Abstract/Description
In recent years, many protocols for efficient Multicasting have been proposed. However, many of the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are reluctant to use multicastenabled routers in their networks. To provide such incentives, new protocols are needed to improve the quality of their services. The challenge is to find a compromise between allocating Bandwidth (BW) among different flows in a fair manner, and favoring multicast sessions over unicast sessions. In addition, the overall higher...
Show moreIn recent years, many protocols for efficient Multicasting have been proposed. However, many of the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are reluctant to use multicastenabled routers in their networks. To provide such incentives, new protocols are needed to improve the quality of their services. The challenge is to find a compromise between allocating Bandwidth (BW) among different flows in a fair manner, and favoring multicast sessions over unicast sessions. In addition, the overall higher level of receiver satisfaction should be achieved. In this dissertation, we propose three new innovative protocols to favor multicast sessions over unicast sessions. Multicast Favored BW Allocation- Logarithmic (MFBA-Log) and Multicast Favored BW Allocation-Linear (MFBALin) protocols allocate BW proportional to the number of down stream receivers. The proposed Multicast Reserved BW Allocation (MRBA) protocol allocates part of the BW in the links only to multicast sessions. Simulation results show the increase in the overall level of Receiver Satisfaction in the network.

Title
An efficient and scalable core allocation strategy for multicore systems.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Multiple threads can run concurrently on multiple cores in a multicore system and improve performance/power ratio. However, effective core allocation in multicore and manycore systems is very challenging. In this thesis, we propose an effective and scalable core allocation strategy for multicore systems to achieve optimal core utilization by reducing both internal and external fragmentations. Our proposed strategy helps evenly spreading the servicing cores on the chip to facilitate better...
Show moreMultiple threads can run concurrently on multiple cores in a multicore system and improve performance/power ratio. However, effective core allocation in multicore and manycore systems is very challenging. In this thesis, we propose an effective and scalable core allocation strategy for multicore systems to achieve optimal core utilization by reducing both internal and external fragmentations. Our proposed strategy helps evenly spreading the servicing cores on the chip to facilitate better heat dissipation. We introduce a multi-stage power management scheme to reduce the total power consumption by managing the power states of the cores. We simulate three multicore systems, with 16, 32, and 64 cores, respectively, using synthetic workload. Experimental results show that our proposed strategy performs better than Square-shaped, Rectangle-shaped, L-Shaped, and Hybrid (contiguous and non-contiguous) schemes in multicore systems in terms of fragmentation and completion time. Among these strategies, our strategy provides a better heat dissipation mechanism.
