Storage backend characterization is vital to the workload aware storage platform which aims at providing optimal mapping between storage workloads and backends. Storage benchmarking as one major activity in the path of backend characterization, is very challenging due to the diversity and complexity of the storage environments. In this paper, we present our storage benchmarking design and implementation...
This study summarizes results of a study of the internal, structural quality of 288 business applications comprising 108 million lines of code collected from 75 companies in 8 industry segments. These applications were submitted to a static analysis that evaluates quality within and across application components that may be coded in different languages. The analysis consists of evaluating the application...
Self-managed communication systems are using self-adaptive algorithms to control the services they offer. It is assumed that autonomy of system operation helps to reduce operational expenses, to increase performance or even to allow the emergence of new functionalities. The comparison and the understanding of operation (jointly termed here ??assessment??) of different self-managed systems require...
Exploration robots are sent inside collapsed building in search of trapped victims. Once inside, they have to explore the entire maze of obstacles and debris as quickly as possible without missing any accessible area by means of the search algorithm. Comparing the performances of emerging search algorithms against known benchmarks, inside realistic simulated fields is crucial for fast victim localisation...
There are many applications for secure multi-party computation (SMC), but practical adoption is still an issue. One reason is that the business model of the application does not match the system architecture of regular secure computation. An important business model is that of a single service provider dealing with many customers. Applications with this business model are e.g. auctions or benchmarking...
This paper presents a tool, the performance model manager, which addresses the complexity of the construction and management of a set of functional performance models on a computing server in a grid environment. The operation of the tool and the features it implements to achieve this goal are described. Integration of functional performance models with a GridRPC middleware, using the tool's interfaces...
To enable systematic comparison of technical quality of (groups of) software products, we have collected measurement data of a wide range of systems into a benchmark repository. The measurements were taken over the course of several years of delivering software assessment services to corporations and public institutes. The granularity of the collected data follows the layered structure of a model...
