Controlling Data Access Load in Distributed Systems
Mehmet Aktas, Emina Soljanin
Distributed systems store data objects redundantly to balance the data access load over multiple nodes. Load balancing performance depends mainly on 1) the level of storage redunda…
Theory vs. Practice in Modeling Edge Storage Systems
Oleg Kolosov, Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Emina Soljanin +1
Edge systems promise to bring data and computing closer to the users of time-critical applications. Specifically, edge storage systems are emerging as a new system paradigm, where…
Service Rate Region: A New Aspect of Coded Distributed System Design
Mehmet Aktas, Gauri Joshi, Swanand Kadhe +2
Erasure coding has been recognized as a powerful method to mitigate delays due to slow or straggling nodes in distributed systems. This work shows that erasure coding of data objec…
Evaluating Load Balancing Performance in Distributed Storage with Redundancy
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Amir Behrouzi-Far, Emina Soljanin +1
To facilitate load balancing, distributed systems store data redundantly. We evaluate the load balancing performance of storage schemes in which each object is stored at differ…
Anonymity Mixes as (Partial) Assembly Queues: Modeling and Analysis
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Emina Soljanin
Anonymity platforms route the traffic over a network of special routers that are known as mixes and implement various traffic disruption techniques to hide the communicating users'…
Optimizing Redundancy Levels in Master-Worker Compute Clusters for Straggler Mitigation
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Emina Soljanin
Runtime variability in computing systems causes some tasks to straggle and take much longer than expected to complete. These straggler tasks are known to significantly slowdown dis…
Straggler Mitigation at Scale
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Emina Soljanin
Runtime performance variability at the servers has been a major issue, hindering the predictable and scalable performance in modern distributed systems. Executing requests or jobs…
Simplex Queues for Hot-Data Download
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Elie Najm, Emina Soljanin
In cloud storage systems, hot data is usually replicated over multiple nodes in order to accommodate simultaneous access by multiple users as well as increase the fault tolerance o…
On the Service Capacity Region of Accessing Erasure Coded Content
Mehmet Aktas, Sarah E. Anderson, Ann Johnston +5
Cloud storage systems generally add redundancy in storing content files such that files are replicated or erasure coded and stored on nodes. In addition to providing re…
Effective Straggler Mitigation: Which Clones Should Attack and When?
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Pei Peng, Emina Soljanin
Redundancy for straggler mitigation, originally in data download and more recently in distributed computing context, has been shown to be effective both in theory and practice. Ana…
Straggler Mitigation by Delayed Relaunch of Tasks
Mehmet Fatih Aktas, Pei Peng, Emina Soljanin
Redundancy for straggler mitigation, originally in data download and more recently in distributed computing context, has been shown to be effective both in theory and practice. Ana…
