Consolidating virtual machine workload is a unique feature of cloud computing platforms that greatly reduces the operating cost of the cloud data center. Correctly consolidating VMs’ workloads for a large scale cloud computing platform is nontrivial because a shortsighted scheme may save some cost in one aspect but becomes expensive in other aspects being neglected. In this paper, we present a framework...
The configuration of a Hadoop cluster is significantly important to its performance, because an improper configuration can greatly deteriorate the job execution performance. Unfortunately, systematic guidelines on how to configure a Hadoop cluster are still missing. In this paper, we undertake an empirical study on key operations and mechanisms of Hadoop job execution, including the task assignment...
In nowadays computing clouds, it is of the cloud providers' economic interests to correctly consolidate the workload of the virtual machines (VMs) into the suitable physical servers in the cloud data center in order to minimize the total maintenance cost. However, during the consolidation process, sufficient protection should be provided to the service level agreement (SLA) of the VMs. In this paper,...
