Recently the Solid State Drive (SSD) is widely used for storage system of various mobile devices. In this case, existing buffer replacement algorithms based on the hard disk do not consider characteristics of flash memory, so it caused performance degradation of the system. This paper proposes a novel buffer replacement policy called ABM (Asymmetric Buffer Management) policy. ABM policy separates read and write buffer space and applies different replacement unit and replacement algorithm for each buffer. In addition, write buffer delay scheme and dynamic size adaptation algorithm is applied for better performance. ABM outperforms other replacement policies, especially ABM-LRU-CLC shows 32% better performance than normal LRU policy.

Recently, an SSD with hybrid buffer memories is actively researching to reduce the overall latency in server computing systems. However, existing hybrid buffer policies caused many swapping operations in pages because it did not consider the overall latency such as read/write operations of flash chips in the SSD. This paper proposes the clock with hybrid buffer memories (CLOCK-HBM) for a new hybrid buffer policy in the SSD with server computing systems. The CLOCK-HBM constructs new policies based on unique characteristics in both DRAM buffer and NVMs buffer for reducing the number of swapping operations in the SSD. In experimental results, the CLOCK-HBM reduced the number of swapping operations in the SSD by 43.5% on average, compared with LRU, CLOCK, and CLOCK-DNV.

Most policies of VOD services are mainly studied about server system, and make no touch on clients buffer stabilization which is the basis of guaranteeing playback quality and playing without cut off. In this paper, we proposed a skipping frame transfer policy that can sending dynamic buffer control signal to server in accordance with clients buffer state of starvation or overrun, and server transfers a skipped frame to client after receive the control signal. And through a simulation, we show the suggested policy is more efficiency on playback quality by buffer stabilization which is by preventing loss and miss for receiving frame due to grow worse client buffer state.

We investigate the scheduling problem for periodic job shops with blocking. We develop Petri net models for periodic job shops with finite buffers. A buffer control method would allow the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in the order for which they are completed. We discuss difficulties in using such a random order buffer control method and random access buffers. We thus propose an alternative buffer control policy that restricts the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in a predetermined order. The buffer control method simplifies job flows and control systems. Further, it requires only a cost-effective simple sequential buffer. We show that the periodic scheduling model with finite buffers using the buffer control policy can be transformed into an equivalent periodic scheduling model with no buffer, which is modeled as a timed marked graph. We characterize the structural properties for deadlock detection. Finally, we develop a mixed integer programming model for the no buffer problem that finds a deadlock-free optimal sequence that minimizes the cycle time.

This paper proposes a high-speed contention resolution scheme featuring high flexibility to the bursty traffic for an input buffering ATM switching architecture and its hardware strategy. The scheme is based on the threshold on the occupancy of the input buffer. As the proposed scheme utilizes the threshold, it has high flexibility to the fluctuations of the input traffic. The hardware strategy for the proposed policy is provided with the aim of the simple structure that achieves the reduction of the signal path and the power consumption. The performance on the average buffer size of the proposed policy is performed and compared with the conventional schame under the bursty traffic through both the analysis based on the markov hain and the simulation. The relations among the parameters on the proposed policy is analyzed to improve the performance.

This paper explores the effect of the countercyclical capital buffer using a DSGE (Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium) model with a banking sector. The main results are following. First, if the CAR (capital asset ratio) rises by 1%p as the countercyclical capital buffer, output and credit would increase less than otherwise by 0.8%p and 1.2%p, respectively. Second, the countercyclical capital buffer would decrease both credit and debt of banks, or deposit, and, as a result, boost the CAR. However, if we are going to use monetary policy to control credit expansion by allowing the interest rate to respond to credit, bank capital would also diminish, which would cause the CAR to be lower.

NAND flash memories have the advantages of fast access speed, high density and low power consumption, thus they have increasing demand in embedded system and mobile environment. Despite the low power and fast speed gains of NAND flash memory, DRAM disk buffers were used because of the performance load and limited durability of NAND flash cell. However, DRAM disk buffers are not suitable for limited energy environments due to their high static energy consumption. In this paper, we propose WAP-LRU (Write pattern Analysis based Placement by LRU) hybrid disk buffer management policy. Our policy designates the buffer location in the hybrid memory by analyzing write pattern of the workloads to check the continuity of the page operations. In our simulation, WAP-LRU increased the lifetime of NAND flash memory by reducing the number of garbage collections by 63.1% on average. In addition, energy consumption is reduced by an average of 53.4% compared to DRAM disk buffers.

Recently, NAND flash memories have replaced magnetic disks due to non-volatility, high capacity and high resistance, in various computer systems but it has disadvantages which are the limited lifespan and imbalanced operation latency. Therefore, many page replacement policies have been studied to overcome the disadvantages of NAND flash memories. Although it is clear that these policies reflect execution characteristics of various environments and applications, researches on the foundation-policy decision for disk buffer management are insufficient. Thus, in this paper, we propose a foundation-policy recommendation model, called FRM for effectively utilizing NAND flash memories. FRM proposes a suitable page replacement policy by classifying and analyzing characteristics of workloads through machine learning. As an implementation case, we introduce FRM with a disk buffer management policy and in experiment results, prediction accuracy and weighted average of FRM shows 92.85% and 88.97%, by training dataset and validation dataset for foundation disk buffer management policy, respectively.

This study is situated in the context of intelligent transport systems, where in-vehicle devices assist drivers to avoid accidents and therefore improve road safety. The vehicles present in a given area form an ad' hoc network of vehicles called vehicular ad' hoc network. In this type of network, the nodes are mobile vehicles and the messages exchanged are messages to warn about obstacles that may hinder the correct driving. Node mobilities make it impossible for inter-node communication to be end-to-end. Recognizing this characteristic has led to delay-tolerant vehicular networks. Embedded devices have small buffers (memory) to hold messages that a node needs to transmit when no other node is within its visibility range for transmission. The performance of a vehicular delay-tolerant network is closely tied to the successful management of the nodes' transit buffer. In this paper, we propose a message transit buffer management model for nodes in vehicular delay tolerant networks. This model consists in setting up, on the one hand, a policy of dropping messages from the buffer when the buffer is full and must receive a new message. This drop policy is based on the concept of intermediate node to destination, queues and priority class of service. It is also based on the properties of the message (size, weight, number of hops, number of replications, remaining time-to-live, etc.). On the other hand, the model defines the policy for selecting the message to be transmitted. The proposed model was evaluated with the ONE opportunistic network simulator based on a 4000m x 4000m area of downtown Bouaké in Côte d'Ivoire. The map data were imported using the Open Street Map tool. The results obtained show that our model improves the delivery ratio of security alert messages, reduces their delivery delay and network overload compared to the existing model. This improvement in communication within a network of vehicles can contribute to the improvement of road safety.

In this paper, we present the design and analyze the transmission rate of a control algorithm for the client buffer on the VOD systems. The design is based on the server's data transmission rate and clients' data consumption rate. The proposed algorithm stabilizes the client's buffer by reducing the oscillation phenomena of the buffer. And it uses the BCT (Buffer Check Time) to reduce the scheduling load of the client system. The client's data consumption rate and the buffer size are calculated on the basis of BCT. In case that the predicted buffer size operates in the overrun or starvation the buffer. As the load fluctuation of the network, the transmission rate control policy cannot stabilize the client's buffer alone. The media scaling policy, therefore, also performs its complementary part in stabilizing the client's buffer, and performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is provided through simulation.
