NRD(Network RamDisk)는 원격 시스템의 메모리를 네트워크를 통하여 마치 자신의 블록 디바이스처럼 사용할 수 있도록 하는 기법이다. 기본적으로 이 기법은 NRD 접근을 요청하는 NRD 클라이언트와 NRD를 제공하는 NRD 서버 시스템으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스 커널(2.6) 수준에서 NRD 접근을 지원하기 위한 블록 디바이스 드라이버의 설계, 구현 그리고 실험을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 우선 기존 리눅스 커널에서 블록 디바이스에 대한 접근 요청이 처리되는 과정을 분석하여 NRD를 지원하기 위하여 요구되는 추가적인 기능들을 도출한다. 그리고 이 기능들을 제공하는 NRD 클라이언트의 디바이스 드라이버와 NRD 서버를 설계 및 구현한다. 마지막으로 NRD 서버 시스템을 구축하고, 구현된 NRD 디바이스 드라이버를 통한 NRD 클라이언트의 NRD 접근 요청을 실험함으로써 제시한 기법의 기능적 타당성을 검토한다.

This work proposes a highly efficient sensorless motor driver chip for various permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) in a wide power range. The motor driver chip is composed of two important parts. The digital part is a sensorless controller consisting mainly of an angle estimation block and a speed control block. The analog part consists of a gate driver, which is able to sense the phase current of a motor. The sensorless algorithms adapted in this paper include a sliding mode observer (SMO) method that has high robust characteristics regarding parameter variations of PMSMs. Fabricated SMO chips detect back electromotive force signals. Furthermore, motor current-sensing blocks are included with a 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter and various gain current amplifiers for proper sensorless operations. Through a fabricated SMO chip, we were able to demonstrate rated powers of 32 W, 200 W, and 1,500 W.

In this paper, we introduce new FTL(Flash Translation Layer) driver algorithm that tolerate the power off errors. FTL driver is the software that provide the block device interface to the upper layer software such as file systems or application programs that using the flash memory as a block device interfaced storage. Usually, the flash memory is used as the storage devices of the mobile system due to its low power consumption and small form factor. In mobile system, the state of the power supplement is not stable, because it using the small sized battery that has limited capacity. So, a sudden power off failure can be occurred when we read or write the data on the flash memory. During the write operation, power off failure may introduce the incomplete write operation. Incomplete write operation denotes the inconsistency of the data in flash memory. To provide the stable storage facility with flash memory in mobile system, FTL should provide the fault tolerance against the power off failure. SSR (Simple Sector Remapper) is a fault tolerant FTL driver that provides block device interface and also provides tolerance against power off errors.

최근 Industrial-IoT(IIoT) 솔루션은 2016년 기준 최대 55%를 차지하였고, 기술 혁신과 다양한 신규 비즈니스 모델이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IIoT 디바이스를 다양한 환경에서 적용하고, 손쉽게 센서를 추가/변경/삭제하기 위해 블록형 IIoT 디바이스 연동이 가능한 온톨로지 시스템을 구현한다. 제안된 시스템은 IIoT 디바이스, 블록형 모듈과 온톨로지 서버로 구성되어있다. IIoT 디바이스에 블록형 모듈이 연결되면 온톨로지 서버를 통해 적합한 드라이버를 설치하고, 펌웨어를 다운로드한다. 블록이 추가/변경/삭제되어도 자동으로 업데이트가 가능하다. 실험을 통해 서버의 정상 구동과 소프트웨어의 업데이트 및 다운로드가 정상적으로 구현되는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 저내압 반도체 공정으로 제작 가능한 교류 구동 LED 드라이버 IC를 설계하여, 그 성능들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 교류 220V에서 직접 구동하기 위한 드라이버 IC를 제작하기 위하여 500V 이상의 항복전압을 만족하는 반도체 제조공정이 필요하다. 고내압 반도체 제조공정은 일반적인 저내압 반도체 공정보다 매우 높은 제조비용을 요구한다. 따라서 낮은 내압의 소자를 구현하는 반도체 공정기술로도 제작할 수 있도록 LED 드라이버 IC를 직렬로 설계하였다. 이는 입력전압이 고전압이라도 각 LED 블록마다 전압이 나누어 인가되는 것을 가능하게 한다. LED 조명회로는 220V에서 96%의 역률을 나타내고 있다. pnp 트랜지스터를 이용한 역률 개선 회로에서는 99.7%의 아주 높은 역률을 얻을 수 있으며, 입력전압의 변동과 관계없이 매우 안정된 동작을 보여주었다.

Recently, the number of automotive electrical and electronic system has been increased because the requirements for the convenience and safety of the drivers and passengers are raised. In most cases, the data for controlling the various sensors and automotive electrical and electronic system used in runtime should be stored on the internal or external non-volatile memory of the ECU(Electronic Control Units). However, the non-volatile memory has a constraint with write limitation due to the hardware characteristics. The limitation causes fatal accidents or unexpected results if the non-volatile memory is not managed. In this paper, we propose a management scheme for using non-volatile memory to prolong the writing times based on AUTOSAR(AUTOmotive Open System Architecture) platform. Our proposal is implemented on the CDD(Complex Device Driver) and uses an algorithm which swaps a frequently modified block for a least modified block. Through the development of the prototype, the proposed scheme extends the lifetime of non-volatile memory about 1.08 to 2.48 times than simply using the AUTOSAR standard.

The Gen-Z protocol is a memory semantic protocol between the memory and CPU used in computer architectures with large memory pools. This study presents the implementation of the Gen-Z hardware system configured using Gen-Z specification 1.0 and reports its performance. A hardware prototype of a DDR4 Gen-Z memory pool with an optimized character, a block device driver, and a file system for the Gen-Z hardware was designed. The Gen-Z IP was targeted to the FPGA, and a 512 GB Gen-Z memory pool was configured on an ×86 server. In the experiments, the latency and throughput of the Gen-Z memory were measured and compared with those of the local memory, SATA SSD, and NVMe using character or block device interfaces. The Gen-Z hardware exhibited superior throughput and latency performance compared with SATA SSD and NVMe at block sizes under 4 kB. The MySQL and File IO benchmark of Gen-Z showed good write performance in all block sizes and threads. Besides, it showed low latency in RocksDB's fillseq dbbench using the ext4 direct access filesystem.

iSCSI is a block-oriented storage access protocol that enables a user to recognize a remote storage as their own local block device through general TCP/IP networks. This paper presents an alternative approach to overcome the limited storage space of mobile devices based on the iSCSI initiator driver in IPv6 environment, which was originally designed for wired networks.
