Multilevel modulation schemes are known to be highly bandwidth efficient. By varying modulation level adaptively according to channel conditions (i.e. adaptive QAM schemes or AQAM), high bandwidth efficiency can be achieved. This paper considers the effect of time delay on the adaptive QAM schemes in dispersive fading channels. In order to undertake investigations effectively, a simulator has been developed. The simulation results show that the BER performance obtained for the wideband channel with a delay spread of 0.75 $\mu$sec is better than 10$^{-4}$ with a SNR value of 40 ㏈ and ABPS is found to be approximately 5.5.

This paper describes high-speed duobinary transceiver design techniques which are widely used to increase data-rate despite limited channel bandwidth. At high data-rate, signal level is severely degraded as signal frequency becomes larger than the channel bandwidth. Mathematically, a duobinary signal has lower frequency components compared to a Non-Return-to-Zero signal for the same data-rate. Therefore, by using the duobinary signaling, the signal loss can be effectively reduced in physical channel environment as compared to the Non-Return-to-Zero signaling. The mathematical basis of duobinary signaling, and its applications to high-speed transceiver design are investigated in this paper.

As size of genomic data is increasing rapidly, the needs for high-performance computing system to process and store genomic data is also increasing. In this paper, we captured I/O trace of a system which analyzed 500 million sequence reads data in Genome analysis pipeline for 86 hours. The workload created 630 file with size of 1031.7 Gbyte and deleted 535 file with size of 91.4 GByte. What is interesting in this workload is that 80% of all accesses are from only two files among 654 files in the system. Size of read and write request in the workload was larger than 512 KByte and 1 Mbyte, respectively. Majority of read write operations show random and sequential patterns, respectively. Throughput and bandwidth observed in each processing phase was different from each other.

과도한 파일 입출력이 요구되는 병렬파일 시스템의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소로서 캐슁과 선반입을 들 수 있다. 본 논문은 캐쉬의 크기에 비해 상대적으로 큰 파일을 요청하는 경우에 시스템 성능에 막대한 영향을 미치는 선반입에 대해서 선반입할 데이터를 결정하는 알고리즘으로 테이블 비교법을 제안하고, 이와 더불어 예측된 데이터의 선반입 여부와 선반입 시기를 결정하는 경우 현재의 가용 입출력 대역폭을 고려하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 선반입 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기타 선반입 알고리즘과 비교해 본 결과 파일 시스템 성능이 향상되었음을 보여준다.

Recently with increase of data in the Internet, platform technologies that can process huge data effectively such as Google platform and Hadoop are regarded as worthy of notice. In this kind of platform, there exist network I/O overheads to send task outputs due to the MapReduce operation which is a programming model to support parallel computation in the large cluster system. In this paper, we suggest applying of TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) protocol for reducing network I/O overheads and increasing network performance in the distributed computing environments. TIPC has a lightweight protocol stack and it spends relatively less CPU time than TCP because of its simple connection establishment and logical addressing. In this paper, we analyze main features of the Hadoop-based distributed computing system, and we build an experimental model which can be used for experiments to compare the performance of various protocols. In the experimental result, TIPC has a higher bandwidth and lower CPU overheads than other protocols.

Various caching and prefetching algorithms have been investigated to identify and effective method for improving the performance of I/O devices. A prefetching algorithm decreases the processing time of a system by reducing the number of disk accesses when an I/O is needed. This paper proposes an AMBA prefetching method that is an extended version of the OBA prefetching method. The AMBA prefetching method will prefetching blocks continuously as long as disk bandwidth is enough. In this method, though there were excessive data request rate, we would expect efficient prefetching. And in the AMBA prefetching method, to prevent the cache pollution, it limits the number of data blocks to be prefetched within the cache area. It can be implemented in a user-level File System based on a Linux Operating System. In particular, the proposed prefetching policy improves the system performance by about 30∼40% for large files that are accessed sequentially.

Recently, as mobile workloads are becoming more data-intensive, high data bandwidth is required for mobile memory which also consumes non-negligible system energy. A variety of researches and technologies are under development to improve and optimize mobile memory technologies. However, a comprehensive study on the latest mobile memory technologies (LPDDR or Wide I/O) has not been extensively performed yet. To construct high-performance and energy-efficient mobile memory systems, quantitative and detailed analysis of these technologies is crucial. In this paper, we simulate the computer system which adopts mobile DRAM technologies (Wide I/O and LPDDR3). Based on our detailed and comprehensive results, we analyze important factors that affect performance and energy-efficiency of mobile DRAM technologies and show which part can be improved to construct better systems.

Intensive I/O bandwidth demand of the multimedia streaming service puts significant burden on file system. Different from the legacy text based or image data, the semantics of the data in multimedia format can be significantly affected if the data block is not delivered by the predefined deadline. The legacy file system used in Unix or Unix like environment is designed to efficiently handle the files who sizes range from few hundreds of byte to several tens of gigabytes. This fundamental design philosophy results in the file system based on multi level skewed tree structure. Multi level i-node structure has significant drawback when the application performs sequential read operation. In this article, we present the result of the performance study of the file system which is specifically designed for handling multimedia streams. We implemented the file system on Linux Operating System environment and examines the performance behavior of the file system under streaming I/O workload. The result of the study shows that the proposed file system performs much more efficiently than the ext2 file system of Linux does.

This paper proposes a dynamic hybrid patching technique that can improve the performance of VOD systems by adopting the advantages of both greedy patching and grace patching to use a VOD server's limited network-I/O bandwidth. The proposed technique uses grace patching to the requests for the videos, arrival intervals of which are smaller than the size of patching window, and uses greedy patching to the rest requests. In addition, proposed patching technique expands the latest particular patching multicast into a regular multicast for a new request. In result, the patching multicast data for the new request can be the data from the beginning to the skew point of the video and the holding time of a dispatched channel can exceedingly decrease. Simulation results confirm that the proposed technique is better than grace patching in terms of defection rate and average service latency.

In this paper, we address the issues related to storage and retrieval of continuous media (CM)data we face in designing multimedia on-demand (MOD) storage servers. To support the two orthogonal factors of MOD server design, i.e., storage and retrieval of CM data, this paper discusses the techniques of disk layout, disk striping and real-time disk scheduling, which are integrated as a combined solution to the high- performance MOD storage subsystem. The proposed clustered striping technique enables either a multiple-disk or a parallel system to guarantee a continuous retrieval of CM data at the bandwidth required to support user playback rate by avoiding the formation of I/O bottlenecks.
