Today, several applications and services have been deployedin such datacenters in a variety of environments including e-commerce,medical informatics, genomics, etc. Most of these applications andservices share significant state information that are critical for theefficient functioning of the datacenter. However, existing mechanismsfor sharing the state information are both inefficient in terms ofperformance and scalability, and non-resilient to loaded conditions inthe datacenter. In addition, existing mechanisms do not take completeadvantage of the features of emerging technologies which are gainingmomentum in current datacenters.</p><p>This dissertation presents an efficient soft state sharing substratethat leverages the features of emerging technologies such ashigh-speed networks, Intel's I/OAT and multicore architectures toaddress the limitations mentioned above. Specifically, thedissertation targets three important aspects: (i) designing efficientstate sharing components using the features of emerging technologies,(ii) understanding the interactions between the proposed componentsand (iii) analyzing the impact of the proposed components and theirinteractions with datacenter applications and services in terms ofperformance, scalability and resiliency.</p><p>Our evaluations with the soft state sharing substrate not only show anorder of magnitude performance improvement over traditionalimplementations but also demonstrate the resiliency to loadedconditions in the datacenter. Evaluations with several datacenterapplications also suggest that the substrate is scalable and has alow-overhead. The proposed substrate is portable across multiplemodern interconnects such as InfiniBand, iWARP-capable networks like10-Gigabit Ethernet both in LAN and WAN environments. In addition, ourdesigns provide advanced capabilities such as one-sidedcommunication, asynchronous memory copy operations, etc., even onsystems without high-speed networks and I/OAT. Thus, our proposeddesigns, optimizations and evaluations demonstrate that the substrateis quite promising in tackling the state sharing issues with currentand next-generation datacenters.</p> 2008-08-20 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211893641 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211893641 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
