This paper describes the design and implementation of C standard library for real-time operating system Q+, that is being developed for the internet appliance. The C library in the real-time operating system should be defined according to the standard interface and support the concurrent execution of threads. The implemented C standard library is reentrant and follows POSIX.l standard interface. And, the C standard library functions, which are adequate to the Q+ application and commonly provided by commercial real-time operating systems, are selected among POSIX.l standard functions. The C standard library is implemented on the Q+ kernel and D-TV set-top box according to the implementation sequence, which is determined by analyzing the relation of function calls.

멀티프로세서 환경에서 OpenMP는 MPI 에 비해 병렬 프로그래밍을 쉽게 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있고, OpenMP는 표준이 없는 병렬 프로그래밍 세계에서 실질적인 표준으로써 인정받고 있다. OPenMP는 대상 플랫폼에 따라 OpenMP 구현을 다르게 해야 하기 때문에 새로운 프로세서가 등장하면 그에 맞는 OpenMP구현을 만들어야 한다. 이 논문에선 다중 프로세서 시스템-온-칩 시스템인 ARM11MPCore 시스템 위에 POSIX 쓰레드에 기반하여 OpenMP 환경을 구축하고 그 성능을 측정한다.

본 논문에서는 동적 병렬 태스크를 추출하는 메커니즘을 공유 메모리 구조상에서 구현하는데 있어서 최적화 기법에 대해서 소개한다. 최대의 호환성을 고려하여 POSIX thread와 C언어를 사용하였는데 이에 따른 오버헤드를 여러 가지 구현 기법을 사용하여 줄이고자 노력하였다. 그리고 병렬 처리시 대부분의 계산은 각 처리기에서 순차 계산에 의해 이루어지므로 이 순차 계산시에 발생하는 오버헤드를 줄이는 것을 최우선으로 하였다.

One of the jai or purposes of multiprocessor system is to get a high efficiency in performance improvement. But in most cases, it is unavoidable to use some special programming languages or tools for full use of multiprocessor system. In general, loop and recursive call statements of algorithms are considered as typical parts for parallelization. Especially, recursive call statements are easy to parallelize conceptually without support of any special languages or tools. But it is difficult to control the degree of parallelism caused by high depth of recursive call leading to execution crash. This paper proposes a device to control Parallelism in the process of POSIX thread bated parallelization of recursive algorithms. For this, we define the concept of thread and process in UNIX system, and analyze the results of experimental application of the device to quick sorting algorithm.

The major components of IoT(Internet of Things) environment are IoT devices rather than the conventional desktop computers. One of the intrinsic characteristics of IoT devices is diversity in view of data type and data access method. In addition, IoT devices usually deal with real-time data. In order to use such IoT data for internal business or cloud services, an IoT platform capable of easy domain management and consistent data access interface is required. This paper proposes a Linux FUSE-based virtual file system connecting IoT devices on POSIX file system view. It is possible to manage IoT domain with the native Linux utilities such as mkdir, mknod, ls and find in the file system. Also, the file system makes it possible to access or control IoT devices through POSIX interface such as open(), read(), write() or close() without any separate APIs or utilities. A test result shows that the management performance of the file system is lower than that of linux file system negligibly.

As the new technologies, such as IEEE 1394, USB, Bluetooth, PLC are appeared, the embedded real time operating system which is satisfied the various technologies is needed. This paper proposed and implemented C standard library which is independently used in real time operating system and which supports an application development interface. The proposed C standard library is based on EL/IX, an Embedded Linux API based on POSIX, which is suitable for other embedded operating systems as well. And because the proposed C standard library has four level, it supports various Internet appliances, such as digital TV, settop box. The developed C library is tested at Qplus-P real time operating system which is developed at ETRI.

본 논문은 실시간 운영체계인 ARX 의 독특한 메커니즘을 바탕으로 한 POSIX 의 thread library( Pthread library)의 구현에 대하여 다룬다. ARX Pthread library는 POSIX 1003.lc의 규약을 따르며 실시간 프로그램밍의 특성에 맞도록 이를 확장한 주기적인 thread, deadine handler등의 확장된 인터페이스를 제공한다. 이와 더불어 정확한 실시간 특성을 제공하기 위하여 사용자 수준 타이머의 관리도 제공하고 있다. 한편 ARX 의 핵심인 가살쓰레드와 개선된 스케줄링 이벤트 업콜 방식을 바탕으로 사용자 수준 쓰레드와 사용자 수준 스케줄러의 동기화를 제공하는 사용자 수준 동기화 도구를 구현하였다. 이러한 Pthread library를 사용한 응용프로그램의 timing anlysis의 결과는 ARX 의 뛰어난 실시간 처리 능력과 함께 다양한 실시간 응용 프로그램의 요구를 수용할 수 있음을 보여준다.

임베디드 시스템은 특정 목적을 수행하기 위해 설계된 시스템이며, 임베디드 운영체제는 실시간 운영체제 범용 운영체제로 나뉜다, 실시간 운영체제는 각 운영체제에서 각각의 API를 제공하기 때문에 응용프로그램 작성 시 API를 새로 익혀야 되는 단점이 있다. 범용 운영체제는 사용자에게 익숙한 POSIX API를 제공 하지만 커널 이미지 크기가 커서 센서와 같은 메모리가 작은 운영체제에는 이식하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보안하고 장점을 살리기 위해 컨포넌트화 하여 확장 및 재구성이 가능하도록 하고 POSIX 기반의 API를 제공하여 응용 프로그램 작성에 용의하도록 하는 KHIX 임베디드 시스템 운영체제를 설계 및 구현하고 고성능의 PXA255, 저성능의 ATmega128에 이식한 내용을 다룬다.

One of the fundamental requirements of entertainment applications is interactivity with users. The mobile device such as the smartphone, however, does not guarantee it due to the limit of the application processor's computing power, memory size and available electric power of the battery. This paper proposes a methodology to boost responsiveness of interactive applications by taking advantage of the parallel architecture of mobile devices which, for instance, have dual-core, quad-core or octa-core. To harness the multi-core architecture, it exploits the POSIX thread, a platform-independent thread library to be able to be used in various mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, etc. As a useful application example of the methodology, a heavy matrix calculation function was transformed to a parallelized version which showed around 2.5 ~ 3 times faster than the original version in a real-world usage environment.

As network technology advances, a larger number of devices are connected through the Internet. Recently, cloud storage services are gaining popularity, as they are convenient to access anytime and anywhere. Among cloud storage services, object storage is the representative one due to their characteristics of low cost, high availability, and high durability. One limitation of object storage services is that they can access data on the cloud only through the HTTP-based RESTful APIs. In our work, we resolve this limitation with the in-memory file system which provides a POSIX interface to the file system users and communicates with cloud object storages with RESTful APIs. In particular, our flush mechanism is compatible with existing file systems, as it is based on the swap mechanism of the Linux kernel. Our in-memory file system backed by cloud storage reduces the performance overheads and shows a better performance than S3QL by 57% in write operations. It also shows a comparable performance to tmpfs in read operations.
