The Influence of Different Workload Descriptions on a Heuristic Load Balancing Scheme
- IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
, 1991
"... This paper discusses load balancing heuristics in a general-purpose distributed computer system. To minimize the mean response time of a task, every new task is scheduled to be executed either locally or at a remote host, depending upon the current load distribution. We implemented a task scheduler ..."

. These workload descriptions characterize the load at one host and determine, whether a newly created task is to be executed locally or remotely. Six single workload descriptors have been examined. Also, two more complex workload descriptions combining single workload descriptors were considered. The best results
Cutting the Electric Bill for Internet-Scale Systems
"... Energy expenses are becoming an increasingly important fraction of data center operating costs. At the same time, the energy expense per unit of computation can vary significantly between two different locations. In this paper, we characterize the variation due to fluctuating electricity prices and ..."

electricity prices, for twenty nine locations in the US, and network traffic data collected on Akamai’s CDN, we use simulation to quantify the possible economic gains for a realistic workload. Our results imply that existing systems may be able to save millions of dollars a year in electricity costs, by being

"... Flash memory won its edge over many other storage media for embedded systems, because it provides better tolerance to the extreme environments which embedded systems are exposed to. In this paper, techniques referred to as wear leveling for the lengthening of flash-memory overall lifespan are consid ..."

Methodlevel phase behavior in java workloads
- In OOPSLA ’04: Proceedings of the 19th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications
, 2004
"... Java workloads are becoming more and more prominent on various computing devices. Understanding the behavior of a Java workload which includes the interaction between the application and the virtual machine (VM), is thus of primary importance during performance analysis and optimization. Moreover, a ..."

How to Parameterize Models with Bursty Workloads
, 2008
"... Although recent advances in theory indicate that burstiness in the service time process can be handled effectively by queueing models (e.g., MAP queueing networks [2]), there is a lack of understanding and of practical results on how to perform model parameterization, especially when this model para ..."

Evaluating the Performance of Distributed Architectures for Information Retrieval using a Variety of Workloads
- ACM Transactions on Information Systems
, 1997
"... Information explosion across the Internet and elsewhere offers access to an increasing number of document collections. In order for users to effectively access these collections, information retrieval (IR) systems must provide coordinated, concurrent, and distributed access. In this paper, we desc ..."

To refine this prototype, we implement a flexible simulation model which we use to present a series of experiments using a variety of workloads that measure system performance. We vary numerous system parameters
