Re: [Openstack] Computer Science Master's Thesis Topics?

So that's part of scheduling; but likely only a part of it; it depends 
on the matrix of resources you want to schedule on (just compute node 
targets, or compute nodes + network resources or ...)


If u want, looking at how the filter scheduler works in nova is a good 
start.


https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filter_scheduler.py 
(prob. also read the new stuff around placement and claims and ...)


There has been other attempts at using constraint systems for this:

https://github.com/openstack/nova-solver-scheduler

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/210549/ was something I started a while 
ago (read for reference if you want).


IMHO there is a lot of research potential and experiments that can be 
ran, especially if you start to decrease the delay between 'actual 
resource set available' (what is really being used) and 'predicted 
resource set available' (ie what the scheduler knows about) [note there 
there is a eventual consistency problem here].


I'm sure there are bunches of other papers available to, including 
various ones from google borg and ...


So ya, imho a pretty 'fresh' area for things to be messed with...

Do you like scheduling problems (research and practical), because
there are a lot of them? :)



By scheduling problems you mean "decide on which compute node to create
a new instance"
then yes :-) That was the direction my co-workers pointed me to, as well.
Do you have any further information or papers to read?


Thank you in advance and kind regards,

Hi Felix!
I'm a PhD student at CTU FEE. My own topic was simulation of automatic scaling 
using both the event-driven approach and queue network modelling. The second 
part of the thesis was on the prediction of web server workload in time. If you 
wanted, you could continue and simulate some predictive autoscaling algorithms. 
The framework is already there, and I have tons of literature on how to 
continue, but no time, as I'm working in the public cloud industry now.

It would also be interesting to extend the prediction, which relies on daily 
seasonality and do the other approach - short-term anomaly detection.

One could also apply performance engineering models to machine learning, to 
better estimate the length of big data processing jobs.

I also have some free practical systems engineering topics from clouds and big 
data, such as:
Compare Hadoop access methods - jump box vs. Apache Knox
Automatic server configuration integrated with network management
Compare an enterprise disk array with software defined storage
Install and benchmark alternate network layers in OpenStack

That's about all I have ready at the time.
Tomas

Hi Felix, 

To complete the Dims'list, you can give a look to the Discovery initiative: 
https://beyondtheclouds.github.io
We (Inria/Orange Labs) launched this initiative a couple of years now and we 
have several research topics around Fog/Edge infrastructures. 
Moreover, you may find interesting tools we made to help researcher make 
scientific analyses (such as EnOs for instance: 
https://enos.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ )
Feel free to get back to one of us!
