Stream servers are for supplying multimedia stream data to users through the internet such as movies and musics without discontinuation. A typical stream server is designed roughly by considering the characteristics of stream services and by employing processors, memory, PCI bus, Ethernet, TOE and disks. This study focuses on deciding the priority for using resources such as PCI bus, buffer memory and TOE buffer, which have limited capacities in a typical stream server. The simulation study shows that the top priority for using PCI bus for normal streaming services should be given to the operation that sends data from buffer memory to TOE buffer Giving priority for using PCI bus to other operation such as sending data from disks to memory results in deadlock Phenomenon.

We investigated the structural and electrical properties of BLT films grown on Si covered with $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer. The BLT thin film and $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer were fabricated using a metalorganic decomposition method. The electrical properties of the MFIS structure were investigated by varying thickness of the $ZrO_{2}$ layer. AES and TEM show no interdiffusion and reaction that suppressed using the $ZrO_{2}$ film as a buffer layer The width of the memory window in the C-V curves for the MFIS structure decreased with increasing thickness of the $ZrO_{2}$ layer. It is considered that the memory window width of MFIS is not affected by remanent polarization. Leakage current density decreased by about four orders of magnitude after using $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layer. The results show that the $ZrO_{2}$ buffer layers are prospective candidates for applications in MFIS-FET memory devices.

As we know the effects of cache memory research, instruction and data caches can be separated for higher performance with Harvard CPUs. In this paper, we shows the efficiency of buffer system in the instruction and data flash storage medium. And we analyzed characteristics of the data and instruction flash and evaluated the performance. Finally, we propose the best buffer structure with an optimal block size and buffer size for the instruction and data flash.

최근 NAND 플래시 메모리는 충격에 강한 내구력과, 저 전력 소비, 그리고 비휘발성이라는 특징 때문에 MP3 플레이어, 모바일 폰, 노트북과 같은 다양한 이동 컴퓨팅 장비의 저장 장치로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 플래시 메모리의 특수한 하드웨어적 특징 때문에 디스크 기반의 시스템을 플래시 메모리상에 곧바로 적용 하는 것은 여러 단점들을 발생 시킬 수 있다. 특히 B트리가 구축될 때 레코드의 삽입, 삭제연산 및 노드 분할 연산은 많은 중첩쓰기 연산을 발생하기 때문에 플래시 메모리의 성능을 심각하게 저하시킬 것이다. 본 논문에서는 IBSF로 불리는 효율적인 버퍼 관리 기법을 제안한다. 이것은 색인 단위에서 중복된 색인 단위를 제거하여 버퍼가 채워지는 시간을 지연시키기 때문에 B트리를 구축할 때 플래시 메모리에 데이터를 쓰는 횟수를 줄인다. 또한 다양한 실험을 통하여 IBSF 기법이 기존에 제안되었던 BFTL 기법보다 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 증명한다.

Many studies on flash memory-based buffer replacement algorithms that consider the characteristics of flash memory have recently been developed. Conventional flash memory-based buffer replacement algorithms have the disadvantage that the operation speed slows down, because only the reference is checked when selecting a replacement target page and either the reference count is not considered, or when the reference time is considered, the elapsed time is considered. Therefore, this paper seeks to solve the problem of conventional flash memory-based buffer replacement algorithm by dividing pages into groups and considering the reference frequency and reference time when selecting the replacement target page. In addition, because flash memory has a limited lifespan, candidates for replacement pages are selected based on the number of deletions.

본 논문에서는 네트워크 통신에서 혼잡으로 인한 패킷의 손실을 최소화하기 위하여 새로운 버퍼 모델인 적응적인 이중 버퍼 모델을 제안한다. 이는 제약된 메모리 환경에서 송수신 버퍼가 서로의 여유 공간을 공유하여 패킷의 손실을 최대한 줄일 수 있는 버퍼 모델이다. 또한 리스트와 비슷한 성능을 지니는 본 버퍼 모델은 자유 리스트를 사용한 버퍼와 달리 메모리 누수로 인한 버블(bubbles) 현상을 방지하므로 제한된 환경의 네트워크 버퍼에 적용할 수 있으며 배열을 사용하는 경우와 비교 할 때 최대 100% 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

IT 산업 환경에서 모바일 데이터의 수요 증가로 인해 NAND 플래시 메모리의 사용이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 플래시 메모리의 소거 동작은 긴 대기 시간과 높은 소비 전력을 요구하여 각 셀의 수명을 제한한다. 따라서 쓰기와 삭제 작업을 자주 수행하면 플래시 메모리의 성능과 수명이 단축된다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 디스크 버퍼를 이용, 플래시 메모리에 할당되는 쓰기 및 지우기 연산을 감소시켜 플래시 메모리의 성능을 향상시키는 기술이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 쓰기 횟수를 최소화하기 위한 CPWL 기법을 제안한다. CPWL 기법은 버퍼 메모리 액세스 패턴에 따라 읽기 및 쓰기 페이지를 나누어 관리한다. 이렇게 나뉜 페이지를 정렬하여 쓰기 횟수를 줄이고 결과적으로 플래시 메모리의 수명을 늘리고 에너지 소비를 감소시킨다.

NAND flash memories have the advantages of fast access speed, high density and low power consumption, thus they have increasing demand in embedded system and mobile environment. Despite the low power and fast speed gains of NAND flash memory, DRAM disk buffers were used because of the performance load and limited durability of NAND flash cell. However, DRAM disk buffers are not suitable for limited energy environments due to their high static energy consumption. In this paper, we propose WAP-LRU (Write pattern Analysis based Placement by LRU) hybrid disk buffer management policy. Our policy designates the buffer location in the hybrid memory by analyzing write pattern of the workloads to check the continuity of the page operations. In our simulation, WAP-LRU increased the lifetime of NAND flash memory by reducing the number of garbage collections by 63.1% on average. In addition, energy consumption is reduced by an average of 53.4% compared to DRAM disk buffers.

Flash memory has become the most important storage media in mobile devices along with its attractive features such as low power consumption, small size, light weight, and shock resistance. However, a flash memory can not be written before erased because of its erase-before-write characteristic, which lead to some garbage collection when there is not enough space to use. In this paper, we propose a novel garbage collection scheme, called block-level buffer garbage collection. When it is need to do merge operation during garbage collection, the proposed scheme does not merge the data block and corresponding log block but also search the block-level buffer to find the corresponding block which will be written to flash memory in the next future, and then decide whether merge it in advance or not. Our experimental results show that the proposed technique improves the flash performance up to 4.6% by reducing the unnecessary block erase numbers and page copy numbers.

In this paper we have designed and implemented a method of using extended memory and hard disk space as a data buffer for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. We use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows some speed improvement for the application program. We have also implemented a number of functions to allow easier handling of pointer operations used by application programs.
