Software
- DEDISBENCH DEDISbench is an open source micro I/O benchmark suitable for evaluating deduplication systems by generating blocks with a realistic content distribution. The benchmark also allows running tests with different load intensities and introduces a novel hotspot access pattern for I/O requests.
- DEDIS DEDIS is a novel open source distributed post-processing deduplication system. Its main contribution is a novel optimistic asynchronous mechanism for eliminating duplicated data among virtual machines deployed on several remote hosts. This mechanism along with other optimizations allows achieving nearly native disk I/O throughput for virtual machines even when deduplication is being performed in the background. Additionally, DEDIS is fully distributed, allowing the system to scale, and is resilient to server crashes. DEDIS is implemented within XEN, more specifically, is a reimplementation of the Tap:aio Blktap Driver asynchronous I/O block device.
- MET MeT is a Cloud-enabled framework that can be used alone or in conjunction with OpenStack for the automatic and heterogeneous reconfiguration of HBase. MeT is an workload aware system that provides automatic elasticity for the HBase NoSQL database. MeT not only adds and removes nodes automatically and according to system load, but also reconfigures them according to the observed workloads. As a result, it achieves a significant increase in overall system performance.
