A Mechanism That Bounds Execution Performance for Process Group for Mitigating CPU Abuse

چکیده
Secure OS has been the focus of several studies. However, CPU resources, which are important resources for executing a program, are not the object of access control. For preventing the abuse of CPU resources, we had earlier proposed a new type of execution resource that controls the maximum CPU usage [5, 6]. The previously proposed mechanism can control only one process at a time. Because most services involve multiple processes, the mechanism should control all the processes in each service. In this paper, we propose an improved mechanism that helps to achieve a bound on the execution performance of a process group, in order to limit unnecessary processor usage. We report the results of an evaluation of our proposed mechanism.

A CPU Usage Control Mechanism for Processes with Execution Resource for Mitigating CPU DoS Attack
In a ubiquitous environment, the hardware resources are limited; thus, an appropriate resource management mechanism is required for guaranteeing its processing activity. However, most operating systems (OSs) lack an access control mechanism for CPU resources to guarantee satisfactory processing and to safeguard the system from malicious attacks that affect the CPU resources, resulting in denial...
متن کاملWater Flooding Performance Evaluation Using Percolation Theory
Water flooding is a well-known secondary mechanism for improving oil recovery. Conventional approach to evaluate the performance of a water flooding process (e.g. breakthrough and post breakthrough behavior) is to establish a reliable geological reservoir model, upscale it, and then perform flow simulations. To evaluate the uncertainty in the breakthrough time or post breakthrough behavior, thi...
متن کاملImproving Data Grids Performance by Using Modified Dynamic Hierarchical Replication Strategy
Abstract: A Data Grid connects a collection of geographically distributed computational and storage resources that enables users to share data and other resources. Data replication, a technique much discussed by Data Grid researchers in recent years creates multiple copies of file and places them in various locations to shorten file access times. In this paper, a dynamic data replication strate...
متن کاملA New Composite CPU/Memory Model for Predicting Efficiency of Multi-core Processing
Techniques for predicting the efficiency of multi-core processing associated with a set of tasks with varied CPU and main memory requirements are introduced. Given a set of tasks each with different CPU and main memory requirements, and a multi-core system (which generally has fewer cores than the number of tasks), our goal is to derive equations for upperand lower-bounds to estimate the effici...
متن کاملMitigating starvation of Linux CPU-bound processes in the presence of network I/O
In prior research work, it has been demonstrated that Linux can starve CPU-bound processes in the presence of network I/O. The starvation of Linux CPU-bound processes occurs under the two Linux schedulers, namely the 2.6 O(1) scheduler and the more recent 2.6 Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS). In this paper, we analyze the underlying root causes of this starvation problem and we propose effective...
