The current virtual machine (VM) resources scheduling in cloud computing environment
mainly considers the current state of the system but seldom considers system variation and …

Virtualization poses new challenges to I/O performance. The single-root I/O virtualization
(SR-IOV) standard allows an I/O device to be shared by multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) …

Highly modular data center applications such as Bing, Facebook, and Amazon's retail
platform are known to be susceptible to long tails in response times. Services such as …

Large-scale datacenters have been widely used to host cloud services, which are typically
allocated to different virtual machines (VMs) through resource multiplexing across shared …

Virtual machine (VM) technology enables multiple VMs to share resources on the same host.
Resources allocated to the VMs should be re-configured dynamically in response to the …

We present an approach to real-time person tracking in crowded and/or unknown
environments using integration of multiple visual modalities. We combine stereo, color, and …

Commodity clusters are used routinely for deploying service hosting platforms. Due to
hardware and operation costs, clusters need to be shared among multiple services. Crucial …

Reducing energy consumption has been an essential technique for Cloud resources or
datacenters, not only for operational cost, but also for system reliability. As Cloud computing …

This paper discusses three techniques useful in relaxing the constraints imposed by control
flow on parallelism: control dependence analysis, executing multiple flows of control …

Virtual machines (VMs) and virtualization are one of the core computing technologies today.
Inter-VM communication is not only prevalent but also one of the leading costs for data …
