Abstract

In this project, we use machine learning techniques to predict the optimal timing for running a live migration request. This optimal timing approach is based on using machine learning for live migration cost prediction and datacenter network utilization prediction

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Telemedicine interventions were shown to reduce the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospital admissions and all-cause mortality. This project will train an AI-System that could help to scale such telemedical interventions by preprocessing and prioritizing.

Abstract

DevOps, microservices, and multi-core systems are gaining considerable attraction in research and practice. We would use the requested HPI Future SOC Lab resources to investigate the experimental evaluation of our activities on DevOps-oriented "Load Testing for Microservices" and "Software Performance Engineering for Multi-Core Systems".

Abstract

Our project contributes to the field of behaviour-based authentication. In the last years we collected a great amount of walking sequences of several people. As this dataset is too large to be processed on a normal machine, we hope to evaluate and improve our authentication model by the support of additional resources.

Abstract

Medical documentation is a huge burden across all healthcare professions. In many cases speech recognition could provide great benefits but even modern speech processing models struggle with medical terms. By creating a medical data set and training a German model with the new wav2letter++ speech processing toolkit, we aim to improve that.

Abstract

We have developed an agent-based game-theoretic model which promises a good explanation of the structure of real world networks. Previous large-scale experiments revealed that our model fails to produce networks with non-constant diameter. This project aims at simulating variations of the model that allow a more flexible diameter

Abstract

In this project, we study mechanisms for integrating hardware accelerators in virtual machines and cloud infrastructures. Exemplary workloads include In-Memory Databases, scientific computation and multimedia applications. This project is a continuation of preceding projects conducted in the Spring and Fall Periods of 2018.

Abstract

We are planning to evaluate our Albatross runtime system (DOI: 10.1145/3217189.3217193) for energy-efficient and economic processing on heterogeneous compute infrastructures in the HPI Future SOC Lab in cooperation with the OSM Group (HPI).

Abstract

Folding@home is a project focused on disease research. Solving those problems require many computer calcul­ations. Folding@home COVID-19 projects started with a high GPU demand and now extended to CPU resources also. The HPI Future SOC Lab tries to provide as much available resources as possible to support the fight against COVID-19 and health.

Abstract

We want to evaluate how page replication as another management mechanism is worth the effort. The experiments are based on a patched linux kernel running on multi-socket NUMA systems. The outcome should be to identify possible workloads and data structures that likely benefit from the replication of pages.

Abstract

The decision for the best JavaScript library to use in web applications is difficult, due to the vast number and the short lifespan of a lot of them. This project strives to apply the decisions made in the past to the future, by analysing a dataset of web crawls, provided by Common Crawl, what may causes libraries to crumble and others to rise.

Abstract

The Wildenstein Plattner Institute is undertaking a massive digitization project, with the goal to make millions of previously unpublished cultural heritage information available to the broader public. Because of the mass of information, it can only be processed using ML techniques like advanced OCR and image processing algorithms

Abstract

The WEEVIL5 project is designed as the extension of the previous one (WEEVILF), which was developed using the RX600S5-1 server from the HPI Future SOC Lab. This document details the main aims, scope and schedule development for the WEEVIL5 project. This project is a continuation of previous one.

Abstract

Recent researches show the possibility of decoding spectral signals obtained through Raman spectroscopy via deep learning techniques. Nowadays, during the COVID emergency, the application of the same techniques could allow for a fast and non-invasive diagnosis of SARS-COV-2 infection based on Raman spectra from human salivary samples.

Abstract

Since 2017, the teams around Prof. Tobias Friedrich (HPI, Chair for Algorithm Engineering) and Dr Markus Wagner (University of Adelaide, Australia) have explored the concept of automated algorithm configuration to design new search operators. This project builds upon the existing work and will push it toward real-world, interconnected problems.
