Sustainable Resource Management For Cloud Data Centers, A. S. M. Hasan Mahmud Jun 2016

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 …


Real-Time Scheduling Of Embedded Applications On Multi-Core Platforms, Ming Fan Mar 2014

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 …
