Optimal Policies for Multi-level Adaptive Distributed Computer Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern distributed applications, such as distributed multi-media and mobile applications, face unpredictable operating conditions and load variations. Performance cannot be designed into such applications in advance; they have to be able to tune themselves into unexpected environments and to adapt to changes over time. We see many examples of single adaptations in applications and middleware, but the opportunities are even greater if many features of the system, at all levels, are adaptive. This paper proposes an architecture to support coordinated adaptive changes in all levels (application, middleware and operating system), with an optimal controller at its core. The controller uses optimal policies based on Markov Decision Processes (MDP) which seek to satisfy a set of system quality-of-service and resource-usage goals.

متن کاملOptimizing Teleportation Cost in Multi-Partition Distributed Quantum Circuits
There are many obstacles in quantum circuits implementation with large scales, so distributed quantum systems are appropriate solution for these quantum circuits. Therefore, reducing the number of quantum teleportation leads to improve the cost of implementing a quantum circuit. The minimum number of teleportations can be considered as a measure of the efficiency of distributed quantum systems....
