In this paper, we propose to solve the problem of increasing system memory usage due to an increase in the number of mapping information management when using a NAND flash memory-based storage device in an existing sector-based file system. The proposed technique is to store only mapping information in page units based on index blocks and manage them in block units. To this end, the proposed technique uses a sequential offset for storing and managing a plurality of mapping information in one page in a small block, and a reverse offset for a spare page corresponding to a change in mapping information in the block. Through this, the proposed technique has the advantage that the number of block-unit deletions is less than that of the existing technique, and the system memory usage required for mapping information management is low. Reduced by about 32%.

SSD is a storage device of having high-performance controller and cache buffer and consists of many NAND flash memories. Because NAND flash memory does not support in-place update, valid pages are invalidated when update and erase operations are issued in file system and then invalid pages are completely deleted via garbage collection. However, garbage collection performs many erase operations of long latency and then it reduces I/O performance and increases wear leveling in SSD. In this paper, we propose a new method of de-duplicating valid data and recycling invalid data. The method de-duplicates valid data and then recycles invalid data so that it improves de-duplication ratio. Due to reducing number of writes and garbage collection, the method could increase I/O performance and decrease wear leveling in SSD. Experimental result shows that it can reduce maximum 20% number of garbage collections and 9% I/O latency than those of general case.

Due to advantages of NAND flash memory such as non-volatility, low access latency, low energy consumption, light weight, small size and shock resistance, it has become a better alternative over traditional magnetic disk drives, and has been widely used. Traditional DBMSs including mobile DBMSs may run on flash memory without any modification by using Flash Translation Layer (FTL), which emulates a random access block device to hide the characteristics of flash memory such as "erase-before-update". However, most existing FTLs are optimized for file systems, not for DBMSs, and traditional DBMSs are not aware of them. Also, traditional DBMSs do not consider the characteristics of flash memory. In this paper, we propose a flash-conscious storage system for DBMSs that utilizes flash memory as a main storage medium, and carefully put the characteristics of flash memory into considerations. The proposed flash-conscious storage system exploits log records to avoid costly update operations. It is shown that the proposed storage system outperforms the state.

Free viewpoint image synthesis technology is one of the important technologies in the MPEG-I (Immersive) standard. RVS (Reference View Synthesizer) developed by MPEG-I and in use in MPEG group is a DIBR (Depth Information-Based Rendering) program that generates an image at a virtual (intermediate) viewpoint from multiple viewpoints' inputs. RVS uses the mesh surface method based on computer graphics, and outperforms the pixel-based ones by 2.5dB or more compared to the previous pixel method. Even though its OpenGL version provides 10 times speed up over the non OpenGL based one, it still shows a non-real-time processing speed, i.e., 0.75 fps on the two 2k resolution input images. In this paper, we analyze the internal of RVS implementation and modify its structure, achieving 34 times speed up, therefore, real-time performance (22-26 fps), through the 3 key improvements: 1) the reuse of OpenGL buffers and texture objects 2) the parallelization of file I/O and OpenGL execution 3) the parallelization of GPU shader program and buffer transfer.

We propose a new way of managing flash memory space for flash memory-specific file system based on log-structured file system. Flash memory has attractive features such as non-volatility, and fast I/O speed, but it also suffers from inability to update in place and limited usage cycles. These drawbacks require many changes to conventional storage (file) management techniques. Our focus is on lowering cleaning cost and evenly utilizing flash memory cells while maintaining a balance between the two often-conflicting goals. The proposed cleaning method performs well especially when storage utilization and the degree of locality are high. The cleaning efficiency is enhanced by dynamically separating cold data and non-cold data. The second goal, cycle-leveling is achieved to the degree where the maximum difference between erase cycles is below the error range of the hardware. Simulation results show that the proposed method has significant benefit over naxve methods: maximum of 35% reduction in cleaning cost with even spreading writes across segments.

