In this paper, we consider to improve scientific workflows in cloud environments where data transfers between tasks are performed via provisioned in-memory caching as a service, instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based file systems. However, this improvement is not free since services in the cloud are usually charged in a “pay-as-you-go” model. As a consequence, the workflow tenants have to...
We propose a new concept of minmax memory claim (MMC) to achieve cost-effective workflow computations in in-memory cloud computing environments. The minmax-memory claim is defined as the minimum amount of memory required to finish the workflow without compromising its maximum concurrency. With MMC, the workflow tenants can achieve the best performance via the maximum concurrency while minimizing the...
With the growing importance of networked embedded devices in the upcoming Internet of Things, new attacks targeting embedded OSes are emerging. ARM processors, which power over 60% of embedded devices, introduce a hardware security extension called TrustZone to protect secure applications in an isolated secure world that cannot be manipulated by a compromised OS in the normal world. LeveragingTrustZone...
Traditional memory performance metrics, such as average memory access time (AMAT), are designed for sequential data accesses and can prove misleading for contemporary cache technologies that increasingly rely on access concurrency. C-AMAT, a new performance metric, accounts for concurrency at both the component and system levels for modern memory design.
