Enabling Third Layer Bitcoin Applications Using Lightning Network, Ahmet Kurt
Enabling Third Layer Bitcoin Applications Using Lightning Network, Ahmet Kurt
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
When Bitcoin was introduced in 2009, it created a big sensation in the world as it was first of its kind. Since then, a lot of different cryptocurrencies were proposed. Today, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay for goods and services similar to using cash or credit cards. However, none of them could replace or supersede Bitcoin in usage or market capitalization. Current market conditions still imply that it will stay the same way. However, Bitcoin suffers from very low transaction per second (TPS) which limits its usability on large scale. There have been numerous proposals to increase its scalability …
Rethinking The I/O Stack For Persistent Memory, Mohammad Ataur Rahman Chowdhury
Rethinking The I/O Stack For Persistent Memory, Mohammad Ataur Rahman Chowdhury
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Modern operating systems have been designed around the hypotheses that (a) memory is both byte-addressable and volatile and (b) storage is block addressable and persistent. The arrival of new Persistent Memory (PM) technologies, has made these assumptions obsolete. Despite much of the recent work in this space, the need for consistently sharing PM data across multiple applications remains an urgent, unsolved problem. Furthermore, the availability of simple yet powerful operating system support remains elusive.
In this dissertation, we propose and build The Region System – a high-performance operating system stack for PM that implements usable consistency and persistence for application …
Optimizing Main Memory Usage In Modern Computing Systems To Improve Overall System Performance, Daniel Jose Campello
Optimizing Main Memory Usage In Modern Computing Systems To Improve Overall System Performance, Daniel Jose Campello
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Operating Systems use fast, CPU-addressable main memory to maintain an application’s temporary data as anonymous data and to cache copies of persistent data stored in slower block-based storage devices. However, the use of this faster memory comes at a high cost. Therefore, several techniques have been implemented to use main memory more efficiently in the literature. In this dissertation we introduce three distinct approaches to improve overall system performance by optimizing main memory usage.
First, DRAM and host-side caching of file system data are used for speeding up virtual machine performance in today’s virtualized data centers. The clustering of VM …
Sustainable Resource Management For Cloud Data Centers, A. S. M. Hasan Mahmud
Sustainable Resource Management For Cloud Data Centers, A. S. M. Hasan Mahmud
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, the demand for data center computing has increased significantly due to the growing popularity of cloud applications and Internet-based services. Today's large data centers host hundreds of thousands of servers and the peak power rating of a single data center may even exceed 100MW. The combined electricity consumption of global data centers accounts for about 3% of worldwide production, raising serious concerns about their carbon footprint. The utility providers and governments are consistently pressuring data center operators to reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption. While these operators (e.g., Apple, Facebook, and Google) have taken steps to …
Techniques For Efficient Execution Of Large-Scale Scientific Workflows In Distributed Environments, Selim Kalayci
Techniques For Efficient Execution Of Large-Scale Scientific Workflows In Distributed Environments, Selim Kalayci
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Scientific exploration demands heavy usage of computational resources for large-scale and deep analysis in many different fields. The complexity or the sheer scale of the computational studies can sometimes be encapsulated in the form of a workflow that is made up of numerous dependent components. Due to its decomposable and parallelizable nature, different components of a scientific workflow may be mapped over a distributed resource infrastructure to reduce time to results. However, the resource infrastructure may be heterogeneous, dynamic, and under diverse administrative control. Workflow management tools are utilized to help manage and deal with various aspects in the lifecycle …
Real-Time Scheduling Of Embedded Applications On Multi-Core Platforms, Ming Fan
Real-Time Scheduling Of Embedded Applications On Multi-Core Platforms, Ming Fan
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For the past several decades, we have experienced the tremendous growth, in both scale and scope, of real-time embedded systems, thanks largely to the advances in IC technology. However, the traditional approach to get performance boost by increasing CPU frequency has been a way of past. Researchers from both industry and academia are turning their focus to multi-core architectures for continuous improvement of computing performance. In our research, we seek to develop efficient scheduling algorithms and analysis methods in the design of real-time embedded systems on multi-core platforms. Real-time systems are the ones with the response time as critical as …
Trajectory Privacy Preservation In Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, Xinyu Jin
Trajectory Privacy Preservation In Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, Xinyu Jin
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, there has been an enormous growth of location-aware devices, such as GPS embedded cell phones, mobile sensors and radio-frequency identification tags. The age of combining sensing, processing and communication in one device, gives rise to a vast number of applications leading to endless possibilities and a realization of mobile Wireless Sensor Network (mWSN) applications. As computing, sensing and communication become more ubiquitous, trajectory privacy becomes a critical piece of information and an important factor for commercial success. While on the move, sensor nodes continuously transmit data streams of sensed values and spatiotemporal information, known as ``trajectory information". …
