Optimal Control of a Heterogeneous Two Server System With Consideration for Power and Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)In this thesis we consider a system of two heterogeneous servers with a shared queue, and examine a scheduling policy for the optimal control of such a system. Previous results by Lin and Kumar and Koole found that a ... -
Stability and Performance for Two Classes of Time-Varying Uncertain Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-02)In this thesis, we consider plants with uncertain parameters where those parameters may be time-varying; we show that, with reasonable assumptions, we can design a controller that stabilizes such systems while providing ... -
A Study of Linux Perf and Slab Allocation Sub-Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Today, modern processors are equipped with a special unit named PMU that enables software developers to gain access to micro-architectural level information such as CPU cycles count and executed instructions count. The PMU ... -
Toward High-Performance Blockchains
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)The decentralized nature of blockchains has attracted many applications to build atop them, such as cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens. The health and performance of the underlying blockchain systems ...
