Power Management In The Cluster System, Leping Wang Jun 2014

Power Management In The Cluster System, Leping Wang

Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

With growing cost of electricity, the power management of server clusters has become an important problem. However, most previous researchers have only addressed the challenge in traditional homogeneous environments. Considering the increasing popularity of heterogeneous and virtualized systems, this thesis develops a series of efficient algorithms respectively for power management of heterogeneous soft real-time clusters and a virtualized cluster system. It is built on simple but effective mathematical models. When deployed to a new platform, the software incurs low configuration cost because no extensive performance measurements and profiling are required. Built upon optimization, queuing theory and control theory techniques, our …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Clustering refers to the task of partitioning unlabelled data into meaningful groups (clusters). It is a useful approach in data mining processes for identifying hidden patterns and revealing underlying knowledge from large data collections. The application areas of clustering, to name a few, include image segmentation, information retrieval, document classification, associate rule mining, web usage tracking, and transaction analysis.
