Application Of Secretary Algorithm To Dynamic Load Balancing In User-Space On Multicore Systems, Kyoung-Hwan Yun Apr 2013

Application Of Secretary Algorithm To Dynamic Load Balancing In User-Space On Multicore Systems, Kyoung-Hwan Yun

Master's Projects

In recent years, multicore processors have been so prevalent in many types of
systems and are now widely used even in commodities for a wide range of applications.
Although multicore processors are clearly a popular hardware solution to problems that
were not possible with traditional single-core processors, taking advantage of them are
inevitably met by software challenges. As Amdahl’s law puts it, the performance gain is
limited by the percentage of the software that cannot be run in parallel on multiple cores.
Even when an application is “embarrassingly” parallelized by a careful design of
algorithm and implementation, load balancing of …


Mongodb Performance In The Cloud, Tudor Matei Apr 2013

Mongodb Performance In The Cloud, Tudor Matei

Master's Projects

Web applications are growing at a staggering rate every day. As web applications keep getting more complex, their data storage requirements tend to grow exponentially. Databases play an important role in the way web applications store their information. Mongodb is a document store database that does not have strict schemas that RDBMs require and can grow horizontally without performance degradation. MongoDB brings possibilities for different storage scenarios and allow the programmers to use the database as a storage that fits their needs, not the other way around. Scaling MongoDB horizontally requires tens to hundreds of servers, making it very difficult …
