FASTRAL: improving scalability of phylogenomic analysis

Evaluating Paas Scalability and Improving Performance Using Scalability Improvement Systems

Cloud computing has almost changed the way of obtaining resources and managing platform as a service. With these improvements, challenges like scalability testing, performance testing is emerging very fast. This paper focuses on the evaluation of scalability of PaaS as well along with that propose a graphical model where SIS (Scalability Improvement System)is proposed in which cache are impleme...

A phylogenomic analysis of turtles.

Molecular analyses of turtle relationships have overturned prevailing morphological hypotheses and prompted the development of a new taxonomy. Here we provide the first genome-scale analysis of turtle phylogeny. We sequenced 2381 ultraconserved element (UCE) loci representing a total of 1,718,154bp of aligned sequence. Our sampling includes 32 turtle taxa representing all 14 recognized turtle f...

Improving the network scalability of Erlang

As the number of cores grows in commodity architectures so does the likelihood of failures. A distributed actor model potentially facilitates the development of reliable and scalable software on these architectures. Key components include lightweight processes which ‘share nothing’ and hence can fail independently. Erlang is not only increasingly widely used, but the underlying actor model has ...

Improving the Scalability of Performance Evaluation Tools

Performance evaluation tools play an important role in helping understand application performance, diagnose performance problems and guide tuning decisions on modern HPC systems. Tools to observe parallel performance must evolve to keep pace with the ever-increasing complexity of these systems. In this paper, we describe our experience in building novel tools and techniques in the TAU Performan...
