Abstract

The system implemented in this paper partitions and stores specimen data captured by a light microscope on distributed or parallel systems. Users ran observe images on computers as we use a physical microscope. Based on the client-server computing model, the system consists of client, coordinator, and data manager. Three components communicate messages. For retrieving images, we implemented the client program with necessary functions for educational applications such at image mark and text annotation, and defined the communication protocol. We performed the experiment for introducing a tape storage which stores a large volume of data. The experiment results showed performance improvement by data partitioning and indexing technique.

본 논문에 의해 구현된 시스템은 광학 현미경을 통해 캡춰된 조직 샘플들에 대한 데이터들을 분산/병렬 시스템 상에 분한 저장한다. 사용자들은 컴퓨터 상에서 마치 현미경을 사용하듯이 이들 이미지들을 관찰할 수 있다. 이 시스템은 고객 서버 모델에 의거 고객, 조정자 노드, 데이터 관리자 노드로서 구성되고, 메시지를 통해 데이터를 송수신한다. 본 연구에서는 이미지 표시나 텍스트 주석 등 교육용 응용에 필요한 기능들을 갖춘 이미지 검색용 고객 프로그램을 구현하였고, 세 요소간 통신 규약을 정의하였다. 또한 대용량 데이터들을 저장하는 테이프 장치 도입을 위한 실험을 수행하였으며, 이러한 실험은 데이터 분할 및 인덱싱 기법에 의해 성능 향상을 나타내었다.
