This paper proposes a low cost hot swap operation circuit of a parallel operation power supply for servers. Hot swap function for server power system is essential in 24 hour operation system such as internet data center, server, factory and etc. Server power supplies used in internet data centers have two or more parallel operations with the hot swap operation. However, the cost of the power supply is high because the controller IC for hot swap operation is very expensive. Therefore, this paper proposes a parallel-operated power supply with a low-cost hot swap controller for servers. The proposed system can operate hot swap function by using discrete devices and reduce the cost by more than 50%. A 1.2kW prototype system is implemented to verify the proposed low cost hot swap controller.

As the mobile computers are becoming powerful and are used like general-purpose computers, operating systems for mobile computers also require swap system functionality that utilizes main memory efficiently. Flash memory is widely used as storage device for mobile computers but current linux swap system does not consider flash memory. Swap system is tightly related with process execution since it stores the contents of process in execution. By taking advantage of this characteristics, in this paper, we study a new linux swap system called PASS(Process-Aware Swap System), which allocates the different flash memory blocks to each process. Trace-driven experimental results show that PASS outperforms existing linux swap system with existing garbage collection schemes in terms of garbage collection cost.

Due to the recent advances in non-volatile memory technologies such as PCM, a new memory hierarchy of computer systems is expected to appear. In this paper, we explore the performance of PCM-based swap systems and discuss how this system can be managed efficiently. Specifically, we introduce three management techniques. First, we show that the page fault handling time can be reduced by attaching PCM on DIMM slots, thereby eliminating the software stack overhead of block I/O and the context switch time. Second, we show that it is effective to reduce the page size and turn off the read-ahead option under the PCM swap system where the page fault handling time is sufficiently small. Third, we show that the performance is not degraded even with a small DRAM memory under a PCM swap device; this leads to the reduction of DRAM's energy consumption significantly compared to HDD-based swap systems. We expect that the result of this paper will lead to the transition of the legacy swap system structure of "large memory - slow swap" to a new paradigm of "small memory - fast swap."

In recent computer systems with high-performance, users execute programs needing large memory and programs intensively accessing files simultaneously. Such a large memory requirement makes virtual memory systems access swap spaces in disk, and intensive file accesses require file systems to access file system partitions in disk. Executing the two kinds of programs at once incurs large disk seeks between swap spaces and file system partitions frequently. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new scheme called SAF to create several swap spaces in a file system partition, where pages to be paged out are stored. When a page is paged out, the scheme stores the page to one of the swap spaces close to a disk location where the most recently accessed file is located. The chosen swap space in the file system partition is closer to the disk location than the traditional swap space, so that our scheme can reduce the large disk seek time spent to move to the traditional swap space in paging out a page. The experiment of our scheme implemented in FreeBSD 6.2 shows that SAF reduces the execution time of several benchmarks over FreeBSD ranging from 14% to 42%.

가상 메모리 관리에서 가장 근 문제점은 느린 보조기억 장치의 속도와 빠른 주기억장치의 속도 차이에서 나타나는 성능 저하라고 할 수 있다 요구 페이징 기법에서 Page Fault가 일어나면 페이지 교체 정책에 의해 필요 없는 page들을 swap device로 이동을 시킨다. 이때 느린 보조기억장치의 접근 속도로 인한 응답시간의 지연은 전체적인 시스템 성능의 저하를 초래한다. 그래서 Swap Device로의 접근 횟수와 페이지의 크기를 줄일 수 있다면 Page Out되는 응답시간을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상 메모리 압축 시스템을 설계하여 Swap Out 되는 시간을 줄여 시스템의 전체적인 성능 향상을 위한 시스템을 구현한다.

This paper presents an optimized adoption of NVM for the storage system of heterogeneous applications. Our analysis shows that a bulk of I/O does not happen on a single storage partition, but it is varied significantly for different application categories. In particular, journaling I/O accounts for a dominant portion of total I/O in DB applications like OLTP, whereas swap I/O accounts for a large portion of I/O in graph visualization applications, and file I/O accounts for a large portion in web browsers and multimedia players. Based on these observations, we argue that maximizing the performance gain with NVM is not obtained by fixing it as a specific storage partition but varied widely for different applications. Specifically, for graph visualization, DB, and multimedia player applications, using NVM as a swap, a journal, and a file system partitions, respectively, performs well. Our optimized adoption of NVM improves the storage performance by 10-61%.

Overlay Multicast is an effective method for optimal utilization of system resources and network bandwidth without a need for hardware customization. It is an effective method of providing Personal Internet Broadcasting Service for better Quality of Service to many users. In this paper, we propose a multicast tree that uses Local Swap method. In order to prove the effectiveness of the new technique suggested here, using the proposed method and personal internet broadcasting service, information is abstracted, compared and analyzed under various overlay multicast algorithm conditions. We have proved that the suggested local swap technique is more effective by comparing it with other existing techniques in various methods such as using various overlay based multicast algorithm simulation.

Energy Storage System(ESS) is a system that maximizes energy efficiency by selectively storing and using the generated power when needed. Therefore, energy must be able to be charged or supplied at any time, and non-operating time should be minimized even in the case of failure or maintenance. However, current large-capacity energy storage systems must be shut down during maintenance due to structural problems. In this paper, we propose a PCS for 1MW ESS by configuring modular for large capacity ESS in parallel and verified of the hot swap technology that can replace, change, and repair the components that make up the system while keeping the system operating.
