The CloudMeasure is a distributed public repository of performance attributes for the analysis of performance of Cloud Computing Systems (CCS). The purpose of this research project is to provide data and tools to facilitate the design, validation, and comparison of performance models and algorithms for CCS. One important aspect of this project is to define the group of CCS elements and the attributes that will constitute the repository. For instance, one group of elements could be the Job history in CCS and some of their attributes could be the number of success tasks executed or the time taken to process them.
The repository of performance measures provided by the CloudMeasure research project can be used for the performance analysis of CCS. The purpose of this project is to provide information and tools to facilitate the design, validation, and comparison of performance models and algorithms for CCS. One of the main reasons for the creation of the CloudMeasure project is the current lack of information that could help in understanding and defining how to measure availability, reliability and liability of CCS. Actual measurement of concepts such as price, performance, time to completion (availability), likelihood of completion (probability of failure) and penalty (liability) are key to being able to compare services or to establish Service Level Agreements (SLA) for CCS.
