Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the popularity of cloud computing systems that rent computing resources on-demand, bill on a pay-as-you-go basis, and multiplex many users on the same physical infrastructure. These cloud computing environments provide an illusion of infinite computing resources to cloud users so that they can increase or decrease their resource consumption rate according to the demands. At the same time, the cloud environment poses a number of challenges. Two players in cloud computing environments, cloud providers and cloud users, pursue different goals; providers want to maximize revenue by achieving high resource utilization, while users want to minimize expenses while meeting their performance requirements. However, it is difficult to allocate resources in a mutually optimal way due to the lack of information sharing between them. Moreover, ever-increasing heterogeneity and variability of the environment poses even harder challenges for both parties. In this thesis, we address "the cloud resource management problem", which is to allocate and schedule computing resources in a way that providers achieve high resource utilization and users meet their applications' performance requirements with minimum expenditure. We approach the problem from various aspects, using MapReduce as our target application. From provider's perspective, we propose a topology-aware resource placement solution to overcome the lack of information sharing between providers and users. From user's point of view, we present a resource allocation scheme to maintain a pool of leased resources in a cost-effective way and a progress share-based job scheduling algorithm that achieves high performance and fairness simultaneously in a heterogeneous cloud environment. To deal with variability in resource capacity and application performance in the Cloud, we develop a method to predict the job completion time distribution that is applicable to making sophisticated trade-off decisions in resource allocation and scheduling. Our evaluation shows that these methods can improve efficiency and effectiveness of cloud computing systems.

Download or read book Intelligent Decision Systems in Large Scale Distributed Environments written by Pascal Bouvry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most challenging issues for the intelligent decision systems is to effectively manage the large-scale complex distributed environments such as computational clouds, grids, ad hoc and P2P networks, under the different types of users, their relations, and real-world uncertainties. In this context the IT resources and services usually belong to different owners (institutions, enterprises, or individuals) and are managed by different administrators. These administrators conform to different sets of rules and configuration directives, and can impose different usage policies on the system users. Additionally, uncertainties are presented in various types of information that are incomplete, imprecise, fragmentary or overloading, which hinders the full and precise determination of the evaluation criteria, their subsequent and selection, the assignment scores, and eventually the final integrated decision result. This book presents new ideas, analysis, implementations and evaluation of the next generation intelligent techniques for solving complex decision problems in large-scale distributed systems. In 15 chapters several important formulations of the decision problems in heterogeneous environments are identified and a review of the recent approaches, from game theoretical models and computational intelligent techniques, such as genetic, memetic and evolutionary algorithms, to intelligent multi-agent systems and networking are presented. We believe that this volume will serve as a reference for the students, researchers and industry practitioners working in or are interested in joining interdisciplinary works in the areas of intelligent decision systems using emergent distributed computing paradigms. It will also allow newcomers to grasp key concerns and potential solutions on the selected topics.

Download or read book Time Division Dominant Resource Allocation in Cloud Environments written by Xu Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing service in cloud is a popular trend nowadays. Users request resources from a shared pool in a framework like Hadoop, and the Hadoop fair scheduler controls the progress of tasks from users. In cloud, usually multiple resource types are available. The heterogeneous user demands and competition between users in cloud make the fairness control of multiple-resource allocation much more complicated than the single-resource allocation. A recent work proposed a Dominant Resource Fairness (DRF) method for multiple-resource allocation, which has been included in Hadoop Next-Generation. However, DRF may not lead to desired fairness performance as a result of the indivisibility of the user demands. This thesis proposes a Time Division Allocation (TDA) method with time slots for two users. The TDA method allocates resources over the time slots and each time slot is assigned a different allocation. By adjusting the length of the time slots and the resource allocations, TDA method can achieve a global optimal max-min fairness. A further study shows that two time slots are sufficient to achieve optimality. Besides the analysis about fairness, this thesis also explores the theoretical performance bounds for two users. This analysis illustrates the relationship between user demands and the maximum dominant resource share. The evaluation shows that the TDA method performs better than the DRF method.
