, we demonstrate that our approach is effective for wireless broadcasting of XML data and outperforms the previous methods.

In order to provide new value-added services such as a policy-based routing and the quality of services in next generation network, the Internet routers need to classify packets into flows for different treatments, and it is called a packet classification. Since the packet classification should be performed in wire-speed for every packet incoming in several hundred giga-bits per second, the packet classification becomes a bottleneck in the Internet routers. Therefore, high speed packet classification algorithms are required. In this paper, we propose an efficient packet classification architecture based on a hierarchical binary search fee. The proposed architecture hierarchically connects the binary search tree which does not have empty nodes, and hence the proposed architecture reduces the memory requirement and improves the search performance.

Recently, main memory access is a performance bottleneck for many computer applications. Cache memory is introduced in order to reduce memory access latency. However, it is possible for cache memory to reduce memory access latency, when desired data are located on cache. EST tree is proposed to solve this problem by improving T tree. However, when doing a range search, EST tree has to search unnecessary nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes $CST^+$ tree which has the merit of CST tree and is possible to do a range search by linking data nodes with linked lists. By experiments, we show that $CST^+$ is $4{\sim}10$ times as fast as CST and $CSB^+$. In addition, rebuilding an index Is an essential step for the database recovery from system failure. In this paper, we propose a fast tree index rebuilding algorithm called MaxPL. MaxPL has no node-split overhead and employs a parallelism for reading the data records and inserting the keys into the index. We show that MaxPL is $2{\sim}11$ times as fast as sequential insert and batch insert.

Recently, much attention has been focused on video databases. Video documents also have a hierarchical logical structure like text documents. By exploiting this structure using structure queries, users can obtain greater benefits than by using only content queries. In order to process structure queries efficiently, an index structure supporting fast video element access must be provided. However, there has been little attention to the index structure for video documents. In this paper, we present a tree-structured video document model and a new inverted index structure for video documents. We evaluate the storage requirement and the disk access time of the scheme and present the analytical results.

To minimize restructuring cost of a tree, experiments were conducted to collect quantitative information of searching efficiencies varying degrees of imbalance in a binary search tree. Degrees of tree imbalance were measured by a balance factor, an absolute value of height difference of left subtree and right subtree in a binary search tree. The average number of comparisons increased (p＜0.01), and searching efficiency of O(n) was more appropriate rather than O(logn), as degrees of imbalance in a binary search tree deteriorated. However, there were no significant differences of searching efficiencies in height balanced trees and trees with subtrees to have height 3 less than the other (p＞0.05). Therefore, the findings would be applicable to maintain searching efficiency of a software with a binary search tree.

For recent decades, Non-volatile Memory (NVM) technologies have been drawing a high attention both in industry and academia due to its high density and short latency comparable to that of DRAM. However, NVM devices has write endurance problem and thus the current data structures that have been built around DRAM-specific features including unlimited program cycles is inadequate for NVM, reducing the device lifetime significantly. In this paper, we revisit a red-black tree extensively adopted for data indexing across a wide range of applications, and make it to better fit for NVM. Specifically, we observe that the conventional red-black tree wears out the specific location of memory because of its rebalancing operation to ensure fast access time over a whole dataset. However, this rebalancing operation frequently updates the long-lived nodes, which leads to the skewed wear out across the NVM cells. To resolve this problem, we present a new swapping wear-leveling red-black tree that periodically moves data in the worn-out node into the young node. The performance study with real-world traces demonstrates the proposed red-black tree reduces the standard deviation of the write count across nodes by up to 12.5%.

Recently, with the rapid development of location-based techniques, index structures to efficiently manage moving objects have been required. In this paper, we propose a new spatio-temporal index structure that supports a future position retrieval and minimizes a update cost. The proposed index structure combines an assistant index structure that directly accesses current positions of moving objects with KDB-tree that is a space partitioning access method. The internal node in our proposed index structure keeps time parameters in order to support the future position retrieval and to minimize a update cost. Moreover, we propose new update and split methods to maximize the space utilization and the search performance. We perform various experiments to show that our proposed index structure outperforms the existing index structure.
