본 논문은 모바일 시스템의 에너지소비를 줄이기 위하여 CPU와 WNIC의 상호영향과 응용의 종류를 고려한 시스템 레벨 동적 전력 제어 매커니즘을 제시한다. 제시되는 매커니즘은 CPU의 전압과 주파수의 변화에 따라 WNIC이 소모하는 전력이 영향을 받는다는 현상과 무선 네트워크를 사용하는 응용의 종류에 따라 효율적인 CPU의 전압과 주파수와 WNIC의 전력 모드가 다르다는 점에 기초하여 무선 네트워크를 사용하는 응용의 종류에 따라 적절한 CPU, WNIC의 전력 모드를 효과적으로 판단한다. 실험결과는 기존의 단순히 CPU와 WNIC의 DVFS와 DPM을 결합한 정책에 비해 제시되는 매커니즘은 BE응용, CBR응용, 그리고 Telnet 응용에 대해서 각각 평균 8%, 3%, 그리고 16%의 에너지 절약 효과를 보였다.

With the recent performance improvement of mobile devices as well as the emergence of various applications, not only interactive tasks but also real-time tasks are rapidly increasing. As real-time tasks have deadline requirements, resource management policies used in the conventional time-sharing systems have limitations in satisfying real-time constraints. In this paper, we examine how to efficiently manage resources while satisfying the constraints of real-time tasks through end-to-end resource management of CPU, memory, and storage when interactive and real-time tasks are executed concurrently on a mobile device. Instead of suggesting complicated resource management policies, we focus on examining the basic concepts necessary for each resource management. Specifically, we first look at basic policies such as assigning dedicated CPU cores for real-time tasks, allocating a certain working set of real-time tasks in memory, and using fast storage without context switch in I/O. We then consider how these basic policies can be adopted efficiently.

Efficient power management plays a crucial role to strengthen competitiveness in the market of portable mobile commodities. This paper presents a proactive power management technique, called by Energy-Aware Scheduling policY (EASY), to exploit the sleep time information of running applications. Different from previous power management approaches focusing on power conservation in standby mode, the proposed scheme characterizes each application program's operational characteristic in active mode by observing how long the task stays in sleep state of CPU scheduler. Based on the measured sleep time, the proposed EASY speculates an adequate CPU clock frequency according to the current CPU workload and scales the frequency directly to the predicted one. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the power consumption by 10-30% on average compared to traditional DPM approach, with a minimal impact on the performance overhead.

Decoding processes in portable media players have a high computational cost, resulting in high power consumption by the CPU. If decoding computations are reduced, the power consumed by the CPU is also be reduced, but such a choice generally results in a degradation of the video quality for the users, so it is essential to address this tradeoff. We proposed a new CPU power management scheme that can make use of the scalability property available in the H.164/SVC standard. We first proposed a new video quality model that makes use of a video quality metric(VQM) in order to efficiently take into account the different quantization factors in the SVC. We then propose a new dynamic voltage scaling(DVS) scheme that can selectively combine the previous decoding times and frame sizes in order to accurately predict the next decoding time. We then implemented a scheme on a commercial smartphone and performed a user test in order to examine how users react to the VQM difference. Real measurements show that the proposed scheme uses up to 34% fewer energy than the Linux DVFS governor, and user tests confirm that the degradation in the quality is quite tolerable.

It is not easy to set RED(Random Early Detection) parameter according to environment in managing Network Device. Especially, it is more difficult to set parameter in the case of maintaining the constant service rate according to the change of environment. In this paper, we hypothesize the router that has Multi-core CPU in output queue and propose AI RED(Artificial Intelligence RED), which directly induces Genetic Algorithm of Artificial Intelligence in the output queue that is appropriate to the optimization of parameter according to RED environment, which is automatically adaptive to workload. As a result, AI RED Is simpler and finer than FuRED(Fuzzy-Logic-based RED), and RED parameter that AI RED searches through simulations is more adaptive to environment than standard RED parameter, providing the effective service. Consequently, the automation of management of RED parameter can provide a manager with the enhancement of efficiency in Network management.

This paper proposes S/W Watch-Dog method between Dual CPU using the different OS. The proposed watch-dog method performs that it distinguishes the status of channel between dual CPU and status of processor itself. We find out the ideal value of threshold and priority for load test task. and we evaluate the accuracy of the proposed S/W Watch-Dog Method at the result of evaluation. We figure out that the accuracy of proposed method is higher than the accuracy of general S/W Watch-Dog Method in case of variable data rate. Therefore we confirm that the proposed Method has high accuracy of watch-dog function with the ideal value of threshold and priority for load test task through the performance evaluation.

As the performance of the mobile terminal becomes higher, the power consumption gradually increases. As a result, power management is one of the most important issues in mobile system with battery. In this paper, we describe an DPM(Dynamic Power Management) using DVS(Dynamic Power Management) as a power management mechanism in Qplus operating system. DVS generally considers a specific device such as CPU, whereas we consider the relations with other hardware components as well as each component. We specially focus on the relation between CPU, memory and LCD devices. We also designs a kernel monitor to collect information to decide the policy for power management. According to the experimental results, the proposed method enables to save much power.

A virtual machine lease service in the cloud computing environment has been implemented using the open source cloud computing platform, OpenNebula. In addition, a web-based cloud user interface is developed for both convenient resource management and efficient service access. The present virtual machine allocation scheme adopted in OpenNebula has performance reduction problem because of not considering CPU allocation scheduler of the virtualization software. In order to address this problem we have considered both the priority of the idle CPU resources of the cluster and credit scheduler of Xen, which resulted in performance improvement of the OpenNebula virtual machine scheduler. The experimental results showed that the proposed allocation scheme provided more virtual machine creations and more CPU resource allocations for cloud service.

Recently, CPU-GPU integrated heterogeneous multicore processors have been widely used for improving the performance of computing systems. Heterogeneous multicore processors integrate CPUs and GPUs on a single chip where CPUs and GPUs share the LLC(Last Level Cache). This causes a serious cache contention problem inside the processor, resulting in significant performance degradation. In this paper, we propose the partitioned LLC architecture to solve the cache contention problem in heterogeneous multicore processors. We analyze the performance impact varying the LLC size of CPUs and GPUs, respectively. According to our simulation results, the bigger the LLC size of the CPU, the CPU performance improves by up to 21%. However, the GPU shows negligible performance difference when the assigned LLC size increases. In other words, the GPU is less likely to lose the performance when the LLC size decreases. Because the performance degradation due to the LLC size reduction in GPU is much smaller than the performance improvement due to the increase of the LLC size of the CPU, the overall performance of heterogeneous multicore processors is expected to be improved by applying partitioned LLC to CPUs and GPUs. In addition, if we develop a memory management technique that can maximize the performance of each core in the future, we can greatly improve the performance of heterogeneous multicore processors.
