Modern web/mobile applications have a highly variable user load from different geographical locations that depends upon the time-of-day, flash crowds, and growth rate (high or low) of user load. Irrespective of server hosting location of the applications, users from different geographical regions need highly responsive applications because bad performance results in unhappy customers. A recent survey...
In the competitive world of modern web applications, performance plays a crucial role. An e-commerce company estimated that every 100ms delay reduces sales by 1 percent, and a popular search engine reported that every 500ms delay in search reduces earnings by 20 percent. The demands from users for these services can vary widely based on factors such as the time-of-day and unexpected events that can...
The use of video data for a variety of applications has gained immense popularity. These applications include traffic monitoring, surveillance, retail store management, etc. Thousands of publicly accessible network cameras distributed around the world are potential sources of video data. The applications analyzing data from network cameras have different resource requirements (CPU, memory, etc.) and...
The visual data generated by network cameras can be valuable for a wide range of scientific studies such as weather, wildlife, and traffic. The resource demands for analysis of the data may fluctuate significantly for some of these studies (for example, seasonal or during only rush hours). Cloud computing's pay-per-use can be a preferred solution for analysing large amounts of data from these network...
This paper describes a cloud-based software infrastructure for teaching big data analytics. Using this infrastructure, students can retrieve and analyze real-time visual data retrieved from globally distributed network cameras.
Virtualization and cloud computing technologies now make it possible to create scalable and reliable virtual high performance computing clusters. Integrating these technologies, however, is complicated by fundamental and inherent differences in the way in which these systems allocate resources to computational tasks. Cloud computing systems immediately allocate available resources or deny requests...
