In this article, we present a performance enhancement scheme for mobile applications by adopting persistent memory. The proposed scheme supports the deadline guarantee of real-time applications like a video player, and also provides reasonable performances for non-real-time applications. To do so, we analyze the program execution path of mobile software platforms and find two sources of unpredictable time delays that make the deadline-guarantee of real-time applications difficult. The first is the irregular activation of garbage collection in flash storage and the second is the blocking and time-slice based scheduling used in mobile platforms. We resolve these two issues by adopting high performance persistent memory as the storage of real-time applications. By maintaining real-time applications and their data in persistent memory, I/O latency can become predictable because persistent memory does not need garbage collection. Also, we present a new scheduler that exclusively allocates a processor core to a real-time application. Although processor cycles can be wasted while a real-time application performs I/O, we depict that the processor utilization is not degraded significantly due to the acceleration of I/O by adopting persistent memory. Simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme improves the deadline misses of real-time applications by 90% in comparison with the legacy I/O scheme used in mobile systems.

버퍼 캐시는 스토리지의 느린 속도를 완충하는 중요한 역할을 하지만, 데이터의 유실을 막기 위한 주기적인 플러시 연산으로 인해 스마트폰에서 그 효과가 크게 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 소량의 영속 메모리에 선택적인 플러시 정책을 적용하여 스마트폰 버퍼 캐시의 플러시 오버헤드를 크게 줄일 수 있음을 보인다. 이는 스마트폰 앱의 I/O 분석 결과 대부분의 파일 쓰기가 소량의 핫 데이터에 집중돼 있는 반면 상당 부분의 파일 데이터는 1회성 쓰기에 국한한다는 점에 근거한다. 제안하는 기법은 플러시 상황 발생 시 자주 수정되는 데이터를 영속 메모리로 우회 플러시하고 그렇지 않은 데이터만을 스토리지로 플러시한다. 이를 통해 스토리지 쓰기량을 크게 줄이는 동시에 영속 메모리의 공간 효율성을 높인다. 인기 있는 스마트폰 앱의 I/O 트레이스를 이용한 재현 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 스토리지 쓰기량을 평균 25.8%, 최대 37.8%까지 줄임을 보인다.

Memcached, commonly used to speed up the data access in big-data and Internet-web applications, is a system software of the distributed-cache mechanism. But it is subject to the severe challenge of the loss of recently uncommitted updates in the case where the Memcached servers crash due to some reason. Although the replica scheme and the disk-log-based replay mechanism have been proposed to overcome this problem, they generate either the overhead of the replica synchronization or the persistent-storage overhead that is caused by flushing related logs. This paper proposes a scheme of backing up the write requests (i.e., set and add) on the Memcached client side, to reduce the overhead resulting from the making of disk-log records or performing the replica consistency. If the Memcached server fails, a timestamp-based recovery mechanism is then introduced to replay the write requests (buffered by relevant clients), for regaining the lost-data updates on the rebooted Memcached server, thereby meeting the data-consistency requirement. More importantly, compared with the mechanism of logging the write requests to the persistent storage of the master server and the server-replication scheme, the newly proposed approach of backing up the logs on the client side can greatly decrease the time overhead by up to 116.8% when processing the write workloads.

In this paper we showed the application of European Space Agency's C-band Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery to identify land subsidence in a heavily groundwater pumping area. We used the repeat pass satellite interferometry method in combination with persistent scattering (PS) interferometric technique to generate and analyze twenty-eight interferograms for the period October 2014 to November 2016. The interferometry results show that land subsidence is more pronounced in the urban areas. Excessive groundwater pumping in the study area is believed to be the main reason for land subsidence. The results are compared with the subsidence rate measured by GPS as reported in other studies and with the mean change in total water storage field of GRACE solutions provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) and the Center for Space Research (CSR). The comparison shows persistently decreasing trends during the period of study. A strong reliance of the trend of land subsidence on the temporal decline in total water storage proposes that much of the land subsidence can be attributed to heavy pumping of the groundwater.

This study was focused on the evaluation of Nanjido landfill site by leachate analysis. Several parameters, for example pH, BOD, $COD_{Mn},\;COD_{Cr}$, SS, TP, $NH_3-N$, Color, were selected as major leachate quality parameters. $BOD/COD_{Cr}$. was used to estimate the biodegradable portion in organic matter. Samples were collected at the leachate storage wells and leachate treatment facility inflow in each quarter of 2003. The results were as follows : 1. Inflow quality of treatment plant in 2003 was analysed as $pH\;7.3\~8.0,\;BOD\;12.4\~30.0mg/L,\;COD_{Mn}\;101.2\~130.3mg/L,\;COD_{Cr}\;122.5\~238.0mg/L,\;SS\;16.1\~115.3mg/L$, $T-P\;0.27\~0.80mg/L,\;NH_3-N\;208.0\~~354.0mg/L$, Color $110.3\~129.0$ unit. 2. $BOD/COD_{Cr}$ of inflow ranged between $0.07\~0.16$ indicating that the landfill had the properties of old-fill and organic portion in leachate was mostly persistent organic matter. 3. Though concentrations of BOD, COD, $NH_3-N$, Color in leachate storage wells were mostly higher in first landfill than in second landfill, $BOD/COD_{Cr}$ ranging from 0.03 to 0.20, showed reversely. 4. Correlation coefficient$(R^2)$ between color and other parameters related to organic matter showed mostly above 0.7 and especially highest value with $COD_{Mn}$ of 0.7985.

