Database sharing system (DSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In DSS, the processing nodes are locally coupled via a high speed network and share a common database at the disk level. Each node has a local memory, a separate copy of operating system, and a DB'\fS. To reduce the number of disk accesses, the node caches database pages in its local memory buffer. However, since multiple nodes may be simultaneously cached a page, cache consistency must be cnsured so that every node can always access the'latest version of pages. In this paper, we propose efficient cache consistency schemes in DSS, where the database is logically partitioned using primary copy authority to reduce locking overhead, The proposed schemes can improve performance by reducing the disk access overhead and the message overhead due to maintaining cache consistency, Furthermore, they can show good performance when database workloads are varied dynamically.

MPEG/Audio decoder for mobile multimedia systems requires low power consumption. Implementations of AV decoder using a single RISC processor often need high power consumption owing to cash-miss in case of insufficient cash memory. In this paper, we present a MPEG/Audio decoder for mobile handset applications and implement it on a RISC processor embedding a minimized DSP accelerator. Audio decoding algorithm is splined into two parts; computation intensive and control intensive parts. Those parts we, respectively, allocated to DSP and RISC core, which are designed to run in parallel to increase the processing efficiency. The proposed system implements MP3 and AAC decoders at l7MHz and 24MHz clocks, which are reductions of 48% and 40% of complexities in comparison with implementations on a single RISC processor. The proposed method is adequate for mobile multimedia applications with insufficient cash memory.

Recently, CPU-GPU integrated heterogeneous multicore processors have been widely used for improving the performance of computing systems. Heterogeneous multicore processors integrate CPUs and GPUs on a single chip where CPUs and GPUs share the LLC(Last Level Cache). This causes a serious cache contention problem inside the processor, resulting in significant performance degradation. In this paper, we propose the partitioned LLC architecture to solve the cache contention problem in heterogeneous multicore processors. We analyze the performance impact varying the LLC size of CPUs and GPUs, respectively. According to our simulation results, the bigger the LLC size of the CPU, the CPU performance improves by up to 21%. However, the GPU shows negligible performance difference when the assigned LLC size increases. In other words, the GPU is less likely to lose the performance when the LLC size decreases. Because the performance degradation due to the LLC size reduction in GPU is much smaller than the performance improvement due to the increase of the LLC size of the CPU, the overall performance of heterogeneous multicore processors is expected to be improved by applying partitioned LLC to CPUs and GPUs. In addition, if we develop a memory management technique that can maximize the performance of each core in the future, we can greatly improve the performance of heterogeneous multicore processors.

This paper proposes a prefetch-based disk buffer management algorithm, which we call W2R (Veighingjwaiting Room). Instead of using elaborate prefetching schemes to decide which blockto prefetch and when, we simply follow the LRU-OBL (One Block Lookahead) approach and prefetchthe logical next block along with the block that is being referenced. The basic difference is that theW2R algorithm logically partitions the buffer into two rooms, namely, the Weighing Room and theWaiting Room. The referenced, hence fetched block is placed in the Weighing Room, while theprefetched logical next block is placed in the Waiting Room. By so doing, we alleviate some inherentdeficiencies of blindly prefetching the logical next block of a referenced block. Specifically, a prefetchedblock that is never used may replace a possibly valuable block and a prefetched block, thoughreferenced in the future, may replace a block that is used earlier than itself. We show through tracedriven simulation that for the workloads and the environments considered the W2R algorithm improvesthe hit rate by a maximum of 23.19 percentage points compared to the 2Q algorithm and a maximumof 10,25 percentage feints compared to the LRU-OBL algorithm.

The message passing interface (MPI) and hybrid programming models for the parallel computation of a pressure equation were compared in a distributed memory system. Both models were based on domain decomposition, and two numbers of the sub-domain were selected by considering the efficiency of the hybrid model. The parallel performances for various problem sizes were measured using up to 96 threads. It was found that in addition to the cache-memory size, the overhead of the MPI communication/OpenMP directives affected the parallel performance. For small problems, the parallel performance was low because the percentage of the overhead of the MPI communication/OpenMP directives increased as the number of threads increased, and MPI was better than the hybrid model because it had a smaller communication overhead. For large problems, the parallel performance was high because, in addition to the cache effect, the percentage of the communication overhead was relatively low compared to that for small problems, and the hybrid model was better than MPI because the communication overhead of MPI was more dominant than that of the OpenMP directives in the hybrid model.

As main memory get cheaper, it becomes increasingly affordable to load entire index of DBMS and to access the index. Since speed gap between CPU and main memory is growing bigger, many researches to reduce a cost of main memory access are under the progress. As one of those, cache conscious trees can reduce the cost of main memory access. Since cache conscious trees reduce the number of cache miss by compressing data in node, cache conscious trees can reduce the cost of main memory. Existing cache conscious trees use only fixed one compression technique without consideration of properties of data in node. First, this paper proposes the DC-tree that uses various compression techniques and change data layout in a node according to properties of data in order to reduce cache miss. Second, this paper proposes the level of compression locality that describes properties of data in node by formula. Third, this paper proposes Forced Partial Decomposition (FPD) that reduces the nutter of cache miss. DC-trees outperform 1.7X than B+-tree, 1.5X than simple prefix B+-tree, and 1.3X than pkB-tree, in terms of the number of cache misses. Since proposed DC-trees can be adopted in commercial main memory database system, we believe that DC-trees are practical result.

