Module 1
[Link] the technologies used for network based system in cloud computing
[Link] the basic Cluster Architecture with a neat diagram
[Link] high-Performance and high-Throughput systems. What are its main differences.
Discuss various applications of HTC and HPC.
[Link] Amdahl’s law and Gustafson’s law with expression. A financial application takes
100 seconds to execute on a single-processor system. 20% of the code is purely serial (e.g.,
initialization and disk I/O) and cannot be parallelized. If you move this application to a 10-
processor cluster, what is the expected speedup and the new execution time?
[Link] the different distributed system model used in cloud computing
[Link] Service Oriented architecture(SOA) and is role in distributed computing
[Link] between Structured and Unstructured overlay networks in P2P systems.
Illustrate their architectural differences with a neat diagram
[Link] the Layered Architecture for Web Services and Grids. Apply this architectural
model to explain the role of 'Web Services and Tools' in achieving interoperability between
heterogeneous grid resources.
Module 2
[Link] the implementation level of virtualization with suitable diagram.
[Link] the Xen architecture with a neat diagram
[Link] the structural differences between Host-based and Para-virtualization models
with neat diagram.
[Link] the architectural differences between the three primary methods of I/O
Virtualization. Using neat diagrams, explain how each method handles an I/O request from a
Guest OS to the physical hardware
[Link] the para virtualization in X86 OS architecture with Neat diagram
[Link] virtualization for data centre automation and its benefits in cloud computing
[Link] the concept of virtual clusters and resource management in data centres.
[Link] how virtualization support at OS level
Module 3
[Link] IaaS, PaaS and SaaS cloud service models at different service levels.
[Link] the architectural design of Compute and storage clouds with a neat diagram.
[Link] between public cloud, private cloud, Hybrid cloud models. Discuss their
advantages and disadvantages.
[Link] the interconnection network design of large scale cloud data centres.
