Ever-increasing amounts of data are created and processed in internet-scale companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. The efficient storage of such copious amounts of data has thus become a fundamental and acute problem in modern computing. No single machine can possibly satisfy such immense storage demands. Therefore, distributed storage systems (DSS), which rely on tens of thousands of storage...
Mobile Broadband (MBB) access networks are becoming more and more used worldwide, and the devices adopted to access them are increasing in number and complexity (smartphones, mobile hotspots, vehicular infotainment systems). The highly dynamic nature of such scenarios calls for continuous monitoring and measurement of the network, and possibly cross-layer management of network applications. A recent...
Recent advances in high speed rails (HSRs), coupled with user demands for communication on the move, are propelling the need for acceptable quality of communication services in high speed mobility scenarios. This calls for an evaluation of how well popular voice/video call applications, such as Skype, can perform in such scenarios. This paper presents the first comprehensive measurement study on Skype...
As many applications today migrate to distributed computing and cloud platforms, their user experience depends heavily on network performance. Software Defined Networking (SDN) makes it possible to obtain a global view of the network, introducing the new paradigm of developing adaptive applications with network views. A naive approach of realizing the paradigm, such as distributing the whole network...
The shuffle transfer pattern is widely adopted in today's cluster computing applications and the completion time of each group of transmissions directly affects application performance. Because of the restriction on the number of concurrent threads and the TCP Incast problem, the randomized data fetching strategy is widely employed in this kind of communication in practice. In this paper, to assess...
In multi-tenant shared clouds, applications of different tenants compete for the shared network and thus suffer significant unpredictability of performance. The progress is an essential metric to measure the overall data transfer rate of a tenant and to indicate how fast a tenant can complete data transfer. Most previous work of network allocation or schedule focus on achieving the tradeoff among...
In spectrum sharing networks with relay cooperation, primary users can benefit from the assistance of secondary users while secondary users accessing the primary bandwidth to transmit their signals. Reasonable relay selection strategy can improve the performances of both primary and secondary users in terms of higher transmission data rate and lower outage probability, and at the same time, frequent...
Typically, in low-power and lossy networks nodes communicate with servers over the Internet. Nodes collaborate wirelessly to relay their data to a gateway. A large-scale network can have multiple gateways. Selecting a proper gateway can have an immense impact on the network's performance. In this paper, we present joint routing and gateway selection protocols for low-power and lossy networks. To analyse...
The combination of fast online anomaly detection and offline learning is a vital element of operations in large-scale datacenters and utility clouds. Given ever-increasing datacenter sizes coupled with the complexities of systems software, applications, and workload patterns, such anomaly detection must operate continuous and real-time at runtime. Further, detection should function for both hardware...
Multi-tenancy allows diverse agents sharing the infrastructure in the 5th generation of mobile networks. Such a feature calls for more automated and faster planning procedures in order to adapt the network capacity to the varying traffic demand. To achieve these goals, Small Cells offer network providers more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions compared to macrocell deployments. This...
Comparison of the dominant emerging memory technologies at the fundamental cell level will be presented. Metrics will be discussed and the technologies will be compared with the objective of judging the suitability for high density memory applications.
LTE networks are deployed to increase capacity and coverage especially for the indoor and cell-edge mobile users. However, such deployment comes with major challenges, radio resource management and inter-cell interferences. Fractional Frequency Reuse mechanism (FFR) is one of the most effective interference avoidance techniques. In this paper, we evaluate an existing adaptation process that adjusts...
Video services are flourishing, and the same content might be hosted by different websites. A user typically does not care about which provider provides the service to him/her but rather the quality of the service. However, the network condition is not stable and it is hard to obtain the service performance in real time during the online service. Therefore, it is very important to understand the potential...
With the proliferation of wireless electronic devices such as RFID, In-flight Entertainment (IFE) and Personal Electronic Devices (PED) it is important to understand how these systems interact with one another and flight critical systems onboard aircraft. Overall system performance is also of interest due to the varying system performance based on subcomponent installation locations. This paper describes...
The placement of the Last Level Cache (LLC) banks in the GPU on-chip network can significantly affect the performance of memory-intensive workloads. In this paper, we attempt to offer a placement methodology for the LLC banks to maximize the performance of the on-chip network connecting the LLC banks to the streaming multiprocessors in GPUs. We argue that an efficient placement needs to be derived...
It is demonstrated by means of RLC circuit models of electrically small antennas that their isolated-resonance quality factors obtained from the “Q-energy” predicts their bandwidths with greater accuracy than the “equivalent-circuit” or the “elec-trodynamic” energies. Moreover, it is verified that the Q-energy cannot be considered stored energy in highly dispersive lossy material. Nonetheless, using...
Antenna design starts with a desired electrical performance, stating the minimum gain, beamwidth and/or other parameters, across a specified bandwidth. An antenna type is chosen, and then trial-and-error is used to choose the dimensions, usually in conjunction with computer simulation. This paper introduces an antenna design tool called the Antenna Design Software (ADS) which accepts the desired electrical...
Wi-Fi Mesh Community has turn out to be an important area community to offer internet to challenge the thrown domains and wireless link in metropolitan environments. In this paper, hassle of figuring out the most to be had bandwidth direction is targeted, which is an essential problem in helping pleasant-of-carrier in WMCs. Due to the concept of interference, bandwidth, which is a familiar challenging...
A current probe based on IEC standard 61967-4 is proposed to investigate the conducted electromagnetic emission of IC above 1 GHz. The 1 Ω method in direct coupling method is revisited, and the concern for extending frequency range is discussed. The critical resistive network of 1 Ω probe is realized by a semiconductor process instead of the SMD resistors. With the advantage of reduced parasitic effect,...
Floating Content (FC) has recently been proposed as an attractive application for mobile networks, such as VANETs, to operate opportunistic and distributed content sharing over a given geographic area, namely Anchor Zone (AZ). FC performances are tightly dependent on the AZ size, which in literature is classically chosen by the node that generates the floating message. In the present work, we propose...
