  • The NEA release mechanism is used to provide restraint and release functions with low shock for critical deployment operations on solar arrays after launch. The GK3 solar array consists of 2 wings and 6 hold down points per panel. The NEA SSD9103S1 is a part of the GK3 solar array hold-down and release mechanism. Each NEA unit is equipped with two Z-diodes which provide power to a NEA unit connected in series after actuation of the fuse wire. This paper presents the hot firing test results of a quadrature NEA SSD9103S1 configuration. One output powers a maximum of 4 NEA SSD9103S1 units simultaneously. The necessary actuation pulse duration has been determined to meet margin requirement for thermal energy of minimum 4. Actuation thermal energy difference is about 6.6% between each half of two fired serial NEAs. Thermal energy margin at worst case is minimum 5.9 in case of an actuation pulse duration of 500 ms. Two series Zener impedance depend on current applied has been characterized by an additional actuation after all fuse wires are open circuit. Total number of actuation commands to the GK3 NEA unit reduce drastically from 24 in case of single NEA configuration down to 8 in case of parallel and quadrature NEA configurations. It can be accommodated by the existing HP2U Pyro design without any impact.

  • I. Purpose In special cases of Total Body Irradiation(TBI), Half Body Irradiation(HBI), Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, E-Wing's sarcoma, lymphosarcoma and neuroblastoma a large field can be used clinically. The dose distribution of a large field can use the measurement result which gets from dose distribution of a small field (standard SSD 100cm, size of field under $40{\times}40cm2$) in the substitution which always measures in practice and it will be able to calibrate. With only the method of simple calculation, it is difficult to know the dose and its uniformity of actual body region by various factor of scatter radiation. II. Method & Materials In this study, using Multidata Water Phantom from standard SSD 100cm according to the size change of field, it measures the basic parameter (PDD,TMR,Output,Sc,Sp) From SSD 180cm (phantom is to the bottom vertically) according to increasing of a field, it measures a basic parameter. From SSD 350cm (phantom is to the surface of a wall, using small water phantom. which includes mylar capable of horizontal beam's measurement) it measured with the same method and compared with each other. III. Results & Conclusion In comparison with the standard dose data, parameter which measures between SSD 180cm and 350cm, it turned out there was little difference. The error range is not up to extent of the experimental error. In order to get the accurate data, it dose measures from anthropomorphous phantom or for this objective the dose measurement which is the possibility of getting the absolute value which uses the unlimited phantom that is devised especially is demanded. Additionally, it needs to consider ionization chamber use of small volume and stem effect of cable by a large field.

  • 낸드 플래시 메모리에서 가비지 콜렉션은 블록의 유효한 데이터들을 새로운 블록으로 옮기고 오래된 블록을 지우는 과정이다. 가비지 콜렉션에 의해 옮겨지는 페이지들은 작업의 양과 형태에 따라 오랫동안 유효한 페이지로 존재하기도 하고 그렇지 않은 경우도 있다. 본 논문에서는 반도체 디스크(Solid State Drive, 이하 SSD)에서 가비지 콜렉션이 비효율적으로 일어나는 경우를 정의하고 비효율적 가비지 콜렉션 과정으로 인한 비용을 줄이는 캐시 방출 기법을 소개한다. 이 기법을 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 작업 형태가 순차적일 때 LRU 캐시 알고리즘과 같이 사용되면 가비지 콜렉션에 의해 옮겨지는 페이지를 12%, 전체 쓰기 연산 횟수를 9%까지 줄일 수 있었고 블록 단위 LRU 알고리즘과 사용했을 때도 보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

  • 중복 제거(deduplication)기법은 저장장치의 공간을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있도록 해 주기 때문에 기존의 스토리지 시스템에서 많이 사용된 기법이다. 최근에는 플래시 메모리 기반의 SSD를 위한 중복 제거 기법도 많이 제안되었지만, 플래시 메모리의 특성을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 오프라인 중복 제거 기법을 대상으로 SSD의 특성을 고려하여 가비지 컬렉션의 비용을 절감할 수 있도록 중복 가능성이 있는 데이터와 중복 가능성이 없는 데이터를 온라인에 구분하여 플래시 메모리의 다른 영역에 기록하여 오프라인 중복 제거 후에 가비지 컬렉션 성능을 향상시키는 기법을 제안하였다. 실험결과, 제시된 기법은 가비지 컬렉션 비용인 페이지 이동 횟수를 약 80%이상 감소시켰다.

