Improving Performance Of Bittorrent Network Through Incentive Mechanism, Mingzhe Li
Improving Performance Of Bittorrent Network Through Incentive Mechanism, Mingzhe Li
Master's Projects
Content Distribution via Internet has become increasingly popular right now. Compared with centralized file distribution system using FTP and HTTP protocols, P2P (Peer to Peer) is more cost-effective. Furthermore, it could help save on bandwidth costs and to handle pick demands. Among many P2P protocols, BitTorrent is one of the most popular protocols right now. The BitTorrent network uses tit-for-tat as a method of seeking Pareto efficiency. However, seeders who contribute more to BitTorrent network than leechers are not incentivized to stay online and upload to others. This paper discusses an incentive mechanism which rewards seeder, who stays in a …

Master's Projects
Social networks are at an all time high, nowadays. They make the world a smaller place to live in. People can stay in touch with friends and can make new friends on these social networks which traditionally were not possible without internet service. The possibilities provided by social networks enable vast and immediate contact. People tend to spend lot of time on the social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter peeping into their friend‟s accounts and trying to stay connected with the world.
However, recently people have started closing their accounts on these famous social networks after having been irritated …
Improving The Performance Of A Proxy Server Using Web Log Mining, Akshay Shenoy
Improving The Performance Of A Proxy Server Using Web Log Mining, Akshay Shenoy
Master's Projects
Web caching techniques have been widely used with the objective of caching as many web pages and web objects in the proxy server cache as possible to improve network performance. Web pre-fetching schemes have also been widely discussed where web pages and web objects are pre-fetched into the proxy server cache. This paper presents an approach that integrates web caching and web pre-fetching approach to improve the performance of proxy server’s cache.
Evaluation Of Classical Inter-Process Communication Problems In Parallel Programming Languages, Arunesh Joshi
Evaluation Of Classical Inter-Process Communication Problems In Parallel Programming Languages, Arunesh Joshi
Master's Projects
It is generally believed for the past several years that parallel programming is the future of computing technology due to its incredible speed and vastly superior performance as compared to classic linear programming. However, how sure are we that this is the case? Despite its aforesaid average superiority, usually parallel-program implementations run in single-processor machines, making the parallelism almost virtual. In this case, does parallel programming still remain superior?
The purpose of this document is to research and analyze the performance, in both storage and speed, of three parallel-programming language libraries: OpenMP, OpenMPI and PThreads, along with a few other …
