Informed Data Distribution Selection in a Self-predicting Storage System (CMU-PDL-06-101)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Systems should be self-predicting. They should continuously monitor themselves and provide quantitative answers to What...if questions about hypothetical workload or resource changes. Self-prediction would significantly simplify administrators’ decision making, such as acquisition planning and performance tuning, by reducing the detailed workload and internal system knowledge required. This paper describes and evaluates support for self-prediction in a cluster-based storage system and its application to What...if questions about data distribution selection.

متن کاملObserver: Keeping System Models from Becoming Obsolete (CMU-PDL-07-101)
To be effective for automation, in practice, system models used for performance prediction and behavior checking must be robust. They must be able to cope with component upgrades, misconfigurations, and workload-system interactions that were not anticipated. This paper promotes making models self-evolving, such that they continuously evaluate their accuracy and adjust their predictions accordin...
متن کاملTowards Efficient Semantic Object Storage for the Home (CMU-PDL-06-103)
The home provides a new and challenging environment for data management. Devices in the home are extremely heterogeneous in terms of computational capability, capacity, and usage model. Yet, ideally, information would be shared easily across them. Current volume-based filesystems do not provide the flexibility to allow these specialized devices to keep an up-to-date copy of the information they...
متن کاملUrsa Minor: Versatile Cluster-based Storage (CMU-PDL-05-104)
No single encoding scheme or fault model is optimal for all data. A versatile storage system allows them to be matched to access patterns, reliability requirements, and cost goals on a per-data item basis. Ursa Minor is a cluster-based storage system that allows data-specific selection of, and on-line changes to, encoding schemes and fault models. Thus, different data types can share a scalable...
متن کاملChallenges and Opportunities in Internet Data Mining (CMU-PDL-06-102)
Internet measurement data provides the foundation for the operation and planning of the networks that comprise the Internet, and is a necessary component in research for analysis, simulation, and emulation. Despite its critical role, however, the management of this data—from collection and transmission to storage and its use within applications—remains primarily ad hoc, using techniques created...
