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.

In this paper, we propose the data cache architecture with a write buffer for a 32bit asynchronous embedded processor. The data cache consists of CAM and data memory. It accelerates data up lood cycle between the processor and the main memory that improves processor performance. The proposed data cache has 8 KB cache memory. The cache uses the 4-way set associative mapping with line size of 4 words (16 bytes) and pseudo LRU replacement algorithm for data replacement in the memory. Dirty register and write buffer is used for write policy of the cache. The designed data cache is synthesized to a gate level design using $0.13-{\mu}m$ process. Its average hit rate is 94%. And the system performance has been improved by 46.53%. The proposed data cache with write buffer is very suitable for a 32-bit asynchronous processor.

최근 처리기와 입출력 시스템의 속도 차이가 점점 커짐에 따라 버퍼 캐쉬의 효율적인 관리가 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 버퍼 캐쉬는 블록 교체 정책과 선반입 정책에 의해 관리되며, 각 정책은 버퍼 캐쉬에서 블록의 가치 즉 어떤 블록이 더 가까운 미래에 참조될 것인가를 결정해야 한다. 블록의 가치는 응용들의 블록 참조 패턴의 특성에 기반하며, 블록 참조 패턴의 특성에 대한 정확한 분석은 올바른 결정을 가능하게 하여 버퍼 캐쉬의 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문은 각 응용들의 블록 참조 패턴에 대한 특성을 분석하고 이를 자동으로 발견하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 블록의 속성과 미래 참조 거리간의 관계를 이용해 블록 참조 패턴을 발견한다. 이 기법은 2 단계 파이프라인 방법을 이용하여 온라인으로 참조 패턴을 발견할 수 있으며, 참조 패턴의 변화가 발생하면 이를 인식할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 8개의 실제 응용 트레이스를 이용해 블록 참조 패턴의 발견을 실험하였으며, 제안된 기법이 각 응용의 블록 참조 패턴을 정확히 발견함을 확인하였다. 그리고 발견된 참조 패턴 정보를 블록 교체 정책에 적용해 보았으며, 실험 결과 기존의 대표적인 블록 교체 정책인 LRU에 비해 최대 57%까지 디스크 입출력 횟수를 줄일 수 있었다.Abstract As the speed gap between processors and disks continues to increase, the role of the buffer cache located in main memory is becoming increasingly important. The buffer cache is managed by block replacement policies and prefetching policies and each policy should decide the value of block, that is which block will be accessed in the near future. The value of block is based on the characteristics of block reference patterns of applications, hence accurate characterization of block reference patterns may improve the performance of the buffer cache. In this paper, we study the characteristics of block reference behavior of applications and propose a scheme that automatically detects the block reference patterns. The detection is made by associating block attributes of a block with the forward distance of the block. With the periodic detection using a two-stage pipeline technique, the scheme can make on-line detection of block reference patterns and monitor the changes of block reference patterns. We measured the detection capability of the proposed scheme using 8 real workload traces and found that the scheme accurately detects the block reference patterns of applications. Also, we apply the detected block reference patterns into the block replacement policy and show that replacement policies appropriate for the detected block reference patterns decreases the number of DISK I/Os by up to 57%, compared with the traditional LRU policy.

Previous buffer cache schemes for continuous media file system only exploited the sequentiality of continuous media accesses and didn't consider looping references. However, in some video applications like foreign language learning, users mark the scene as loop area and then application automatically playbacks the scene several times. In this paper, we propose a novel buffer cache scheme for continuous media file system that sequential and looping references exist together. Proposed scheme increases the cache hit ratio by detecting reference pattern of files and appling an appropriate replacement policy to each file.

