Long-Reach PON (LR-PON) is a broadband access network using passive optical network (PON) technology which the reach is extended to 100 km or higher. A major challenge in LR-PON is that the propagation delay between OLT and ONUs is increased by a very significant amount. To effectively and fairly distribute the upstream bandwidth dynamically in LR-PON, we propose a new periodic and multi-thread polling based dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm. We compare the proposed algorithm with traditional DBAs and show its advantage on average packet delay. Numerical results are analyzed under varying offered loads.

A network based intrusion detection system(N-IDS), can detect intruders coming in through packets in real time environment. The ability of capture of packet is the most important factor when we evaluate the performance of the system. The time delay between the time handling one packet capture and next one is variant become of packet handling mechanism. So for N-IDS can not settle this problem because most systems use a single processor. In this thesis, we solve the problem of irregular tine delay with a file socket and multi-thread processing. We designed and implement, the Crasto system. By an accurate observation, the performance testing shows that the Crasto reduces the capture delay time to 1/5 comparing to the existing single process N-IDS, and maintain delay time regularly.

A novel a-Si TFT integrated gate driver circuit using multi-thread driving has been developed. The circuit consists of two independent shift registers alternating between the two modes, "wake" and "sleep". The degradation of the circuit is retarded because the bias stress is removed during the sleep mode. It has been successfully integrated in 14.1-in. XGA LCD Panel, showing enhanced stability.

A dynamic thread pool model is one of a multi-thread server programming model that handles many requests from users concurrently. In most cases, bounded thread pool model is used for server programming. Because it reduces a thread overhead by creating a pool of threads in advance, it ran response more quickly to users' requests. But this model always occupies system resource when there are small amount of requests, which prevents other applications from using available resources. In this paper, for the utilization of occupied but unused resources, we proposed and implemented a prediction-based dynamic thread pool scheme using customized exponential average. From the experiments, we show that this scheme outperforms hounded thread pool model and uses small resources.

Linux Foundation has announced a real-time kernel, called Zephyr, for IoT applications recently. Zephyr kernel provides synchronous and asynchronous IPC for data communication between threads. Synchronous IPC is useful for programming multi-threads that need to be executed synchronously, since the sender thread is blocked until the data is delivered to the receiver thread and the completion of data transfer can be known to two threads. In general, 'IPC execution time' is defined as the time duration between the sender thread sends data and the receiver thread receives the data sent. Especially, it is important that 'IPC execution time' in the synchronous IPC should be fixed in real-time kernel like Zephyr. However, we have found that the execution time of the synchronous IPC in Zephyr kernel increases in proportion to the number of threads executing in the kernel. In this paper, we propose a method to implement a fixed time synchronous IPC in Zephyr kernel using Direct Thread Switching(DTS) technique. Using the technique, the receiver thread executes directly after the sender thread sends a data during the remaining time slice of the sender thread and we can archive a fixed IPC execution time even when the number of threads executing in the kernel increases. In this paper, we implemented synchronous IPC using DTS in the Zephyr kernel and found the IPC execution time of the IPC is always 389 cycle that is relatively small and fixed.

소켓 프로그래밍(socket programming) 인터페이스를 지원하는 C/C++, perl, python 과 같은 언어들은 폴링(polling) 기능을 갖는 select() 함수를 제공한다. 이 select()함수를 이용할 경우, 단일 쓰레드(또는 프로세스)로 다중의 클라이언트 요청을 처리할 수 있다. 최근 네트워크 프로그래밍 분야에서 주목받는 자바 언어의 경우, 최신 JDK 1.4 의 비동기 입출력 패키지에서 select()함수를 제공하고 있으나, JDK 1.3을 포함한 그 이하의 버전에서는 아직까지 이 함수를 제공하지 않고 있다. 일반적으로 다중 쓰레드를 이용하여 소켓서버 응용프로그램을 개발할 경우, 코드가 단순해지고 응답이 빠른 장점이 있는 반면에 네트워크 연결이 증가할수록 다수의 쓰레드를 관리하는 일이 CPU에 큰 부담이 된다. 반면에 소켓폴링(socket polling)을 사용할 경우, 이러한 연결 유지에 대한 부담이 줄어드는 대신, 다중 쓰레드를 이용하는 방법에 비하여 구현이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 시뮬레이션 환경에서 세가지 소켓 프로그래밍 모델에 대하여 그 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 이 세가지 모델은 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델(typical multi-thread model), 단일 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델(socket polling with single-thread model), 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델(socket polling with multi-threadmodel)이다. 본 논문에서는 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델을 제안하고 JDK 1.3.1을 이용하여 구현하였다. 이 모델의 경우 복잡한 구조에도 불구하고 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델와 유사하거나 더 나은 성능을 보여주었다. 또한 동일한 용량의 쓰레드 풀(thread pool)을 사용하더라도 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델보다 더 많은 수의 클라이언트를 수용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구팀에서 수행중인 MoIM-Messge서버의 네트워크 모듈로 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델을 적용하였다.

Existing web server lowers the whole capacity of system because of the problem on the processing load of server by closing connection increasing code handshake operation, and remarkable decrease of server capacity if it is the state of overload. Also, there occurs disadvantages of increasing connection tine about client's request and response time because handling of client's multi-requests is not smooth because of thread block and it requests a lot of time and resources for revitalization of thread. Therefore, this paper proposes the extended web server which provides the technique for delay handling and improves the overload of server for better system capacity, communication support, and the unification which is the advantage of web service. And it evaluates the existing system(implemented at Tomcat 5.5) and the proposed mobile web server architecture. The extended server architecture provides excellent exchange condition for system capacity and evaluates improved web server architecture which combines multi-thread with thread pool. The proposed web service architecture in this paper got the better result of improved capacity benefit than the evaluation result of original Tomcat 5.5.

Round-robin is widely used for the scheduling of large-scale parallel workloads in the computing units of GPGPU. Round-robin is easy to implement by sequentially allocating tasks to each computing unit, but the load balance between computing units is not well achieved in multi-workload environments like cloud. In this paper, we propose a new thread block scheduling policy to resolve this situation. The proposed policy manages thread blocks generated by various GPGPU workloads with multiple queues based on their computation loads and tries to maximize the resource utilization of each computing unit by selecting a thread block from the queue that can maximally utilize the remaining resources, thereby inducing load balance between computing units. Through simulation experiments under various load environments, we show that the proposed policy improves the GPGPU performance by 24.8% on average compared to Round-robin.

The role of the interconnect network, which connects computing nodes to each other, is important in high-performance computing (HPC) systems. In recent years, the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) has become a promising interface as an interconnection network for high-performance and cost-effective HPC systems having the features of non-transparent bridge (NTB) technologies. OpenSHMEM is a programming model for distributed shared memory that supports a partitioned global address space (PGAS). Currently, little work has been done to develop the OpenSHMEM library for PCIe-interconnected HPC systems. This paper introduces a prototype implementation of the OpenSHMEM library through a switchless interconnect network using PCIe NTB to provide a PGAS programming model. In particular, multi-interrupt, multi-thread-based data transfer over the OpenSHMEM shared memory model is applied at the implementation level to reduce the latency and increase the throughput of the switchless ring network system. The implemented OpenSHMEM programming model over the PCIe NTB switchless interconnection network provides a feasible, cost-effective HPC system with a PGAS programming model.
