Measurement Based Approach to Workload Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements are of fundamental importance for performance evaluation since they provide a picture of the behavior of the systems and of their load Experimental approaches to workload characterization are based on the application of techniques for the interpretation and the anal ysis of measurements A survey of the methodologies for modelling the load of various types of systems namely interactive distributed and parallel systems and databases is given on a few case studies

A Method for Measuring Energy Consumption in IaaS Cloud
The ability to measure the energy consumed by cloud infrastructure is a crucial step towards the development of energy efficiency policies in the cloud infrastructure. There are hardware-based and software-based methods of measuring energy usage in cloud infrastructure. However, most hardware-based energy measurement methods measure the energy consumed system-wide - including the energy lost in...
متن کاملWorkload Characterization of CFD Applications Using Partial Differential Equation Solvers
Workload characterization is used for modeling and evaluating computing systems at different levels of detail. We present workload characterization for a class of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications that solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). This workload characterization focuses on three high performance computing platforms: SGI Origin2000, IBM SP-2, and a cluster of Intel P...
متن کاملCycle Time Optimization of Processes Using an Entropy-Based Learning for Task Allocation
Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
