Recently, interests in space information data are increasing due to the initiation of spatial information open platform service by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The purpose of this study is optimizing management and storing of the texture data, one kinds of 3D-spatial data. First, extract 3D-spatial data through the aerial triangulation and 3D-writing using raw image taken with the Multi-directional aerial camera and the vertical aerial camera. And develop the method to create single texture data and related technique by align and place corresponding 3D-spatial data to optimal storage space. Through experiment, the results show effect of 8 times of storage capacity reduction compared to existing single-file storage method, additionally, new method can improve file management efficiency in comparison with multiple file storage method. The results of this study can be cornerstone of three-dimensional space information management when dealing with bulk data, and utilizations will be enhanced through the further studies and algorithm improvement.

Recently, demands for computer systems with multicore CPUs and high-performance flash-based storage devices (i.e., flash SSD) have rapidly grown in cloud computing, surer-computing, and enterprise storage/database systems. Journaling file systems running on high-performance systems do not exploit the full I/O bandwidth of high-performance SSDs. In this article, we evaluate and analyze the performance of the Linux EXT4 file system with high-performance SSDs and multicore CPUs. The system used in this study has 72 cores and Intel NVMe SSD, and the flash SSD has performance up to 2800/1900 MB/s for sequential read/write operations. Our experimental results show that checkpointing in the EXT4 file system is a major overhead. Furthermore, we optimize the checkpointing procedure and our optimized EXT4 file system shows up to 92% better performance than the original EXT4 file system.

There are currently various file encryption systems and applications for encryption and storage of file on disk. However, the existing file encryption solutions handle encryption and decryption all at once by file or directory. In this study, we propose a system call supporting partial encryption function of the file. The user sets the partial encryption of the file by using system call interface, and writes the contents. And then the data is encrypted and stored on the disk. Also if the user sets the decryption and reads the data, the necessary part of data is decrypted by applying the user setting. According to the user setting, only the necessary part is encrypted and stored on a storage medium. As a result, the information in a secret level can be saved efficiently and securely.

Disk I/O is a major performance bottleneck of web proxy server. Today's most web proxy sowers are design to run on top of a general purpose file system. But general purpose file system can not efficiently handle web cache workload, small files, leading to the performance degradation of entire web proxy servers. In this paper we evaluate the performance potential of raw disk to reduce disk I/O overhead of web proxy servers. To show the performance potential of raw disk, we design a storage management system called Block-structured Storage Management System (BSMS). And we also actually implement web proxy server that incorporate BSMS in Squid. Comprehensive experimental evaluations show that raw disk can be a good solution to improve disk I/O performance significantly for web proxy servers.

This paper analyzes file access characteristics of smartphone apps and finds that a large portion of file writes are performed only once. Based on this observation, we present a new buffer cache management scheme that considers this characteristics. Buffer cache improves storage performance by maintaining hot file data in memory thereby servicing subsequent requests without storage accesses. However, it should flush modified data to storage in order to resist system crashes. The proposed scheme evicts cache data that has been written only once upon flushes, thus improving cache space utilization. Simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme improves cache hit ratio by 5-33% and power consumption by 27-92%.

The traditional file system are designed to store and manage fur small size files. So. we cannot process the huge files related with geographic information data using the traditional file system such as unix file system or linux file system. In this paper, we propose new metadata structures and management mechanisms for the large file system in geographic information system. The proposed mechanisms use dynamic multi-level mode for large files and dynamic bitmap for huge file system. We implement the proposed mechanisms in the metadata structures of SANtopia is shared disk huge file system for storage area networks(SAN).

The allocation of files is essential to the efficiency and effectiveness of a distributed system that must meet geographically dispersed data processing demands. In this paper, we address an optimization model that generates optimal file migration policies in distributed database systems. The proposed model is a more generalized model that includes system's capacity constraints - computing sites' storage capacity and communication networks' capacity - which have not taken into consideration in previous researches. Using this model, we can establish initial file allocation, file reallocation and file migration polices that minimize a system operating cost under system's capacity constraints at an initial system design or reorganization point The proposed model not only can be adopted by small-sized systems but also provides a foundation for effective and simple heuristics for adaptive file migration in large systems.

Application of flash memory in mobile and ubiquitous related devices is rapidly being increased due to its low price and high performance. In addition, some notebook computers currently come out into market with a SSD(Solid State Disk) instead of hard-drive based storage system. Regarding this trend, applications need to increase the storage capacity using multiple flash memory chips for larger capacity sooner or later. Flash memory based storage subsystem should resolve the performance bottleneck for writing in perspective of speed and lifetime according to its physical property. In order to make flash memory storage work with tangible performance, reclaiming of invalid regions needs to be controlled in a particular manner to decrease the number of erasures and to distribute the erasures uniformly over the whole memory space as much as possible. In this paper, we study the performance of flash memory recycling algorithms and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm shows acceptable performance for flash memory storage with multiple chips. The proposed cleaning method partitions the memory space into candidate memory regions, to be reclaimed as free, by utilizing threshold values. The proposed algorithm handles the storage system in multi-layered style. The impact of the proposed policies is evaluated through a number of experiments.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic load distribution technique at the operating system level in mobile storage systems with a heterogeneous storage pair of a small form-factor and disk and a flash memory, which aims at saving energy consumption as well as enhancing I/O performance. Our proposed technique takes a combinatory approach of file placement and buffer cache management techniques to find how the load can be distributed in an energy and performance-aware way for a heterogeneous mobile storage air of a hard disk and a flash memory. We demonstrate that the proposed technique provides better experimental results with heterogeneous mobile storage devices compared with the existing techniques through extensive simulations.

The DCSU performs satellite payload data acquisition and storage functions before sending the data to the ground station. While imaging, the DCSU makes a file per each input channel and store into memory stack. For the successful imaging mission, proper DCSU mission parameters should be uploaded before the mission such as file name, file size, output channel for the download transmission and so on. This paper will describe the DCSU recording mechanism and some notices that might be helpful for the ground operators.
