dc.description.abstractPublic and private cloud computing environments typically employ virtualization methods to consolidate application workloads on a single server for gaining cost and energy benefits. Contention among applications for shared server and virtualization resources can have a significant impact on application performance. Such contention can lead to resource bottlenecks that can especially be problematic for interactive applications such as Web servers that need to support fast response times for user requests. Previous work suggests monitoring hardware platform specific performance metrics for detecting such contention. This research shows that such metrics are not always sufficient for detecting contention, especially for highly concurrent interactive applications such as Web servers. A novel software probe based approach is presented for addressing this limitation. We show that the probe imposes a low overhead and is remarkably effective at detecting common performance degradations that can occur in environments featuring both interactive and batch style workloads.en_US

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
