  • 임베디드 시스템의 성능이 향상됨에 따라, 이러한 시스템에서의 소모전력을 줄이기위해 다양한 분야에서 연구되어왔다. 그 중에서도, DVS는 마이크로 프로세서의 소모전력을 줄이기 위한 가장 효율적인 기술 중 하나이다. 하지만 DVS는 하드웨어 특성상 오버헤드가 존재하며, 대부분의 연구에서는 이러한 오버헤드를 고려하지 않고 진행되었다. 본 연구는 시스템의 워크로드를 요구 주파수 관점에서 해석하여 매 단위 시간마다 요구 주파수 간의 관계를 확률 모델을 적용하여 해석하고자 했다.

  • Intelligent systems(i.e., artificial intelligence), particularly deep learning, are machines able to mimic the cognitive functions of humans to perform tasks of problem-solving and learning. This field deals with computational models that can think and act intelligently, like the human brain, and construct algorithms that can learn from data to make predictions. Artificial intelligence is becoming important in radiology due to its ability to detect abnormalities in radiographic images that are unnoticed by the naked human eye. These systems have reduced radiologists' workload by rapidly recording and presenting data, and thereby monitoring the treatment response with a reduced risk of cognitive bias. Intelligent systems have an important role to play and could be used by dentists as an adjunct to other imaging modalities in making appropriate diagnoses and treatment plans. In the field of maxillofacial radiology, these systems have shown promise for the interpretation of complex images, accurate localization of landmarks, characterization of bone architecture, estimation of oral cancer risk, and the assessment of metastatic lymph nodes, periapical pathologies, and maxillary sinus pathologies. This review discusses the clinical applications and scope of intelligent systems such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning programs in maxillofacial imaging.

  • Since large objects consume substantial resources, web proxy caching incurs a fundamental trade-off between performance (i.e., hit-ratio and latency) and overhead (i.e., resource usage), in terms of caching and relaying large objects to users. This paper investigates how and to what extent the current dedicated-server based web proxy caching scheme is affected by large file transfers in a high bandwidth campus network environment. We use a series of trace-based performance analyses and profiling of various resource components in our experimental squid proxy cache server. Large file transfers often overwhelm our cache server. This causes a bottleneck in a web network, by saturating the network bandwidth of the cache server. Due to the requests for large objects, response times required for delivery of concurrently requested small objects increase, by a factor as high as a few million, in the worst cases. We argue that this cache bandwidth bottleneck problem is due to the fundamental limitations of the current centralized web proxy caching model that scales poorly when there are a limited amount of dedicated resources. This is a serious threat to the viability of the current web proxy caching model, particularly in a high bandwidth access network, since it leads to sporadic disconnections of the downstream access network from the global web network. We propose a peer-to-peer cooperative web caching scheme to address the cache bandwidth bottleneck problem. We show that it performs the task of caching and delivery of large objects in an efficient and cost-effective manner, without generating significant overheads for participating peers.

  • 최근 처리기와 입출력 시스템의 속도 차이가 점점 커짐에 따라 버퍼 캐쉬의 효율적인 관리가 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 버퍼 캐쉬는 블록 교체 정책과 선반입 정책에 의해 관리되며, 각 정책은 버퍼 캐쉬에서 블록의 가치 즉 어떤 블록이 더 가까운 미래에 참조될 것인가를 결정해야 한다. 블록의 가치는 응용들의 블록 참조 패턴의 특성에 기반하며, 블록 참조 패턴의 특성에 대한 정확한 분석은 올바른 결정을 가능하게 하여 버퍼 캐쉬의 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문은 각 응용들의 블록 참조 패턴에 대한 특성을 분석하고 이를 자동으로 발견하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 블록의 속성과 미래 참조 거리간의 관계를 이용해 블록 참조 패턴을 발견한다. 이 기법은 2 단계 파이프라인 방법을 이용하여 온라인으로 참조 패턴을 발견할 수 있으며, 참조 패턴의 변화가 발생하면 이를 인식할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 8개의 실제 응용 트레이스를 이용해 블록 참조 패턴의 발견을 실험하였으며, 제안된 기법이 각 응용의 블록 참조 패턴을 정확히 발견함을 확인하였다. 그리고 발견된 참조 패턴 정보를 블록 교체 정책에 적용해 보았으며, 실험 결과 기존의 대표적인 블록 교체 정책인 LRU에 비해 최대 57%까지 디스크 입출력 횟수를 줄일 수 있었다.Abstract As the speed gap between processors and disks continues to increase, the role of the buffer cache located in main memory is becoming increasingly important. The buffer cache is managed by block replacement policies and prefetching policies and each policy should decide the value of block, that is which block will be accessed in the near future. The value of block is based on the characteristics of block reference patterns of applications, hence accurate characterization of block reference patterns may improve the performance of the buffer cache. In this paper, we study the characteristics of block reference behavior of applications and propose a scheme that automatically detects the block reference patterns. The detection is made by associating block attributes of a block with the forward distance of the block. With the periodic detection using a two-stage pipeline technique, the scheme can make on-line detection of block reference patterns and monitor the changes of block reference patterns. We measured the detection capability of the proposed scheme using 8 real workload traces and found that the scheme accurately detects the block reference patterns of applications. Also, we apply the detected block reference patterns into the block replacement policy and show that replacement policies appropriate for the detected block reference patterns decreases the number of DISK I/Os by up to 57%, compared with the traditional LRU policy.
