VM allocation in cloud datacenters based on the multi-agent system : an investigation into the design and response time analysis of a multi-agent-based virtual machine (VM) allocation/placement policy in cloud datacenters

Al-ou'n, Ashraf M. S. January 2017 (has links)
Recent years have witnessed a surge in demand for infrastructure and services to cover high demands on processing big chunks of data and applications resulting in a mega Cloud Datacenter. A datacenter is of high complexity with increasing difficulties to identify, allocate efficiently and fast an appropriate host for the requested virtual machine (VM). Establishing a good awareness of all datacenter’s resources enables the allocation “placement” policies to make the best decision in reducing the time that is needed to allocate and create the VM(s) at the appropriate host(s). However, current algorithms and policies of placement “allocation” do not focus efficiently on awareness of the resources of the datacenter, and moreover, they are based on conventional static techniques. Which are adversely impacting on the allocation progress of the policies. This thesis proposes a new Agent-based allocation/placement policy that employs some of the Multi-Agent system features to get a good awareness of Cloud Datacenter resources and also provide an efficient allocation decision for the requested VMs. Specifically, (a) The Multi-Agent concept is used as a part of the placement policy (b) A Contract Net Protocol is devised to establish good awareness and (c) A verification process is developed to fully dimensional VM specifications during allocation. These new results show a reduction in response time of VM allocation and the usage improvement of occupied resources. The proposed Agent-based policy was implemented using the CloudSim toolkit and consequently was compared, based on a series of typical numerical experiments, with the toolkit’s default policy. The comparative study was carried out in terms of the time duration of VM allocation and other aspects such as the number of available VM types and the amount of occupied resources. Moreover, a two-stage comparative study was introduced through this thesis. Firstly, the proposed policy is compared with four state of the art algorithms, namely the Random algorithm and three one-dimensional Bin-Packing algorithms. Secondly, the three Bin-Packing algorithms were enhanced to have a two-dimensional verification structure and were compared against the proposed new algorithm of the Agent-based policy. Following a rigorous comparative study, it was shown that, through the typical numerical experiments of all stages, the proposed new Agent-based policy had superior performance in terms of the allocation times. Finally, avenues arising from this thesis are included.

類神經網路與結構性時間數列之比較與研究 / The comparison and reaserch between artifical neural network and structural time series

陳振鈞, Chen, Jenn Jiun Unknown Date (has links)
長久以來,人類在萬物中獨具的高智慧特質吸引了無數的哲學家和科學家 投入對其研究,除了醫學的原因之外,由於人腦所具有卓越的辨識系統及學 習能力,為數不少的科學家們相信人腦存在許多最適化系統與設計,因此如 何模仿人類腦神經的組織與運作,一直是很多人努力及夢寐以求的.因此類 神經網路就是依據這些理念而在各研究領域上廣為發展與應用,其中本文 所探討的倒傳遞神經網路模型更是目前類神經網路模型中最具代表性,應 用最廣的模型.而結構性時間數列模型則是將可被觀察的變數分解成趨勢, 季節性,不規則性等不可被觀察項,故其對經濟意義的解釋是相當明當明顯 的,藉由狀態空間模式的轉換,我們將很容易地利用卡門濾器來作估計與預 測.而本文所欲探的重點在於比較有學習機能的倒傳遞神經網及可利用最 新的資訊更新之結構性時間數列何者之預測能利較佳,藉此瞭解二者之一 些特性.
