Performance and Power-Aware Modeling of MPI Applications for Cluster Computing
PublikacjaThe paper presents modeling of performance and power consumption when running parallel applications on modern cluster-based systems. The model includes basic so-called blocks representing either computations or communication. The latter includes both point-to-point and collective communication. Real measurements were performed using MPI applications and routines run on three different clusters with both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet...

Mobile devices and computing cloud resources allocation for interactive applications
PublikacjaUsing mobile devices such as smartphones or iPads for various interactive applications is currently very common. In the case of complex applications, e.g. chess games, the capabilities of these devices are insufficient to run the application in real time. One of the solutions is to use cloud computing. However, there is an optimization problem of mobile device and cloud resources allocation. An iterative heuristic algorithm for...

General Provisioning Strategy for Local Specialized Cloud Computing Environments
PublikacjaThe well-known management strategies in cloud computing based on SLA requirements are considered. A deterministic parallel provisioning algorithm has been prepared and used to show its behavior for three different requirements: load balancing, consolidation, and fault tolerance. The impact of these strategies on the total execution time of different sets of services is analyzed for randomly chosen sets of data. This makes it possible...

Energy-Aware Scheduling for High-Performance Computing Systems: A Survey
PublikacjaHigh-performance computing (HPC), according to its name, is traditionally oriented toward performance, especially the execution time and scalability of the computations. However, due to the high cost and environmental issues, energy consumption has already become a very important factor that needs to be considered. The paper presents a survey of energy-aware scheduling methods used in a modern HPC environment, starting with the...

Big Data and the Internet of Things in Edge Computing for Smart City
PublikacjaRequests expressing collective human expectations and outcomes from city service tasks can be partially satisfied by processing Big Data provided to a city cloud via the Internet of Things. To improve the efficiency of the city clouds an edge computing has been introduced regarding Big Data mining. This intelligent and efficient distributed system can be developed for citizens that are supposed to be informed and educated by the...

The Factors Affecting Group Identity of Cluster Structures
PublikacjaThe paper provides a new approach to cluster analysis, basing on a sociologically rooted concept of identity. The authors state that identity in cluster structures is formed by two main groups of factors – uncontrollable or slightly controllable factors (identity mix) and factors that can be fully controlled by a cluster initiative (corporate identity mix). It means that the cluster coordinator is able to consciously build the...
