  • Due to the rapid performance improvement of smartphones, multitasking on mobile platforms has become an essential feature. Unlike traditional desktop or server environments, mobile applications are mostly interactive jobs where response time is important, and some applications are classified as real-time jobs with deadlines. When interactive and real-time jobs run concurrently, memory allocation between multitasking applications is a challenging issue as they have different time requirements. In this paper, we study how to allocate memory space when real-time and interactive jobs are simultaneously executed in a smartphone to meet the multitasking requirements between heterogeneous jobs. Specifically, we analyze the memory size required to satisfy the constraints of real-time jobs and present a new model for allocating memory space between heterogeneous multitasking jobs. Trace-driven simulations show that the proposed model provides reasonable performance for interactive jobs while guaranteeing the requirement of real-time jobs.

  • Objectives: The objective of this study was to review the effect of oral administration of herbal medicines on the improvement of memory in Alzheimer's disease animal model reported in Korean domestic journals. Methods: The Korean databases (Koreantk, KISS) were searched with memory as a popular search term. During the searches, only animal study reports were reviewed. Data of animal models, intervention, observation methods of measuring indicators were extracted from the databases. Results: Typically, 36 articles were reviewed. Twenty-two studies used scopolamine to induce Alzheimer's disease, 24 studies used complex herbal medicines, and 12 studies used simple herbal medicines. Polygalae Radix and Acori Rhizoma were the most frequently used herbal medicines to improve memory in Alzheimer model. To evaluate the effect of herbal medicines, 36 studies used macroscopy, 16 studies used molecular biological analysis, 21 studies used biochemical analysis, 15 studies used histological analysis, and 11 studies used hematological analysis. Each study showed significant improvement with respect to memory indicators. Conclusions: Overall, the results suggest that treatment employing herbal medicines is an effective option to treat memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease.

  • In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of mobile cache, which is used to improve the data access speed when executing applications on mobile devices, and verify the importance of mobile cache through a cache data access experiment. The mobile device market has grown at a fast pace over the past decade; however, battery limitations and size, price considerations restrict the usage of fast hardware. Thus, their performance are supplemented by using a memory buffer structure such as the cache memory. The analysis mainly focuses on cache size, hierarchical structure of cache, cache replacement policy, and the effect these features has on mobile performance. For the experimental data, we applied a data set from a microprocessor system study, originally used to test the cache performance. In the experimental results, the average data access speed on a mobile device showed a performance improvement of up to 10 times with the presence of cache memory than without. Accordingly, the cache memory was helpful for the performance improvement of a mobile device when the specifications were identical.

  • This paper proposes a pipelined memory access method as a new technique for a bus interface between processors and memories in tightly coupled multiprocessor systems. Since the shared bus is bottle neck of the system, model of pipelined access to memory has been developed. Results of the evaluation by the discrete time Markov model showed a significant improvement of the efficiency.

  • This paper describes the design of FIR filtering DSP-chip that can be operated without programming. The proposed DSP-chip has not only the improvement of execution time but also selectivity of filter length from N=1 to N=128. Hilbert Transformer can be designed from this chip. FIR filter system is composed of Data memory/Control Unit, external memory and multiplier-accumulator. Data memory/Control Unit is laid out in this paper.

  • 웹 서버의 처리 용량을 향상시키기 위한 가장 보편적인 접근방안은 서버 시스템을 중복하여 여러 개 설치하는 것이다. 하지만 이러한 물리적인 증설은 확장이 용이한 반면 비용이나 공간 등의 측면에서 큰 부작용을 동반하기 마련이다. 이와 같은 물리적인 확장 외에 운영체제 환경이나 응용 프로그램의 작은 개선에 의해서도 뜻밖의 큰 성능효과를 얻을 수 있는 경우가 있다. 이 논문에서는 이미지나 데이터 파일 등 고정된 파일을 내려 받을 때 웹 서버에서 일반 파일 대신 Memory Mapped File 입ㆍ출력을 사용한 웹 서비스 성능 향상 방법을 설계ㆍ구현하고 이를 통해서 얻어지는 이득을 실 서비스 환경에서 검증한다.

  • This paper presents parallel sorting algorithm, SHARED-MEMORY-BS and REDUCED-BS, which are implemented on shared-memory parallel computers. These algorithm sort N keys in $O(log^2N)$ time. REDUCED-BS users a parity strategy which gives an idea for the efficient usage of the local memory associated with each processor. By taking advantage of the local memory associated with each processor, the communication of REDUCED-BS is decreased by approximately half that of SHARED-MEMORY-BS. On the basis of alleviating the communication, the algorithm REDUCED-BS results in a significant improvement of performance.

  • The memory characteristics of charge trap flash (CTF) with $HfO_2$ charge trap layer were investigated. Especially, we focused on the effects of tunnel barrier engineering consisted of $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ (ONO) stack or $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ (NON) stack. The programming and erasing characteristics were significantly enhanced by using ONO or NON tunnel barrier. These improvement are due to the increase of tunneling current by using engineered tunnel barrier. As a result, the engineered tunnel barrier is a promising technique for non-volatile flash memory applications.
