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…

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…

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…
