VeranstaltungsortE.2.69Veranstalter Fakultät für Technische WissenschaftenBeschreibungA heterogeneous system can be defined as a range of different system resources, which can be local or geographically distributed, that are utilized to execute computationally intensive applications. The efficiency of executing parallel applications on heterogeneous systems critically depends on the methods used to define an assignment and mapping of the workflow tasks onto resources.Scheduling in this context is mainly divided into two main approaches: single and multiple QoS parameters. On the single QoS parameter, the execution time of a workflow application, also called makespan, has been the major concern in most of the scheduling strategies. In this talk, it will be presented a novel algorithm for time optimization that implements a look-ahead feature while keeping a quadratic time complexity.The problem becomes more challenging when two or more QoS parameters are considered in the scheduling problem. Time, cost, energy and reliability are common QoS parameters considered in recent research work in this area. Many algorithms consider time and cost in their formulation but most of them perform: (a) optimization of one parameter constrained to the other; (b) optimization of both parameters in a bi-objective formulation; and (c) a consideration of an unlimited number of resources, in particular for cloud platforms, where the strategy to accomplish time constraints is by allocating new computational instances.In this talk two low-time complexity algorithms for QoS based scheduling, bounded to a set of resources, will be addressed. Namely, a time optimization and budget constrained scheduling and a budget-deadline constrained scheduling algorithm.Research topics on resource management of heterogeneous systems will be discussed, namely, energy-aware scheduling, auto-tuning and concurrent scheduling.Vortragende(r)Jorge Barbosa, PhDKontaktKerstin Smounig (kerstin.smounig@aau.at)

VeranstaltungsortHS 1Veranstalter Institut für PhilosophieBeschreibungAnlässlich des Todes des amerikanischen Philosophen Stanley Cavell (1926-2018) werden im diessemestrigen Filmkreis "Visuelle Kultur" sechs der Filme gezeigt, die er zu den Subgenres der Wiederverheiratungskomödie und des Melodrams der unbekannten Frau zusammengefasst hat. Diese Subgenres der Screwball-Komödie und des Melodrams sind aufeinander bezogen; es geht in ihnen nämlich um Erfüllung bzw. Verzicht auf die Ehe aus gegenseitiger Liebe. Das Melodram der unbekannten Frau ist gewissermaßen die Negation der Komödie der Wiederverheiratung. Cavells Texte über diese Filme aus "Pursuits of Happiness" (1981), "Contesting Tears" (1996) und "Cities of Words" (2004) können von Studierenden und Angehörigen der Universität über Moodle bezogen werden. Die Veranstaltung steht allen Interessierten offen.Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Original mit englischen Untertiteln; Regie: Frank Capra; mit Gary Cooper und Jean Arthur.Vortragende(r)Bernhard Ritter (Philosophie)KontaktBernhard Ritter & Jutta Steininger (bernhard.ritter@aau.at; jutta.steininger@aau.at)
