In this paper, we propose a performance isolation of shared space for virtualized SSD based storage systems, to solve the weakness in a VSSD framework. The proposed scheme adopts a CFQ scheduler and a shared space-based FTL for the fairness and the performance isolation for multiple users on virtualized SSD based storage systems. Using the CFQ scheduler, we ensure SLOs for the storage systems such as a service time, a allocated space, and a IO latency for users on the virtualized storage systems. In addition, to improve a throughput and reduce a computational latency for garbage collection, a shared space-based FTL is adopted to maintain the information of SLOs for users and it manages shared spaces among the users. In our experiments, the proposal improved the throughput of garbage collection by 7.11%, on average, and reduced the computational latency for garbage collection by 9.63% on average, compared to the previous work.

Avionic databuses fulfill a critical function in the connection and communication of aircraft components and functions such as flight-control, navigation, and monitoring. Ethernet-based avionic databuses have become the mainstream for large aircraft owning to their advantages of full-duplex communication with high bandwidth, low latency, low packet-loss, and low cost. As a new generation aviation network communication standard, avionics full-duplex switched ethernet (AFDX) adopted concepts from the telecom standard, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In this technology, the switches are the key devices influencing the overall performance. This paper reviews the avionic databus with emphasis on the switch architecture classifications. Based on a comparison, analysis, and discussion of the different switch architectures, we propose a new avionic switch design based on a time-division switch fabric for high flexibility and scalability. This also merges the design concept of space-partition switch fabric to achieve reliability and predictability. The new switch architecture, called space partitioned shared memory switch (SPSMS), isolates the memory space for each output port. This can reduce the competition for resources and avoid conflicts, decrease the packet forwarding latency through the switch, and reduce the packet loss rate. A simulation of the architecture with optimized network engineering tools (OPNET) confirms the efficiency and significant performance improvement over a classic shared memory switch, in terms of overall packet latency, queuing delay, and queue size.

Advances in VLSI technology have brought us completely new design principles for the high-performance switching fabrics including ATM switches. From a practical point of view, port scalability of ATM switches emerges as an important issue while complexity and performance of the switches have been major issues in the switch design. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective approach to modular ATM switch design which provides the good scalability. Taking advantages of both time-division and space-division switch architectures, we propose a practically implementable large scale ATM switch architecture. We present a scalable shared buffer type switch for a building block and its expansion method. In our design, a large scale ATM switch is realized by interconnecting the proposed shared buffer switches in three stages. We also present an efficient control mechanism of the shared buffers, synchronization method for the switches in each stage, and a flow control between stages. It is believed that the proposed approach will have a significant impact on both improving the ATM switch performance and enhancing the scalability of the switch with a new cost-effective scheme for handling the traffic congestion. We show that the proposed ATM switch provides an excellent performance and that its cell delay characteristic is comparable to output queueing which provides the best performance in cell delay among known approaches.

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.

In Distributed Shared Memory systems, false sharing occurs when two different data items, not shared but accessed by two different processors, are allocated to a single block and is an important factor in degrading system performance. The paper first analyzes shared memory allocation and reference patterns in parallel applications that allocate memory for shared data objects using a dynamic memory allocator. The shared objects are sequentially allocated and generally show different reference patterns. If the objects with the same size are requested successively as many times as the number of processors, each object is referenced by only a particular processor. If the objects with the same size are requested successively much more than the number of processors, two or more successive objects are referenced by only particular processors. On the basis of these analyses, we propose a memory allocation scheme which allocates each object requested by different processors to different pages and evaluate the existing memory allocation techniques for reducing false sharing faults. Our allocation scheme reduces a considerable amount of false sharing faults for some applications with a little additional memory space.

This paper provides a thorough study on shared segment protection (SSP) for mesh communication networks in the complete routing information scenario, where the integer linear program (ILP) in [1] is extended such that the following two constraints are well addressed: (a) The restoration time constraint for each connection request, and (b) the switching/merging capacity constraint at each node. A novel approach, called SSP algorithm, is developed to reduce the extremely high computation complexity in solving the ILP formulation. Basically, our approach is to derive a good approximation on the parameters in the ILP by referring to the result of solving the corresponding shared path protection (SPP) problem. Thus, the design space can be significantly reduced by eliminating some edges in the graphs. We will show in the simulation that with our approach, the optimality can be achieved in most of the cases. To verify the proposed formulation and investigate the performance impairment in terms of average cost and success rate by the additional two constraints, extensive simulation work has been conducted on three network topologies, in which SPP and shared link protection (SLP) are implemented for comparison. We will demonstrate that the proposed SSP algorithm can effectively and efficiently solve the survivable routing problem with constraints on restoration time and switching/merging capability of each node. The comparison among the three protection types further verifies that SSP can yield significant advantages over SPP and SLP without taking much computation time.

A large part of the embedded system, compared with the PC, have low performance CPU and small memory. So the embedded operating system fits the condition of that hardware system. A Single Address Space (SAS) OS has the operating system and all applications in the single address space. The SAS architecture enhances sharing and co-operation, because addresses have a unique interpretation. Thus, pointer-based date structures can be directly communicated and shared between programs at any time, and can be stored directly on storage. The key point of the SAS OS on the embedded system is the low overhead inter-action between programs in process and usage. So SAS OS can be ported on the low performance CPU. In this paper, we design the SAS OS (named emNOS, Embedded Network Operating System) on the ARMTTDMI processor. Finally we show the benefits of the SAS OS on the embedded system.

In this paper, we carry out a performance analysis of a two-user free-space optical (FSO) communication system with photodetector multiplexing, in which the two users are defined as the primary user (PU) and secondary user (SU). Unlike common single-user FSO systems, our photodetector multiplexing FSO system deploys a shared detector at the receiver and enables PU and SU to send their own data synchronously. We conduct the performance analysis of this FSO system for two cases: (1) in the absence of background radiation, and (2) in the presence of background radiation. Decision strategies for PU and SU are presented according to the two scenarios above. Exact and approximate conditional symbol-error probability (SEP) expressions for both PU and SU are derived, in an ideal channel with no fading. Average SEP expressions are also presented in the no-background-radiation scenario. Additionally, in some particular cases where the power ratio tends to 0.5 or 1, approximate SEP expressions are also obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are presented under different conditions, to support the performance analysis.
