SSD는 하드디스크와 다른 구조를 갖고 있으며, 단편화된 잦은 쓰기 연산에 취약하다는 점 등 기존의 환경과는 차이가 있기 때문에 이런 환경에서 발생하는 연산, 특히 I/O 연산에 대한 분석이 필수적이다. 기존의 I/O 연산 측정도구로 사용되던 벤치마크를 이용하여 SSD의 성능을 측정할 경우에는 상위단계에서의 읽기, 쓰기, 성능만 분석되기 어렵기 때문에 하위단계에서 실제로 SSD상의 I/O연산의 수행 성능을 정확히 측정하기 어렵다. SSD는 내부 저장 알고리즘의 효율성에 따라서 성능 차이가 크기 때문에 정확한 성능을 측정할 수 있는 분석 도구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SSD상에서의 I/O연산의 계층적 분석을 위한 모듈을 제안한다.

The aims are to evaluate the effects of an 1.0 cm acrylic plate and SSD on the dose profile and depth dose distribution of 9 MeV electron beam and to analyse adequacy for using an acrylic plate to reduce energy of electron beams. An acrylic plate of 1.0 cm thickness was used to reduce energy of 9 MeV electron beam to 7 MeV. The plate was put on an electron applicator at 65.4 cm distance from x-ray target. The size of the applicator was 10${\times}$l0cm at 100 cm SSD. For 100cm, l05cm and 110cm SSD, depth dose on beam axis and dose profiles at d$\_$max/ on two principal axes were measured using a 3D water phantom. From depth dose distributions, d$\_$max/, d$\_$85/, d$\_$50/ and R$\_$p/, surface dose, and mean energy and peak energy at surface were compared. From dose profiles flatness, penumbra width and actual field size were compared. For comparison, 9 MeV electron beams were measured. Surface dose of 7 MeV electron beams was changed from 85.5% to 82.2% increasing SSD from 100 cm to 110 cm, and except for dose buildup region, depth dose distributions were independent of SSD. Flatness of 7 MeV ranged from 4.7% to 10.4% increasing SSD, comparing 1.4% to 3.5% for 9 MeV. Penumbra width of 7 MeV ranged from 1.52 cm to 3.03 cm, comparing 1.14 cm to 1.63 cm for 9 MeV. Actual field size increased from 10.75 cm to 12.85 cm with SSD, comparing 10.32 cm to 11.46 cm for 9 MeV. Virtual SSD's of 7 and 9 MeV were respectively 49.8 cm and 88.5cm. In using energy reducer in electron therapy, depth dose distribution were independent of SSD except for buildup region as well as open field. In case of using energy reducer, increasing SSD made flatness to deteriorate more severely, penumbra width more wide, field size to increase more rapidly and virtual SSD more short comparing with original electron beam. In conclusion, it is desirable to use no energy reducer for electron beam, especially for long SSD.

이 논문에서는 Solid State Drives(SSD)의 구조적인 특성을 활용한 Native Command Queueing(NCQ) 스케줄링 기법을 제안하려 한다. SSD는 Hard Disk Drives(HDD)와 달리 접근시간이 매우 짧고, 읽기/쓰기 속도가 서로 다르다는 특성이 있다. 그리고 SSD 내부에는 HDD와 마찬가지로 버퍼캐시가 존재한다. 이런 특성들을 활용하여 커맨드가 처리되는데 걸리는 시간을 모델링할 수 있다. 이렇게 모델링한 처리시간을 짧은 순서대로 스케줄링 정책에 적용하여 응답속도를 개선할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 SSD 성능에 영향을 주는 특징(또는 특징 집합)을 평가하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 평가 방법은 기존 연구의 "두 응용프로그램에서 추출한 IO 트레이스들이 서로 유사한 IO 패턴을 갖을 때, 동일한 SSD 에서의 수행 시간은 유사하다"는 관찰에 기반한다. 이를 통하여 우리는 주어진 SSD 에서 후보 특징들을 평가하고, 가장 높은 평가를 받는 특징 집합을 확인한다.

NAND 플래시 메모리 기반의 Solid State Disk (SSD)의 내부에는 Flash Translation Layer (FTL)이라는 소프트웨어가 사용되고 있다. FTL은 파일 시스템으로부터 요청되는 논리 주소를 플래시 메모리의 물리 주소로 변환하며 이를 위하여 사상 테이블을 사용한다. 사상 테이블의 빠른 접근을 위하여 사상 테이블은 SSD 내부의 RAM에 유지하는데 SSD의 용량이 커지게 되면 사상 테이블로 인해 요구되는 RAM의 크기도 커지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 FTL의 사상 테이블을 페이지 단위로 나누어 필요할 때마다 RAM에 적재하는 다단계 사상 테이블 기법을 연구하였다.

HDD-based RAIDs have been used in high-capacity storage systems for traditional data server. However, their data reliability are relatively low and they consume lots of power since hard disk drive is weak on shock and its power consumption is high due to frequent spindle motor operation. Therefore, this paper presents new SSD based RAID system architecture using various erasure codes. The proposed methode applys Reed-Solomon, EVENODD, and Liberation coding schemes onto file system level and device driver level, respectively. Besides, it uses data allocation method to minimize the side effect of reducing the lifespan of SSD. Detail experimental results show that Liberation code increase wear-leveling rates of SSD based RAID-6 more than other codes. The SSD based RAID system applying erasure codes at the device driver level shows better performance than that at the file system level. I/O performance of RAID-6 system using SSD is 4.5%~8.5% higher than that of using HDD and the power consumption of the RAID system using SSD is 18%~40% less than that of using HDD.

SSD has a limitation of number of erase/write cycles and does not allow in-place update unlike the hard disk because SSD is composed of an array of NAND flash memory. Thus, FTL is used to effectively manage SSD of having different characteristics from traditional disk. FTL has page, block, log-block mapping method. Among then, when log-block mapping method such as BAST and FAST is used, the performance of SSD is degraded because frequent merge operations cause lots of pages to be copied and deleted. This paper proposes a data allocation and replacement method based on access frequency by allocating PRAM as checking area of access frequency, log blocks, storing region of hot data in SSD. The proposed method can enhance the performance and lifetime of SSD by storing cold data to flash memory and storing log blocks and frequently accessed data to PRAM and then reducing merge and erase operations. Besides, a data replacement method is used to increase utilization of PRAM which has limitation of capacity. The experimental results show that the ratio of erase operations of the proposed method is 46%, 38% smaller than those of BAST and FAST and the write performance of the proposed method is 34%, 19% higher than those of BAST and FAST, and the read performance of the proposed method is 5%, 3% higher than those of BAST and FAST, respectively.

If the System is downed by computer or disasters, it can have a bad influence on the reliability of the corporation and business continuity because all companies are computerized. Accordingly, interest on the business continuity without the loss of data in the corporate is increasing. In this paper, system faults have been defined as physical faults and logical faults and CDP solution using Flash SSD has been proposed for enhancing IOPS which is needed for realtime-backup. In order to measure IOPS performance of the CDP using Flash SSD, we constructed an experimental system. From the results we can see that IOPS performance of CDP using Flash SSD is about 50 times more effective than that of the S-ATA.

SSD(Solide State Disk) Memory is gradually replacing HDD(Hard Disk Drive) for high speed data input and output processing on Internet server system. In this paper, we proposed efficient data distribution storage algorithm in DRAM based SSD. And we did performance test for proposed algorithm and existing algorithm in the same server environment condition. The result of comparison of performance test is as fellows. Data backup processing time of proposed algorithm was reduced by half than that of existing algorithm.