When building a testing environment with a testing platform, the configuration of test executor and its interface should be built to be appropriate for the system under test (SUT). That is, it is necessary to build the test executor and interface environment that can properly handle the input and output signals of SUT. If the testing platform is not extendable, it should be modified significantly whenever new SUTs and models are tested. It is a serious drawback that the test executor and interface configuration need to be modified depending on testing targets. To overcome the drawback, this paper proposes TEM(test Execution Machine), which allows for test executor to reconfigure its environment suitable to new SUTs by modifying the configuration file. The proposed TEM is verified through testing two real systems.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is a new design approach, which aims to reduce the design cycle and the development cost, while improving the performance of the product. In order to develop a framework software where the multidisciplinary design is possible, several methods about the analysis codes integration, the analysis and optimization process management, and the software architecture, are proposed in this study. Centralized DataBase Management System (DBMS) is adopted. Both the Dynamic Link Library(DLL) and the File Interface are suggested and implemented as analysis codes integration methods. To efficiently manage the optimization process and the data flow, the Graphic Programming approach is introduced. The proposed integration methods are verified by two test case examples: Simple house design example and the aircraft wing design problem using three dimensional Panel Code.

I/O processing speed of relatively sluggish storage devices incurs overall performance degradation in computer systems. As a solution to improve the situation, SAN(Storage Area Network) has been proposed. In order to utilize a SAN system more effectively, where storage devices are directly connected with a high speed network such as Fibre Channel, a proper management tool is needed. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a performance monitoring and configuration management tool for the SANtopia system which supports global file sharing in the SAN environment The developed tool is to monitor the performance of the Linux hosts composing the SANtopia system and to manage the configuration of the hosts and storage devices. It also supports GUI(Graphic User Interface) environment using the JAVA programming language.

컴퓨터를 이용한 모의 실험 방법은 과학 및 공학 분야뿐만 아니라 경제,사회 현상등에도 널리 적용될 수 있는 유용한 도구이다. 그 중에서도 연속체계 모의 실험은 미분 방정식으로 모델링되는 시스템을 대상으로 하는 경우가 맡으며, 이를 위하여 그동안 맡은 연속체계 모의 실험 언어들이 개발되었다. 그러나 그들은 대부분 사용하기가 복잡하여 사용자 편의성을 고려한 모의 실험 언어에 대한 필요성이 증대되었다. 본 연구에서는 사용자에개 최대한 편의성을 제공하는 연속체계 모의 실험 언어인 PCSL (Postech Continuous-system Simulation language)을 개발하였다. PCSL 프로그램은 프로그램 헤더, 상수 정의부, 함수 정의부, 매개 변수 정의부, 초기화 선언부, 모델 정의부, 종료 조건 선언부, 출력 선언부 등으로 나누어 진다. 그리고 출력으로는 계산 결과를 파일에 저장, 흑은 수치로 인쇄하거나 그래프로 그려서 보여준다. PCSL 처리 시스템은 모델 정의부에서 주어진 미분방정식을 해석해서 digital-analog simulation 기법으로 풀 수 있는 형태로 변환하는 번역기와 이렇게 변환된 형태의 미분방정식과 여러 가지 조건들을 고려해서 C 프로그램을 생성해주는 생성기, 생성된 C 프로그램을 실행시켜서 그 결과를 얻는 실행기,그리고 사용자에게 편리한 입출력 방법을 제공하는 사용자 인터페이스로 구성된다. 번역기에서는 모델로 주어진 미분방정식의 종류를 결정한 후에 이들을 digital-analog simulation 기법으로 풀 수 있는 형태로 변환한다. 생성기에서는 번역기의 결과를 받고,프로그램 상의 여러 가지 조건들을 고려해서 C 프로그램을 생성한다. 여기서 생성된 C프로그램은 미분방정식을 포함하는 ‘f.c'와 조건들을 포함하는'main.h', 그리고 digital-analog simulation 기법을 이용하는 모의 실험 알고리즘을 구현한 'main.c'로 구성된다. 그리고 실행기에서는 생성기에서 생성한 C 프로그램을 실행시켜서 결과를 얻는다. 여기에서 필요로 하는 PCSL 프로그램의 내응은 종료 조건 선언부, 출력 선언부 등이다. 마지막으로 사용자 인터페이스는 사용자가 간편하게 PCSL 프로그램을 입력할 수 있게 도와주며 모의 실험 결과를 쉽게 화면상에 보여주기 위한 것이다. 이 때에 사용자가 원하면 계산 결과를 그래프로 그려서 보여주는 기능과 화면에 보이는 결과를 프린터로 출력할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 실형 결과로는 먼저 선형 상미분방정식의 예로 mass-damper-spring system, 비선형 상미분방정식의 예로는 van der Pol 방정식, 연립 상미분방정식의 예로는 mixing tank problem 등을 보였으며, 그의 공학에서 일어나는 여러 가지 문제들도 다루었다.
