Most existing Peer to Peer (P2P) systems support name-based retrieval and have provided very limited support for the full-text search of document contents. In this paper, we present a scheme (TRES-CORE) to support content-based retrieval. First, we propose a tree structure to organize data objects in vector-format in the P2P system, which is height-balanced so that the time complexity of search can be decreased. Second, we give a simple strategy for the placement of tree's nodes, which can guarantee both load balancing and fault tolerance. Then an efficient policy for the query is given. Besides theoretical analysis that can prove the correctness of our scheme, a simulation-based study is carried out to evaluate its performance under various scenarios finally. In this study, it shows that using this content-based retrieval scheme (TRES-CORE) is more accurate and more efficient than some other schemes in the P2P system.

Traditionally, complex engineering applications (CEAs), which consist of numerous components (software) and require a large amount of computing resources, usu- ally run in dedicated clusters or high performance computing (HPC) centers. Nowadays, Cloud computing system with the ability of providing massive computing resources and cus- tomizable execution environment is becoming an attractive option for CEAs. As a new type on Cloud applications, CEA also brings the challenges of dealing with Cloud resources. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of Cloud resource management research for CEAs. The survey puts forward two important questions: 1) what are the main chal- lenges for CEAs to run in Clouds? and 2) what are the prior research topics addressing these challenges? We summarize and highlight the main challenges and prior research topics. Our work can be probably helpful to those scientists and en- gineers who are interested in running CEAs in Cloud envi- ronment.

Virtual machine (VM) technologies are becoming more and more important among industrial and academic institutions with the decreasing cost of computer hardware. It can offer a lot of benefits including performance isolation, server consolidation, and live migration. However, the development of virtualization technology is preferred to application isolation as yet, thus the performance overheads of communicate between virtual machines which are resident on the same physical machine are relatively high. In network-intensive applications, such as Internet servers, are consolidated in a physical machine using VM technology, the inter-domain shared memory communication mechanisms is necessary. In other words, nearly all the virtual machine monitors are not very efficient in I/O performance to meet these applications' requirements. As a result, some scholars resort to inter-domain shared memory mechanisms to improve data transferring performance, but some of these solutions only provide one-way tunnel for domains to communicate with each other, and others are not network-bypass, which use the existing AF-INET protocol family, and incur unnecessary overhead brought by TCP/IP stack. In this paper, we present an inter-domain data transferring system, called IDTS, with dual-way tunnels and fully network-bypass features in Xen virtual machine environment. The design of IDTS is different from virtual network scheme in that IDTS uses static circular memory buffer shared between domains instead of the Xen page-flipping mechanism. In order to enable dual-way communication, IDTS provides two shared memory tunnels for co-resident domains to communicate with each other. Our evaluation demonstrates that IDTS can reduce inter-domain round trip latency by nearly a factor of 4, and increase bandwidth by approximately 5 times, and also keep high scalability, compared with traditional TCP/IP approach.

In this paper, we propose an approach for the real-time performance analysis of distributed software with reliability constraints, called Athena. The approach is based on the principle of distributed program real-time performance analysis. In Athena, we design some algorithms, count the transmission time for all the transmission paths of each data file, and then calculate response time of each data file with reliability constraint. So the real-time performance of distributed software with reliability-constrained can be evaluated.
