In current NAND flash design, one of the most challenging issues is reducing peak current consumption (peak ICC), as it leads to peak power drop, which can cause malfunctions in NAND flash memory. This paper presents an efficient approach for reducing the peak ICC of the cache program in NAND flash memory - namely, a program Cache Busy Time (tPCBSY) control method. The proposed tPCBSY control method is based on the interesting observation that the array program current (ICC2) is mainly decided by the bit-line bias condition. In the proposed approach, when peak ICC2 becomes larger than a threshold value, which is determined by a cache loop number, cache data cannot be loaded to the cache buffer (CB). On the other hand, when peak ICC2 is smaller than the threshold level, cache data can be loaded to the CB. As a result, the peak ICC of the cache program is reduced by 32% at the least significant bit page and by 15% at the most significant bit page. In addition, the program throughput reaches 20 MB/s in multiplane cache program operation, without restrictions caused by a drop in peak power due to cache program operations in a solid-state drive.

Today, in exponential growth of internet, the importance of file caching which could reduce the sun load, the volume of network traffic, and the latency of response has emerged. Actually, in one network, the traffic has reduced by using the cache and this means that file caching can improve the internet environment by cost a fraction of link upgrades. In this paper, we address a dynamic cache group configuration policy, to solve the scalable problem. The simulation result shows that the cache group using our proposal policy reduces the latency of response time and it means that out cache group configuration is more scalable than the static cache configuration.

Recently, the capacity of SSD has been increasing rapidly due to the improvement of flash memory density. To take full advantage of these SSDs, first of all, FTL's prompt adaptation is necessary. The FTL is a translation layer existing in SSDs to overcome the drawback of the SSD that cannot be modified in place, and has garbage collection and caching functions in addition to the map table management function. In this study, we focus on caching function, compare and analyze the cache implementation methodologies, and propose improved methods. Typical cache implementations divide the cache into groups, manage and retrieve the caches in the group as a linked list. Thus, searches are made in the order of the linked list. In contrast, we propose a method of sequential searching using the search area group of a cache registered in the map table regardless of the linked list and cache group. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a 2.5 times improvement over the conventional method.

RAID 5 is a widely-used technique used to construct disk systems of high reliability and performance. This paper proposes APGOC (Adaptive Parity Group On Cache) organization on cache to solve "small write" problem of RAID 5 especially in OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing System) environments. In our approach, when user process makes a request for a file to kernel, the information on the read/write characteristics is added to the file data structure of the file system. With this information, data and parity cache can be managed interchangeably through parity fetching. Therefore we can enhance the cache utilization and improve the disk request response time. Our method is analyzed and evaluated with a simulation method. Comparing with previous works, we observed about 6~l3% of performance enhancement.hancement.

In this paper, we propose a cache algorithm based on user's context for enterprise/urban smallcell environments. The smallcell caching method is to store mobile users' data traffic at a storage which is equipped in smallcell base station and it has an effect of reducing core networks traffic volume. In our algorithm, contrary to existing smallcell cache algorithms, the cache storage is equipped in a edge server by using a concept of the Mobile Edge Computing. In order to reflect user's characteristics, the edge server classifies users into several groups based on user's context. Also the edge server changes the storage size and the cache replacement frequency of each group to improve the cache efficiency. As the result of performance evaluation, the proposed algorithm can improve the cache hit ratio by about 11% and cache efficiency by about 5.5% compared to the existing cache algorithm.

Recently, cache sharing methods have been studied in order to effectively reply to user requests in mobile P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a cache sharing scheme based on a cluster considering the peer connectivity in mobile P2P networks. The proposed scheme shares caches by making a cluster that consists of peers preserving the connectivity among them for a long time. The proposed scheme reduces data duplication to efficiently use the cache space in a cluster. The cache space is divided into two parts with a data cache and a temporary cache for a cache space. It is possible to reduce the delay time when the cluster topology is changed or the cache data is replaced utilizing a temporary cache. The proposed scheme checks the caches of peers in a route to a cluster header and the caches of one-hop peers in order to reduce the communication cost. It is shown through performance evaluation that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

Recently, several main-memory index structures have been proposed to reduce the impact of secondary cache misses. In mainmemory storage systems, secondary cache misses have a substantial effect on the performance of index structures. However, recent studies still stiffer from secondary cache misses when visiting each level of index tree. In this paper, we propose a new index structure that minimizes the total amount of cache miss latency. The proposed index structure prefetched grandchildren of a current node. The basic structure of the proposed index structure is based on that of the CSB+-Tree, which uses the concept of a node group to increase fan-out. However, the insert algorithm of the proposed index structure significantly reduces the cost of a split. The superiority of our algorithm is shown through performance evaluation.

Grid database management systems are used for large data processing, high availability and data integration in grid computing. Furthermore the grid database management systems are in the use of manipulating the queries that are sent to distributed nodes for efficient query processing. However, when the query processing is concentrated in a random node, it will be occurred with imbalance workload and decreased query processing. In this paper we propose a load balancing method for query processing based on cache Management in grid databases. This proposed method focuses on managing a cache in nodes by cache manager. The cache manager connects a node to area group and then the cache manager maintains a cached meta information in node. A node is used for caching the efficient meta information which is propagated to other node using cache manager. The workload of node is distributed by using caching meta information of node. This paper shows that there is an obvious improvement compared with existing methods, through adopting the proposed algorithm.

As the Internet grows and the mass multimedia data become popular, the storage system migrates from DAS, where the storage and the server are directly connected, to SAN and NAS. SAN connects the storages with a separate network, and NAS provides only file services, connects the storages with IP network. However, SAN and NAS can not fulfill the needs for companies if used separately, thus are asked to be integrated. In this research, we propose an efficient data sharing method which employees the concept of GMC, Croup Master Cache for the integrated environment of SAN and NAS. GMC is based on MCI, Metadata server and Cluster system Integration, but tries to solve the high expansion cost problem with MCI. We introduce the basic concept of GMC, compare the performance of GMC with that of MCI using computer simulation.

The purpose of this study is to propose the online game server architecture which can expand as the number of users increases. In most online game servers, there is a server group composed of a login server, a cache server, a database server, a game server, and an NPC server, and when the number of users increases, an additional server group with the same structure is installed. The server architecture proposed in this study does not install a server group composed of a login server, a cache server, a database server, a game server, an NPC server, etc., but installs a game server only. When there is a need for the cache server and database server, the required servers will be additionally installed, thus reducing costs.
