Introduction

You may choose a project topic of your choice. The goal is to perform original research addressing any topic in distributed systems or cloud computing.

Ideas

  • Perform a performance comparison across different cloud providers, such as predictability, peak performance, average performance
  • Implement a mechanism for stronger performance isolation on top of an existing cloud provider
  • Build a mechanism to seamlessly transfer applications between local infrastructure and cloud infrastructure.
  • Compare the performance of Hadoop Map/Reduce against MapR's implementation.
  • Amazon has a new high-speed storage system built on flash instead of disks. DynamoDB provides a NoSQL store. Can it be used to implement a filesystem that is faster than using local disk or EBS?
  • Different instances in a cloud provider may yield different levels of application performance. Can you come up with a scheduling service that chooses where to run your code for maximum performance/minimum latency?

Details

You must submit a one-page project proposal, due April 17th, followed by a final report/poster on the project due date.
