Client-side attacks including drive-by download target vulnerabilities in client applications that interact with a malicious server or process malicious data. A typical client-side attack is web-based one related to a malicious web page exploiting specific browser vulnerability that can execute mal ware on the client system (PC) or give complete control of it to the malicious server. To defend those attacks, this paper has constructed high interaction client honeypot system using Capture-HPC that adopts execution-based detection in virtual machine. We have detected and classified malicious web pages using the system. We have also analyzed the system's performance in terms of the number of virtual machine images and the number of browsers executed simultaneously in each virtual machine. Experimental results show that the system with one virtual machine image obtains better performance with less reverting overhead. The system also shows good performance when the number of browsers executed simultaneously in a virtual machine is 50.

Supercomputers are used for many different areas including new product design of industries as well as state-of-the-art science and technology for large amount of computational needs. Tachyon is a 4th supercomputer built at KISTI that is a high-performance parallel computing system with 3,200 computing nodes and infrastructures. This system is currently about 10,000 users and over 170 organizations are used, the number of jobs they are performing work in batch type form through a scheduler. Also, this system logs lots of job scripts, execution environment, library, job status from the job submit to end. In this paper, we analyzed batch jobs information from Sun Grid Engine, that use as a scheduler in Tachyon system, and job executed information in Tachyon System. In particular, we distinguished the fail jobs from the all tasks that users perform and we analyzed the cause of failure. Among them, we can extracted some of jobs that can be regarded as normal jobs through the improvement in those works logged as all of fail jobs.

Many researchers have discussed on a policy establishment to revitalize a regional industry of a domestic ecosystem. However, it is rare to consider activation measures and priorities that are appropriate for local characteristics. Therefore, this study conducted a qualitative study to gather and analyze the views of expert groups in order to derive measures to revitalize the automobile industry in Gwangju. We examined the current status of the automobile industry in Gwangju based on a literature survey and in-depth interviews and what kind of crisis there is. We then derive strategic candidates for activation measures to address this. In addition, the relative importance and priorities of the methods derived using AHP techniques were identified. This leads to five strategies on which methods should be applied first. This will be used as the basis for future strategy development.

General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit (GPGPU) computing is a technique that utilizes the high-performance many-core processors of high-end graphic cards for general-purpose computations such as 3D graphics, video/image processing, computer vision, scientific computing, HPC and many more. GPGPUs offer a vast amount of raw computing power, but programming is extremely challenging because of hardware idiosyncrasies. The open computing language (OpenCL) has been proposed as a vendor-independent GPGPU programming interface. OpenCL is very close to the hardware and thus does little to increase GPGPU programmability. In this paper we present how a set of digital camera image signal processing (ISP) filters can be realized efficiently on GPGPUs using OpenCL. Although we found ISP filters to be memory-bound computations, our GPGPU implementations achieve speedups of up to a factor of 64.8 over their sequential counterparts. On GPGPUs, our proposed optimizations achieved speedups between 145% and 275% over their baseline GPGPU implementations. Our experiments have been conducted on a Geforce GTX 275; because of OpenCL we expect our optimizations to be applicable to other architectures as well.

The workloads of large high-performance computing (HPC) scientific applications are steadily becoming "bursty" due to variable resource demands throughout their execution life-cycles. However, the over-provisioning of virtual resources for optimal performance during execution remains a key challenge in the scheduling of scientific HPC applications. While over-provisioning of virtual resources guarantees peak performance of scientific application in virtualized environments, it results in increased amounts of idle resources that are unavailable for use by other applications. Herein, we proposed a memory resource reconfiguration approach that allows the quick release of idle memory resources for new applications in OS-level virtualized systems, based on the applications resource-usage pattern profile data. We deployed a scientific workflow application in Docker, a light-weight OS-level virtualized system. In the proposed approach, memory allocation is fine-tuned to containers at each stage of the workflows execution life-cycle. Thus, overall memory resource utilization is improved.

In this study, we develop MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization for multibody peridynamic simulations. Peridynamics is suitable for analyzing complicated dynamic fractures and various discontinuities. However, compared with a conventional finite element method, nonlocal interactions in peridynamics cost more time and memory. In multibody peridynamic analysis, the costs increase due to the additional interactions that occur when computing the nonlocal contact and ghost interlayer models between adjacent bodies. The costs become excessive when further refinement and smaller time steps are required in cases of high-velocity impact fracturing or similar instances. Thus, high computational efficiency and performance can be achieved by parallelization and optimization of multibody peridynamic simulations. The analytical code is developed using an Intel Fortran MPI compiler and OpenMP in NURION of the KISTI HPC center and parallelized through MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization. Further parallelization is conducted by hybridizing with OpenMP threads in each MPI process. We also try to minimize communication operations by model-based decomposition of MPI processes. The numerical results for the impact fracturing of multiple bodies show that the computing performance improves significantly with MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization.

To enable high-performance computing (HPC) for applications with large datasets using a $Sony^{(R)}$ $PLAYSTATION^{(R)}$ 3 ($PS3^{TM}$) video game console, we configured a hybrid system consisting of a $Windows^{(R)}$ PC and a $PS3^{TM}$. To validate this system, we implemented the real-time multiplet identifier (RTMI) application, which identifies multiplets of microearthquakes in terms of the similarity of their waveforms. The cross-correlation computation, which is a core algorithm of the RTMI application, was optimised for the $PS3^{TM}$ platform, while the rest of the computation, including data input and output remained on the PC. With this configuration, the core part of the algorithm ran 69 times faster than the original program, accelerating total computation speed more than five times. As a result, the system processed up to 2100 total microseismic events, whereas the original implementation had a limit of 400 events. These results indicate that this system enables high-performance computing for large datasets using the $PS3^{TM}$, as long as data transfer time is negligible compared with computation time.

Dark matter is barely known because it cannot be explained using the Standard Model. In addition, dark matter has not been detected yet. It is currently being explored through various ways. In this paper, we studied dark matter in an electron-positron collider using MadGraph5. The signal channel is e⁺e^- → 𝜇⁺𝜇^-A' where A' decays to dimuon. We studied the cross-section by increasing the center-of-mass energy. Central processing unit (CPU) time of simulation was compared with that using a local Linux machine and a KISTI-5 supercomputer (Knight Landing and Skylake). Furthermore, one or more cores were used for comparing CPU time among machines. Results of this study will enable the exploration of dark matter in electron-positron experiments. This study also serves as a reference for optimizing high-energy physics simulation toolkits.
