memcached는 기존 RDBMS의 한계를 극복하기 위해 나온 소프트웨어 중 하나이다. memcached는 여러 장점들이 있어 많은 곳에서 활용되지만 주의할 점이 있어 사용 시 몇 가지 요소들을 적절히 설정하여 사용해야 한다. memcached는 기존메모리 할당방식 대신 slab allocater를 통해 메모리를 관리하여 입력되는 데이터의 크기에 맞춰 slab class의 chunk에 저장된다. 입력되는 데이터의 크기에 따라 저장된다는 memcached의 특성 때문에 slab chunk 크기를 조정하는 요소를 상황에 맞게 정해준다면 보다 효율적인 메모리 사용을 할 수 있다는 것을 실험을 통해 검증해보았고, 이 실험을 통해 나온 결과는 memcached를 사용하는 많은 분야에서 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

With the development of information and communication technology, DDoS and DRDoS continue to become security issues, and gradually develop into advanced techniques. Recently, IT companies have been threatened with DRDoS technology, which uses protocols from normal servers to exploit as reflective servers. Reflective traffic is traffic from normal servers, making it difficult to distinguish from security equipment and amplified to a maximum of Tbps in real-life cases. In this paper, after comparing and analyzing the DNS amplification and Memcached amplification used in DRDoS attacks, a countermeasure that can reduce the effectiveness of the attack is proposed. Protocols used as reflective traffic include TCP and UDP, and NTP, DNS, and Memcached. Comparing and analyzing DNS protocols and Memcached protocols with higher response sizes of reflective traffic among the protocols used as reflective traffic, Memcached protocols amplify ±21% more than DNS protocols. The countermeasure can reduce the effectiveness of an attack by using the Memcached Protocol's memory initialization command. In future studies, various security-prone servers can be shared over security networks to predict the fundamental blocking effect.

Memcached, commonly used to speed up the data access in big-data and Internet-web applications, is a system software of the distributed-cache mechanism. But it is subject to the severe challenge of the loss of recently uncommitted updates in the case where the Memcached servers crash due to some reason. Although the replica scheme and the disk-log-based replay mechanism have been proposed to overcome this problem, they generate either the overhead of the replica synchronization or the persistent-storage overhead that is caused by flushing related logs. This paper proposes a scheme of backing up the write requests (i.e., set and add) on the Memcached client side, to reduce the overhead resulting from the making of disk-log records or performing the replica consistency. If the Memcached server fails, a timestamp-based recovery mechanism is then introduced to replay the write requests (buffered by relevant clients), for regaining the lost-data updates on the rebooted Memcached server, thereby meeting the data-consistency requirement. More importantly, compared with the mechanism of logging the write requests to the persistent storage of the master server and the server-replication scheme, the newly proposed approach of backing up the logs on the client side can greatly decrease the time overhead by up to 116.8% when processing the write workloads.

페이스북, 트위터와 같은 클라우드 및 웹 서비스 제공회사와 클라우드 및 웹 서비스 제공자는 수많은 사용자들에 의해 발생되는 무수한 데이터를 빠르게 처리하기 위해 하드 디스크보다는 램에 저장 할 필요가 있다. 그러한 좋은 도구로서 분산메모리 객체 캐싱 소프트웨어인 멤캐시드가 있다. 멤캐시드의 성능은 저장공간의 크기에 따라 많은 차이를 보이는데, 하드웨어의 비용, 전력소비와 온도조절 등 공간의 제약을 감안했을 때, 무작정 개별 서버에 많은 RAM을 장착하거나, 서버 배열을 확장하는 것은 효율적인 방법이 아니다. 따라서 많은 양의 데이터가 메모리에 저장이 가능하도록 RAM과 SSD를 같이 확장한 SSD 기반 하이브리드 메모리를 제안한다. 하이브리드 메모리는 객체 캐시로 동작하고 페이지 단위로 할당하는 것보다 객체 단위로 자원할당을 함으로서 SSD에서 빠른 무작위 읽기를 할 수 있게 해 객체의 접근속도를 향상시켰다.

Solving the disclosure problem of sensitive information with the k-nearest neighbor query, location dummy technique, or interfering data in location-based services (LBSs) is a new research topic. Although they reduced security threats, previous studies will be ineffective in the case of sparse users or K-successive privacy, and additional calculations will deteriorate the performance of LBS application systems. Therefore, a model is proposed herein, which is based on geohash-encoding technology instead of latitude and longitude, memcached server cluster, encryption and decryption, and authentication. Simulation results based on PHP and MySQL show that the model offers approximately 10× speedup over the conventional approach. Two problems are solved using the model: sensitive information in LBS application is not disclosed, and the relationship between an individual and a track is not leaked.

Recently, much research has been devoted to implementing and provisioning high-performance computing environment using clusters with multiple computers and high-performance networking technologies. In-memory based Key-Value stores, such as Redis or Memcached, are widely used in high performance cluster environments to improve the data processing performance. We can distribute data at different storage nodes, and each computing node can access it at a high speed using these In-memory based Key-Value stores. InfiniBand is a de-facto technology that is widely used to interconnect each node of a cluster. In this paper, we propose a new data pre-fetching scheme for Key-Value store based on high performance clusters to improve the performance. The proposed scheme utilizes the data transfer characteristics of InfiniBand. The results of the simulation show that the proposed scheme can reduce the data transfer time by up to about 28%.

Openstack is widely used as a representative open-source infrastructure of the service (IaaS) platform. The Openstack Identity Service is a centralized approach component based on the token including the Memcached for cache, which is the in-memory key-value store. Token validation requests are concentrated on the centralized server as the number of differently encrypted tokens increases. This paper proposes the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) blockchain-based Openstack Identity Service, which can improve the performance efficiency and reduce security vulnerabilities through a PBFT blockchain framework-based decentralized approach. The experiment conducted by using the Apache JMeter demonstrated that latency was improved by more than 33.99% and 72.57% in the PBFT blockchain-based Openstack Identity Service, compared to the Openstack Identity Service, for 500 and 1,000 differently encrypted tokens, respectively.

Key-value stores proved its superiority by being applied to various NoSQL databases such as Redis, Memcached. Lookup performance is important because key-value store applications performs more lookup than insert operations in most environments. However, in traditional applications, lookup may be slow because hash tables are constructed out of linked-list. Therefore, cuckoo hashing has been getting attention from the academia for constant lookup time, and bucketized cuckoo hashing (BCH) has been proposed since it can achieve high load factor. In this paper, we introduce Sorting Cuckoo which inserts data using insertion sort in BCH structure. Sorting Cuckoo determines the existence of a key with a relatively small memory access because data are sorted in each buckets. In particular, the higher memory load factor, the better lookup performance than BCH's. Experimental results show that Sorting Cuckoo has smaller memory access than BCH's as many as about 19 million (25%) in 10 million negative lookup operations (key is not in the table), about 4 million times (10%) in 10 million positive lookup operations (where it is) with load factor 95%.
