Modeling Performance of Hadoop Applications: A Journey from Queueing Networks to Stochastic Well Formed Nets
[chapter]
2016
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In these scenarios, a central place is held by the MapReduce framework and in particular its open source implementation, Apache Hadoop. ...
We propose models of increasing complexity and accuracy, ranging from queueing networks to stochastic well formed nets, able to estimate job performance under a number of scenarios of interest, including ...
Several works describe the adoption of Petri nets (PNs) for MapReduce modeling. For instance, Castiglione et al. ...
