TLDR
Applying CloudCmp to four cloud providers that together account for most of the cloud customers today, it is found that their offered services vary widely in performance and costs, underscoring the need for thoughtful provider selection.Abstract:
While many public cloud providers offer pay-as-you-go computing, their varying approaches to infrastructure, virtualization, and software services lead to a problem of plenty. To help customers pick a cloud that fits their needs, we develop CloudCmp, a systematic comparator of the performance and cost of cloud providers. CloudCmp measures the elastic computing, persistent storage, and networking services offered by a cloud along metrics that directly reflect their impact on the performance of customer applications. CloudCmp strives to ensure fairness, representativeness, and compliance of these measurements while limiting measurement cost. Applying CloudCmp to four cloud providers that together account for most of the cloud customers today, we find that their offered services vary widely in performance and costs, underscoring the need for thoughtful provider selection. From case studies on three representative cloud applications, we show that CloudCmp can guide customers in selecting the best-performing provider for their applications.read more

Bandwidth as a service: Transport layer bandwidth guarantees for cloud environments
TL;DR: An analysis of inter-virtual machine bandwidth performance is discussed along with a survey of throughput efficiency and improvements within the hypervisor, and a novel algorithm is proposed for dynamically shaping cloud bandwidth into percentage groups containing individual transport-level connections.

Performance and energy efficiency of virtual machine based clouds
TL;DR: This thesis presents a study on the performance of modern virtualization solutions under DoS attacks, and proposes solutions to resolve performance issues associated with virtualized environments both at the hypervisor level and, inside a VM, at the operating system level.

Efficient Data Caching and Computation Offloading Strategy for Edge Network
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors jointly considered data caching and computation offloading to support better QoE for end device users, and the simulation results proved outstanding performance of the DCCO-E against other schemes in terms of low energy consumption and reduced latency.

A real-time and ACO-based offloading algorithm in edge computing
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a real-time, two-stage ant colony algorithm (RTACO) with the following goals: 1) the algorithm requires low latency; 2): the algorithm minimizes the makespan of all tasks; 3: the algorithm optimizes the system load and reduces the burden of the task offloading algorithm, thereby providing a stable and high performance edge computing system.

Benchmarking cloud serving systems with YCSB
TL;DR: This work presents the "Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark" (YCSB) framework, with the goal of facilitating performance comparisons of the new generation of cloud data serving systems, and defines a core set of benchmarks and reports results for four widely used systems.

Hey, you, get off of my cloud: exploring information leakage in third-party compute clouds
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to map the internal cloud infrastructure, identify where a particular target VM is likely to reside, and then instantiate new VMs until one is placed co-resident with the target, and how such placement can then be used to mount cross-VM side-channel attacks to extract information from a target VM on the same machine.

Modeling TCP throughput: a simple model and its empirical validation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a simple analytic characterization of the steady state throughput, as a function of loss rate and round trip time for a bulk transfer TCP flow, i.e., a flow with an unlimited amount of data to send.

Brewer's conjecture and the feasibility of consistent, available, partition-tolerant web services
Seth Gilbert,Nancy Lynch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that it is impossible to achieve consistency, availability, and partition tolerance in the asynchronous network model, and then solutions to this dilemma in the partially synchronous model are discussed.
