Reliability-Aware Runtime Adaption Through a Statically Generated Task Schedule

Experience with statically-generated proxies for facilitating Java runtime specialisation

This paper discusses issues pertaining to mechanisms which can be used to change the behaviour of Java classes at runtime. The proxy mechanism will be compared to and contrasted with other standard approaches to this problem. Some of the problems the proxy mechanism is subject to will be expanded upon. The question of whether statically-developed proxies are a viable alternative to bytecode rew...

Runtime Adaption Techniques for HPC Applications

High Performance Computing (HPC) has reshaped science and industry in many areas. Recent groundbreaking achievements in biology, drug design and medical computing would not have been possible without the usage of massive computational resources. However, software development for HPC systems is currently facing significant challenges, since many of the software technologies applied in the last t...

Compensation-Aware Runtime Monitoring

To avoid large overheads induced by runtime monitoring, the use of asynchronous log-based monitoring is sometimes adopted — even though this implies that the system may proceed further despite having reached an anomalous state. Any actions performed by the system after the error occurring are undesirable, since for instance, an unchecked malicious user may perform unauthorized actions. Since st...

Reliability Aware Task Scheduling In Wireless Hetrogeneous Systems

A distributed operating system is one that looks to its user like an ordinary centralized operating system, but runs on multiple, independent nodes. A distributed operating system should: control resource allocation to allow their use in the most effective way; provide the user with a convenient virtual computer that serves as a high-level programming environment; hide the distribution of the r...
