Modern datacenters are constructed with multirooted tree topologies and support multiple service queues per switch port. They support a wide variety of applications and services with stringent performance needs and conflicting requirements. To meet these requirements, recent works focus on load balancing or ECN marking approaches. Though existing load-balancing approaches...
Recently, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) has been leveraged by most Datacenter Network (DCN) protocols for congestion control to achieve high throughput and low latency. However, the majority of these approaches assume that each switch port has one queue while current industry trends towards having multiple queues per switch port. To...
Clos-based network topologies have been deployed in production data center networks to provide multiple path alternatives between the pairs of network hosts. Production data centers operate under varying traffic dynamics and topological asymmetry. Therefore, a good load balancing scheme must adapt to network conditions and dynamics in real-time and intelligently...
Following trends in higher education that emphasize quantitative analytical approaches to assess educational outcomes, academic libraries are increasingly attempting to quantify their impacts on student learning and demonstrate their value to the university’s educational mission. By applying learning analytics techniques to library use and instructional data, libraries have especially focused...
