Resource Management in Computing Systems
(2017)- Abstract
- Resource management is an essential building block of any modern computer and communication network. In this thesis, the results of our research in the following two tracks are summarized in four papers.
The first track includes three papers and covers modeling, prediction and control for multi-tier computing systems. In the first paper, a NARX-based multi-step-ahead response time predictor for single server queuing systems is presented which can be applied to CPU-constrained computing systems. The second paper introduces a NARX-based multi-step-ahead query response time predictor for database servers. Both mentioned predictors can predict the dynamics of response times in the whole operation range particularly in high load...

In this thesis, the results of our research in the following two tracks are summarized in four papers.
The first track includes three papers and covers modeling, prediction and control for multi-tier computing systems. In the first paper, a NARX-based multi-step-ahead response time predictor for single server queuing systems is presented which can be applied to CPU-constrained computing systems. The second paper introduces a NARX-based multi-step-ahead query response time predictor for database servers. Both mentioned predictors can predict the dynamics of response times in the whole operation range particularly in high load scenarios without changes having to be applied to the current protocols and operating systems. In the third paper, queuing theory is used to model the dynamics of a database server. Several heuristics are presented to tune the parameters of the proposed model to the measured data from the database. Furthermore, an admission controller is presented, and its parameters are tuned to control the response time of queries which are sent to the database to stay below a predefined reference value.
The second track includes one paper, covering a problem formulation and optimal solution for a content replication problem in Telecom operator's content delivery networks (Telco-CDNs). The problem is formulated in the form of an integer programming problem trying to minimize the communication delay and cost according to several constraints such as limited content replication budget, limited storage size and limited downlink bandwidth of each regional content server. The solution of this problem is a performance bound for any distributed content replication algorithm which addresses the same problem. (Less)
