Portable devices generally have limited energy sources, so there is a need to minimize the power consumption of processor using energy conservation methods. One of the most common energy conservation methods is dynamic voltage scaling (DVS). In this paper, we propose a new DVS algorithm which uses workload of application to determine frequency and voltage of processors. The posed DVS algorithm consists of DVS module in kernel and specified function in application. The DVS module monitors the processor utilization and changes frequency and voltage periodically. The other part monitors workload of application. With these two procedures, the processor can change the performance level to meet their deadline while consuming less energy. We implemented the proposed DVS algorithm on PXA270 processor with Linux 2.6 kernel.

An OS requires the device driver to control hardware IPs at application level. Development of a device driver requires specific acknowledge for target hardware and OS. In this paper, we present a system which generates a device driver together with an interface circuit. In the proposed system, an efficient device driver is generated by selecting a basic device driver skeleton, a function module code, and a header file table from the pre-constructed library and an interface circuit is constructed such that the generated device driver operates correctly. The proposed system is evaluated by generating a TFT-LCD device driver on the ARM922T core with 3.5 inch Samsung TFT-LCD in ARM-Linux environment. Experiment result shows that the writing time on the LCD is decreased by 1.12% and the compiled code size is increased by 0.17% compared to the manually generated one. The automatically generated device driver has no performance degradation in the latency of hardware control at the application program level. The system development time can be reduced using the proposed device driver generation system.

In Android platform, as applications invoke various service functions through IPC (Inter-Process Communication), IPC performance is critical to the responsiveness in Android. However, Android offers long IPC latency of hundreds of micro-seconds due to complicated software stacks between the kernel Binder and the user-level process Context Manager. This separation provides modularity and flexibility, but degrades the responsiveness of services owing to additional context switching and inefficient request handling. In this paper, we anatomize Android IPC mechanisms and observe that 55% of IPC latency comes from the communication overhead between Binder and Context Manager. Based on this observation, this paper proposes a kernel Binder cache that retains a popular subset of service function mappings, thereby reducing the requests transferred to the user-level daemon. The proposed Binder cache is implemented in Android 5.0 and experimental results with various benchmarks show that the proposed cache architecture improves performance by 52.9% on average.

In parallel cluster computing systems, the efficiency of communication between computing nodes is one of important factors that decide overall system performance. Accordingly, many researchers have studied on high-performance inter-node communication. The recently launched multi-core processor, however. increases the importance of intra-node communication as well because the more the number of cores in a node, the more the number of parallel processes running in the same node. Though there have been studies on intra-node communications, these have limited considerations on the state-of-the-art systems. In this paper, we propose a Linux kernel module that minimizes the number of data copy by exploiting the memory mapping mechanism for high-performance intra-node communication. The proposed kernel module supports the Linux kernel version 2.6. The performance measurements over a multi-core system present that the proposed kernel module can achieve lower latency up to 62% and higher throughput up to 144% than an existing kernel module approach. In addition, the measurements reveal that the performance of intra-node communication can vary significantly based on whether the cores that run the communication processes are belong to the same processor package (i.e., sharing the L2 cache).

In this paper, dynamic response analysis of a heave compensation system is performed for offshore drilling operations based on multibody dynamics. With this simulation, the efficiency of the heave compensation system can be virtually confirmed before it is applied to drilling operations. The heave compensation system installed on a semi-submersible platform consists of a passive and an active heave compensator. The passive and active heave compensator are composed of several bodies that are connected to each other with various types of joints. Therefore, to carry out the dynamic response analysis, the dynamics kernel was developed based on mutibody dynamics. To construct the equations of motion of the multibody system and to determine the unknown accelerations and constraint forces, the recursive Newton-Euler formulation was adapted. Functions of the developed dynamics kernel were verified by comparing them with other commercial dynamics kernels. The hydrostatic force with nonlinear effects, the linearized hydrodynamic force, and the pneumatic and hydraulic control forces were considered as the external forces that act on the platform of the semi-submersible rig and the heave compensation system. The dynamic simulation of the heave compensation system of the semi-submersible rig, which is available for drilling operations with a 3,600m water depth, was carried out. From the results of the simulation, the efficiency of the heave compensation system were evaluated before they were applied to the offshore drilling operations. Moreover, the calculated constraint forces could serve as reference data for the design of the mechanical system.

In this paper, we present the structure and interaction flow between IKE server and the other modules for our IPsec System's efficiency. Our IPsec systems have several components for IP-based end-to-end security services. They are IKE, SADB and SPDB and so on, not to speak of IPsec Protocol Engine. Therefore the efficient interaction structure between them has an much influence on total system efficiency. Especially, in case of IPsec engine integrated with kernel, it is very important how IPsec engine can refer to SPDB and SADB entries efficiently according to the location of the implementation of SPDB and SADB. To solve the above problem, we use the SPI generated by IKE. Finally, we propose the interaction structure between IKE server and the other modules according to the optimization for referring to SPDB and SADB entries.

This paper is a study about Honey-pot Model using CPN(Colored Petri Nets) that is a method of intrusion detection. Suggested Honey-pot model consists of two parts : \circled1 security kernel module for active induction of hacker's intrusion, intrusion detection and behavior pattern analysis. \circled2 virtual module for activity of induced hackers. However, suggested model was compared and analysed with conventional Denning model and Shieh nodel. The Honey-pot model using CPN can classify the characteristic of intrusion pattern, modeling intrusion pattern and pattern matching procedure, detect DDoS attack through multi hosts, and provide basis of study model for analysing intrusion pattern, finally.

현재 사용되고 있는 침입 탐지 시스템들은 새로운 공격 패턴을 가진 침입을 탐지하기 위하여 규칙 데이터베이스를 지속적으로 갱신하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 침입 탐지 능력은 현재 알려진 기술이나 기법들에 한정된다. 따라서, 기존침입 탐지 시스템들은 공격을 받은 후, 현재까지 존재하지 않았던 새로운 기법이 적용된 공격이나 다소 변형된 공격을 받게 되면 침입을 탐지하지 못하거나 능동적 대처를 하지 못하였으며, tcpdump 또는 libpcap과 같은 응용 레벨의 프로그램을 사용하였기 때문에 실시간으로 패킷들을 감시할 수 없었다. 이러한 추가적인 공격들을 탐지하기 위해서 보다 강력하고 능동적인 네트워크 기반의 대응 기술이 요구되는데, 이에 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구 사항을 해결하기 위하여 패킷 감시의 정확성과 침입에 대한 실시간 대응성을 높이는 커널 레벨에서 동작하는 침입 탐지 모듈과, 악의적인 목적을 가진 패킷들을 차단하는 필터링 모듈 개발 기법을 제시하고자 한다.
