Stochastic Modeling and Optimization of Stragglers

Abstract: MapReduce framework is widely used to parallelize batch jobs since it exploits a high degree of multi-tasking to process them. However, it has been observed that when the number of servers increases, the map phase can take much longer than expected. This paper analytically shows that the stochastic behavior of the servers has a negative […]

Modeling and Optimization of Straggling Mappers

ABSTRACT MapReduce framework is widely used to parallelize batch jobs since it exploits a high degree of multi-tasking to process them. However, it has been observed that when the number of mappers increases, the map phase can take much longer than expected. This paper analytically shows that stochastic behavior of mapper nodes has a negative […]

Optical CDMA Network Simulator (OCNS)

Optical CDMA Wireless Multi-User Network System includes some transmitters and receivers. In this network, an Optical Orthogonal Code (OOC) is assigned to each user (Tx or Rx) to connect to its equivalent-OOC user and after synchronization between this two equivalent-OOC user, they can send and receive data to/from each other. In this project, I worked […]
