Experimenting An Edge-Cloud Computing Model On The Gpulab Fed4fire Testbed, Vikas Tomer, Sachin Sharma

Conference papers

There are various open testbeds available for testing algorithms and prototypes, including the Fed4Fire testbeds. This demo paper illustrates how the GPULAB Fed4Fire testbed can be used to test an edge-cloud model that employs an ensemble machine learning algorithm for detecting attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT). We compare experimentation times and other performance metrics of our model based on different characteristics of the testbed, such as GPU model, CPU speed, and memory. Our goal is to demonstrate how an edge-computing model can be run on the GPULab testbed. Results indicate that this use case can be deployed seamlessly …

Evaluating Load Adjusted Learning Strategies For Client Service Levels Prediction From Cloud-Hosted Video Servers, Ruairí De Fréin, Obinna Izima, Mark Davis

Conference papers

Network managers that succeed in improving the accuracy of client video service level predictions, where the video is deployed in a cloud infrastructure, will have the ability to deliver responsive, SLA-compliant service to their customers. Meeting up-time guarantees, achieving rapid first-call resolution, and minimizing time-to-recovery af- ter video service outages will maintain customer loyalty.

To date, regression-based models have been applied to generate these predictions for client machines using the kernel metrics of a server clus- ter. The effect of time-varying loads on cloud-hosted video servers, which arise due to dynamic user requests have not been leveraged to improve prediction …
