The objective of this research is to design a high-performance NAND flash memory system containing a buffer system. The proposed instruction buffer in the NAND flash memory consists of two parts, that is, a fully associative temporal buffer for temporal locality and a fully associative spatial buffer for spatial locality. A spatial buffer with a large fetching size turns out to be effective for serial instructions, and a temporal buffer with a small fetching size is devised for branch instructions. Simulation shows that the average memory access time of the proposed system is better than that of other buffer systems with four times more space. The average miss ratio is improved by about 70% compared with that of other buffer systems.

In recent years, riparian buffer system has been known as one of the effective best management practices. However, establishment of riparian buffer system in aspect of plant species and its position in the riparian buffer zone has not been investigated due to lack of efficient evaluation method for the analysis of water quality improvement with established riparian buffer system. To solve this problem, the SWAT-REMM prototype was developed by the researchers in Canada. But, SWAT-REMM model can not consider the $NO_3-N$ load into riparian buffer system through subsurface flow. Thus to solved this problem, Fortran code of SWAT-REMM model was modified. This modified SWAT-REMM system was applied to the Bonggok watershed. Three riparian buffer scenarios, 15 m, 10 m, 5 m width for tree and grass, were made to evaluate the effects of riparian buffer system on water quality improvement. Reduction efficiency of T-N by riparian buffer system of 15 m wide was the greatest (6 ~ 37%, depending on subwatershed characteristics) among 3 scenarios. It indicates that the reduction efficiency of T-N load has increasing-tendency, as buffer width increasing. The results obtained from the analysis showed that wide buffer zones are found to be more effective in reducing non-point pollutant than narrow buffer zones in the riparian buffer zone system. Hence, the SWAT-REMM model could be efficiently used for evaluation and design the most effective riparian buffer systems to reduce pollutant loads to the watershed although many limitations still exist in SWAT-REMM model.

It is known that existence of irregular transmission time delay is a major bottleneck for application of advanced robot control schemes to internet telerobotic systems. In the internet teleoperation system, the irregular transmission time delay causes a critical problem, which is unstable and inaccurate. This paper suggests a practical internet teleoperation system with streaming buffer system, which consists of a buffer, a buffer manager, and a control timer. The proposed system converts the irregular transmission time delay to constant. So, the system effectively transmits the control input to a remote site to operate a robot stably and accurately. This feature enables short control input interval. That means the entire system has ...

High-level radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants are disposed subterraneously utilizing an engineered barrier system (EBS). A gap inevitably exists between the disposal canisters and buffer materials, which may have a negative effect on the thermal transfer and water-blocking efficiency of the system. As few previous experimental works have quantified this effect, this study aimed to create an experimental model for investigating differences in the temperature changes of bentonite buffer in the presence and absence of air gaps between it and a surrounding stainless steel cell. Three test scenarios comprised an empty cell and cells partially or completely filled with bentonite. The temperature was measured inside the buffers and on the inner surface of their surrounding cells, which were artificially heated. The time required for the entire system to reach 100℃ was approximately 40% faster with no gap between the inner cell surface and the bentonite. This suggests that rock-buffer spaces should be filled in practice to ensure the rapid dissipation of heat from the buffer materials to their surroundings. However, it can be advantageous to retain buffer-canister gaps to lower the peak buffer temperature.

