Join-Idle-Queue: A Novel Load Balancing Algorithm for Dynamically Scalable Web Services

James Richard Larus, Yi Lu

The prevalence of dynamic-content web services, exemplified by search and online social networking, has motivated an increasingly wide web-facing front end. Horizontal scaling in the Cloud is favored for its elasticity, and distributed design of load balan ...

Offline file assignments for online load balancing

Monika Henzinger, Ingmar Weber

We study a novel load balancing problem that arises in web search engines. The problem is a combination of an offline assignment problem, where files need to be (copied and) assigned to machines, and an online load balancing problem, where requests ask for ...

Decoupling contention management from scheduling

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Radu Ioan Stoica

Many parallel applications exhibit unpredictable communication between threads, leading to contention for shared objects. The choice of contention management strategy impacts strongly the performance and scalability of these applications: spinning provides ...

Cold storage with ice slurries

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz

The storage of 'cold' with ice slurries-a special type of thermally multi-functional fluids or phase change slurries (PCS)-is discussed. At first an example of a calculation of a thermal energy storage tank in an ice slurry system with a peak load demand i ...

Designing Man-Portable Power Generation Systems for Varying Power Demand

Benoît Chachuat

Portable electronic devices operate at varying power demand levels. This variability of power demand must be considered explicitly in the design of man-portable power generation systems for acceptable performance and portability. In this regard, a mathemat ...

Stochastic Simulation of Occupant Presence and Behaviour in Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

While most current building simulation tools consider occupants as predictable robots the true nature of human behaviour is more complex. This article describes a set of stochastic models aimed at capturing this complexity by decoupling occupant presence f ...
