Iushchenko R. Technique for estimation of uniform data processing efficiency on cluster computers

The purpose of the thesis is to analyze efficiency of uniform data processing on cluster computers and develop a technique for predicting performance of such processing on a cluster based on it's technical specification. The result of the research is a set of estimates for a different patterns of parallel programming and data storage and delivery strategies based on queueing theory. Such estimates can help in the parallel program development plan-ning and the data distribution optimization. Besides, the formulas can support decisions on planning the hardware upgrades or selecting more efficient cluster architecture under the budget limitations. The technique was successfully used for evaluating performance of various applications and optimization of architecture of several cluster computers.
