With the transition to a smart grid, we are witnessing a significant growth in sensor deployments and smart metering infrastructure in the distribution system. However, information from these sensors and meters are typically unevenly…
The increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices generates a greater demand for data transfers and puts increased pressure on networks. Additionally, connectivity to cloud services can be costly and inefficient. Fog computing provides…
We consider a system consisting of a server alternating between two service points. At both service points there is an infinite queue of customers that have to undergo a preparation phase before being served. We are interested in the…
Distribution system residential load modeling and analysis for different geographic areas within a utility or an independent system operator territory are critical for enabling small-scale, aggregated distributed energy resources to…
A recent advance in networking is the deployment of path-aware multipath network architectures, where network endpoints are given multiple network paths to send their data on. In this work, we tackle the challenge of selecting paths for…
Network bound applications, like a database server executing OLTP queries or a caching server storing objects for a dynamic web applications, are essential services that consumers and businesses use daily. These services run on a large…
Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) measures the distance between observatories on Earth and retro-reflectors on Moon since 1970. In this paper, we study the effect of non-tidal station loading (NTSL) in the analysis of LLR data. We add the non-tidal…
Scheduling is an important task allowing parallel systems to perform efficiently and reliably. For modern computation systems, divisible load is a special type of data which can be divided into arbitrary sizes and independently processed in…
We consider a computation offloading system where jobs are processed sequentially at a local server followed by a higher-capacity cloud server. The system offers two service modes, differing in how the processing is split between the…
Energy consumption represents a significant cost in data center operation. A large fraction of the energy, however, is used to power idle servers when the workload is low. Dynamic provisioning techniques aim at saving this portion of the…
The mean occupancy rates of personal vehicle trips in the United States is only 1.6 persons per vehicle mile. Urban traffic gridlock is a familiar scene. Ridesharing has the potential to solve many environmental, congestion, and energy…
Load balancing is vital for the efficient and long-term operation of cloud data centers. With virtualization, post (reactive) migration of virtual machines after allocation is the traditional way for load balancing and consolidation.…
The paper presents techniques for analyzing the expected download time in distributed storage systems that employ systematic availability codes. These codes provide access to hot data through the systematic server containing the object and…
Multihomed services can load-balance their incoming connection requests using DNS, resolving the name of the server with different addresses depending on the link load that corresponds to each address. Previous work has studied a number of…
Quality of Service provisioning is one of the major design goals of IEEE 802.16 mesh networks. In order to provide quality delivery of delay sensitive services such as voice, video etc., it is required to route such traffic over a minimum…
Edge computing has been an efficient way to provide prompt and near-data computing services for resource-and-delay sensitive IoT applications via computation offloading. Effective computation offloading strategies need to comprehensively…
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program is a U.S. Department of Energy project that collects meteorological observations at several locations around the world in order to study how weather processes affect global climate change. As…
Ride-sourcing services are now reshaping the way people travel by effectively connecting drivers and passengers through mobile internets. Online matching between idle drivers and waiting passengers is one of the most key components in a…
While soil moisture information is essential for a wide range of hydrologic and climate applications, spatially-continuous soil moisture data is only available from satellite observations or model simulations. Here we present a global,…
Large Language Model (LLM) workloads have distinct prefill and decode phases with different compute and memory requirements which should ideally be accounted for when scheduling input queries across different LLM instances in a cluster.…