최근에 소개된 비휘발성 메모리(Non-Volatile Memory)를 저장장치로 사용하는 경우에도 데이터를 접근하기 위해서는 페이지 테이블이 구축되어야 한다. 이 점에 착안하여 본 논문에서는 페이지 테이블 자체를 비휘발성 메모리에 유지하는 영속적 페이지 테이블 (Persistent Page Table) 기법을 설계한다. 실제 페이지 테이블의 구조는 프로세서마다 다르다. 또한 비휘발성 메모리의 물리주소와 가상주소는 종종 저장장치가 시스템에 연결되기 전까지 알 수 없기 때문에 연결 시점까지는 실제로 동작하는 페이지 테이블을 만들 수 없다. 따라서 영속적 페이지 테이블은 주소와 시스템으로부터 독립적인 구조를 가져야 하며, 저장장치가 동작하는 시점에 영속적 페이지 테이블을 기반으로 시스템 종속적인 페이지 테이블이 생성되어야 한다. 또한 영속적 페이지 테이블 엔트리는 원자적으로 변경되어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 영속적 페이지 테이블의 설계에 대해 설명한다. 다음으로 파일시스템이 영속적 페이지 테이블이 제공하는 교환 연산을 활용하여 저널링 오버헤드를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보인다. 교환 연산을 활용하도록 Linux Ext4 파일시스템을 변경하였으며, Filebench 워크로드를 이용한 성능 측정 결과를 보면 영속적 페이지 테이블과 교환 연산은 파일시스템의 성능을 최대 60% 향상시킨다.

With the development of nonvolatile memory technology, Intel has released the Optane datacenter persistent memory module (DCPMM) that can be deployed in the dual in-line memory module. The results of research and experiments on Optane DCPMMs are significantly different from the anticipated results in previous studies through emulation. The DCPMM can be used in two different modes, namely, memory mode (similar to volatile DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory) and app direct mode (similar to file storage). It has buffers in 256-byte granularity; this is four times the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cache line (i.e., 64 bytes). However, these properties are not easy to use correctly, and the incorrect use of these properties may result in performance degradation. Optane has the same characteristics of DRAM and storage devices. To take advantage of the performance characteristics of this device, operating systems and applications require new approaches. However, this change in computing environments will require a significant number of researches in the future.

Developing methods to search over an encrypted database (EDB) have received a lot of attention in the last few years. Among them, order-revealing encryption (OREnc) and order-preserving encryption (OPEnc) are the core parts in the case of range queries. Recently, some ideally-secure OPEnc schemes whose ciphertexts reveal no additional information beyond the order of the underlying plaintexts have been proposed. However, these schemes either require a large round complexity or a large persistent client-side storage of size O(n) where n denotes the number of encrypted items stored in EDB. In this work, we propose a new construction of an efficient OPEnc scheme based on an OREnc scheme. Security of our construction inherits the security of the underlying OREnc scheme. Moreover, we also show that the construction of a non-interactive ideally-secure OPEnc scheme with a constant client-side storage is theoretically possible from our construction.

최근 XML 데이타베이스 기반 웹 응용을 위한 XML 질의 캐쉬 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이와 같은 XML 질의 캐쉬의 실용적인 중요성에도 불구하고, 캐쉬된 질의 결과를 어떻게 저장하는 것이 효율적인지에 대해서는 아직 아무런 연구가 없는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 XML 질의 캐쉬의 저장 기법을 다룬다. XML 질의 캐쉬의 효율적인 저장 구조 설계에 있어 근본적으로 고려해야 하는 점은 캐쉬된 질의 결과에 대한 대표적인 두 종류 연산 간에 성능 트레이드오프가 존재한다는 것이다. 이 두 종류의 연산은 (1) 캐쉬된 질의 결과를 반환하기 위하여 캐쉬 전체를 검색하는 것과 (2) 소스 데이타의 변경에 대하여 캐쉬를 점진적으로 갱신하기 위하여 캐쉬의 일부분을 변경하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 모두 여덟 개의 XML 질의 캐쉬 저장 기법을 제시한다. 이들은 크게 세 개의 그룹으로 나누어지는데, (1) 일반적인 텍스트 화일을 기반으로 한 기법 (2) 영속성 있는 DOM(PDOM) 화일에 기반을 둔 기법 (3) RDBMS를 사용하는 기법이다. 이들 모두를 구현하여 성능을 비교하였고, 기존의 XML 저장 기술에 기반을 둔 질의 캐쉬 저장 기법과도 비교 평가하였다.

Esophageal candidiasis is commonly seen in immunocompromised patients; however, candida esophagitis induced stricture is a very rare complication. We report the first case of esophageal stricture secondary to candidiasis in a glycogen storage disease (GSD) 1b child. The patient was diagnosed with GSD type 1b by liver biopsy. No mutation was found in the G6PC gene, but SLC37A4 gene sequencing revealed a compound heterozygous mutation (p.R28H and p.W107X, which was a novel mutation). The patient's absolute neutrophil count was continuously under $1,000/{\mu}L$ when he was over 6 years of age. He was admitted frequently for recurrent fever and infection, and frequently received intravenous antibiotics, antifungal agents. He complained of persistent dysphagia beginning at age 7 years. Esophageal stricture and multiple whitish patches were observed by endoscopy and endoscopic biopsy revealed numerous fungal hyphae consistent with candida esophagitis. He received esophageal balloon dilatation four times, and his symptoms improved.
