TL;DR: It is found that virtualization can slow down some applications by more than 200%, but usually the performance impact is below 15%, and the overhead itself is predictable if general application characteristics are known.

Abstract: Resource virtualization technologies have recently increased in popularity The emergence of cloud computing, which requires provisioning isolated environments on shared resources, is one reason for this Virtualization adds flexibility in terms of resource provisioning, but it can impact application performance In this work, we analyze the performance of medical image processing and computational fluid dynamics applications when run on virtualized resources We then apply the observed performance characteristics to a performance prediction model We measure the impact of virtualization by performing several benchmarks on virtualized and non-virtualized resources We evaluate the accuracy of the performance prediction model in this environment We find that virtualization can slow down some applications by more than 200%, but usually the performance impact is below 15% The overhead itself is predictable if general application characteristics are known Execution time in a virtual environment can be predicted to within 13% using a simple mathematical prediction model

Automatic tuning of bag-of-tasks applications
Majed Sahli,Essam Mansour,Tariq Alturkestani,Panos Kalnis +3 more
- 13 Apr 2015
TL;DR: This paper presents APlug, a framework for automatic tuning of large scale applications of many independent tasks that suggests the best decomposition of the original computation into smaller tasks and the best number of CPUs to use, in order to meet user-specific constraints.

Network Construction and Graph Theoretical Analysis of Functional Language Networks in Pediatric Epilepsy
Anas Salah Eddin
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: This dissertation introduces a new approach for assessing the effects of pediatric epilepsy on the language connectome using two novel data-driven network construction approaches, and shows that pediatric epilepsy can cause, or is associated with, a network efficiency reduction.

- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: This chapter presents a survey on parallel approaches to run Inductive Logic Programming (ILP), a flavor of multirelational algorithms, and analyzes different scheduling approaches for those implementations and describes two applications where the proposed approaches may be very useful.

Segmentation of brain MR images through a hidden Markov random field model and the expectation-maximization algorithm
TL;DR: The authors propose a novel hidden Markov random field (HMRF) model, which is a stochastic process generated by a MRF whose state sequence cannot be observed directly but which can be indirectly estimated through observations.

TL;DR: Xen, an x86 virtual machine monitor which allows multiple commodity operating systems to share conventional hardware in a safe and resource managed fashion, but without sacrificing either performance or functionality, considerably outperform competing commercial and freely available solutions.
Probabilistic independent component analysis for functional magnetic resonance imaging
TL;DR: An integrated approach to probabilistic independent component analysis for functional MRI (FMRI) data that allows for nonsquare mixing in the presence of Gaussian noise is presented and compared to the spatio-temporal accuracy of results obtained from classical ICA and GLM analyses.
