NAND flash memory-based SSD needs an internal software, Flash Translation Layer(FTL) to provide traditional block device interface to the host because of its physical constraints, such as erase-before-write and large erase block. However, because useful host-side information cannot be delivered to FTL through the narrow block device interface, SSDs suffer from a variety of problems such as increasing garbage collection overhead, large tail-latency, and unpredictable I/O latency. Otherwise, the new type of SSD, open-channel SSD exposes the internal structure of SSD to the host so that underlying NAND flash memory can be managed directly by the host-level FTL. Especially, I/O data classification by using host-side information can achieve the reduction of garbage collection overhead. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to reduce garbage collection overhead of open-channel SSD by separating the journal from other file data for the journaling filesystem. Because journal has different lifespan with other file data, the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) caused by garbage collection can be reduced. The proposed scheme is implemented by modifying the host-level FTL of Linux and evaluated with both Fio and Filebench. According to the experiment results, the proposed scheme improves I/O performance by 46%~50% while reducing the WAF of open-channel SSDs by more than 33% compared to the previous one.

In cluster computers, it is essential to Implement the single I/O space(SIOS) supporting integrated I/O substructure to efficiently process I/O intensive applications. SIOS service provides with global I/O address space to directly access peripherals and hard disks in its own or remote nodes from any node in the cluster computer In this thesis, we propose the implementation method of SIOS in Linux clusters by using only freewares. This method is implemented at device driver level that uses Enhanced Network Block Device(ENBD) and file system level that uses S/W RAID and NFS. The major strengths of this method are easiness of implementation and almost no cost due to using freewares. In addition, since freewares used are open sources, it is possible to apply this method to other platforms with only slight modification. Moreover, experiments show that I/O throughputs are up to 5.5 times higher in write operations and approximately 2.3 times higher in read operations than those of CDD method that uses the device driver developed at kernel level.

Micelle formation and adsorption at the $Ti0_{2}$ interface of a series of polystyrene-polythylene oxide(PS-PEO) block copolymer in aqueous solution was studied using fluorescence probing and small-angle X-ray methods. Further, the stability of aqueous $Ti0_{2}$ dispersion in the presence of copolymer was investigated by microelectrophoresis, optical density and sedimentation measurements. The dissolution of pyrene as fluorescent probe in aqueous surfactant solution leads to a slow decrease of the $I_{1}/I_{3}$ ratio, as the copolymer concentration increase; $I_{1}$ and $I_{3}$ are respectively the intensities of the first and third vibrionic peaks in the pyrene fluorescence emission. The behaviour was due to the characteristics of the copolymers and/or to the copolymer association efficiency in water. Moreover, the adsorption at the plateau level increases with decreasing PEO until chain length. The zeta potential of $TiO_{2}$ particles decreases with increasing copolymer concentration and reaches a plateau value. Finally, stabilization using block copolymers was more effective with samples having higher weight fractions of PS block.

Virtualization technique of OS-level is a new paradigm for deploying applications, and is attracting attention as a technology to replace traditional virtualization technique, VM (Virtual Machine). Especially, docker containers are capable of distributing application images faster and more efficient than before by applying layered image structures and union mount point to existing linux container. These characteristics of containers can only be used in layered file systems that support snapshot functionality, so it is required to select appropriate layered file systems according to the characteristics of the containerized application. We examine the characteristics of representative layered file systems and conduct write performance evaluations of each layered file systems according to the operating principles of the layered file system, Allocate-on-Demand and Copy-up. We also suggest the method of determining a appropriate layered file system principle for unknown containerized application by learning block I/O usage history of each layered file system principles in artificial neural network. Finally we validate effectiveness of artificial neural network created from block I/O history of each layered file system principles.

Most of iodine was captured by the block when NaI solution flowed through a bentonite block sorbed silver to retard the migration of iodine released from high-level radioactive wastes. In order to understand in detail the mechanism for the retardation of the iodine by the silver ion, X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectra of the silver sorbed bentonite before and after the contact with iodide were compared with those of AgO, $Ag_2O$ and AgI as references. This examination suggests that the silver ion sorbed on the bentonite is desorbed, and then it retards the migration of iodine by forming the cluster of AgI precipitate.

A hard disk, which can be classified as an external storage is usually capacious and economical. In spite of the attractive characteristics and efforts on the performance improvement, however, the operation of the hard disk is apparently slower than a processor and the advancement has also been slowly conducted since it is based on mechanical process. On the other hand, the advancement of the processor has been drastically performed as semiconductor technology does. So, disk I/O sub-system becomes bottleneck of computer systems' performance. For this reason, the research on disk I/O sub-system is in progress to improve computer systems' performance. In this paper, we proposed multi-level LRU scheme and then apply it to the computer systems with buffer cache and disk cache. By applying the proposed scheme to computer systems, the average access time to disk blocks can be decreased. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was verified by simulation results.

The paper proposes an efficient buffer management scheme to enhance performance of the disk I/O system. Without any user level information, the proposed scheme automatically detects the block reference patterns of applications by associating block attributes with forward distance of a block. Based on the detected patterns, the scheme applies an appropriate replacement policy to each application. We also present a new block allocation scheme to improve the performance of buffer cache when kernel needs to allocate a cache block due to a cache miss. The allocation scheme analyzes the cache hit ratio of each application based on block reference patterns and allocates a cache block to maximize cache hit ratios of system. These all procedures are performed on-line, as well as automatically at system level. We evaluate the scheme by trace-driven simulation. Experimental results show that our scheme leads to significant improvements in hit ratios of cache blocks compared to the traditional schemes and requires low overhead.
