Distributed main memory database management systems (DMM-DBMSs) store the database in main memories of the participating sites. They provide high performance through fast access to the local databases and high speed communication among the sites. Recently, a lot of research results on DMM- DBMSs has been reported. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no known research result on the performance of the catalog management schemes for DMM-DBMSs. In this work, we evaluated the performance of the partitioned catalog management schemes through experimental analysis. First, we classified the partitioned catalog management schemes into three categories : Partitioned Catalogs Without Caching (PCWC), Partitioned Catalogs With Incremental Caching (PCWIC), and Partitioned Catalogs With Full Caching (PCWFC). Experiments were conducted by varying the number of sites, the number of terminals per site, buffer size, write query ratio, and local query ratio. Experiments show that PCWFC outperforms the other two schemes in all cases. It also means that the performance of PCWIC gradually increases as time goes by. It should be noted that PCWFC does not guarantee high performance for disk-based distributed DBMSs in cases when the workload of individual site is high, catalog write ratio is high, or remote data objects are accessed very frequently. Main reason that PCWFC outperforms for DMM-DBMSs is that query compilation and remote catalog access can be done in a very high speed, even when the catalogs of the remote data objects are frequently updated.

The OTT service that provides multimedia video has spread over the Internet for terminals with a variety of resolutions. The terminals are in communication via a networks such as 3G, LTE, VDSL, ADSL. The service of the network has been increased for a variety of terminals giving rise to the need for a new way of encoding multimedia is increasing. SVC is an encoding technique optimized for OTT services. We proposed an efficient multimedia management system for the SVC encoded multimedia data. The I/O trace was generated using a zipf distribution, and were comparatively evaluated for performance with the existing system.

Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a communication middleware that supports a flexible, scalable and real-time communication capability. This paper describes several techniques to improve the performance of DDS middleware. Detailed events for the internal behavior of the middleware are defined. A DDS message is disassembled into several submessages of independent, meaningful units for event-driven structuring in order to reduce the processing complexity. The proposed technique of history cache management is also described. It utilizes the fact that status access and random access to the history cache occur more frequently in the DDS. These methods have been implemented in the EchoDDS, the DDS implementation developed by our team, and it showed improved performance.

Modern HPC systems are equipped with many-core CPUs with dozens of cores. When performing parallel I/O in such a system, there is a limit to scalability due to the problem of the LRU lock management policy of the Linux system. The study proposes an improved FinerLRU to solve this problem. Our new FinerLRU improves the parallel write performance of file systems using the buffer cache through granular lock management by increasing the number of LRU locks upto the maximum number of cores. The proposed method was implemented in Linux 5.18.11, and the performance was measured on two types of CPUs, Intel Icelake Xeon and Intel Knights landing, with different characteristics, and it was found that a performance improvement of about two times can be obtained in both types of systems.

Write amplification is a critical factor that limits the stable performance of flash-based storage systems. To reduce write amplification, this paper presents a new technique that cooperatively manages data in flash storage and nonvolatile memory (NVM). Our scheme basically considers NVM as the cache of flash storage, but allows the original data in flash storage to be invalidated if there is a cached copy in NVM, which can temporarily serve as the original data. This scheme eliminates the copy-out operation for a substantial number of cached data, thereby enhancing garbage collection efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the copy-out overhead of garbage collection by 51.4% and decreases the standard deviation of response time by 35.4% on average.
