In MANET, it is important to efficiently manage data objects and traffic to improve network throughput and response time. This paper proposes a connection-degree based data object search and replication scheme in mobile ad-hoc networks. In this method, information about the path data object providers is stored at the cache of a cluster header at which lots of queries arrive, so that, to reduce the load of the cluster header, replicas can be created at its neighboring nodes. The method proposes an algorithm that picks up a cluster header among mobile nodes and makes it possible to search for and utilize adaptive and up-to-date information in MANET. The method is expected to be effective since it enables access to data objects in spite of broken links among mobile nodes with an enhancement in network response time of searching and a decrease in communication costs. The efficiency of this system was verified via simulation.

This paper presents an efficient hybrid technique to compact the trie indexing the huge forward table small enough to be stored into cache for speeding up IP lookup. It combines two techniques, an encoding scheme called bit-map and a controlled-prefix expanding scheme to replace slow memory search with few fast-memory accesses and computations. For compaction, the bit-map represents each index and child pointer with one bit respectively. For example, when one node denotes n bits, the bit-map gives a high compression rate by consumes $2^{n-1}$ bits for $2^n$ index and child link pointers branched out of the node. The controlled-prefix expanding scheme determines the number of address bits represented by all root node of each trie's level. At this time, controlled-prefix scheme use a dynamic programming technique to get a smallest trie memory size with given number of trie's level. This paper proposes standard that can choose suitable trie structure depending on memory size of system and the required IP lookup speed presenting optimal memory size and the lookup speed according to trie level number.

The main goal of synchronization is to guarantee exclusive access to shared data and critical sections, and then it makes parallel programs work correctly and reliably. Exclusive access restricts parallelism of parallel programs, therefor efficient synchronization is essential to achieve high performance in shared-memory parallel programs. Many techniques are devised for efficient synchronization, which utilize features of systems and applications. This paper shows the simulation results that existing synchronization methods have inefficiency under CC-NUMA(Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access) system, and then compares the performance of Freeze&Melt synchronization that can remove the inefficiency. The simulation results present that Test-and-Test&Set synchronization has inefficiency caused by broadcast operation and the pre-defined order of Queue-On-Lock-Bit (QOLB) synchronization to execute a critical section causes inefficiency. Freeze&Melt synchronization, which removes these inefficiencies, has performance gain by decreasing the waiting time to execute a critical section and the execution time of a critical section, and by reducing the traffic between clusters.

Recently, Baruah et. al. proposed an optimal Pfair scheduling algorithm in the real-time multiprocessor system environments, and several variants of it were presented. All these algorithms assume the fixed unit quantum size. However, under Pfair based scheduling algorithms that are global scheduling technique, quantum size has direct influence on the scheduling overheads such as task switching and cache reload. We proposed a method for deciding the optimal quantum size[2] and an improved method for the task set whose utilization e is less than or equal to $e\;{\leq}\;p/3+1$[3]. However, these methods use repetitive computation of the task's utilization to determine the optimal quantum size. In this paper, we propose a more efficient method that can determine the optimal quantum size in constant time.

Recently, data has been growing dramatically along with the growth of social media and digital devices. A distributed memory processing system has been used to efficiently process large amounts of data. However, if a load is concentrated in a certain node in distributed environments, a node performance significantly degrades. In this paper, we propose a load balancing scheme to distribute load in a distributed memory environment. The proposed scheme replicates hot data to multiple nodes for managing a node's load and migrates the data by considering the load of the nodes when nodes are added or removed. The client reduces the number of accesses to the central server by directly accessing the data node through the metadata information of the hot data. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing load balancing scheme through performance evaluation.

This paper presents an intelligent prefetching technique that significantly improves performance of hybrid fash-disk storage, a combination of flash memory and hard disk. Since flash memory embedded in a hybrid device is much faster than hard disk in terms of I/O operations, it can be utilized as a 'cache' space to improve system performance. The basic strategy for prefetching is to utilize sequential pattern mining, with which we can extract the access patterns of objects from historical access sequences. We use two techniques for enhancing the performance of hybrid storage with prefetching. One of them is to modify a FAST algorithm for mapping the flash memory. The other is to extend the unit of prefetching to a block level as well as a file level for effectively utilizing flash memory space. For evaluating the proposed technique, we perform the experiments using the synthetic data and real UCC data, and prove the usability of our technique.

In this paper, we present the design, functions and performance analysis of the virtual machine (VM) based on the Lua interpreter for On-Board Control Procedure Execution Environment (OEE). The development of the OEE has been required in order to operate the lunar explorer mission autonomously which is planned by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) autonomously. The concept of On-Board Control Procedure (OBCP) is already being applied to the deep space missions with a long propagation delay and a limited data transmission capacity since it ensure he autonomy of the mission without the ground intervention. The interpreter is the execution engine in the VM and it interpreters high-level programming codes line by line and executes the VM instructions. So the execution speed is very more slower than that of natively compiled codes. In order to overcome it, we design and implement OEE using register-based Lua interpreter for execution engine in OEE. We present experimental results on a range of additional hardware configurations such as usages of cache and floating point unit. We expect those to utilized to the OBCP scheduling policy and the system with Lua interpreter.

There is a growing requirement for big data processing which extracts valuable information from a large amount of data. The Hadoop system employs the MapReduce framework to process big data. However, MapReduce has limitations such as inflexible and slow data processing. To overcome these drawbacks, SQL query processing techniques known as SQL-on-Hadoop were developed. Apache Tajo, one of the SQL-on-Hadoop techniques, was developed by a Korean development group. External merge sort is one of the heavily used algorithms in Tajo for query processing. The performance of external merge sort in Tajo is influenced by two parameters, sort buffer size and fanout. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of external merge sort in Tajo with various sort buffer sizes and fanouts. In addition, we figured out that there are two major causes of differences in the performance of external merge sort: CPU cache misses which increase as the sort buffer size grows; and the number of merge passes determined by fanout.

Nowadays users of Virtual Environment are want to play with thousands of players in an evolving virtual world at the same time over the internet. So, the load of this kind of Virtual Environments is heavier than that of any other precedents. One of load balancing methods is map-partition to divide the load of entire system which is vulnerable to delay message between clients and servers. In this paper, we propose a Migration Agent application server architecture using to help migration of player character between field servers and to reduce response time between clients and field servers. Migration Agent is reduce Player Character's responds time as Cache Server, if Player Character move to another Field Server, Player Character need the synchronization process in the DBMS approach, to minimize response time by reducing the period for cross - Player Character Field Server to perform the role. Field Server by placing them in form of a stack existing form of grid, for load concentrated on a specific server.

MMORPG is a role-playing game that tens of thousands of people access it online at the same time. Users connect to the server through the game client and play with their own characters. If the user moves to a management area of another server beyond the area managed by the server, the user information must be transmitted to the server to be moved. In an actual game, the user is required to synchronize the established and the transferred information. In this paper, we propose a migration agent server in the virtual systems. We implement a seamless virtual server using the grid method to experiment with seamless server architecture for virtual systems. We propose a method to minimize the delay and equalize the load when the user moves to another server region in the virtual environment. Migration Agent acts as a cache server to reduce response time, the response time was reduced by 50% in the case of 70,000 people.
