For real-time interactive multimedia operations, such as video uploading, video play, fast-forward, and fast-rewind, solid state disk (SSD)-based storage systems for video streaming servers are becoming more important. Random access rates in storage systems increase significantly with the number of users; it is thus difficult to simultaneously serve many users with HDD-based storage systems, which have low random access performance. Because there is no mechanical operation in NAND flash-based SSDs, they outperform HDDs in terms of flexible random access operation. In addition, due to the multichannel architecture of SSDs, they perform similarly to HDDs in terms of sequential access. In this paper, we propose a new SSD-based storage system for interactive media servers. Based on the proposed method, it is possible to maximize the channel utilization of the SSD's multichannel architecture. Accordingly, we can improve the performance of SSD-based storage systems for interactive media operations.

The drag of the excess charge in an electrical double layer at the solid fluid interface due to water flow induces the streaming current, i.e., the streaming potential (SP). Here we introduce a sandbox experiment to study this hydroelectric coupling in case of a tracer test. An acrylic tank was filled up with homogeneous sand as a sand aquifer, and the upstream and downstream reservoirs were connected to the sand aquifer to control the hydraulic gradient. Under a steady-state water flow condition, a tracer test was performed in the sandbox with the help of peristaltic pump, and tracer samples were collected from the same interval of five screened wells in the sandbox. During the tracer test, SP signals resulting from the distribution of 20 nonpolarizable electrodes were measured at the top of the tank by a multichannel meter. The results showed that there were changes in the observed SP after injection of tracer, which indicated that the SP was likely to be related to the solute transport.

This paper deals with a resource efficient artificial intelligence (AI) service architecture for multi-channel video streams. As an AI service, we consider the object detection model, which is the most representative for video applications. Since most object detection models are basically designed for a single channel video stream, the utilization of the additional resource for multi-channel video stream processing is inevitable. Therefore, we propose a resource efficient AI service framework, which can be associated with various AI service models. Our framework is designed based on the modular architecture, which consists of adaptive frame control (AFC) Manager, multiplexer (MUX), adaptive channel selector (ACS), and YOLO interface units. In order to run only a single YOLO process without regard to the number of channels, we propose a novel approach efficiently dealing with multi-channel input streams. Through the experiment, it is shown that the framework is capable of performing object detection service with minimum resource utilization even in the circumstance of multi-channel streams. In addition, each service can be guaranteed within a deadline.

본 논문에서는 비음수 행렬 분해 (NMF) 기법을 이용하여 단일 채널에서 배경음 성분을 추출하는 알고리즘에 대해 서술한다. 이러한 배경음 성분 추출은 오디오 업믹싱 시스템을 고려하여 개발되었으며, 기존의 연구를 통하여 분리된 배경음 신호가 업믹싱 시스템에 적용될 경우 공간감을 향상시킬 수 있다는 사실이 이미 확인된 바 있다. 다만 기존의 기법은 음향 신호를 모두 축적하여 일괄적으로 처리해야 한다는 단점이 있어, 스트리밍 시스템이나 디지털 시그널 프로세서 (DSP) 등을 이용한 시스템에서 사용되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해소하기 위하여 실시간 비음수 행렬 분해 기법을 이용한 배경음 추출 시스템을 고안하여 실험하였다. 실험에서 처리된 음원을 스펙트럼 평활도를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 고안된 배경음 추출 시스템이 기존의 일괄 추출 시스템과 유사한 정도로 배경음 성분을 추출했음을 확인할 수 있었다.
