In this paper, we propose a method to remotely intuitively identify faults found in storage devices in soft-RAID used in a server system composed of Linux. To do this, we analyze the principle and problem of fault reporting method in the soft-RAID system of Linux OS and suggest the state of storage devices in remote Internet Home-page. The proposed method consists of a method of displaying images on the Internet home-page, so that it can be arranged freely when creating a home-page, and the image data is composed of external files, so it is bery convenient to edit and replace images In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we have confirmed that the state of each storage device can be confirmed at a long distance without any major addition to the Home-page configuration.

Due to the recent advent of fast storage media, the memory management system needs to reconsider the configuring of a page unit. In this paper, we analyze the effect of the page size on memory performance as fast storage is adopted. Specifically, we analyze the TLB hit ratio and the page fault ratio as the workload and the page size are varied in desktop and smartphone environments. Our analysis shows that the influence of the page size depends on the system and workload conditions in desktop systems. However, in smartphone systems, the effect of the page size on memory performance is not large, and is not also sensitive to workloads. We expect that the analysis of this paper will be helpful in configuring the page size of given workloads under the system with fast storage media.

Due to the recent advances in Phage-Change Memory (PCM) technologies, a new memory hierarchy of computer systems with PCM is expected to appear. In this paper, we present a new page replacement policy that adopts PCM as a high speed swap device. As PCM has limited write endurance, our goal is to minimize the amount of data written to PCM. To do so, we defer the eviction of dirty pages in proportion to their dirtiness. However, excessive preservation of dirty pages in memory may deteriorate the page fault rate, especially when the memory capacity is not enough to accommodate full working-set pages. Thus, our policy monitors the current working-set size of the system, and controls the deferring level of dirty pages not to degrade the system performances. Simulation experiments show that the proposed policy reduces the write traffic to PCM by 160% without performance degradations.

Recently, fast storage media such as phage-change memory (PCM) emerge, and memory management policies for slow disk storage need to be revisited. In this paper, we propose a new page replacement policy that makes use of PCM as a swap device of virtual memory systems. The proposed policy aims at reducing write traffic to the swap device as well as reducing the number of page faults pursued by traditional page replacement policies. This is because a write operation in PCM is slow and PCM has limited write endurances. Specifically, the proposed policy focuses on the reduction of page faults when the memory load of the system is high, but it aims at reducing write traffic to storage when free memory space is sufficient. Simulation experiments with various memory reference traces show that the proposed policy reduces write traffic to PCM without performance degradations.

In this paper, we propose a fault tolerant embedded system using memory redundancy on the full-virtualization based virtual machine monitor. The proposed virtual machine monitor first virtualizes main memory of embedded system utilizing efficient shadow page table scheme so that the embedded system runs as a virtual machine on the virtual machine monitor. The virtual machine monitor makes the backup of the embedded system run as another virtual machine by copying memory contents of the embedded system into memory space of backup system according to predefined schedules. When an error occurs in the target virtual machine, the corresponding standby virtual machine takes the role of target virtual machine and continues its operation. Performance evaluation studies show that such backups and switches of virtual machines are performed with minor performance degradation.

The enterprise find a solution to the problems such as a reduction of manufacturing period, accurate analysis for customer demand, improvement for customer service and rise of manufacture accomplishment. Internet is a good solution to such problems. Internet offers WWW(World Wide Web), remote control, file transfer and e-mail service. Among the services, WWW takes large portion because of convenient GUI, easy information search and unlimited information registration. Remote Monitoring Server(RMS) system that uses network service is constructed for chip mounter. Hardware base consists of RMS, chip mounter and C/S(Customer Service) server. Software includes DBMS and various modules in server home page. This provide product number, bad product number, trouble code, content and countermeasure in real-time information module, user information in setup module, detailed error information in fault diagnosis module, fault history in fault history module and customer information in customer service management module.

2018년 Meltdown 공격이 발표된 이후 Foreshadow, ZombieLoad 등 다양한 종류의 마이크로아키텍처 기반 부 채널 공격과 방어 기법들이 발표되었다. 그중 Meltdown 공격을 원천 차단할 수 있는 KPTI (Kernel Page Table Isolation)는 커널 영역을 사용자 메모리 영역과 분리하여 커널 정보의 유출을 방어할 수 있으나, 최대 46%의 시스템 성능 저하를 가져온다. 본 연구는 런타임에 시스템콜 발생빈도를 분석하여 낮은 오버헤드로 Meltdown-type 공격을 탐지하고, 방어하는 프로그램을 개발하고 실험하였다. 개발한 Fault Monitoring Tool은 기존 시스템 대비 적은 오버헤드(최대 7%)로 악의적인 사용자를 구분해 내고 방어할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a fault tolerance technique which enables embedded systems to run without interruption while its operating system and tasks fail. In order to improve reliability, the proposed scheme makes an embedded system run as a virtual machine on virtual machine monitor. It also prepares a contingency virtual machine at which periodical backups of the embedded system are saved. When an error occurs in the main virtual machine, the corresponding standby virtual machine takes a role of the main virtual machine and continues its operation. Especially such backups and switches of virtual machines are performed with minor performance degradation by manipulating page table entries in virtual machine monitor. By conducting performance evaluation studies, we show that the proposed scheme makes embedded system robust against errors while it does not degrade the performance of the system significantly.

점진적 검사점은 검사점 사이의 변경된 상태만을 기록하는 방식으로 검사점 오버헤드를 줄이는 기법으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 점진적 검사점인 Ickpt의 설계 내용과 함께 리눅스 커널 2.4.20에서 구현하는 기법에 대해 설명한다. Ickpt는 리눅스 운영체제에서 제공하는 페이지 쓰기 결함을 이용하여, 변경된 페이지만을 새로운 검사점에 저장한다. Ickpt의 실험 결과는 비점진적 검사점을 사용한 것에 비하여 상당히 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.
