However, in different business cloud systems, state-of-the-art scheduling models are not as effective as those in the simulated world due to the sparsity issues associated with sample sizes and features. Herein, we propose a novel containerized task scheduling framework (SA2CTS) based on reinforcement learning (RL) that incorporates cross-modal contrastive learning (CL) loss. This framework optimizes the scheduler's understanding of the container-based cloud state in RL by adding a pretraining stage, promoting accurate scheduling action inference. Specifically, we design a two-stage learning pipeline. The initial stage involves pretraining the model on a large collection of aligned image-text pairs to extract fine-grained scheduling affinity features, and the high-level semantic representations of scheduling tasks are learned in the multimodal space. In the second stage, we fine-tune the pretrained model with multisource cluster feedback, i.e., build a mapping from state representations to scheduling actions through the RL paradigm, achieving task-oriented and semantic-aware scheduling. The experimental results obtained on three large-scale production cluster datasets substantiate that the proposed SA2CTS method can provide average convergence efficiency and resource utilization improvements of 17.57% and 10.42%, respectively, over the state-of-the-art RL scheduling methods.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"148-165"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with data explosion, the multi-node post-deduplication, also called global deduplication, has become a hot issue in research communities, which aims to simultaneously execute delta compression on data distributed across all nodes. Simply setting up single-node deduplication systems on multi-node environments would significantly affect storage utilization and incur secondary overhead from file migration. Nevertheless, existing global deduplication solutions suffer from lower data compression ratios and high computational overhead due to their resemblance detection's inherent limitations and overly coarse granularities. Similar blocks typically have high correlations between sub-blocks; inspired by this observation, we propose IBNR (Intra-Block Neighborhood Relationship-Based Resemblance Detection for High-Performance Multi-Node Post-Deduplication), which introduces a novel resemblance detection based on relationships between sub-blocks and determines the ownership of blocks in entry stage to achieve efficient global deduplication. Furthermore, the by-products of IBNR have shown powerful scalability by replacing internal resemblance detection scheme with existing solutions on practical workloads. Experimental results indicate that IBNR outperforms state-of-the-art solutions, achieving an average 1.99× data reduction ratio and varying degrees of improvement across other key metrics.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"118-129"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because containers are operating-system-level virtualization, their isolation is far less than that of virtual machines, posing considerable challenges for multi-tenant container cloud platforms. To address the issues associated with current container anomaly detection algorithms, such as the difficulty in mining periodic features and the high rate of false positives due to noisy data, we propose an anomaly detection method named SST-LOF, based on singular spectrum transformation and the local outlier factor. Our method enhances the traditional Singular Spectrum Transformation (SST) algorithm to meet the needs of streaming unsupervised detection. Furthermore, our method improves the calculation mode of the anomaly score of the Local Outlier Factor algorithm (LOF) and reduces false positives of noisy data with dynamic sliding windows. Additionally, we have designed and implemented a container cloud anomaly detection system that can perform real-time, unsupervised, streaming anomaly detection on containers quickly and accurately.

