In this paper, we propose a MTS-CFQ I/O scheduler that is implemented by modifying the existing Linux CFQ I/O scheduler. MTS-CFQ observes whether the user requested I/O bandwidth weight is well distributed. Based on the I/O bandwidth observation, we improved I/O performance of the existing bandwidth distribution ability by dynamically controlling the I/O time-slice of the virtual machine. The use...
Novel cloud computing algorithms and techniques are initially evaluated via testbeds, simulators and mathematical models of datacenter infrastructure. However, it can be difficult to perform cross validation of these platforms against realistic scale infrastructures due to the prohibitive costs involved. This paper describes an approach to evaluating a cloud simulator through an empirical study involving...
In-network processing pushes computational capabilities closer to the edge of the network, enabling new kinds of location-aware, real-time applications, while preserving bandwidth in the core network. This is done by offloading computations to more powerful or energy-efficient surrogates that are opportunistically available at the network edge. In mobile and heterogeneous usage contexts, the question...
To take advantage of software defined networking (SDN) within a limited budget constraint, a natural strategy is to incrementally deploy a few SDN switches (and a limited amount of additional link bandwidth) into the legacy optical network. In such a hybrid optical network, operators can only change the routes of flows that traverse SDN switches. Therefore, to optimize SDN deployment, it is essential...
We report the impact of device design parameters on the saturation voltages (VDSAT) and thereby on analog performance of the Tunnel FETs (TFET). As the drain bias (VDS) increases, the device initially enters a soft saturation and later into a deep saturation state, both at a constant difference between the gate-drain bias (VGD)· An increase in source (drain) doping decreases (increases) the soft saturation...
The 5.9 GHz band is being actively explored for possible spectrum sharing opportunities between Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and IEEE 802.11ac networks in order to address the increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive Wi-Fi applications. In this paper, we study the implications of this spectrum sharing to the performance of Wi-Fi systems. Through experiments performed on our testbed,...
Most existing or developing IoT communication standards are based on the assumption that IoT services only require low data rate transmission and therefore can be supported by limited resources such as narrow-band channels. This assumption rules out those IoT services with burst traffic, critical tasks, and low latency requirements. In this paper, we propose to utilize idle devices in IoT networks...
Data replication is a key technique to achievedata availability, reliability, and optimized performance indistributed storage systems and data centers. In recent years, with the emergence of new storage devices, heterogeneousobject-based storage system, such as a storage system withthe co-existence of hard disk drives and solid state drives, have become increasingly attractive as they combine merits...
In this article known methods of design fieldbus network in distributed control system (DCS) are analyzed and the synthesis of new algorithm is presented. Building a network is made in the condition of strict restraints on cost, as well as probabilistic and temporal characteristics of the information exchange. The analysis is conducted for fieldbus networks, based on methods of random multiple nodes...
In this work, two access point (AP) selection mechanisms called STOOP and MD-STOOP are presented for enterprise wireless local area networks (WLANs). STOOP utilizes first- order stochastic dominance (FSD) tools to develop a runtime algorithm that probes the network to compare the quality of service from multiple APs in a stochastic manner. MD-STOOP utilizes the concept of mean dominance (MD) to select...
Big data and machine learning applications are posing steadily increasing challenges to the used compute platforms in terms of performance and energy efficiency. In this paper we utilize the highly scalable heterogeneous server platform RECS for evaluation of a wide variety of hardware platforms ranging from general purpose CPUs via ARM-based SoCs to GPGPUs and FPGAs. The self-organizing map, a popular...
Fog computing is a model in which data and processing are concentrated on devices at the edge of the network, rather than almost entirely in the cloud. This new paradigm tries to solve the latency and bandwidth issues that the current cloud systems have to deal with, and also addresses the scalability problems caused by the exponential growth of the number of smart devices due to the success of the...
Programming accelerators today usually requires managing separate virtual and physical memories, such as allocating space in and copying data between host and device memories. The OpenACC API provides data directives and clauses to control this behavior where it is required. This paper describes how the data model is supported in current OpenACC implementations, ranging from research compilers (OpenUH...
When multiple virtual machines (VMs) are running on the same physical device, inner-VM switching and VM's bandwidth allocation are usually achieved by hypervisor, without any NIC support. Although there have been several optimization algorithms for hypervisor, these software-based methods still can't be optimal solutions because of extra CPU workloads. Motivated by the studies, we proposed a VM-friendly...
Internet of Things (IoT) is combination of things and Internet. Things in IoT communicate via Internet. IoT has several heterogeneous devices and results to many issues. In this work we have proposed agent based job classification and resource allocation in IoT. In the proposed methodology agent uses the Fuzzy Interference System. Agents are defined in two hierarchicy namely at Local Processor Agency...
Named Data Networking (NDN) routers can cache previously forwarded Data packets, and those can be reused when a matching Interest packet arrives. Unlike traditional IP routers and HTTP caches that exist as separate devices, designing a scalable NDN router is a new challenge because it should perform fast forwarding and massive-scale caching at the same time. This paper proposes a design of an NDN...
The coexistence of different technologies within the same spectrum swaths, as well as the distributed, non-coordinated channel assignment for WLANs is becoming not only an important research topic, but also a matter of sustainability for the trend we witness in moving all last-hop communications on wireless links to unleash the users from their wires and tethers. This work proposes, implements and...

Energy management is a key issue for mobile devices. On current Android devices, power management relies heavily on OS modules known as governors. These modules are created for various hardware components, including the CPU, to support DVFS. They implement algorithms that attempt to balance performance and power consumption. In this paper we make the observation that the existing governors are (1)...
