Rebound effects have been discussed in various disciplines. In the information and communication technology sector, this topic is still insufficiently studied. Basically, a rebound effect is a feedback mechanism, as a result of which savings from efficiency improvements are not or only partially realized. Due to the potential of cloud computing for efficiency improvements, not only in terms of ...

The use of Cloud Computing has increasedrapidly in many organization .Cloud Computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. In addition Cloud Computing was predicted to transform the computing world from using local applications and storage into centralized services provided by organization.[10] Ensuring the security of Cloud Computing is major factor in the Clo...

Energy efficiency (EE), energy consumption cost and environmental impact are vibrant challenges to cloud computing and data centers. Reducing energy consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in data centers represent open areas and driving force for future research work on green data centers. Our Literature review reveals that there are currently several energy efficiency frameworks for...

When comparing Cloud and non-Cloud Storage it can be difficult to ensure that the comparison is fair. In this paper we examine the process of setting up such a comparison and the metric used. Performance comparisons on Cloud and non-Cloud systems, deployed for biomedical scientists, have been conducted to identify improvements of efficiency and performance. Prior to the experiments, network lat...

Cloud computing has been an emerging model which aims at allowing customers to utilize computing resources hosted by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). More and more consumers rely on CSPs to supply computing and storage service on the one hand, and CSPs try to attract consumers on favorable terms on the other. In such competitive cloud computing markets, pricing policies are critical to market ef...

In today’s computing technology scene, mobile devices are considered to be computationally weak, while large cloud servers are capable of handling expensive workloads, therefore, intensive computing tasks are typically offloaded to the cloud. Recent advances in learning techniques have enabled Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to be deployed in a wide range of applications. Commercial speech based in...

Cloud computing technology is gaining great popularity as a technological enabler for different types of organisations. It offers a great deal of benefits with respect to its pay-as-you-go elasticity and capability to scale. Due to the increasing demand for cloud-based solutions, many challenges have appeared and some of them are constraints to what the technology can potentially offer. Energy ...

With the continuous development of cloud computing applications, the problems of cloud computing are more and more obvious, such as the lower efficiency of resource search, the lack of network scalability, and some difficulties in management. In this paper, the problems of P2P network and the structural characteristics of the IS-P2P network are studied. On the basis of traditional Chord algorit...

Chandigarh Engineering College, Landran(Pb), India [email protected] AbstractCloud computing is the evolutionary step to transform a large part of the Information and Communication Technology industry. It is the result of the efforts to provide the opportunity to focus on hardware and software cost and the impending reduction of preservation. Cloud computing constitutes both business and an eco...

Programming models for cloud computing has become a research focus recently. Current programming models for cloud computing mainly focus on improving the efficiency of the cloud platforms but little has been done on the performance predictability of models. In this paper, we introduce a programming model—BSPCloud. BSPCloud is a hybrid of distributed-memory and shared-memory parallel programming...
