Recently, with the recent rapid development of memory technology, various types of memory are developed and are used to improve processing speed in data management systems. In particular, NAND flash memory is used as a main media for storing data in memory-based storage devices because it has a nonvolatile characteristic that it can maintain data even at the power off state. However, since the recently studied memory-based storage device consists of various types of memory such as MRAM and PRAM as well as NAND flash memory, research on memory management technology is needed to improve data processing performance and efficiency of media in a storage system composed of different types of memories. In this paper, we propose a memory mapping scheme thought technique for efficiently managing data in the storage device composed of various memories for data management. The proposed idea is a method of managing different memories using a single mapping table. This method can unify the address scheme of data and reduce the search cost of data stored in different memories for data tiering.

In the recent, due to explosion of Digital Universe, the performance of computer and storage system is reducing. Therefore, the upgrade and capacity expansion needs is growing. Countermeasure for this problem is required fundamental and long-term solutions rather than piecemeal expansion. In this paper, we establish a data management policy for an enterprise through the operational status of storage system and the analysis of data value of it, and implement ILM-based tiered storage system on the basis of these. The results of this study shows the overall throughput was improved about 21% compared to the existing system, it is very effective to maintain continuous quality and reduce operating costs in the long term aspect.

ML/DL과 같은 AI의 연구가 HPC 환경에서 수행되면서 데이터 병렬화, 분산 학습 및 대규모 데이터 세트를 처리를 위한 요구사항이 급격히 증가하였다. 또한, 병렬처리 연산에 특화된 가속기 기반 이기종 아키텍처 환경 변화로 I/O 처리에 고대역폭, 저지연의 스토리지 기술을 필요로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고집적의 병렬 컴퓨팅 환경에 고성능 HPC, AI 애플리케이션을 처리하기 위한 티어링 스토리지 기술을 논한다. 나아가 실제 고성능 NVMe 기반의 플래시 티어링 계층 구성에서 액세스 패턴에 따른 데이터 처리 환경을 구축하고 성능을 검증한다. 이로써 다양한 사용자 어플리케이션의 I/O 패턴을 특성에 맞게 지원할 수 있다.

Application launch time is an important performance metric to user experience in desktop and laptop environment, which mostly depends on the performance of secondary storage. Application launch times can be reduced by utilizing solid-state drive (SSD) instead of hard disk drive (HDD). However, considering a cost-performance trade-off, utilizing SSDs as caches for slow HDDs is a practicable alternative in reducing the application launch times. We propose a new SSD caching scheme which migrates data blocks from HDDs to SSDs. Our scheme operates entirely in the file system level and does not require an extra layer for mapping SSD-cached data that is essential in most other schemes. In particular, our scheme does not incur mapping overheads that cause significant burdens on the main memory, CPU, and SSD space for mapping table. Experimental results conducted with 8 popular applications demonstrate our scheme yields 56% of performance gain in application launch, when data blocks along with metadata are migrated.
