Recently, in order to store and manage big data, research and development of a high-performance storage system capable of stably accessing large data have been actively conducted. In particular, storage systems in data centers and enterprise environments use large amounts of SSD (solid state disk) to manage large amounts of data. In general, SSD uses FTL(flash transfer layer) to hide the characteristics of NAND flash memory, which is a medium, and to efficiently manage data. However, FTL's algorithm has a limitation in using DRAM more to manage the location information of NAND where data is stored as the capacity of SSD increases. Therefore, this paper introduces FTL policies that apply virtual memory to reduce DRAM resources used in FTL. The virtual memory-based FTL policy proposed in this paper manages the map data by using LRU (least recently used) policy to load the mapping information of the recently used data into the DRAM space and store the previously used information in NAND. Finally, through experiments, performance and resource usage consumed during data write processing of virtual memory-based FTL and general FTL are measured and analyzed.

Various researches had been devoted in purpose of improving memory management in terms of performance, efficiency, ease of use, and safety. One of these approaches is a region-based memory management. Each allocation site selects a specific region, after that allocated objects are placed in this region. Memory is reclaimed by destroying the region, freeing all the objects allocated therein. In this paper, we propose reusing of local regions to reduce heap memory usage in memory-limited environments. The basic idea of this proposal is reusing of upper local regions where objects that are allocated to these regions are not accessed until the current method is finished. We believe our method of reusing local regions is able to overcome memory constraints in memory-limited environments.

In virtual memory system, when a process attempts to access a page that is not resident in memory, the system generates and handles a page fault that causes unpredictable delay. So virtual memory system is not appropriate for the real-time system, because it can increase the deadline miss ratio of real-time task. In multimedia system, virtual memory system may degrade the QoS(quality of service) of multimedia application. Furthermore, in general-purpose operating system, whenever a new task is dynamically loaded, virtual memory system suffers from extensive page fault that cause transient overloading state. In this paper, we present efficient overloading control mechanism called RBPFH (Rate-Based Page Fault Handling). A significant feature of the RBPFH algorithm is page fault dispersion that keeps page fault ratio from exceeding available bound by monitoring current system resources. Furthermore, whenever the amount of available system resource is changed, the RBPFH algorithm dynamically adjusts the page fault handling rate. The RBPFH algorithm is implemented in the Linux operating system and its performance measured. The results demonstrate RBPFH\`s superior performance in supporting multimedia applications. Experiment result shows that RBPFH could achieve 10%∼20% reduction in deadline miss ratio and 50%∼60% reduction in average delay.

To solve the large problems with limited core memory of computer, a disk management scheme called virtual memory database has been developed. Utilizing this technique along with memory moving scheme, an efficient in-and out-of-core column solver for the sparse symmetric matrix commonly arising in the finite element analysis is developed. Compared with other methods the algorithm is simple, therefore the coding and computational efficiencies are greatly enhanced. Analysis example shows that the proposed method efficiently solve the large structural problem on the small-memory micro-computer.

In this paper we design and implement a method for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. In this method we use extended memory and hard disk as a data buffer. And we use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows us some speed improvement for the application program.

Fileless malware uses memory injection attacks to hide traces of payloads to perform malicious works. During the memory injection attack, an attack named "process hollowing" is a method of creating paused benign process like system processes. And then injecting a malicious payload into the benign process allows malicious behavior by pretending to be a normal process. In this paper, we propose a method to detect the memory injection regardless of whether or not the malicious action is actually performed when a process hollowing attack occurs. The replication process having same execution condition as the process of suspending the memory injection is executed, the data set belonging to each process virtual memory area is compared using the fuzzy hash, and the similarity is calculated.

A virtual team is defined a group of people that use electronic communications for some or all of their interactions with other team members. Because team members of a virtual team are physically and temporally distributed, a team's transactive memory system(TMS) is considered to be crucial for the team's effectiveness and performance. TMS refers to a set of individual memory systems which integrate knowledge possessed by particular members through a shared awareness of who knows what. This paper seeks to understand (1) how a virtual team's TMS influences team performance, and (2) what factors contribute to developing the team's TMS. Given these purposes, through the extensive literature review, we first identified components and antecedents to develop a theoretical model that predicts a virtual team's performance. Using the survey data gathered from 172 virtual teams, this study found that expertise location, coordination, and cognition-based trust which were proposed as three components of TMS positively influenced a virtual team's performance. Furthermore, this study uncovered that perceived media richness, network tie strength, and shared norms significantly influenced the components of TMS, while geographical dispersion did not exert any significant influence on TMS.

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%.

On modern operating systems such as Linux, virtual memory is a general way to provide a large address space to applications by using main memory and storage devices. Recently, storage devices have been improved in terms of latency and bandwidth, and it is expected that applications with large memory show high-performance if next-generation storage devices are considered. However, due to the overhead of virtual memory subsystem, the paging system can not exploit the performance of next-generation storage devices. In this study, we propose several optimization techniques to extend memory with next-generation storage devices. The techniques are to allocate block addresses of storage devices for write-back operations as well as to configure the system parameters, and we implement the techniques on Linux 3.14.3. Our evaluation through using multiple benchmarks shows that our system has 3 times (/24%) better performance on average than the baseline system in the micro(/macro)-benchmark.

인간에게 경험이란 삶의 흔적이며 과정이다. 어떤 경험을 했는지, 느낌을 갖게 되었는지, 본적이 있는지, 만진 적이 있는지 등 다양한 인지 요소들은 그 기억만으로 그 인간의 특성이 되고 성질이 된다. 이러한 모든 경우를 재인이라고 한다. 이러한 기억 인출 단서들이 현존감이 강한 가상환경에서 발견되느냐, 발견되지 않느냐에 따라 미디어적 환상성이 아닌 사용자에게 가상에서의 '현실'을 제공하는 중요 요소로 작용할 것이다. 또한 가상현실 콘텐츠의 이해가 미숙한 사용자라도 가상환경에서 선행경험에 대한 재인요소를 제공받을 수 있는 중요한 단서가 될 수 있다면, 콘텐츠에 대한 높은 만족감을 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 가상현실 콘텐츠의 만족도를 올리는 요소로서, 재인에 대하여 고찰하고 개인의 재인과 가상현실 콘텐츠 만족과의 상관관계를 연구하여 양질의 콘텐츠 서비스를 제공하는데 기여하고 가상현실을 경험하는 사용자의 심리적인 영역까지 이해의 폭을 넓히고자 함이다.
