Performance Prediction of Distributed Applications

Predicting Performance in Distributed Enterprise Applications

Distributed applications play an increasingly crucial role in business-critical enterprise operations. Understanding the performance of such applications is challenging yet essential due to their growing economic value. A particularly important problem is performance prediction: How will application-level performance vary in response to changes in workload? This paper presents a practical and a...

Multiple Networks for Heterogeneous Distributed Applications PDPTA’07

We have experienced in our distributed applications that the network is the main limiting factor for performances on clusters. Indeed clusters are cheap and it is easier to add more nodes to extend the computing capacity than to switch to costly high performance networks. Consequently the developer should especially take care of communications and synchronizations in its application design. The...

Application of Linear Regression and Artificial NeuralNetwork for Broiler Chicken Growth Performance Prediction

This study was conducted to investigate the prediction of growth performance using linear regression and artificial neural network (ANN) in broiler chicken. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are powerful tools for modeling systems in a wide range of applications. The ANN model with a back propagation algorithm successfully learned the relationship between the inputs of metabolizable energy (kca...
