Computer systems increasingly rely on dynamic, phase-based system management
techniques, in which system hardware and software parameters may be altered or tuned at …

The Federated Cloud Computing (FCC) paradigm provides scalability advantages to Cloud
Service Providers (CSP) in preserving their Service Level Agreement (SLA) as opposed to …

Performance of modern day computer systems greatly depends on the wide range of
workloads, which run on the systems. Thus, a representative set of workloads, representing …

Workload characterization involves the understanding of the relationship between workload
configurations and performance characteristics. To better assess the complexity of workload …

To reduce the simulation time to a tractable amount or due to compilation (or other related)
problems, computer architects often simulate only a subset of the benchmarks in a …

Intelligent monitoring of a computer network provides a clear understanding of its behaviour
at various times and in various situations. It also provides relief to support teams that spend …

Analysis of workload execution and identification of software and hardware performance
barriers provide critical engineering benefits; these include guidance on software …

This work explores how improved workload characterization can be used for a better
selection of representative workloads within the computer system and processor design …

The performance evaluation of storage systems is a difficult task due to lack of
representative workloads. Storage benchmark tools test a single aspect such as random …

Software is the fundamental brick of the systems that pervade our society, such as
communications, transportation, business and health caring. In fact, software is a mean for …
