Developing unused capacities

Hunt for Unused Servers

Modern enterprises critically depend on IT. However, enterprise IT environments are complex and poorly documented. As a result, various IT components are forgotten and unused. Recent estimates show that 30% of servers in datacenters are unused on average. Elimination of unused servers (physical and virtual) and software instances decreases costs, electricity consumption, risks of problems causi...

The Problem of Sensing Unused Cellular Spectrum

Sensing mechanisms that estimate the occupancy of wireless spectrum are crucial to the success of approaches based on Dynamic Spectrum Access. In this paper, we present key insights into this problem by empirically investigating the design of sensing mechanisms applied to check the availability of excess capacity in CDMA voice networks. We focus on power-based sensing mechanisms since they are ...

High Throughput Computing: Stealing Unused Cycles

High Throughput Computing systems (HTC) enable otherwise idles cycles to be available to computations that involve many independent tasks. In a Distributed Computing environment, distributed ownership of computing resources is the major obstacle HTC has to overcome to take advantage of under-utilized systems in the network. This paper addresses HTC and how it fits in current parallel and distri...
