Decomposition Based Algorithm for State Prediction in Large Scale Distributed Systems
Mihai Istin, Andreea Visan, Florin Pop, Valentin Cristea · 2010
Prediction represents an important component of resource management, providing information about the future state, utilization and availability of resources. We propose a new prediction algorithm inspired from the decomposition of a complex wave into simpler waves with fixed frequencies (similar to Fourier decomposition). The partial results obtained from this decomposition stage are combined using approaches inspired from artificial intelligence models. The experimental results for different system parameters, used in Alice experiment, highlight the great improvement, discussed in terms of error reduction, offered by this new prediction algorithm. The tests were made using real-time monitoring data provided by a system monitoring tool, in the case of one-step and multi-step ahead prediction. The prediction's results can be used by the resource management systems in order to improve the scheduling decisions, assuring the load balancing and optimizing the resource utilization.