As these applications require massive computing resources, graphics processing units (GPUs) are being widely used as high-speed parallel computing devices to meet the stringent demands. Although current GPUs allow application components to be executed concurrently via spatial multitasking, they face several challenges. The first challenge is allocating the computing resources to components dynamically to maximize efficiency. The second challenge is avoiding performance degradation caused by the data transfer overhead between the components. To address these challenges, we propose an efficient GPU resource management technique that dynamically allocates GPU resources to application components. The proposed method allocates resources based on component workloads and uses online performance monitoring to guarantee the application's performance. We also propose a GPU memory manager to reduce the data transfer overhead between components via shared memory. Our evaluation results indicate that the proposed dynamic resource allocation method improves application throughput by up to 134.12% compared to the state-of-the-art spatial multitasking techniques. We also show that using a shared memory results in 6x throughput improvement compared to the baseline User Datagram Protocol (UDP)-based technique.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"99-117"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their application in data center networks is motivated by emerging hardware technologies, such as 3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switches (OCS). The Matching Model (MM) has been introduced to study the hybrid architecture of such networks. It abstracts from the electrical switches and focuses on the added (reconfigurable) optical ones. MM defines any SAN topology as a union of matchings over a set of top-of-rack (ToR) nodes, and assumes that rearranging the edges of a single matching comes at a fixed cost. In this work, we propose and study the Scalable Matching Model (SMM), a generalization of the MM, and present OpticNet, a framework that maps a set of ToRs to a set of OCSs to form a SAN topology. We prove that OpticNet uses the minimum number of switches to realize any bounded-degree topology and allows existing SAN algorithms to run on top of it, while preserving amortized performance guarantees. Our experimental results based on real workloads show that OpticNet is a flexible and efficient framework for the implementation and evaluation of SAN algorithms in reconfigurable data center environments.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"87-98"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, challenges arise in diverse user domains where data is encrypted with different keys, giving rise to the development of delegatable order-revealing encryption (DORE) schemes. Regrettably, existing DORE schemes are susceptible to authorization token forgery attacks and rely on computationally intensive bilinear pairings. This work proposes a novel solution to address these challenges. We first introduce a delegatable equality-revealing encryption scheme, enabling the comparison of ciphertexts encrypted by distinct secret keys through authorization tokens. Building upon this, we present a delegatable order-revealing encryption that leverages bitwise encryption. DORE supports efficient multi-user ciphertext comparison while robustly resisting authorization token forgery attacks. Significantly, our approach distinguishes itself by minimizing bilinear pairings. Experimental results highlight the efficacy of DORE, showcasing a notable speedup of <inline-formula><tex-math>$2.8times$</tex-math></inline-formula> in encryption performance and <inline-formula><tex-math>$1.33times$</tex-math></inline-formula> in comparison performance compared to previous DORE schemes, respectively.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such a process exacerbates the fragmentation of data blocks, causing more cross-server file retrievals with plummeting retrieval throughput. Some attempts prefer better file retrieval performance by confining all blocks of a file to one single server, resulting in non-trivial space consumption for more replicated blocks across servers. An ideal network storage system, in effect, should take both the deduplication and retrieval performance into account by implementing reasonable assignment of the detected unique blocks. Such a fine-grained assignment requires an accurate and comprehensive abstraction of the files, blocks, and the file-block affiliation relationships. To achieve this, we innovatively design the weighted hypergraph to profile the multivariate data correlations. With this delicate abstraction in place, we propose HyperPart, which elegantly transforms this complex block allocation problem into a hypergraph partition problem. For more general scenarios with dynamic file updates, we further propose a two-phase incremental hypergraph repartition scheme, which mitigates the performance degradation with minimal migration volume. We implement a prototype system of HyperPart, and the experiment results validate that it saves around 50% of the storage space and improves the retrieval throughput by approximately 30% of state-of-the-art methods under the balance constraints.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"46-60"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent proposals have integrated optical circuit switching at specific tiers of these networks to reduce power consumption and enhance topological flexibility. Utilizing a multi-tiered cascaded optical circuit switching network is expected to extend the advantages of optical circuit switching further. The main challenges fall into two categories. First, an architecture with sufficient connectivity is required to support varying workloads. Second, the network reconfiguration is more complex and necessitates a low-complexity scheduling algorithm. In this work, we propose COCSN, a multi-tiered cascaded optical circuit switching network architecture for data center. COCSN employs wavelength-selective switches that integrate multiple wavelengths to enhance network connectivity. We formulate a mathematical model covering lightpath establishment, network reconfiguration, and reconfiguration goals, and propose theorems to optimize the model. Based on the theorems, we introduce an over-subscription-supported wavelength-by-wavelength scheduling algorithm, facilitating agile establishment of lightpaths in COCSN tailored to communication demand. This algorithm effectively addresses scheduling complexities and mitigates the issue of lengthy WSS configuration times. Simulation studies investigate the impact of flow length, WSS reconfiguration time, and communication domain on COCSN, verifying its significantly lower complexity and superior performance over classical cascaded networks.","PeriodicalId":13202,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing","volume":"12 4","pages":"1463-1475"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
