본 논문은 모바일 무선 시스템의 가용시간을 늘리고자 최근 사용량이 증가하고 있는 웹 응용으로 대표되는 대화형 응용을 사용할 때 시스템의 에너지를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 통합 전력 제어 기법을 제시한다. 기존의 방법들은 CPU와 WNIC의 소모 에너지 절감을 위하여 상호간에 영향이 없다는 가정하에 CPU와 WNIC에 대하여 각각의 정책을 수립하였다. 하지만 제시되는 매커니즘은 대화형 응용을 처리할 때 WNIC에서 얻을 수 있는 정보들을 CPU의 전압과 주파수 조절에 사용함으로써 시스템 레벨의 에너지 소모를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있다. 실험결과는 제시되는 매커니즘에 의해 기존의 CPU와 WNIC의 모드를 별개로 제어한 방법에 비해 평균 46%, 최대 62%의 소모 에너지 절감 효과를 보였다.

Transport Control Protocol (TCP) has been implemented in software running on CPU in end systems, and the protocol processing has appeared as a new bottleneck due to advanced link technology. TCP processing is a critical issue in Storage Area Network (SAN) such as iSCSL, and the overall performance of the Storage Area Network heavily depends on speed of TCP processing. TCP Engine implemented in hardware reduces the load of CPU in end systems as well as accelerates the protocol processing, and hence high speed data processing is achieved. In this paper, we have proposed a hardware engine for TCP processing. TCP engine consists of three major block, TCP Connection block Rx TCP block and Tx TCP block TCP Connection block is responsible for managing TCP connection states. Rx TCP block is responsible for receive flow which receives packets from network and sends to CPU. Rx TCP performs header and data processing and sends header information to TCP connection block and Tx TCP block It also assembles out-of-ordered data to in-ordered before it transfers data to CPU. Tx TCP block is responsible for transmit flow which transfers data from CPU to network. Tx TCP performs retransmission for reliable data transfer and management of transmit window and sequence number. Various test-cases are used to verify the TCP functions. The TCP Engine is synthesized using 0.18 micron technology and results in 51K gates not including buffers for temporal data storage.

A microserver is a type of a computing server, in which two or more CPU nodes are implemented on a separate computing board, and a plurality of computing boards are integrated on a main board. In building a cluster system, the microserver has advantages in several points such as energy efficiency, area occupied, and ease of management compared to the existing method of mounting legacy servers in multiple racks. In addition, since the microserver uses a fast interconnection network between CPU nodes, performance improvement for data transfers is expected. The proposed microserver can mount a total of 16 computing boards with 4 CPU nodes on the main board, and uses Serial-RapidIO (SRIO) as an interconnection network. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed microserver in terms of the interconnection network which is a core performance issue of the microserver, we compare and quantify the performance of commercial microservers. As a result of the test, it showed up to about 7 times higher bandwidth improvement when transmitting data using the interconnection network. In addition, with CloudSuite benchmark programs used in actual cloud computing, maximum 60% reduction in execution time was obtained compared to commercial microservers with similar CPU performance specification.

Mobile game apps, which are popular in various mobile devices, tend to be power-hungry and rapidly drain the device's battery. Since a long battery lifetime is a key design requirement of mobile devices, reducing the power consumption of mobile game apps has become an important research topic. In this paper, we investigate the power consumption characteristics of popular mobile games with multiple threads, focusing on the inter-thread. From our power measurement study of popular mobile game apps, we observed that some of these apps have abnormally high-load threads that barely affect the user's gaming experience, despite the high energy consumption. In order to reduce the wasted power from these abnormal threads, we propose a novel technique that detects such abnormal threads during run time and reduces their power consumption without degrading user experience. Our experimental results on an Android smartphone show that the proposed technique can reduce the energy consumption of mobile game apps by up to 58% without any negative impact on the user's gaming experience.

In this paper, an effort has been made to design and develop an optimized programming model for Real-time Ship Management System. Replacing the conventional interrupt-driven programming model, an embedded real-time operating system (RTOS) has been implemented on the system, allowing processes to run virtually simultaneous and multitasking. Data management algorithms are designed and developed in the RTOS to facilitate data distribution amongst tasks and optimize the CPU processing time through intelligent resource utilization. Finally, data lost in the system has been minimized via the improvement of data processing rate under the optimized programming model.

Virus protection infrastructure management is network infrastructure management, traffic route management, virus protection zone expansion, and virus protection management for gateway area. This research paper provides a diagnosis of characteristics and weaknesses of the structure of existing virus protection infrastructure, and recommends an improved multi-level virus protection infrastructure as a measure for correcting these weaknesses. Unproved virus protection infrastructure fitters unnecessary mail at the gateway stage to reduce the toad on server. As a result, number of transmission accumulation decreases due to the reduction in the CPU load on the Virus wall and increase in virus treatment rate.

There exist virtual machine scheduling delays in virtualized environment in which virtual machines share physical resources. Many resource management systems have been proposed to provide better application QoS through monitoring and analyzing application performance and resource utilization of virtual machines. However, those management systems don't consider virtual machine scheduling delays, result in incorrect application performance evaluation and QoS violations In this paper, we propose an application behavior analysis considering the scheduling delays, and a virtual machine priority allocation scheme based on the analysis to improve the application response time by minimizing the overall virtual machine scheduling delays.

Volunteer computing is a new computing paradigm that performs operations on idle resources of many nodes. The operation method of the client application for the execution of the volunteer computing is determined by the setting information of the user. Ideal operation requires optimized settings for system features and operating methods of other applications. In this paper, we analyze the usage ratio of CPU and GPU periodically, and develop a manager that dynamically applies optimized options. Through our proposed mechanism, the performance of the task computing is higher than that of the existing Volunteer Computing, and the performance interference is minimized. It is expected that volunteers will be able to provide higher computing resources for Volunteer Computing Project.
