Automated Program Profiling And Analysis For Managing Heterogeneous Memory Systems, Adam Palmer Howard
Automated Program Profiling And Analysis For Managing Heterogeneous Memory Systems, Adam Palmer Howard
Masters Theses
Many promising memory technologies, such as non-volatile, storage-class memories and high-bandwidth, on-chip RAMs, are beginning to emerge. Since each of these new technologies present tradeoffs distinct from conventional DRAMs, next-generation systems are likely to include multiple tiers of memory storage, each with their own type of devices. To efficiently utilize the available hardware, such systems will need to alter their data management strategies to consider the performance and capabilities provided by each tier.
This work explores a variety of cross-layer strategies for managing application data in heterogeneous memory systems. We propose different program profiling-based techniques to automatically partition program allocation …
Adaft: A Resource-Efficient Framework For Adaptive Fault-Tolerance In Cyber-Physical Systems, Ye Xu
Adaft: A Resource-Efficient Framework For Adaptive Fault-Tolerance In Cyber-Physical Systems, Ye Xu
Doctoral Dissertations
Cyber-physical systems frequently have to use massive redundancy to meet application requirements for high reliability. While such redundancy is required, it can be activated adaptively, based on the current state of the controlled plant. Most of the time the physical plant is in a state that allows for a lower level of fault-tolerance. Avoiding the continuous deployment of massive fault-tolerance will greatly reduce the workload of CPSs. In this dissertation, we demonstrate a software simulation framework (AdaFT) that can automatically generate the sub-spaces within which our adaptive fault-tolerance can be applied. We also show the theoretical benefits of AdaFT, and …

Custom T-Shirt Designs, Ranjan Khadka
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Custom T-shirt Designs is a web-based application. The purpose of this project is to provide a website that would allow customers to be able to customize T-shirt and place an order of custom T-shirt. Customers can sign up, sign in, select T-shirt color, add text, choose Font, choose Font color, upload an image, apply filters to images, transform text or images, choose T-shirt size and save designs for future references. Customers would be able to add the design to a cart, manage cart and checkout with their credit card to purchase for the order and view their previous orders. The …
Switching Between Page Replacement Algorithms Based On Work Load During Runtime In Linux Kernel, Praveen Subramaniyam
Switching Between Page Replacement Algorithms Based On Work Load During Runtime In Linux Kernel, Praveen Subramaniyam
Master's Projects
Today’s computers are equipped with multiple processor cores to execute multiple programs effectively at a single point of time. This increase in the number of cores needs to be equipped with a huge amount of physical memory to keep multiple applications in memory at a time and to effectively switch between them, without getting affected by the low speed disk memory. The physical memory of today’s world has become so cheap such that all the computer systems are always equipped with sufficient amount of physical memory required effectively to run most of the applications. Along with the memory, the sizes …
Programming Models' Support For Heterogeneous Architecture, Wei Wu
Programming Models' Support For Heterogeneous Architecture, Wei Wu
Doctoral Dissertations
Accelerator-enhanced computing platforms have drawn a lot of attention due to their massive peak computational capacity. Heterogeneous systems equipped with accelerators such as GPUs have become the most prominent components of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Even at the node level the significant heterogeneity of CPU and GPU, i.e. hardware and memory space differences, leads to challenges for fully exploiting such complex architectures. Extending outside the node scope, only escalate such challenges.
Conventional programming models such as data- ow and message passing have been widely adopted in HPC communities. When moving towards heterogeneous systems, the lack of GPU integration causes …
Characterizing And Improving Power And Performance In Hpc Networks, Taylor L. Groves
Characterizing And Improving Power And Performance In Hpc Networks, Taylor L. Groves
Computer Science ETDs
Networks are the backbone of modern HPC systems. They serve as a critical piece of infrastructure, tying together applications, analytics, storage and visualization. Despite this importance, we have not fully explored how evolving communication paradigms and network design will impact scientific workloads. As networks expand in the race towards Exascale (1×10^18 floating point operations a second), we need to reexamine this relationship so that the HPC community better understands (1) characteristics and trends in HPC communication; (2) how to best design HPC networks to save power or enhance the performance; (3) how to facilitate scalable, informed, and dynamic decisions within …

Machs: Mitigating The Achilles Heel Of The Cloud Through High Availability And Performance-Aware Solutions, Manar Jammal
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Cloud computing is continuously growing as a business model for hosting information and communication technology applications. However, many concerns arise regarding the quality of service (QoS) offered by the cloud. One major challenge is the high availability (HA) of cloud-based applications. The key to achieving availability requirements is to develop an approach that is immune to cloud failures while minimizing the service level agreement (SLA) violations. To this end, this thesis addresses the HA of cloud-based applications from different perspectives. First, the thesis proposes a component’s HA-ware scheduler (CHASE) to manage the deployments of carrier-grade cloud applications while maximizing their …
A Sandbox In Which To Learn And Develop Soar Agents, Daniel Lugo
A Sandbox In Which To Learn And Develop Soar Agents, Daniel Lugo
Theses and Dissertations
It is common for military personnel to leverage simulations (and simulators) as cost-effective tools to train and become proficient at various tasks (e.g., flying an aircraft and/or performing a mission, among others). These training simulations often need to represent humans within the simulated world in a realistic manner. Realistic implies creating simulated humans that exhibit behaviors that mimic real-world decision making and actions. Typically, to create the decision-making logic, techniques developed from the domain of artificial intelligence are used. Although there are several approaches to developing intelligent agents; we focus on leveraging and open source project called Soar, to define …
On Leveraging Multi-Path Transport In Mobile Networks, Yeon-Sup Lim
On Leveraging Multi-Path Transport In Mobile Networks, Yeon-Sup Lim
Doctoral Dissertations
Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) is a new transport protocol that enables mobile devices to simultaneously use several physical paths through multiple network interfaces. MPTCP is particularly useful for mobile devices, which usually have multiple wireless interfaces such as IEEE 802.11 (WiFi), cellular (3G/LTE), and Bluetooth. However, applying MPTCP to mobile devices introduces new concerns since they operate in harsh environments with resource constraints due to intermittent path availability and limited power supply. The goal of this thesis is to resolve these problems so as to be able to practically deploy MPTCP in mobile devices. The first part of the thesis develops …
