  • In this paper, we have modeled and evaluated a new parallel processing system called Scalable Parallel computer Architecture based on Xbar (SPAX) for commercial applications. SMP systems are widely used as servers for commercial applications; however, they have very limited scalability. SPAX cost-effectively overcomes the SMP limitation by providing both scalability and application portability. To investigate whether the new architecture satisfies the requirements of commercial applications, we have built a system model and a workload model. The results of the simulation study show that the I/O subsystem becomes the major bottleneck. We found that SPAX can still meet the I/O requirement of the OLTP workload as it supports flexible I/O subsystem. We also investigated what will be the next most important bottleneck in SPAX and how to remove it. We found that the newly developed system network called Xcent-Net will not be a bottleneck in the I/O data path. We also show the optimal configuration that is to be considered for system tuning.

  • The world wide web (WWW) already accounts f3r more Internee network traffic than any other application, including il and simple file transfer. It is also a collaborative technology in a weak sense of the word - it allows people to share information. Synchronous collaboration is where an interactive activity is simultaneous and in teal-time. Computer based real time collaborative systems like shared whiteboards. collaborative editor etc. are only beginning to emerge recently. These applications invoking more than two users exchanging information, require Multicast communication. Multicast communication is a transmission mode that is now supported by a variety of local and wide area networks. Multicasting enables multiparty communication across a wide area to sparsely distributed groups by minimizing the network load. Multicasting itself is one of the key technologies in the nut generation of the Internet This paper describes the technical issues from the aspect of multicast communication and its reliability in synchronous collaborative application.

  • This paper covers switched reluctance generator (SRG) and its comparison with induction and synchronous machines for distributed generation. The SRG is simple in design, robust in construction, and fault tolerant in operation; it can also withstand very high temperatures. However, the performance and cost of the SRG power electronics driver are highly affected by the topology and design of the converter. IGBT and MOSFET based converters are not suitable for very high power applications. This paper presents thyristor-based resonant converters which are superior candidates for very high power applications. Operations of the converters are analyzed and their characteristics and dynamics are determined in terms of the system parameters. The resonant converters are capable of handling high currents and voltages; these converters are highly efficient and reliable as well. Therefore, they are suitable for high power applications in the range of 1MW or larger for distributed generation.

  • Modern computers provide tremendous computing capability and a large memory system. Hybrid memories consist of next generation memory devices and are adopted in high performance systems. However, the increased complexity of the microprocessor makes it difficult to operate the system effectively. In this paper, we propose a simple data migration method called Bandwidth-aware Data Migration (BDM) to efficiently use memory systems for high performance processors with hybrid memory. BDM monitors the status of applications running on the system using hardware performance monitoring tools and migrates the appropriate pages of selected applications to High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). BDM selects applications whose bandwidth usages are high and also evenly distributed among the threads. Experimental results show that BDM improves execution time by an average of 20% over baseline execution.

  • This study analyzed the difference of learning efficiency by using information media applications for undergraduate students. The survey samples for research were 106 and the results showed significant by simple regulation analysis on computer applications and information media applications with t=2.990(p=0.003), sig=0.05 and on information media applications and learning efficiency with t=41.758(p=0.000), sig=0.05. Otherwise, the result showed no significant on computer applications and learning efficiency with t=-1.756(p=0.082), sig=0.05. As a result, this study provided basic materials on more effective teaching methods than a class using information applications. As providing facts to be consider a class using information media this study found to be new directions on effective information education and teaching methods.

  • We implemented and evaluated the preformance of a task level pipelined multicomputer "RV860-PIPE(Realtime Vision i860 system using PIPEline)" for computer vision applications. RV860-PIPE is a message-passing MIMD computer having ring interconnection network which is appropriate for vision processing. We designed the node computer of RV860-PIPE using a 64-bit microprocessor to have generality and high processing power for various vision algorithms. Furthermore, to reduce the communication overhead between node computers and between node computer and a frame grabber, we designed dedicated high speed communication channels between them. We showed the practical applicability of the implemented system by evaluting performances of various computer vision applications like edge detection, real-time moving object tracking, and real-time face recognition.

  • In this paper, we analyze the performance of MicroVM when running AI applications on an edge computing environment and whether it can replace current container technology and traditional virtual machines. To achieve this, we set up Docker container, Firecracker MicroVM and KVM virtual machine environments on a Raspberry Pi 4 and executed representative AI applications in each environment. We analyze the inference time, total CPU usage and trends over time and file I/O performance on each environment. The results show that there is no significant performance difference between MicroVM and container when running AI applications. Moreover, on average, a stable inference time over multiple trials was observed on MicroVM. Therefore, we can confirm that executing AI applications using MicroVM instead of container or heavy-weight virtual machine is suitable for an edge computing.

  • With the popularity of smart device, mobile applications are playing more and more important role in people's daily life, these applications stores various information which greatly facilitate the user's daily life. However due to the frequent transmission of data in the network also increases the risk of data leakage, more and more developers began to focus on how to protect user data. Current mainstream development models include Native development, Web development and Hybrid development. Hybrid development is based on JavaScript and HTML5, it has a cross platform advantages similar to Web Apps and a good user experience similar to Native Apps. In this paper according to the features of Hybrid applications, we proposed a security scheme in Hybrid development model implements message-level data encryption to protect user information. And through the performance evaluation we found that in some scenario the proposed security scheme has a better performance.
