Zero-copy is a technology that is also called no-memory copy, and through its use, context switching between the user space and the kernel space can be reduced to minimize the load on the CPU. However, this technology is only used to transmit small random files, and has not yet been widely used for large file transfers. This paper intends to discuss the practical application of zero-copy in processing large files via a network. To this end, we first developed a small test bed and program that can transmit and store data based on zero-copy. Afterwards, we intend to verify the usefulness of the applied technology in detail through detailed performance evaluation

From the reciprocal connection by this Internet network researchs about the efficiency improvement of the whole system is accomplished with the method which reduces delays in message transmission. From here, we will do a comparative study between the user data program protocol (UDP) and the zero copy which does not use the buffer cache to fine out the valid method to improve the efficiency. In this thesis, I will change the message copy from execution process of the buffer cache of the TCP/IP on Unix OS with process on Linux OS. The object of conversion is to show you that the zero copy which doesn't use the buffer cache from transfer control class improves the communication efficiency.

APU(Accelerated Processing Unit)는 CPU와 GPU가 통합되어있는 프로세서이며 같은 메모리 공간을 사용한다. CPU와 GPU가 분리되어있는 기존 이종 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 GPU가 작업을 처리하기 위해 CPU에서 GPU로 메모리 복사가 이루어졌지만, APU는 같은 메모리 공간을 사용하므로 메모리 복사 없이 가상주소 할당으로 같은 물리 주소에 접근할 수 있으며 이를 Zero Copy라 한다. Zero Copy 성능을 테스트하기 위해 희소행렬 연산을 사용하였으며 기존 메모리 복사대비 크기가 큰 데이터는 약 4.67배, 크기가 작은 데이터는 약 6.27배 빨랐다.

PVM provides users with a single image of high performance parallel computing machine by collecting machines distributed over a network. Low communication overhead is essential to effectively run applications on PVM based platforms. In the original PVM, three times of memory copies are required for a PVM task to send a message to a remote task, which results in performance degradation. We propose a zero-copy model using global shared memory that can be accessed by PVM tasks, PVM daemon, and network interface card(NIC). In the scheme, a task packs data into global shared memory, and notify daemon that the data is ready to be sent, then daemon routes the data to a remote task to which it is sent with no virtual data copy overhead. Experimental result reveals that the message round trip time between two machines is reduced significantly in the proposed zero-copy scheme.

딥러닝의 대표적 개발 환경 중 하나인 Caffe를 임베디드 시스템의 메모리 구조를 고려하여 최적화하고 실제 측정 실험으로 기존의 방식보다 처리시간과 소비 전력량의 이득이 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 구체적으로 통합 메모리를 사용하는 임베디드 시스템 환경의 특성에 적합한 zero-copy기법을 적용하여 CPU와 GPU 모두 접근이 가능하도록 메모리 영역을 맵핑하는 방식으로 메모리 복제에 따른 오버헤드를 줄였으며, GoogLeNet 네트워크 모델에 대하여 10%의 처리 속도 향상과, 36% 소비 전력 감소를 확인하였다.

This paper presents the development and implementation of a zero-copy file transfer mechanism that improves the efficiency of file transfers for PC cluster systems using hardware-based VIA(Virtual Interface Architecture) network adapters. VIA is one of the representative user-level communication interfaces, but because there is no library for file transfer, one copy occurs between kernel buffer and user boilers. Our mechanism presents a file transfer primitive that does not require the file system to be modified and allows the NIC to transfer data from the kernel buffer to the remote node directly without copying. To do this, we have developed a hardware-based VIA network adapter, which supports the PCI 64bit/66MHz bus and Gigabit Ethernet, as a NIC, and implemented a zero-copy file transfer mechanism. The experimental results show that the overhead of data coy and context switching in the sender is greatly reduced and the CPU utilization of the sender is reduced to $30\%\~40\%$ of the VIA send/receive mechanism. We demonstrate the performance of the zero-copy file transfer mechanism experimentally. and compare the results with those from existing file transfer mechanisms.

This paper presents a novel version of an active voltage clamped ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs for electromagnetic induction eddy current-based rolling drum heating in new generation copy and printing machines in consumer business use. The operating principle of this inverter circuit and unique features are described herein. Its constant frequency duty cycle (asymmetrical PWM) controlled voltage source quasi-resonant soft switching high frequency inverter employing IGBTs is proposed, which is capable of achieving stable and efficient zero voltage soft switching commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The operating performances in a steady state of this inverter is discussed and evaluated on basis of simulation and experimental results as an induction heated roller in new generation copy machine.

This paper presents the voltage source type half bridge lossless auxiliary inductor snubber assisted series capacitor compensated resonant high frequency inverter for induction heated fixing roller in copy machines. This high-frequency inverter treated here can completely achieve zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation for wide power regulation range under its constant frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady-state operating principle is originally presented fur a constant frequency PDM control strategy under a ZCS operation commutation, together with its output effective power regulation characteristics-based on the PDM strategy. The experimental operating performances of this ZCS-PDM high frequency inverter using IGBTs are illustrated as compared with computer simulation ones. Its power losses and actual efficiency are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results.

네트워크 사용자의 급속한 증가로 네트워크 내의 부하를 감당하기에는 많은 어려움을 가져왔다. 이와 같은 이유로 기존의 TCP/IP에서 세션을 통하여 노드들 간의 통신을 연결하는 방식에서 현재는 하나의 채널을 통해 고속의 I/O가 가능하도록 하는 기술이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 대표적인 것으로 인피니밴드가 있다. 인피니밴드는 프로세싱 노드와 입출력 장치 사이의 통신, 프로세스간 통신에 대한 산업 표준이 되고 있고 프로세싱 노드와 입출력 장치를 연결하기 위해 스위치 기반의 상호 연결은 전통적인 버스 입출력을 대체하는 새로운 입출력 방식이 사용된다. 또한 인피니밴드에서는 현재 많은 이슈가 되고 있는 RDMA 방식을 이용해 원격지 서버들 간에 직접 메모리 접근 방식을 통해 CPU와 OS의 로드를 최소화하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RDMA를 적용한 새로운 채널 기반 네트웍의 프로토콜인 SDP(Socket Direct Protocol)를 구현하여 SDP_STREAM의 패킷 처리량에 대한 성능을 평가한다. 그리고 이에 대한 성능 평가를 위해서 Netperf 툴을 이용했다. 특히 Zero-Copy방식을 사용하지 않는 일반적인 소켓 API을 이용한 TCP_STREAM과 Zero-Copy방식을 이용한 SDP_STREAM의 패킷 처리량을 비교했으며 성능 평가 결과는 기존의 TCP_STREAM 패킷 처리량에 비해 약 3배 이상 향상된 결과를 나타냈다.

This paper presents the two lossless auxiliary inductors-assisted voltage source type half bridge (single ended push pull: SEPP) series resonant high frequency inverter for induction heated fixing roller in copy and printing machines. The simple high-frequency inverter treated here can completely achieve stable zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation for wide its output power regulation ranges and load variations under its constant high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady state operating principle is originally described and discussed for a constant high-frequency PDM control strategy under a stable ZCS operation commutation, together with its output effective power regulation characteristics-based on the high frequency PDM strategy. The experimental operating performances of this voltage source SEPP ZCS-PDM series resonant high frequency inverter using IGBTs are illustrated as compared with computer simulation results and experimental ones. Its power losses analysis and actual efficiency are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results. The feasible effectiveness of this high frequency inverter appliance implemented here is proved from the practical point of view.
