As more organizations rapidly adopt cloud services, energy consumption in data centers (DCs) is increasing such that today Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a major consumer of energy. A large portion of ICT energy consumption is used to power servers running in DCs and the network they use to communicate. In this study, we consider that, often, energy cost at a particular...
Cloud computing is emerging as a promising alternative to supercomputers for some high-performance computing (HPC) applications. With cloud as an additional deployment option, HPC users and providers are faced with the challenges of dealing with highly heterogeneous resources, where the variability spans across a wide range of processor configurations, interconnects, virtualization environments, and...
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) proliferation has led to widespread use of cloud-computing services. ICT constitutes a significant portion of the worldwide energy consumption, and reduction in operating energy expenditures is a high priority for cloud-service providers. Spatial and temporal variations in electricity price can be exploited to reduce the operating cost. One approach is...
Fine-grained communication in supercomputing applications often limits performance through high communication overhead and poor utilization of network bandwidth. This paper presents Topological Routing and Aggregation Module (TRAM), a library that optimizes fine-grained communication performance by routing and dynamically combining short messages. TRAM collects units of fine-grained communication...
HPC applications are increasingly being used in academia and laboratories for scientific research and in industries for business and analytics. Cloud computing offers the benefits of virtualization, elasticity of resources and elimination of cluster setup cost and time to HPC applications users. However, poor network performance, performance variation and OS noise are some of the challenges for execution...
