  • Recently NAND flash memory has been found to be the primary cause of low performance in the smart device. NAND flash memory is different from each other the execution time of I/O operations that flash file system is required. Therefore, it is necessary to compare and analyze the flash file system I/O performance for the efficient I/O on smart device. In this paper, it was tested and analyzing the I/O performance of the YAFFS2, JFFS2, UBIFS. Experimental results most read I/O performance is good, but the writing I/O performance is not good. For UBIFS, showed a more good I/O performance compared to other flash file system.

  • OneNAND flash is a high-performance hybrid flash memory that combines the advantages of both NAND flash and NOR flash. OneNAND flash has not only all virtues of NAND flash but also greatly enhanced read performance which is considered as a downside of NAND flash. As a result, it is widely used in mobile applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, PMP, and portable game players. However, most of the general purpose operating systems, such as Linux, can not exploit the read performance of OneNAND flash because of the restrictions imposed by their virtual memory system and block I/O architecture. In order to solve that problem, we suggest a new approach called virtual I/O segment. By using virtual I/O segment, the superior read performance of OneNAND flash can be exploited without modifying the existing block I/O architecture and MTD subsystem. Experiments by implementations show that this approach can reduce read latency of OneNAND flash as much as 54%.

This paper was started from NAND Flash Memory can not be replaced by HDD because of high cost. So We consider that using NAND Flash Memory as cache for HDD. It can be achieved high HDD Performance through Filter Driver by low cost.

  • With the recent trend to construct high-rise and large buildings, the steel structure system is widely used, but there are not enough studies on the vibration characteristics of the iFLASH system on the buildings. Therefore, in this study, we performed a vibration measurement of the natural frequency and damping ratio in the stage of iFLASH panel, composit, frame completion and cladding completion. The result findings suggest that the damping ratio after the cladding completion has a greater effect on the reduction of the damping ratio, than the stage after the frame completion.

  • In this paper, we propose a scheduling scheme that can efficiently serve I/O requests having deadlines in flash storage. The I/O requests with deadlines, namely, real-time requests, are assumed to be issued for streaming services of continuous media. Since a Web-based streaming server commonly supports downloads of HTMLs or images, we also aim to quickly process non-real-time I/O requests, together with real-time ones. For this purpose, we adopt the well-known rate-reservation EDF (RR-EDF) algorithm for determining scheduling priorities among mixed I/O requests. In fact, for the use of an EDF-style algorithm, overhead of task's switching should be low and predictable, as with its application of CPU scheduling. In other words, the EDF algorithm is inherently unsuitable for scheduling I/O requests in HDD storage because of highly varying latency times of HDD. Unlike HDD, time for reading a block in flash storage is almost uniform with respect to its physical location. This is because flash storage has no mechanical component, differently from HDD. By capitalizing on this uniform block read time, we compute bandwidth utilization rates of real-time requests from streams. Then, the RR-EDF algorithm is applied for determining how much storage bandwidth can be assigned to non-real-time requests, while meeting deadlines of real-time requests. From this, we can improve the service times of non-real-time requests, which are issued for downloads of static files. Because the proposed scheme can expand flexibly the scheduling periods of streams, it can provide a full usage of slack times, thereby improving the overall throughput of flash storage significantly.

  • There are two major type of flash memory products, namely, NAND-type and NOR-type flash memory. NOR-type flash memory is generally deployed as ROM BIOS code storage because if offers Byte I/O and fast read operation. However, NOR-type flash memory is more expensive than NAND-type flash memory in terms of the cost per byte ratio, and hence NAND type flash memory is more widely used as large data storage such as embedded Linux file systems. In this paper, we designed an efficient flash memory file system based an Embedded system and presented to make up for reduced to Swapping a weak System Performance to flash file system using NAND-type flash memory, then proposed Swapping algorithm insured to an Execution time. Based on Implementation and simulation studies, Then, We improved performance bases on NAND-type flash memory to the requirement of the embedded system.

  • NAND Flash Memory has been used in several devices by low cost and high capacity, and the demand for mass NAND Flash Memory has increased due to the multimedia extension of mobile devices. The JFFS2, NILFS2, and YAFFS2 file systems are used mainly in NAND Flash Memory. In this paper, the performance of Sequential read/write of the 3 file systems are analyzed for the 4 I/O schedulers : CFQ(Complete Fair Queuing) I/O scheduler, NOOP(No Operation) I/O scheduler, Anticipatory I/O scheduler, and Deadline I/O scheduler. In JFFS2 file system, Anticipatory I/O scheduler has the best performance by 8% decreasing speed in writing time and 1.5% decreasing speed in reading time compared to the other I/O scheduler. In YAFFS2 file system, it results are similar to performance in reading and writing for the 4 I/O schedulers. In NILFS2 file system, NOOP I/O scheduler has 2% faster in writing and Deadline I/O scheduler has 6% faster in reading than other I/O schedulers.

  • The flash points of flammable liquids are a fundamental and important property relative to fire and explosion hazards. A new estimation method, based on statistics (mutiple regression analysis), is being developed for the prediction of flash points of pure flammable liquids by means of computer simulation. This method has been applied to alcohol liquids. The proposed method has proved to be the general method for predicting the flash points of alcohol liquids.