  • In 1967, as an answer to the question of P. Erdos on a set of integers having distinct subset sums, J. Conway and R. Guy constructed an interesting sequence of sets of integers. They conjectured that these sets have distinct subset sums and that they are close to the best possible with respect to the largest element. About 30 years later (in 1996), T. Bohman could prove that sets from the Conway-Guy sequence actually have distinct subset sums. In this paper, we generalize the concept of subset-sum-distinctness to k-SSD, the k-fold version. The classical subset-sum-distinct sets would be 1-SSD in our definition. We prove that similarly derived sequences as the Conway-Guy sequence are k-SSD.

  • An address voltage stabilization circuit for the single-side driving (SSD) method for AC plasma display panels (PDP) is proposed. The single-side driving method, which eliminates a common sustaining driver, uses only two electrodes in a three electrode AC PDP structure. The high-impedance (Hi-Z) mode operation of the data drive ICs during the sustaining period is needed for surface gas-discharge without misfiring in the SSD method but it produces the problem that the address voltage increases up to the breakdown voltage. The proposed circuit based on a flyback converter can stabilize the address voltage under the breakdown voltage and provide better surface gas-discharge performance without any misfiring in the SSD scheme.

  • Although there are many efficient techniques to minimize the speed gap between processor and the memory, it remains a bottleneck for various commercial implementations. Since secondary memory technologies are much slower than main memory, it is challenging to match memory speed to the processor. Usually, hard disk drives include semiconductor caches to improve their performance. A hit in the disk cache eliminates the mechanical seek time and rotational latency. To further improve performance a divided disk cache, subdivided between metadata and data, has been proposed previously. We propose a new algorithm to apply the SSD that is flash memory-based solid state drive by applying FTL. First, this paper evaluates the performance of such a disk cache via simulations using DiskSim. Then, we perform an experiment to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

  • 일반적으로 운영체제의 데이터 백업을 목적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 하드 디스크는 대역폭와 탐색시간이 매우 저조한 성능을 보이고 있어 저장 능력과 성능사이에 격차는 나날이 증가하고 있다는 단점이 있다. 반면에 플래시 메모리의 새로운 응용 분야로 주목을 받고 있는 SSD는 고정된 반도체에 자료를 저장하기 때문에 탐색 시간이 존재하지 않아 데이터에 접근하는 시간이 훨씬 빠르다는 이점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 하드 디스크에 비해 현저히 떨어지는 저장능력과 비경제적인 가격 등의 문제점으로 인해 하드 디스크를 완전히 대치하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 HFS(Hybrid File System)는 HDD와 SSD를 제안한다. HFS는 하드 디스크의 큰 저장능력과 SSD의 빠른 데이터 접근 속력 등의 각 디스크의 장점을 최대한으로 이용하여 데이터를 빠르게 처리할 수 있도록 고안 되었다.

  • Recently high-speed memory array based on RAM, which is a type of solid-state drive (SSD), has been introduced to handle the input/output (I/O) bottleneck. But there are only a few performance studies on RAM based SSD storage with regard to diverse workloads. In this paper, we focus on the file system for RAM based memory array based NGS (Next Generation Storage) system which is running on Linux operating system. Then we perform benchmark tests on practical file systems including Ext3, ReiserFS, XFS. The result shows XFS significantly outperforms other file systems in tests that represent the storage and data requests typically made by enterprise applications in many aspects. The experiment is used to design the dedicated file system for NGS system. The results presented here can help enterprises improve their performance significantly.

  • 오래전부터 바이오 정보 처리에 대한 관심은 매우 높았으며, 컴퓨터의 성능 발달에 따라 기존에 처리할 수 없었던 대용량 바이오 데이터의 처리가 가능해 지면서 바이오 컴퓨팅의 역할이 점차 커지고 있다. 보다 효과적인 바이오 컴퓨팅을 위해서는 빠른 데이터 처리 속도가 필수적이며 이를 위하여 근본적으로 컴퓨터의 데이터 처리 성능을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 각광받고 있는 SSD와 멀티코어 시스템을 이용하여 컴퓨터의 성능을 올려 대표적인 바이오 데이터의 처리 도구인 BLAST에 얼마나 효과적인지를 실험을 통하여 검증하고 그 가능성을 분석하였다. 또한 SSD에서의 바이오 데이터 최적화를 위하여 필요한 정보를 수집하고 사용 방안을 모색해보았다.
