Abstract

In this paper we present Cataclysm, a comprehensive approach for handling extreme overloads in hosted Internet applications. The primary contribution of our work is to develop an overload control approach that brings together admission control, dynamic provisioning of platform resources, and adaptive degradation of QoS into one integrated system. We implement a prototype Cataclysm hosting platform on a Linux cluster and demonstrate the benefits of our integrated approach using a variety of workloads.

Analytic modeling of multitier Internet applications

Since many Internet applications employ a multitier architecture, in this article, we focus on the problem of analytically modeling the behavior of such applications. We present a model based on a network of queues where the queues represent different ...
