چکیده
Research on the systems side of Computer Science straddles the line between science and engineering. Both aspects are important, so neither side should be ignored in favor of the other. In my research, I have sought to discover the underlying nature of the mechanisms responsible for a given behavior. Using this understanding, I could create a simple model of the process whose underlying science is hopefully applicable across a wide range of technologies. With this model, I could re-engineer the existing system to optimize its performance, and validate my changes with measurements on real systems when available. I have used this technique in a wide variety of applications, ranging from failure analysis to modeling energy usage of clusters on a per-request basis.

Self-Configuring Heterogeneous Server Clusters
Previous research on cluster-based servers has focused on homogeneous systems. However, real-life clusters are almost invariably heterogeneous in terms of the performance, capacity, and power consumption of their hardware components. In this paper, we describe a self-configuring Web server for a heterogeneous cluster. The self-configuration is guided by analytical models of throughput and power...
متن کاملThe Shape of Failure
Part of the difficulty in constructing highly available services is that a modern Internet service is mind-boggling in complexity. The application, database, operating system, and firmware contain thousands of interfaces and millions of lines of code. Worse, unlike many other highly available systems, the major components are created by different organizations with potentially different goals a...
متن کاملApplication-Supported Device Management for Energy and Performance
Energy conservation without performance degradation is an important goal for battery-operated computers, such as laptops and handheld assistants. In this paper we determine the potential benefits of application-supporteddevice managementfor optimizing energy and performance. In particular, we consider application transformations that increase device idle times and inform the operating system ab...
