Scalable Analytic Models for Performance Efficiency in the Cloud

Abstract

This paper presents a scalable model-driven approach to quantify the availability of resources and optimal distribution of tasks over these resources, such that the average response time of tasks is minimized. To reduce the complexity of analysis and solution time, we use an integrated stochastic based approach. To achieve this, first we use clustering algorithm to group the tasks into distinct classes with similar characteristics in terms of resource and performance requirements. Second, we quantify the resource availability of cloud center among three states: active (running), idle (turned on, but not ready), and off (turned off). Third, we develop a queuing model for multiple heterogeneous multicore servers, and formulate and solve the optimal load distribution of tasks for multiple heterogeneous multicore servers in a cloud computing data centers. We derive equations that permit us to find optimal load distribution of tasks that their average response time is minimized. We obtain not only detailed assessment of cloud center performance, but also insights into equilibrium arrangement, capacity planning and power consumption to be kept under control.

An Optimal Virtual Machine Placement Method in Cloud Computing Environment

“…It depicts the queuing performance model in the cloud for the service requests to be performed. Figure 2 A data owner is responsible for generating the encrypted files and uploading the files to the cloud server [27]. Trusted authority checks for the incoming requests and sends the required key to the data owner.…”

Right-Sizing Server Capacity Headroom for Global Online Services

“…Another approach to increasing capacity efficiency has been to dynamically add or remove servers as demand changes [2], [3], [47]- [53], or even turn off unused server capacity [54]. In practice this approach is difficult to implement for large online services because it requires existing systems to be ported to run on top of a new infrastructure, and the complexity of dynamic capacity makes the system difficult to debug.…”

Resource efficiency in container-instance clusters

“…Reliable state management and exible scheduling are essential in running modern distributed applications on clusters [9], [6], [7], [3], [4], [10], [11]. Academic and industrial researchers have developed several other cluster management frameworks for resource e ciency, such as Mesos [5], Omega [8], Borg [11] etc.…”