The buffer cache of general operating systems such as Linux manages file data by using global block replacement policy and read ahead. As a result, multimedia data with a low locality of reference and various consumption rate have low cache hit ratio and consume additional buffers because of read ahead. In this paper we have designed and implemented a new buffer allocation algorithm for multimedia data on Linux. Our approach keeps one read-ahead cache per every opened multimedia file and dynamically changes the read-ahead group size based on the buffer consumption rate of the file. This distributes resources fairly and optimizes the buffer consumption. This paper compares the system performance with that of Linux 2.4.17 in terms of buffer consumption and buffer hit ratio.

As there has been much demands for processing multimedia data, a storage manager for multimedia data makes much effects on system performance. Because the size of multimedia data is usually very large, disk I/O for the data consumes much time and causes the system performance to be decreased. Therefore, it makes a better effect on system performance that a multimedia data storage manager decreases its disk I/O by the buffer management of multimedia data. This paper proposes a buffer management technique which allocates the buffer to be equal to its corresponding segment which consists of physically continuous disk page set and is disk management unit for multimedia data in many multimedia data storage manager. As the size of buffer varies, it also proposes a buffer replacement policy which consider not only reference behavior of buffer but also buffer size The proposed multimedia data buffer management technique is implemented in KORED/STORM which is a storage manager for multimedia data.

최근에 낸드 플래시 메모리는 빠른 접근속도, 저 전력 소모, 높은 내구성 등의 특성으로 인하여 차세대 대용량 저장 매체로 각광 받고 있다. 그러나 디스크 기반의 저장 장치와는 달리 비대칭적인 읽기, 쓰기, 소거 연산의 처리 속도를 가지고 있고 제자리 갱신이 불가능한 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 디스크 기반 시스템의 버퍼 교체 정책은 플래시 메모리 기반의 시스템에서 좋은 성능을 보이지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려한 새로운 플래시 메모리 기반의 버퍼 교체 정책이 제안되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 디스크 기반의 저장 장치에서 우수한 성능을 보인 CLOCK-Pro를 낸드 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려하여 개선한 CLOCK-NAND를 제안한다. CLOCK-NAND는 CLOCK-Pro의 알고리즘에 기반하며, 추가적으로 페이지 접근 정보를 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 새로운 핫 페이지 변경을 한다. 또한, 더티인 핫 페이지에 대해 콜드 변경 지연 정책을 사용하여 쓰기 연산을 지연하며, 이러한 새로운 정책들로 인하여 낸드 플래시 메모리에서 쓰기 연산 횟수를 효율적으로 줄이는 우수한 성능을 보인다.

In distributed file-systems, cooperative caching algorithm which owns the data cached at each node jointly is used to reduce an expense of disk access. Cooperative caching algorithm is the method that increases a cache hit-ratio and decrease a disk access as it holds the cache information of distributed systems in common and makes cache larger virtually. Recently, several cooperative caching algorithms decrease the message costs by using approximate information of the cache and increase the cache hit-ratio by using local and global cache fields dynamically. And they have an advantage that increases the whole field hit-ratio by sending a replaced buffer to the idle node on buffers replacement in order to maintain the replaced cache in the cache field. However the wrong approximate information deteriorates the performance, the consistency maintenance goes to great expense to exchange messages and the cost that manages Age-information of each node to choose the idle node increases. In this thesis, we propose a cooperative cache algorithm that maintains correct cache information, minimizes the maintenance cost for consistency and the management cost for buffer Age-information. Also, we show the superiority of our algorithm through the performance evaluation.

In this paper, we present a system for undesignated cultural heritage management and real-time theft chase, which uses flash-based large-capacity storage. The proposed system is composed of 3 parts, such as a cultural management device, a flash-based server, and a monitoring service for managing cultural heritages and chasing thefts using IoT technologies. However flash-based storage needs methods to overcome the limited lifespan. Therefore, in this paper, we present a system, which uses the disk buffer in flash-based storage to overcome the disadvantage, and evaluate the system performance in various environments. In our experiments, LRU policy shows the number of direct writes in the flash-based storage by 10.7% on average compared with CLOCK and FCFS.
