A multimedia SoC often requires a large internal buffer, because it must store the whole search window to reduce the huge I/O bandwidth of motion estimation. However, the silicon area of the internal buffer increases tremendously as the search range becomes larger. This paper proposes a new method that greatly reduces the internal buffer size of a multimedia SoC while the computational cost, I/O bandwidth, and image quality do not change. In the proposed method, only the overlapped parts of search windows for consecutive macroblocks are stored in the internal buffer. The proposed method reduces the internal buffer. The proposed method reduces the internal buffer size to 1/5.0 and 1/8.8 when the search range is ${\pm}64{\times}{\pm}$64 and ${\pm}128{\times}{\pm}$128, respectively.

일반 DSP들은 새로운 algorithm 및 응용 system의 개발을 위해서 전용 development system 및 simulator가 필수 불가결의 요소이다. 그러나 대부분 development system은 일반화된 내부 구조에 의해 그 유연성에 한계가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 A/D입력과 D/A출력 data를 저장하는 buffer의 길이를 program에 의해 1 sample 단위부터 최대 2K sample 단위까지 가변할 수 있도록 하고, 이들 buffer도 2중 구조로 하여 연속 신호의 처리가 가능도록 한 DSP평가용 system을 개발하였다.

To promote the inclusion of end-to-end congestion control in the design of future protocols using best-effort traffic, we propose a router mechanism, Extended FRED(ex-FRED). In this paper, we catagorize the TCP controlled traffics into robust and fragile traffic and discuss several unfairness conditions between them caused by the diverse applications. For example, fragile traffic from bursty application cannot use its fair share due to their slow adaptation. Ex-FRED modifies the FRED(Fair Random Early Drop), which can show wrong information due to the narrow view of actual buffer. Therefore, Ex-FRED uses per-flow accounting in larger virtual buffer to impose an each flow a loss rate that depends on the virtual buffer use of a flow. The simulation results show that Ex-FRED uses fair share and has good throughput.

Good quality superconducting $YBa_2Cu_30_{7-{\delta}}$(YBCO) thin films were grown on Hastelloy (Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) with yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) buffer layers by in situ pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. Generally, Hastelloy exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, fatigue, thermal shock, impact, and erosion. However, it is difficult to make films on flexible metallic substrates due to interdiffusion problems between metallic substrates and superconducting overlayers. To overcome this difficulty, it is necessary to use YSZ buffer layer since it will not only limit the interdiffusion process but also minimize the surface microcrack formation due to smaller mismatch between the film and the substrate. In order to enhance the crystallinity of YBCO films on metallic substrates, YSZ buffer layers were grown at various temperatures different from the deposition temperature of YBCO films. On YSZ buffer layer grown at higher temperature than that for depositing YBCO film, the YBCO thin film was found to be textured with c-axis orientation by x-ray diffraction and had a zero-resistance critical temperature of about 85K.

Database sharing system(DBSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In DBSS, 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 DBMS. 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 ensured so that every node can always access the latest version of pages. In this paper, we propose efficient buffer invalidation schemes in DBSS, 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.

Multimedia communication systems require not only high-performance computer hardwares and high-speed networks, but also a buffer management mechanism to process many data efficiently. Two buffer handling methods, Push and Pull, are commonly used. In the Push method, a server controls the flow of dat to a client, while in the Pull method, a client controls the flow of data from a server. Those buffering schemes can be applied to the data transfer between the packet receiving buffer, which receives media data from a network server, and media playout devices, which play the recived media data. However, the buffer management mechanism in client-sides mainly support either one of the Push or the Pull method. Consequently, they have some limitations to support various media playout devices. Futhermore, even though some of them support both methods, it is difficult to use since they can't provide a unified structure. To resolved these problems, in this paper, we propose an efficient and flexible Push/Pull buffer management mechanism at client-side. The proposed buffer management scheme supports both Push and Pull method to provide various media playout devices and to support buffering function to absorb network jitter. The proposed scheme can support the various media playback devices using a single buffer space which in consequence, saves memory space compared to the case that a client keeps tow types of buffers. Moreover, it facilitates the single buffer as a mechanism for the absorbing network jitter effectively and efficiently. The proposed scheme has been implemented in an existing multimedia communication system, so called ISSA (Integrated Streaming Service Architecture), and it shows a good performance result compared to the conventional buffering methods in multimedia communication environments.

분기-접합 생산시스템은 오랜 기간 동안 연구되어왔지만, 개별 또는 공유 유한 버퍼를 갖고 일반공정시간 분포를 따르는 시스템에 대한 분석은 제한적이다. 일반적으로 대기행렬 이론적 분석법은 유한 버퍼를 갖는 시스템에 대한 분석에는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 max-plus 대수적 분석법을 활용하여 일반 공정시간을 갖는 버퍼 공유 분기-접합 생산시스템을 분석하였다. 하지만, 이러한 분석법은 특성치 계산의 관점에서는 적절한 방법을 제공하지 못하기 때문에 max-plus 대수로 도출된 표현식과 @RISK 소프트웨어를 활용하여 스프레드시트 시뮬레이션 모형을 개발하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 유한 버퍼와 두 가지 차단규칙인 BBS(통신차단)과 BAS(제조차단) 하에서 시스템 대기시간에 대한 몇몇 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

Recently, thin-film solar cells of Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS) have reached a high level of performance, which has resulted in a 19.9%-efficient device. These conventional devices were typically fabricated using chemical bath deposited CdS buffer layer between the CIGS absorber layer and ZnO window layer. However, the short wavelength response of CIGS solar cell is limited by narrow CdS band gap of about 2.42 eV. Taking into consideration the environmental aspect, the toxic Cd element should be replaced by a different material. It is why during last decades many efforts have been provided to achieve high efficiency Cd-free CIGS solar cells. In order to alternate CdS buffer layer, ZnS buffer layer is grown by using chemical bath deposition(CBD) technique. The thickness and chemical composition of ZnS buffer layer can be conveniently by varying the CBD processing parameters. The processing parameters were optimized to match band gap of ZnS films to the solar spectrum and exclude the creation of morphology defects. Optimized ZnS buffer layer showed higher optical transmittance than conventional thick-CdS buffer layer at the short wavelength below ~520 nm. Then, chemically deposited ZnS buffer layer was applied to CIGS solar cell as a alternative for the standard CdS/CIGS device configuration. This CIGS solar cells were characterized by current-voltage and quantum efficiency measurement.

ATM 트래픽 관리의 목적은 호 설정시 요구하는 QoS를 충족시키는 것과 최소한의 망 자원을 이용하면서 망을 보호하는 것이다. 또한, 서로 다른 채널간 QoS을 공정하게 보장하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 채널들간에 공정한 QoS 제공과 링크 이용률을 높이기 위하여 입력버퍼에 문턱값을 기반으로 출력 셀율을 동적으로 조정하는 새로운 TBBM(threshold based buffer management)알고리즘을 제안하였으며 문턱값 변화에 따른 성능을 분석하였다.
