Today's microprocessor normally includes several processing cores to reduce the energy consumption without losing performance. In this paper, data transfer ordering mechanism can be efficiently used for cache coherence solution in unidirectional ring interconnect. RING-DATA ORDER combines the simplicity of GREEDY-ORDER and the performance of RING-ORDER. RING-DATA ORDER can be easily applicable to multicore processor with unidirectional ring interconnect.

In data broadcasting environments, the server periodically broadcasts data items in the broadcast channel. When each client wants to access any data item, it should monitor the broadcast channel and wait for the desired item to arrive. Client data caching is a very effective technique for reducing the time spent waiting for the desired item to be broadcastted. This paper proposes a new client cache management scheme, named LRU-CFP, to reduce this waiting time ans evaluates its performance on the basis of a simulation model. The performance results indicate that LRU-CFP scheme shows superior performance over LRU, GRAY and CF in the average response time.

Recent advances in model acquisition, computer-aided design, and simulation technologies have resulted in massive databases of complex geometric data occupying multiple gigabytes and even terabytes. In various graphics/geometric applications, the major performance bottleneck is typically in accessing these massive geometric data due to the high complexity of such massive geometric data sets. However, there has been a consistent lower growth rate of data access speed compared to that of computational processing speed. Moreover, recent multi-core architectures aggravate this phenomenon. Therefore, it is expected that the current architecture improvement does not offer the solution to the problem of dealing with ever growing massive geometric data, especially in the case of using commodity hardware. In this tutorial, I will focus on two orthogonal approaches--multi-resolution and cache-coherent layout techniques--to design scalable graphics/geometric algorithms. First, I will discuss multi-resolution techniques that reduce the amount of data necessary for performing geometric methods within an error bound. Second, I will explain cache-coherent layouts that improve the cache utilization of runtime geometric applications. I have applied these two techniques into rendering, collision detection, and iso-surface extractions and, thereby, have been able to achieve significant performance improvement. I will show live demonstrations of view-dependent rendering and collision detection between massive models consisting of tens of millions of triangles on a laptop during the talk.

As the number of Internet users and the amount of web contents have increased very fast, reducing the load of web servers and providing web services more rapidly have been great issues. A web-cache system, which is located between the user and the web server, has been used by many web service providers as an effective way to reduce the load of web servers and the web service response time. In this paper, we have developed a web-cache system which is based on the Squid cache and has a compression capability. The web-cache system in which compression capability reduces the amount of network traffic and the web service response time by transfering the web contents in the compressed format over the network between the web-cache system and the user. The performance enhancement is greater in the reverse-cache system than in the forward-cache system because in the case of the reverse-cache system, the cache reduces the amount of traffic on the Internet which is the bottleneck in the network path between the user and the web server. The experimentation result shows that the amount of data traffic has reduced from 2 to 8 times depending on the size of the web contents. The web server response time has reduced 37% on the average and when the size of the web content is greater than 10Kbyte, the response time has reduced 87% on the average.

Because of explosive growth in demand for web-based multimedia applications, proper proxy caching for large multimedia object (especially video) has become needed. For a video object which is much larger in size and has different access characteristics than the traditional web object such as image and text, caching the whole video file as a single web object is not efficient for the proxy cache. In this paper, we propose a proxy caching strategy with the constant-sized segment for video file and an improved proxy cache replacement policy. Through the event-driven simulation under various conditions, we show that our proposal is more efficient than the variable-sized segment strategy which has been proven to have higher hit ratio than other traditional proxy cache strategies.

SSDs that are not allowed in-place update within the allocated page cause another allocation of a new page that will replace the previous page at the moment data modification occurs. This intrinsic characteristic of SSDs requires many changes to the existing HDD-based IO theory. In this paper, we conduct a performance comparison of FTL caching strategy in perspective of cache hashing (Global vs. grouped) and caching algorithm (LRU vs. NUR) through a simulation. Experimental results show that in terms of energy consumption for flash operation the grouped management of cache is not suitable and NUR algorithm is superior to LRU algorithm. In particular, we found that the cache hit ratio of LRU algorithm is about 10% point higher than that of NUR algorithm while the energy consumption of LRU algorithm is about 32% high.

Although multiprocessor systems are widely used in recent years to run commercial workloads, data sharing patterns are rarely explored due to several difficulties. In this paper, we made in-depth sharing pattern analysis for a representative OLTP application, the TPC-B benchmark, running on a cache-coherent shared-memory multiprocessor system. In addition, to illustrate their effects on the performance, the number of cache misses were measured for various numbers of processors, cache sizes and cache block sizes. From these measurements, we found out the shared data in TPC-B largely bear quite different sharing characteristics from those in scientific applications.

Management policies of Web Proxy Cache, for the QoS of Web users, are mainly focused on the page replacement and the data consistency policy. But the two subjects have been studied independently to each other regardless of its possibility of cooperation. In this paper, we introduce the performance improvement obtained by adapting the characteristic of LMF used in data consistency policy to LRU, thus taking the better performance synergy as a result of complementary cooperation. Various policies for the management of Web Proxy Cache are in progress, this study can be a way of performance guide to increase cache hit ratio and reduce the transmission overhead of Web Server.

Multimedia streaming data is very large in size and accessed sequentially, making the LRU(Least Recently Used) algorithm widely used to improve I/O performance in traditional caching environments ineffective. Experimental analysis of this has shown the superiority of interval-based caching over LRU, but the theoretical basis has not been proven. In this paper, we design a cache performance model to analyze the optimality of caching for multimedia streaming environments and design a theoretically optimal caching algorithm based on interval caching. Then, we show that the algorithm we design is an optimal algorithm that minimizes cache misses of streaming data based on the proposed model.

This Paper proposes a new directory-based cache coherence scheme which significantly reduces coherence traffic by omitting unnecessary write-backs to home nodes for migratory exclusively-modified data. The proposed protocol is well matched to such migratory data which are accessed in turn by processors, since write-backs to home nodes are never used for such migratory sharing. The simulation result shows that our protocol dramatically alleviate the coherence traffic, and the traffic reduction could also lead to shorten network latency and execution time.
