Decentralised computer systems
… tamer cousin: permissioned blockchains. These systems, while less revolutionary in their premise, nevertheless aim to provide sweeping improvements in the efficiency and transparency of existing enterprise systems. To see whether they work in practice, I present the results of my work in …

Trusting in computer systems
We need to be able to reason about large systems, and not just about their components. For this we would like to have conceptual tools that will help us to understand the behaviour of these systems, and to help us make sense of other, possibly conflicting, views. In this dissertation we have sought …

Monitoring Computer Systems: An Intelligent Approach
<p>Monitoring modern computer systems is increasingly difficult due to their peculiar characteristics. To cope with this situation, the dissertation develops an approach to intelligent monitoring. The resulting model consists of three major designs: representing targets, controlling data …

Classes of defense for computer systems
Computer security incidents often involve attackers acquiring a complex sequence of escalating capabilities and executing those capabilities across a range of different intermediary actors in order to achieve their ultimate malicious goals. However, popular media accounts of these incidents, as …

Intelligent Load Balancing in Cloud Computer Systems
… are typically more cost-effective than single computers of comparable computing performance. The sheer physical size of the system itself means that thousands of machines may be involved. The focus of this research was to design a strategy to dynamically allocate tasks without overloading Cloud …

Configurable computer systems can support dataflow computing
… to prove the practicability of the data-driven computer paradigm using configurable logic. A relative analysis at the end confirms its superiority in performance, resource utilization and ease of programming over conventional CPUs.

Fault injections on mission-critical computer systems
… sets of fault injections on mission-critical computer systems with the goal of (1) understanding the impact of faults, errors and failures, and (2) evaluating fault-tolerance and resilience of the targeted systems in the presence of failures. Our first fault injection campaign studies the …

Safe Exploration for Dynamic Computer Systems Optimization
Modern computer systems need to execute under strict safety constraints (e.g., power limit), but doing so often conflicts with their ability to deliver high performance (i.e., minimal latency). To meet these conflicting goals, prior work uses machine learning to automatically tune hardware …

An Undergraduate Computer Systems Curriculum Using Rust
… the design and evaluation of an undergraduate computer systems curriculum taught in the Rust programming language. Traditionally, such courses have relied on C to introduce students to fundamental concepts including processes, memory management, and concurrency. While C has historical and …

Hybrid Analysis Tools for Computer Systems Education
To learn about computer operating systems, students at Virginia Tech implement a command-line shell in their Computer Systems course. Successfully implementing the shell requires a deep understanding of operating system abstractions and interactions. Students often struggle with the project because …

Supporting the development of electrophysiologically interactive computer systems
… focuses on one particular class of interactive systems, high level models of interaction are formulated and requirements emerge that reflect shared features or common functionality among those systems. The existence of models of interaction and shared functional requirements mean that support …

Fault Tolerant Bus Communication Protocols for Computer Systems
Bus systems form the communication medium for computers, and a great deal of effort has been devoted to detecting errors which occur as information is transferred from one module to another. In this thesis we look at the problem of not only detecting faults which occur, but continuing to function …

Shared Cache Organization for Multiple-Stream Computer Systems
… interference and shared cache hit ratio in such systems are investigated.

Building abstractions for fast, secure, reliable computer systems
Modern computer systems play important roles in our society and everyday lives. Their performance, security and reliability are of critical importance. Real-world computer systems, however, occasionally suffer from performance degradation, security exploits, and poor reliability, because of the …

Behavioural specification and simulation of minimum configuration computer systems.
The ultimate goal of Computer-Aided Design research in the area of digital circuits is the automatic synthesis of a complete solution from a behavioural specification. This thesis describes an attempt to attain this ideal in the more limited realm of designing single-board control systems, …
