전통적으로 단순 그래픽 연산에만 사용되던 GPU는 연산 속도의 증가와 고수준의 언어 지원을 통해서 일반적인 용도로도 사용 가능한 GPGPU기술로 발전했다. GPGPU는 병렬 처리 능력과 속도 개선을 목적으로 다방면에 걸쳐 사용되고 있는데, 기본적으로 Linux user mode에서의 사용만 가능하며 kernel mode에서의 사용은 지원되지 않는다. Linux kernel 내부에서도 GPGPU 사용이 가능해진다면, User application 뿐만 아니라 Linux kernel의 성능 개선에도 GPGPU를 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 우리는 Linux kernel의 system call과 user mode의 mediator process를 사용한 Linux kernel mode에서의 GPGPU 사용법을 제시하고, 향후 성능 개선을 위한 기준점을 제공한다.

In this paper, the Linux kernel memory map was analyzed as the approach to Improving performance for Embedded Linux system. Since the Linux kernel memory map supporting a stability and various H/W platforms and in which it becomes to the general purpose system with optimization manages the role of being important in the booting time and the efficient system utilization of resources, the analysis of the kernel memory map is required for the performance improvement of the Embedded Linux system in which it is restrictive the resources. According to the analysis result, and of the Linux kernel memory, the booting speed of and improvement of the memory efficiency were confirmed. It is therefore considered that the proposed in this paper and kernel memory allocation method are suitable to the memory availability improvement of the Embedded Linux system.

SCTP is a next generation transmission protocol that is more efficient for large scale data transmission like as multimedia data. SCTP protocol is supported in recent linux kernel 2.6.0-testX. SCTP which is supported in linux kernel 2.6 implemented in lksctp package styles. It is necessary that SCTP API is analyzed and is compared with TCP, UDP protocol. So, in this paper describes the analyzing and testing SCTP API that is supported in linux kernel 2.6.0-testX.

This paper designs the kernel hardening function by recovering the kernel stack fame to reduce the system error or panic due to the kernel code error. The suggested kernel hardening function guarantees normal system operation by recovering the incorrect address of the kernel stack kernel. The suggesting kernel hardening mechanism is applied to the network module of Linux which is much using put. I experimented the kernel hardening function at the network module of the Linux by forcing panic code.

This paper presents performance evaluation of real-time mechanisms for real-time embedded linux. First, we presents process for implementing open-source real-time embedded linux namely RTAI and Xenomai. These are real-time extensions to linux kernel and we implemented real-time embedded linux over the latest linux kernel. Measurements of executions of real-time mechanisms for each distribution are performed to give a quantitative comparison. Performance evaluations are conducted in kernel space about repeatability of periodic task, response time of Semaphore, FIFO, Mailbox and Message queue in terms of inter-task communication for each distribution. These rules can be helpful for deciding which real-time linux extension should be used with respect to the requirements of the real-time applications.

IEEE1394 is a new interface standard for connecting peripheral devices to embedded linux system. A IEEE1394 system consists of a embedded Linux system and a number of peripherals with IEEE1394 interfaces. In this paper, we Embedded Linux System for IEEE-1394 Realization described with IEEE1394 interface. Using hardware used board on MPC860 processor, Linux kernel used kernel 2.2.14 for a stabilization version, Hardware Interface inspected a test and quality improvement On board with IEEE1394 Application.

In Linux, real-time tasks are supported by separating real-time task priorities from non-real-time task priorities. However, this separation of priority ranges may not be effective when real-time tasks make the system calls that are taken care of by the kernel threads. Thus, Linux is considered a soft real-time system. Moreover, kernel threads are configured to have static priorities for throughputs. The static assignment of priorities to kernel threads causes trouble for real-time tasks when real-time tasks require kernel threads to be invoked to handle the system calls because kernel threads do not discriminate between real-time and non-real-time tasks. We present a dynamic kernel thread scheduling mechanism with weighted average priority inheritance protocol (PIP), a variation of the PIP. The scheduling algorithm assigns proper priorities to kernel threads at runtime by monitoring the activities of user-level real-time tasks. Experimental results show that the algorithms can greatly improve the unexpected execution latency of real-time tasks.

In this paper, we propose a fault isolation system for device drivers of the Linux operating system. High availability systems impose stringent requirements upon Linux operating system. Especially device drivers can be a major source of operating system instability and many times contribute to system degradation and outages. The proposed fault isolation system identifies the occurrence of the memory-related faults in device driver and isolates it from the kernel. By operating at the early stage of the page fault handler in Linux kernel, the system detects which module causes fault and isolates it transparently from the remaining part of the kernel. By experiments, we show that the proposed system efficiently detects faults incurred by device driver, isolates the device driver and the process which accessed the driver module from the kernel.
