In this paper, we are proposed to pushing window input buffer A.T.M Switch that is not use memory read and write of general window police. Pushing window switch is superior to general window switch in performance but is large to general window switch in cross point number. Max throughput and Cell occupying probability results are verified by analysis an simulation. The evaluation of performance is max throughput and cell loss probability and mean queue length.

DRAM with ECC is used widely and the size of DRAW increases. According to this, DRAM initial time, especially the time to make the whole area typical value, 0, increases. This paper introduces the method that without any additional hardware, using characteristic of DRAM and DRAM controller, minimize that memory initial time. Conservative reordering - it eliminates DRAM read time and makes write buffer used - reduces initial time to make the whole DRAM area 0, by 95.36% for DDR DRAM. 9341% for Rambus DRAM.

This research is to design an effective buffer structure and its management for flash memory based high performance SSDs (Solid State Disks). Specifically conventional SSDs tend to show asymmetrical performance in read and /write operations, in addition to a limited number of erase operations. To minimize the number of erase operations and write latency, the degree of interleaving levels over multiple flash memory chips should be maximized. Thus, to increase the interleaving effect, an effective buffer structure is proposed for the SSD with a hybrid address mapping scheme and super-block management. The proposed buffer operation is designed to provide performance improvement and enhanced flash memory life cycle. Also its management is based on a new selection scheme to determine random and sequential accesses, depending on execution characteristics, and a method to enhance the size of sequential access unit by aggressive merging. Experiments show that a newly developed mapping table under the MBA is more efficient than the basic simple management in terms of maintenance and performance. The overall performance is increased by around 35% in comparison with the basic simple management.

Flash memory has rapidly deployed as data storage. However, the flash memory has a major disadvantage that recorded data cannot be dynamically overwritten. In order to solve this "erase-before-write" problem, the log block buffer scheme used Flash memory file system. however, the current managements of the log buffer, in case random write pattern, BAST technique have problem of frequent merge operation, but FAST technique don't consider merge operation by frequently updated data. Previous methods not consider merge operation cost and frequently updated data. In this paper, we propose a new log buffer management scheme, called JBB. Our proposed method evaluates the worth of the merge of log blocks, so we conducts the merge operation between infrequently updated data and its data blocks, and postpone the merge operation between frequently updated data and its data blocks. Through the method, we prevent the unnecessary merge operations, reduce the number of the erase operation, and improve the utilization of the flash memory storage. We show the superiority of our proposed method through the performance evaluation with BAST and FAST.

In this paper, we found that buffer cache in general systems does not perform well in rendering software, and presented a new buffer cache management scheme that resolves this problem. To do so, we collected various file I/O traces of rending software and analyzed their characteristics. From this analysis, we observed that file I/Os in rendering consist of long loops, short loops, random accesses, and write-once accesses. Based on this observation, we presented a buffer cache management scheme that allocates cache space to each access types and manages them appropriately, thereby improving the buffer cache performances by 19% on average and up to 55%.

RAID-5 technology is one of the choice for flash storage device to enhance its reliability. However, RAID-5 has inherent parity update overhead, especially, parity overhead for partial stripe write is one of the crucial issues for flash-based RAID-5 technologies. In this paper, we design efficient parity log architecture for RAID-5 to eliminate runtime partial parity overhead. During runtime, partial parity is retained in buffer memory until full stripe write completed, and the parity is written with full strip write. In addition, parity log is maintained in memory until whole the stripe group is used for data write. With this parity log, partial parity can be recovered from the power loss. In the experiments, the parity log method can eliminate partial parity writes overhead with a little parity log writes. Hence it can reduce write amplification at the same reliability.

In this paper, a low-power and small-area asynchronous 1 kilobit EEPROM for passive UHF RFID tag chips is designed with $0.18{\mu}m$ EEPROM cells. As small area solutions, command and address buffers are removed since we design asynchronous I/O interface and data output buffer is also removed by using separate I/O. To supply stably high voltages VPP and VPPL used in the cell array from low voltage VDD, Dickson charge pump is designed with schottky diodes instead of a PN junction diodes. On that account, we can decrease the number of stages of the charge pump, which can decrease layout area of charge pump. As a low-power solution, we can reduce write current by using the proposed VPPL power switching circuit which selects each needed voltage at either program or write mode. A test chip of asynchronous 1 kilobit EEPROM is fabricated, and its layout area is $554.8{\times}306.9{\mu}m2$., 11% smaller than its synchronous counterpart.

In this paper, we present a register renaming method for conditional execution out-of-order instruction issue microprocessors. Register renaming method reduces false data dependencies (write after read(WAR) and write after write(WAW)). To implement a conditional execution out-of-order instruction issue microprocessor using register renaming, we use a register file which includes both in-order state physical registers and look-ahead state physical registers to share all logical registers. And we design an in-order state indicator, a renaming state indicator, a physical register assigning indicator, a condition prediction buffer and a reorder buffer. As we utilize the above hardwares, we can do register renaming and trace the in-order state. In this paper, we present an improved register renaming method using smaller hardware resources than conventional register renaming method. And this method eliminates an associative lookup and provides a short recovery time.

A new buffer cache management scheme that aims at reducing power consumption in mixed HDD and NAND flash memory storage systems is presented. The proposed scheme reduces power consumption by considering different energy-consumption rate of storage devices, I/O operation type (read or write), and reference potential of cached blocks in terms of both recency and frequency. Simulation shows that the proposed scheme reduces power consumption by 18.0% on average and up to 58.9%.
