Performance Optimization Of Big Data Computing Workflows For Batch And Stream Data Processing In Multi-Clouds, Huiyan Cao Dec 2020

Performance Optimization Of Big Data Computing Workflows For Batch And Stream Data Processing In Multi-Clouds, Huiyan Cao

Dissertations

Workflow techniques have been widely used as a major computing solution in many science domains. With the rapid deployment of cloud infrastructures around the globe and the economic benefits of cloud-based computing and storage services, an increasing number of scientific workflows have migrated or are in active transition to clouds. As the scale of scientific applications continues to grow, it is now common to deploy various data- and network-intensive computing workflows such as serial computing workflows, MapReduce/Spark-based workflows, and Storm-based stream data processing workflows in multi-cloud environments, where inter-cloud data transfer oftentimes plays a significant role in both workflow performance …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Sharing digital medical records on public cloud storage via mobile devices facilitates patients (doctors) to get (offer) medical treatment of high quality and efficiency. However, challenges such as data privacy protection, flexible data sharing, efficient authority delegation, computation efficiency optimization, are remaining toward achieving practical fine-grained access control in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. In this work, we propose an innovative access control model and a fine-grained data sharing mechanism for EMR, which simultaneously achieves the above-mentioned features and is suitable for resource-constrained mobile devices. In the model, complex computation is outsourced to public cloud servers, leaving almost no …


Energy And Performance-Optimized Scheduling Of Tasks In Distributed Cloud And Edge Computing Systems, Haitao Yuan Aug 2020

Energy And Performance-Optimized Scheduling Of Tasks In Distributed Cloud And Edge Computing Systems, Haitao Yuan

Dissertations

Infrastructure resources in distributed cloud data centers (CDCs) are shared by heterogeneous applications in a high-performance and cost-effective way. Edge computing has emerged as a new paradigm to provide access to computing capacities in end devices. Yet it suffers from such problems as load imbalance, long scheduling time, and limited power of its edge nodes. Therefore, intelligent task scheduling in CDCs and edge nodes is critically important to construct energy-efficient cloud and edge computing systems. Current approaches cannot smartly minimize the total cost of CDCs, maximize their profit and improve quality of service (QoS) of tasks because of aperiodic arrival …


Towards Dynamic Vehicular Clouds, Aida Ghazizadeh Aug 2020

Towards Dynamic Vehicular Clouds, Aida Ghazizadeh

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Motivated by the success of the conventional cloud computing, Vehicular Clouds were introduced as a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication, and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. One of the attributes that set Vehicular Clouds apart from conventional clouds is resource volatility. As vehicles enter and leave the cloud, new computing resources become available while others depart, creating a volatile environment where the task of reasoning about fundamental performance metrics becomes very challenging. The goal of this thesis is to design an architecture and model for a dynamic Vehicular Cloud built on …


Qos-Aware Scheduling For Data Intensive Workflow, Wan Cong, Cuirong Wang, Wang Cong Jul 2020

Qos-Aware Scheduling For Data Intensive Workflow, Wan Cong, Cuirong Wang, Wang Cong

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The development of technology enables people to access resources from different data centers. Resource management and scheduling of applications, such as workflow, that are deployed on the cloud computing environment have already become a hot spot. A QoS-aware scheduling algorithm for data intensive workflow on multiple data center environment was proposed. Scheduling data intensive workflow on multiple data center environment has two characteristics: A large amount of data is distributed in different geographical locations, the process of data migration will consume a large amount of time and bandwidth; secondly, the data centers have different price and resources. Data migration …


Information Collaboration Model Of Cloud Computing Supply Chain Based On Multi-Agent, Wuxue Jiang, Xuanzi Hu, Minxia Liu, Yuqiang Chen Jul 2020

Information Collaboration Model Of Cloud Computing Supply Chain Based On Multi-Agent, Wuxue Jiang, Xuanzi Hu, Minxia Liu, Yuqiang Chen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In order to improve the work efficiency of supply chain in cloud computing and avoid the risks of cloud computing, a cloud-based supply chain information coordination model was proposed. The model has two basic states which are online status and offline status, at online state the cloud computing center is responsible for coordination of the entire supply chain information, and at offline state each node continues to complete the transaction order through the history record and each node information in the cloud data center. Simulation based on Multi-agent shows that the order completion rate in offline status is …


A Novel Greedy Based Algorithm For Resource Allocation In Cloud Computing Environment, Vijendra Pratap Singh Jun 2020

A Novel Greedy Based Algorithm For Resource Allocation In Cloud Computing Environment, Vijendra Pratap Singh

Manipal Journal of Science and Technology

Resource allocation in a cloud computing environment means a mechanism to allocate different cloudlets to the available cloud resources on the basis of some criteria like cloudlets’ characteristics and/or requirements. It is one of the major challenges for cloud providers. Cloud providers have introduced many models for resource allocation. In this paper, we have proposed a greedy-based resource allocation algorithm. Here, first of all, the given cloudlets are classified into two categories: computational cloudlets and interactive cloudlets on the basis of some parameters. Next according to their category, they are allocated differently. The performance metrics of this newly proposed algorithm …


Performance Modeling Of Cryptographic Service System Virtualization Based On Issm, Songhui Guo, Qingbao Li, Sun Lei, Xuerong Gong, Tianchi Yang Jun 2020

Performance Modeling Of Cryptographic Service System Virtualization Based On Issm, Songhui Guo, Qingbao Li, Sun Lei, Xuerong Gong, Tianchi Yang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The complicated architecture of cryptographic service system virtualization raised the difficulty of performance modeling. A performance modeling approach based on ISSMs was proposed. The approach divided the execution process into two stages, host preprocessing and arithmetic-module calculating, and built two sub-models based on queuing theory. On this basis, the effectiveness of this approach was verified. The results show that this method can analyze the impacts on system performance caused by task arrival rates, host and cryptographic card configurations quantitatively, and also be helpful for providing reasonable solutions to deploy virtualized cryptographic service system on cloud computing platforms.
