Storage management for large scale systems
… management is crucial to the performance of many large scale computer systems. This thesis studies performance issues in buffer cache management and disk layout management, two important components of storage management. The buffer cache stores popular disk pages in memory to speed up the access …

Process Monitoring of Large Scale Systems
… processes are highly complex and operate with a large number of variables under closed loop control. Plant engineers and operators are unable to effectively detect and diagnose faults for these large scale systems using traditional process monitoring methods. However, by developing measures that …

Approximate dynamic programming for large scale systems
Sequential decision making under uncertainty is at the heart of a wide variety of practical problems. These problems can be cast as dynamic programs and the optimal value function can be computed by solving Bellman's equation. However, this approach is limited in its applicability. As the number of …

Hardware Memory Compression for Large-scale Systems
… focuses on hardware memory compression for large-scale systems. In general, large-scale systems have unique properties: (1) applications are more demanding on address translation, (2) many users execute workloads requesting different amounts of memory concurrently, and (3) these systems have …

Probabilistic Modeling and Verification of Large Scale Systems
Many large scale systems have a stochastic behavior. Such stochastic behavior is the result of the randomness in the systems' operating environments. It can also be the result of the use of randomized protocols that are used to reduce the need for costly synchronization. We abstract a system state …

Decentralized sliding mode control and estimation for large-scale systems
… decentralised robust control and estimation for large scale systems (LSSs) using robust sliding mode control (SMC) and sliding mode observers (SMO) theory based on a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. A complete theory of decentralized first order sliding mode theory is developed. The main …

Multimodel Design of Large Scale Systems With Multiple Decision Makers
The central theme of this thesis is multimodeling. It is concerned with modeling and control strategy interaction in a multimodel context. Realistic situations are studied, which allow the decision makers to use different simplified models of the system. Three different approaches to multimodeling …

On-line distributed hierarchical control and optimisation of large scale systems
… on-line steady state optimisation and control of large scale systems using a micro-computer based system. A two-level hierarchical computer structure consisting of a coordinator at the supremal (upper) level and two local decision units at the infimal (lower) level had been established. Parallel …
