Assignment - Performance Modelling in Distributed Computing Schemes
The assignment provides an opportunity for you to test your understanding of basic ideas in Distributed Computing against real-world examples by summarising and contrasting the differences in performance models and testing them against applications.
1. Summarise and contrast the differences between the Amdahl and Gustafsson performance models.
(a) Compare the differences, especially in how they capture performance (100 - 150 words);
(b) Compare the weaknesses of both models (100 - 150 words);
(c) Compare the strengths of both models (100 - 150 words);
(d) Compare how the models might be related, if at all (100 - 150 words);
2. Summarise and contrast the differences between the harmonic speedup and MRM performance models.
(a) Compare the differences, especially in how they capture performance (100 - 150 words);
(b) Compare the weaknesses of both models (100 - 150 words);
(c) Compare the strengths of both models (100 - 150 words);
(d) Compare how the models might be related, if at all (100 - 150 words);
3. State which of these four performance models is most suitable for Big Data Storage.
(a) Compare the performance modelling needs for Big Data Storage to the first model (100 - 150 words);
(b) Compare the performance modelling needs for Big Data Storage to the second model (100 - 150 words);
(c) Compare the performance modelling needs for Big Data Storage to the third model (100 - 150 words);
(d) Compare the performance modelling needs for Big Data Storage to the fourth model (100 - 150 words);
(e) Which model is the best fit? (name the model);
4. State which of these four performance models is most suitable for Cloud Computing.
(a) Compare the performance modelling needs for Cloud Computing to the first model (100 - 150 words);
(b) Compare the performance modelling needs for Cloud Computing to the second model (100 - 150 words);
(c) Compare the performance modelling needs for Cloud Computing to the third model (100 - 150 words);
(d) Compare the performance modelling needs for Cloud Computing to the fourth model (100 - 150 words);
(e) Which model is the best fit? (name the model);
Note - Only the answer to the last two questions are needed.