NAND형 플래시 메모리는저전력, 저렴한 가격, 그리고 대용량 저장매체로 하드디스크 대용을 위하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 기존의 캐쉬 구조인 버퍼 시스템을 이용한 플래시 메모리의 성능향상 연구가 이루어지지만 대부분이 데이터 관련 연구이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 캐쉬 구조의 버퍼를 이용한 고성능 명령어 플래시 메모리를 구현하였다. 제안된 명령어 플래시 메모리 시스템은 분기 명령어를 위한 시간적 버퍼(victim buffer), 명령어의 대표적인 특징인 순차적 인출을 위한 공간적 버퍼(spatial buffer)로 이루어져 있다. 즉, 제안된 명령어 플래시 메모리의 공간적 버퍼는 큰 페칭 크기를 가지므로 명령어의 순차적 인출에 효과적이며, 작은 페칭 크기를 가지는 시간적 버퍼는 공간적 버퍼에 참조된 명령어를 저장하게 되므로 다시 참조를 위한 분기 명령어에 효과적이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 평균 접근 실패율의 경우 미디어 응용군에 대해 4배 크기의 2-웨이 버퍼, 희생 버퍼, 그리고 2배 크기의 완전연관 버퍼에 비해 평균 77% 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This research is concerned with buffer management in a multi-cell FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) with an AGVS(Automated Guided Vehicle System). To reduce blocking and starving caused by breakdowns, variablility in process times, and diversity of part routing, buffer is needed. Due to the high per unit buffer cost, which primarily consists of floor space and equipment cost, the total capacity of buffers in an FMS is very limited. Therefore, proper buffer management can provide a high system efficiency. This paper presents a buffer management model for a multi-cell FMS with an AGVS and a simulation study to compare the proposed model to a conventional buffer management model in a job shop FMS.

The determination of appropriate buffer capacity is an important issue in the design of the advanced manufacturing systems and closely related to the system efficiency and flexibility. Work-in-process is usually not desirable. However, in reality, maintaining some capacity of buffer storage is inevitable in compensation for the machine blocking and break down. The objective of this paper is to present analytical methods and tools for the buffer capacity planning in the Flexible Manufacturing System Environments. The effects when machine blocking is critical factor are also discussed.

As high-level radioactive waste (HLW) generated from nuclear power plants is harmful to the human body, it must be safely disposed of by an engineered barrier system consisting of disposal canisters and buffer and backfill materials. A gap exists between the canister and buffer material in a HLW repository and between the buffer material and natural rock-this gap may reduce the water-blocking ability and heat transfer efficiency of the engineered barrier materials. Herein, the basic characteristics and thermal properties of granular bentonite, a candidate gap-filling material, were investigated, and their effects on the temperature change of the buffer material were analyzed numerically. Heat transfer by air conduction and convection in the gap were considered simultaneously. Moreover, by applying the Korean reference disposal system, changes in the properties of the buffer material were derived, and the basic design of the engineered barrier system was presented according to the gap filling material (GFM). The findings showed that a GFM with high initial thermal conductivity must be filled in the space between the buffer material and rock. Moreover, the target dry density of the buffer material varied according to the initial wet density, specific gravity, and water content values of the GFM.

최근 다양한 기기에서 플래시 메모리 저장장치인 SSD가 활용되고 있다. SSD 기반 시스템에서 기존 하드 디스크 기반 버퍼 교체 알고리즘은 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려하지 않고 이는 시스템의 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 SSD의 특성을 고려하여 읽기 버퍼와 쓰기 버퍼를 분리하고 각각의 버퍼에 서로 다른 크기의 교체 단위와 서로 교체 알고리즘을 적용하는 ABM (Asymmetric Buffer Management) 정책을 제안한다. 추가적으로 제안한 정책을 보완하기 위해 쓰기 교체 지연 정책, 동적 크기 적응화 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제안한 ABM 정책은 효과적으로 성능을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 여러 알고리즘 중 가장 성능이 좋은 ABM-LRU-CLC의 경우 기존의 LRU에 비해 최대 32% 성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

Hardware implemented ring buffer systems and methods are presented for the effective management of the ring buffer in TCP/IP communication. The layer interface of the ring buffer systems transfer free buffer and used buffer size information to the TCP/IP stack upper or low layer. The pointer updation interface calculates a temporary pointer from the data size which is needed by the present pointer of the ring buffer and upper or lowyer layer. The pointer manager of the ring buffer systems is responsible for saving the present pointer of the ring buffer, updating the ring buffer pointer to the new pointer, calculating the free buffer size and used buffer size of the ring buffer, and transferring the information to the upper layer. The ring buffer systems help the TCP/IP layer and TCP/IP upper or lower layer to decide the sending or receiving data size effectively. The delay of transferring data can be lowered by the ring buffer system.
