SSD (Solid-State Drives)는 고성능, 저전력, 내구성과 경량 등의 특징을 가지고 있어 빠른 속도로 하드 디스크를 대체하고 있다. SSD는 하드디스크와 같은 블록 저장장치로 에뮬레이트하는 계층인 FTL(Flash Translation Layer) 을 가지고 있다. 가비지 컬렉션(Garbage Collection)은 FTL의 주요한 기능으로서 SSD의 수명과 성능에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 그러나 아직까지 새로운 알고리즘을 검증하기 위한 사실상의 표준이 없는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 트레이스 기반의 오프라인 최적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 언제나 최소 횟수의 지우기 연산을 보장한다. 추가적으로 본 논문에서는 TPC 트레이스를 사용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 유효성에 대해 검증하였다.

Recently, the use of NAND flash memory is being increased as a secondary device to displace conventional magnetic disk. NAND flash memory, as one among non-volatile memories, has many advantages such as low power, high reliability, low access latency, and so on. However, NAND flash memory has disadvantages such as erase-before-write, unbalanced operation speed, and limited P/E cycles, unlike conventional magnetic disk. To solve these problems, NAND flash memory mainly adopted FTL (Flash Translation Layer). In particular, garbage collection technique in FTL tried to improve the system lifetime. However, previous garbage collection techniques have a sensitive property of the system lifetime according to write pattern. To solve this problem, we propose BSGC (Balanced Selection-based Garbage Collection) technique. BSGC efficiently selects a victim block using all intervals from the past information to the current information. In this work, SFL (Search First linked List), as the proposed block allocation policy, prolongs the system lifetime additionally. In our experiments, SFL and BSGC prolonged the system lifetime about 12.85% on average and reduced page migrations about 22.12% on average. Moreover, SFL and BSGC reduced the average response time of 16.88% on average.

This Design research is a design of rescue equipment combined with beach garbage can for prompt rescue at the time of the accident in water. As a usual, it is used as garbage can hanging a garbage bag on the holders located in both sides, and it can be used to rescue drowning men promptly taking out a rescue tube located inside of the equipment at the time of the accident in water. Support is consisted of beach one, wall-hanging one and pipe one, and it could be installed to match the situation because it can be combined with all main frames. As a usual, it is used as garbage can in seaside, but it can be used to rescue drowning men promptly taking out a rescue tube after pulling the handle located in front of main frame at the time of the accident in water, and it can be used to pull drowning men out of the water because rope is kept in rescue tube.

In this paper, we propose BCMR (Block Classification with Monitor and Restriction) to ensure the isolation and to reduce the interference of blocks between a garbage collection and a wear leveling. The proposed BCMR monitors an endurance variation of blocks during the garbage collection and detects hot blocks by making a restriction condition based on this information. The proposal induces a block classification by its update frequency for the garbage collection and the wear leveling, so we will get a prolonged lifetime of NAND flash memory systems. In a performance evaluation, BCMR prolonged the lifetime of NAND flash memory systems by 3.95%, on average and reduced a standard deviation per block by 7.4%, on average.

NAND flash memory has widely been used because of non-volatility, low power consumption and fast access time. However, it suffers from inability to provide update-in-place and the erase cycle is limited. The unit of read/write operation is a page and the unit of erase operation is a block. Moreover erase operation is slower than other operations. We proposed the Adaptive Garbage Collection (called "AGC") policy which focuses on not only reducing garbage collection process time for real-time guarantee but also wear-leveling for a flash memory lifetime. The AGC performs better than Cost-benefit policy and Greedy policy. But the AGC does not consider the operation characteristics. So we proposed the Advanced Adaptive Garbage Collection (called "A-AGC") policy which considers the page write operation count and block erase operation count. The A-AGC reduces the write operations by considering the data update frequency and update data size. Also, it reduces the erase operations by considering the file fragmentation. We implemented the A-AGC policy and measured the performance compared with the AGC policy. Simulation results show that the A-AGC policy performs better than AGC, specially for append operation.

영상 인페인팅(image inpainting)이란 입력 영상에 훼손되거나 빈 영영이 존재할 경우 이 영역을 자연스럽게 채워 영상을 복원해내는 영상처리 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 예제 기반(exemplar-based) 영상 인페인팅의 단점 중 하나인 텍스쳐 가비지(texture garbage)의 생성을 억제할 수 있는 새로운 영상 인페인팅 기법을 제시한다. 기존 기법과 달리 영상의 텍스쳐는 통계적으로 정적(stationary)이라는 가정 하에 정적인 소스 패치만을 후보 패치로 샘플링 한다. 이를 통해 주변 신호와 일치하지 않는 신호인 텍스쳐 가비지가 타겟 영역에 복사되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안 기법을 이용한 텍스쳐 합성이 기존 기법에 비해 더욱 자연스러운 영상 인페인팅 결과를 생성함을 확인한다.

NAND flash memory-based SSD needs an internal software, Flash Translation Layer(FTL) to provide traditional block device interface to the host because of its physical constraints, such as erase-before-write and large erase block. However, because useful host-side information cannot be delivered to FTL through the narrow block device interface, SSDs suffer from a variety of problems such as increasing garbage collection overhead, large tail-latency, and unpredictable I/O latency. Otherwise, the new type of SSD, open-channel SSD exposes the internal structure of SSD to the host so that underlying NAND flash memory can be managed directly by the host-level FTL. Especially, I/O data classification by using host-side information can achieve the reduction of garbage collection overhead. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to reduce garbage collection overhead of open-channel SSD by separating the journal from other file data for the journaling filesystem. Because journal has different lifespan with other file data, the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) caused by garbage collection can be reduced. The proposed scheme is implemented by modifying the host-level FTL of Linux and evaluated with both Fio and Filebench. According to the experiment results, the proposed scheme improves I/O performance by 46%~50% while reducing the WAF of open-channel SSDs by more than 33% compared to the previous one.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid wear leveling technique for NAND Flash memory, called Time-Aware Wear Leveling (TAWL). Our proposal prolongs the lifetime of NAND Flash memory by using dynamic wear leveling technique which considers the wear level of hot blocks as well as static wear leveling technique which considers the wear level of the whole blocks. TAWL also reduces the overhead of garbage collection by separating hot data and cold data using update frequency rate. We showed that TAWL enhanced the lifetime of NAND flash memory up to 220% compared with previous wear leveling techniques and our technique also reduced the number of copy operations of garbage collections by separating hot and cold data up to 45%.

Java virtual machine has the garbage collector that automate memory management. Mark-compact algorithm is one of the garbage collection algorithm that operating in 2 phases, marking and sweeping. One is Marking is marking live objects reachable from root object set. Sweeping is sweeping unmarked object from memory(return to free memory pool). This algorithm is easy to implement but cause a memory fragmentation. So compacting memory, before memory defragmentation become serious. When compacting memory, all other processes are suspended. It is critical for embedded system that must guarantee real-time processing. This paper introduce enhanced mark-compact garbage collection algorithm. Grouping the objects by their size that minimize memory fragmentation. Then apply smart algorithm to the grouped objects when allocating objects and compacting memory.

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.
