Energy-Aware Scheduling and Resource Allocation
for Large-Scale Distributed Systems |
|
Global warming and climate change trends call for urgent action to
manage information and communication technologies in a sustainable manner
by minimizing energy consumption and utilizing resources more efficiently.
Distributed computing environments have become the de facto platforms
for many applications. These systems bring a range of heterogeneous
resources that should be able to function continuously and autonomously.
However, distributed systems expend a lot of energy which raises a range
of important research issues related to the use and virtualisation of
ICT resources in a way offers significant potential to contribute to
the goal of what has been described as ‘green computing’.
This talk will review some of the important questions related to the
development of new algorithms and tools for energy–aware resource
management allocation for large–scale distributed systems enabling
these systems to become environmentally friendly.

About Dr. Albert Y. Zomaya |
|
Albert Y. Zomaya is currently the Chair Professor of High Performance
Computing and Networking in the School of Information Technologies, The
University of Sydney. Prior to joining Sydney University he was a Full
Professor in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at the
University of Western Australia, where he also led the Parallel Computing
Research Laboratory during the period 1990–2002. He is the author/co-author
of seven books, more than 350 publications in technical journals and conferences,
and the editor of eight books and eight conference volumes. He is currently
an associate editor for 16 journals, the Founding Editor of the Wiley
Book Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing and a Founding Co-Editor
of the Wiley Book Series on Bioinformatics. Professor Zomaya was the Chair
the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (1999–2003)
and currently serves on its executive committee. He also serves on the
Advisory Board of the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing and
IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society Technical Committee on Self-Organization
and Cybernetics for Informatics and is a Scientific Council Member of
the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social–Informatics, and Telecommunications
Engineering (in Brussels). He received the 1997 Edgeworth David Medal
from the Royal Society of New South Wales for outstanding contributions
to Australian Science. Professor Zomaya is also the recipient of the Meritorious
Service Award (in 2000) and the Golden Core Recognition (in 2006), both
from the IEEE Computer Society. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), a Fellow
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the IEEE,
the Institution of Electrical Engineers (U.K.), and a Distinguished Engineer
of the ACM. His research interests are in the areas of high performance
computing, parallel algorithms, mobile computing, and bioinformatics.

Virtual Clusters for Grid, Cloud, and High-performance
Computing |
|
In this talk, the impact of cloud computing and emerging
Internet applications will be accessed. A virtual-machine approach to
cluster partitioning and mechanisms for replicated data protection will
be presented. These techniques enable dynamic cloud resource provisioning
and secure data management in web-scale distributed computing and business
applications. The talk covers the impact of virtualization on grid,
cloud, and high-performance computing platforms. He will discuss research
frontiers in building virtualized grid/cloud infrastructures and assessing
some grid/cloud projects at USA, France, Japan, and China, that explore
distributed server clusters and globally deployed datacenters.. |