본 논문은 방대한 크기의 볼륨 데이타를 효율적으로 렌더링하기 위한 셀 기반 웨이브릿 압축 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 볼륨을 작은 크기의 셀로 나누고, 셀 단위로 웨이브릿 변환을 한 다음 복원 순서에 따른 런-길이(run-length) 인코딩을 수행하여 높은 압축율과 빠른 복원을 제공한다. 또한 최근 복원 정보를 캐쉬 자료 구조에 효율적으로 저장하여 복원 시간을 단축시키고, 에러 임계치의 정규화로 비정규화된 웨이브릿 압축보다 빠른 속도로 정규화된 압축과 같은 고화질의 이미지를 생성하였다. 본 연구의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 {{}} 해상도의 볼륨 데이타를 압축하여 쉬어-？ 분해(shear-warp factorization) 알고리즘에 적용한 결과, 손상이 거의 없는 상태로 약 27:1의 압축율이 얻어졌고, 약 3초의 렌더링 시간이 걸렸다.Abstract This paper presents an efficient cell-based wavelet compression method of large volume data. Volume data is divided into individual cell of {{}} voxels, and then wavelet transform is applied to each cell. The transformed cell is run-length encoded according to the reconstruction order resulting in a fairly good compression ratio and fast reconstruction. A cache structure is used to speed up the process of reconstruction and a threshold normalization scheme is presented to produce a higher quality rendered image. We have combined our compression method with shear-warp factorization, which is an accelerated volume rendering algorithm. Experimental results show the space requirement to be about 27:1 and the rendering time to be about 3 seconds for {{}} data sets while preserving the quality of an image as like as using original data.

본 논문에서는 무선인터넷 환경에 적합한 개인화된 상품추천에이전트를 제안한다. 기존에 유선인터넷상의 많은 개인화 추천시스템에서는 초기 사용자 모델링을 위해 사용자에게 수많은 질의를 하고 응답을 요구하였다. 그러나 이러한 방식은 무선인터넷 환경에서 정보 전송량에 따른 높은 사용요금을 고려할 때 적용하기 힘든 방식이다. 본 제안 시스템은 사용자의 Social data률 이용하여 사용자를 비슷한 연령과 성별 그룹으로 나누고, 해당 그룹에서 구매율이 높은 상품을 우선 제시한 후, 사용자 행동을 모니터링 하여 암시적(Implicit)피드백을 통해 프로파일을 생성함으로써, 번거로운 질의-응답 과정 없이도 초기 사용자 모델링을 수행할 수 있다. 프로파일 생성 이후에는 이를 기반으로 하여 사용자몰 유사한 취향을 가진 그룹으로 다시 군집화한 후 협력적 추천을 하게 되며, 프로파일에는 해당 상품의 최종 카테고리명과 키워드를 수집함으로써, 상품의 브랜드와 규격정보를 반영한 추천이 가능하다. 또한 추천 상품과 사용자의 구매데이터와의 비교를 수행하여 사용자가 해당상품을 구매하였을 경우, 상품에 대한 취향정보는 그대로 유지하고 관련 상품을 추천하되, 구매한 상품이 중복 추천되지 않도록 하였다. 시스템 평가를 위해 프로토타입을 구현하여, 다수의 사용자에게 시스템을 이용하며 관심품목을 체크하도록 하였고. 추천횟수가 반복되며 히트율이 증가하는 결과를 통해 시스템의 학습속도와 성능을 평가하였다. 그리고 쇼핌몰에서 구매경험이 있는 사용자의 기존 구매데이터와 Social data를 이용한 초기 제시상품을 역으로 비교하여 오랜 시간과 비용 발생 없이도 초기 프로파일 생성의 유효성을 증명하였다. 포함하는 XML 질의에 대해서도 웹에서 캐쉬를 이용한 처리가 효율적임을 확인하였다.키는데 목적이 있다.RED에 비해 향상된 성능을 보여주었다.웍스 네트워크상의 다양한 디바이스들간의 네트워크 다양화와 분산화 기능을 얻을 수 있었고, 기존의 고가의 해외 솔루션인 Echelon사의 LonMaker 소프트웨어를 사용하지 않고도 국내의 순수 솔루션인 리눅스 기반의 LonWare 3.0 다중 바인딩 기능을 통해 저 비용으로 홈 네트워크 구성 관리 서버 시스템 개발에 대한 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 기대된다.e 함량이 대체로 높게 나타났다. 점미가 수가용성분에서 goucose대비 용출함량이 고르게 나타나는 경향을 보였고 흑미는 알칼리가용분에서 glucose가 상당량(0.68%) 포함되고 있음을 보여주었고 arabinose(0.68%), xylose(0.05%)도 다른 종류에 비해서 다량 함유한 것으로 나타났다. 흑미는 총식이섬유 함량이 높고 pectic substances, hemicellulose, uronic acid 함량이 높아서 콜레스테롤 저하 등의 효과가 기대되며 고섬유식품으로서 조리 특성 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.리하였다. 얻어진 소견(所見)은 다음과 같았다. 1. 모년령(母年齡), 임신회수(姙娠回數), 임신기간(姙娠其間), 출산시체중등(出産時體重等)의 제요인(諸要因)은 주산기사망(周産基死亡)에 대(對)하여 통계적(統計的)으로 유의(有意)한 영향을 미치고 있어 $25{\sim}29$세(歲)의 연령군에서, 2번째 임신과 2번째의 출산에서 그리고 만삭의 임신 기간에, 출산시체중(出産時體重) $3.50{\sim}3.99kg$사이의 아
