A Distributed System Reference Architecture for Adaptive QoS and Resource Management
White Paper There are several implications of these characteristics: demand space workload characterizations may need to be determined a posteriori, and an adaptive approach to resource allocation may be necessary to accommodate... [18 Jul 2008]
IDC Report -- Increasing Business Performance: Using Virtualization for SAP Applications on IBM System p Servers
White Paper Through first-person interviews, you'll learn how they ensured their technology could meet workload needs in real time and handle long-term IT demands. Can your SAP platform handle the unpredictability of business? [17 Jul 2008]
Introduction to HiperDispatch Management Mode with z10
White Paper By exchanging information, z/OS is aware of the topology between logical processors and physical processors and PR/SM is aware of an affinity between workload executing on logical processors and the physical processors... [17 Jul 2008]
The Scalability Revolution: From Dead End to Open Road
White Paper Application workload is growing at an increasing pace, making scalability a prime concern of application designers and administrators. This paper defines scalability, and shows that inherent scalability barriers... [11 Jul 2008]
Legal Application Throttled by Internet Connection
White Paper Business growth and the desire for improved efficiency resulted in the adoption of a more comprehensive case management system capable of coping with the increase in complexity and workload. I t quickly became clear that... [11 Jul 2008]
Efficient Use of Memory Bandwidth to Improve Network Processor Throughput
White Paper The problem addressed in this paper is that a typical NP workload may be unable to utilize the peak DRAM bandwidth. This paper considers the efficiency of packet buffers used in packet switches built using Network... [11 Jul 2008]
On System Scalability
White Paper This scalability problem (i.e.the inability of a system to accommodate an increased workload) is not new. A significant number of systems fail in initial use, or even during integration, because factors that have a... [11 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. [10 Jul 2008]
Decentralized Load Balancing for Highly Irregular Search Problems
White Paper This paper presents a Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) policy for problems characterized by a highly irregular search tree, whereby no reliable workload prediction is available. DLB approaches based on global statistics are... [10 Jul 2008]
Hash-Based Proximity Clustering for Load Balancing in Heterogeneous DHT Networks
White Paper The objective of DHT load balancing is to balance the workload of the network nodes in proportion to their capacity so as to eliminate traffic bottleneck. DHT networks based on consistent hashing functions have an... [10 Jul 2008]
An Approach to Adaptive Load Balancing for RFID Middlewares
White Paper Load balancing is a fundamental technique for providing scalability of systems by moving workload from overloaded nodes to under-loaded nodes. Recently, there have been an increasing interest in RFID system and RFID... [10 Jul 2008]
Random Choices for Churn Resilient Load Balancing in Peer-to-Peer Networks
White Paper The objective of load balancing in P2P networks is to balance the workload of the network nodes in proportion to their capacity so as to eliminate traffic bottleneck. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks based on consistent... [10 Jul 2008]
Randomized Load Balancing With Non-Uniform Task Lengths
White Paper The objective of load balancing in P2P networks is to balance the workload of the network nodes in proportion to their capacity so as to eliminate traffic bottleneck. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks based on consistent... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in the Presence of Random Node Failure and Recovery
White Paper A Load-Balancing (LB) policy for such systems should therefore be robust, in terms of workload re-allocation and effectiveness in task completion, with respect to the random absence and re-emergence of nodes as well as... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Bounded-Latency Content Distribution
White Paper The solution involves constructing an overlay network based on the given latency bound, and a mechanism to assign content objects to the network nodes so that the workload of all the network nodes is balanced. [10 Jul 2008]
