RL-based Scheduling Strategies in Actual Grid Environments

Publicação
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2008 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING WITH APPLICATIONS

Abstract
In this work, we study the behaviour of different resource scheduling strategies when doing job orchestration in grid environments. We empirically demonstrate that scheduling strategies based on Reinforcement Learning are a good choice to improve the overall performance of grid applications and resource utilization.

Personal Autonomic Desktop Manager with a circulatory computing approach

Autores

Publicação
PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING OF AUTONOMIC & AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS (EASE 2008)

Abstract
In this paper we present the architecture for the Personal Autonomic Desktop Manager, a self managing application designed to act on behalf of the user in several aspects: protection, healing, optimization and configuration. The overall goal of this research is to improve the correlation of the autonomic self* properties and doing so also enhance the overall self-management capacity of the desktop (autonomicity). We introduce the Circulatory Computing (CC) model, a self-managing system initiative based on the biological metaphor of the cardiovascular system, and use its concepts in the design and implementation of the architecture.

Abstract
In this work we build the first BI-RADS parser for Portuguese free texts, modeled after existing approaches to extract BI-RADS features from English medical records. Our concept finder uses a semantic grammar based on the BI-RADS lexicon and on iterative transferred expert knowledge. We compare the performance of our algorithm to manual annotation by a specialist in mammography. Our results show that our parser's performance is comparable to the manual method. © 2012 IEEE.

CONCURRENCY AND COMPUTATION-PRACTICE & EXPERIENCE

Abstract
One of the challenges in Grid computing research is to provide a means to automatically submit, manage, and monitor applications whose main characteristic is to be composed of a large number of tasks. The large number of explicit tasks, generally placed on a centralized job queue, can cause several problems: (1) they can quickly exhaust the memory of the submission machine; (2) they can deteriorate the response time of the submission machine due to these demanding too many open ports to manage remote execution of each of the tasks; (3) they may cause network traffic congestion if all tasks try to transfer input and/or output files across the network at the same time; (4) they make it impossible for the user to follow execution progress without an automatic tool or interface; (5) they may depend on fault-tolerance mechanisms implemented at application level to ensure that all tasks terminate successfully. In this work we present and validate a novel architectural model, GRAND (Grid Robust ApplicatioN Deployment), whose main objective is to deal with the submission of a large numbers of tasks.

Study of hybrid coherence protocols for parallel logic programming systems

Publicação
Proceedings of the IASTED International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Systems

Abstract
This work investigates the impact of hybrid coherence protocols on non-scientific applications. We use execution-driven simulation of a scalable multiprocessor and compare the results obtained with a hybrid protocol with a well-known invalidate protocol and an update-based protocol. Our results show that for our sample programs a hybrid protocol with high threshold outperforms both the invalidate-based and update-based protocols, regardless of the type of parallelism exhibited by the benchmarks. We conclude that our applications can benefit from a hybrid protocol, and that multiprocessors designed for running these systems efficiently should adopt some form of hybrid protocol.
