{"title":"Evaluation of Combining Bootstrap with Multiple Imputation Using R on Knights Landing Platform","authors":"Chuan Zhou, Yuxiang Gao, Waylon Howard","doi":"10.1109/CSCLOUD.2017.55","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CSCLOUD.2017.55","url":null,"abstract":"Cloud computing and big data technologies are converging to offer a cost-effective delivery model for cloud-based big data analytics. Though impacts of size and scaling of big data on cloud have been extensively studied, the effects of complexity of underlying analytic methods on cloud performance have received less attention. This paper will develop and evaluate a computationally intensive statistical methodology to perform inference in the presence of both non-Gaussian data and missing data. Two well-established statistical approaches, bootstrap and multiple imputations (MI), will be combined to form the methodology. Bootstrap is a computer-based nonparametric resampling procedure that involves randomly selecting data many thousands of times to construct an empirical distribution, which is then used to construct confidence intervals for significance tests. This statistical technique enables scientists who conduct studies on data with known non-normality to obtain higher quality significance tests than is possible with a traditional asymptotic, normal-theory based significance test. However, the bootstrapping procedure only works when no data are missing or the data are missing completely at random (MCAR). Missing data can lead to biased estimates when the MCAR assumption is violated. It is unclear how to best implement a bootstrapping procedure in the presence of missing data. The proposed methods will provide guidelines and procedures that will enable researchers to use the technique in all areas of health, behavior and developmental science in which a study has missing data and cannot rely on parametric inference. Either bootstrapping or MI can be computationally expensive, and combining these two can lead to further computation costs in the cloud. Using carefully constructed simulation examples, we demonstrate that it is feasible to implement the proposed methodology in a high performance Knights Landing platform. However, the computation costs are substantial even with small data size. Further studies are needed to study the effects of optimizing the implementation and its performance with big data.","PeriodicalId":436299,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing (CSCloud)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126104874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More and more service providers are adopting Software-Defined Storage (SDS) instead of traditional fiber channel based storage appliances due to the lead time, expense, and flexibility. However, data centers are held back by storage I/O that cannot keep up with ever-increasing demand, preventing systems from reaching their full performance potential. Intel Cache Acceleration Software (Intel CAS), combined with highperformance Solid State Drives (SSDs), increases data center performance via intelligent caching rather than extreme spending. This case study shows the decoupling of compute and storage in the Apache Hadoop cluster so the compute and storage can be expanded independently. While decoupling Hadoop HDFS storage from local hard drives to external Ceph storage, the study demonstrates how the Intel Cache Acceleration Software helps the increase of the performance under the decoupled architecture by several benchmarking tasks.","PeriodicalId":436299,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing (CSCloud)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125194536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is greatly complicated in the big data era where the I/O bottlenecks significantly slowed down the time needed to finding the best model. In this article, we examine the case of Box-Cox transformation when assumptions of a regression model are violated. Specifically, we construct and compute a set of summary statistics and transformed the maximum likelihood computation into a per-role operational fashion. The innovative algorithms reduced the big data machine learning problem into a stream based small data learning problem. Once the Box-Cox information array is obtained, the optimal power transformation as well as the corresponding estimates of model parameters can be quickly computed. To evaluate the performance, we implemented the proposed Box-Cox algorithms on QCT developer cloud. Our results showed that by leveraging both the algorithms and the QCT cloud technology, find the fittest model from 101 potential parameters is much faster than the conventional approach.","PeriodicalId":436299,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing (CSCloud)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123668951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Container-based application virtualization is an appropriate solution to develop a light weighted partitioning by providing application isolation with less overhead. Undoubtedly, container based virtualization delivers a lightweight and efficient environment, however raises some security concerns as it allows isolated processes to utilize an underlying host kernel. A new security layer with the Most Privileged Container (MPC) is proposed in this article. The proposed MPC layer exhibits three main functional blocks: Access policies, Black list database, and Runtime monitoring. The introduced MPC layer implements privilege based access control and assigns resource access permissions based on policies and the security profiles of containerized application user processes. Furthermore, the monitoring block examines the runtime behavior of containers and black list database is updated if the container violets its policies. The proposed MPC layer provides higher level of application container security against potential threats.","PeriodicalId":436299,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing (CSCloud)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129033612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HDFS replica placement policy cannot generate balanced replica assignment, and hence has to rely on a load balance utility to balance the load among cluster nodes. In contrast, our proposed policy can generate perfectly even replica assignment, and also achieve load balance among cluster nodes in any heterogeneous or homogeneous environments without the running of the load balance utility.","PeriodicalId":436299,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing (CSCloud)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126051119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
