A two-phase heuristic algorithm for power-aware offline scheduling in IaaS clouds
Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. 2023. Vol. 178. P. 1–10.
The paper aims at mitigating hot-spots during Offline Scheduling in IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) cloud systems. Unlike previous studies, the research focuses on identifying and resolving hot-spots not at servers, but at server racks. A two-phase algorithm for performing power-aware offline scheduling is proposed. The first phase aims at identifying and mitigating hot-spots at racks, while the second phase performs VM consolidation, i.e. minimization of the number of occupied servers while maintaining a feasible VM mapping and low migration costs. The proposed algorithm takes into account the dynamic nature of VM's resource consumption: it does not only resolve detected hot-spots, but also tries to avoid hot-spots in a reasonable future time period. The algorithm was tested with the data from a real IaaS cloud with different sets of algorithm's parameters. Experimental evaluation showed that the statistical estimates of the future VM's resource consumption provide the most reliable mapping, which is a result of minimization of the number of new hot-spot occurrences.

This study examines how emotional tone shapes user preference in human–large language model (LLM) interaction. Drawing on the Computers as Social Actors framework, we treat conversational AI as a social communicator whose affective cues influence user judgments. Using large-scale pairwise preference data from LMSYS Chatbot Arena, we model emotional tone through the Valence–Arousal–Dominance framework and ...

Generative artificial intelligence has become a routine part of academic writing. While much of the debate has focused on questions of integrity and authorship, less attention has been paid to how AI-assisted writing may affect research evaluation itself. This paper asks a straightforward but important question: does the use of LLMs in academic writing change ...

Improving image quality is becoming an increasingly popular task, especially when working with mobile devices. One common approach to image enhancement is the use of convolutional neural networks. However, to achieve good results, such networks must be large enough, otherwise there is a risk of unwanted artifacts. In addition, large convolutional neural networks require significant ...

Interval Pattern Structures (IPS) provide a natural way to represent local, human-readable explanations for predictions on numerical data through vectors of intervals interpreted as axis-parallel hyper-rectangles. In this paper, we develop and evaluate an IPS-based k-nearest neighbors classifier, IPS-KNN, that explains each prediction through a single local interval description rather than through the aggregation of ...
