TL;DR: This work presents a design for an power-proportional cluster consisting of a power-aware cluster manager and a set of heterogeneous machines that makes use of currently available energy-efficient hardware, mechanisms for transitioning in and out of low-power sleep states, and dynamic provisioning and scheduling to continually adjust to workload and minimize power consumption.

TL;DR: A set of operating system services called BOSS is developed, which supports multiple portable, fault-tolerant applications on top of the distributed physical resources present in large commercial buildings.

TL;DR: An approach for how to design an essentially more scalable, flexible and resilient electric power infrastructure – one that encourages efficient use, integrates local generation, and manages demand through omnipresent awareness of energy availability and use over time is described.

TL;DR: Clustera is designed for extensibility, enabling the system to be easily extended to handle a wide variety of job types ranging from computationally-intensive, long-running jobs with minimal I/O requirements to complex SQL queries over massive relational tables.

TL;DR: This work uses model checking to evaluate whether common protection techniques used in parity-based RAID systems are sufficient in light of the increasingly complex failure modes of modern disk drives and identifies a parity pollution problem that spreads corrupt data across multiple disks, thus leading to data loss or corruption.
