Learning Outcomes

Students have knowledge about benchmarking, especially of cloud services and in the cloud, and are able to apply that knowledge in practice. This includes being able to analyze benchmarking needs for a specific scenario, designing a benchmark and measurement method while considering typical benchmarking requirements, the implementation of a benchmarking tool, the execution of cloud-based experiments, and the analysis of benchmarking results. Students are also able to communicate their results in presentations and in writing.

Content

The course covers foundations as well as the entire lifecycle of cloud service benchmarking (design, implementation, execution, analysis). This will be done both from a conceptual perspective (based on a book) as well as hands-on through individual benchmarking projects. Additional details about the course contents can be found on the book website: https://cloudservicebenchmarking.github.io/

Workload and Credit Points

Cloud Service Benchmarking (IV):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Benchmarking project	1.0	120.0h	120.0h
Reading the book and flipped classroom sessions	1.0	60.0h	60.0h
			180.0h(~6 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The course will be taught as a flipped classroom. Over the course of the semester, students will read the book "Cloud Service Benchmarking: Measuring Quality of Cloud Services from a Client Perspective". The individual parts that have been read in between sessions will be discussed in an in-person or virtual session where students will also have the opportunity to clarify open questions. In parallel to that, students will implement their own benchmarking project, use it in experiments, write a short report on it, and present the results.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

Students are expected to have strong knowledge in distributed systems, to have had prior exposure to cloud computing concepts, to have good programming skills (preferably in Java or Kotlin), to understand REST and other web fundamentals, to know about messaging and other communication middleware. The required knowledge can be acquired in other MCC courses as well as courses offered by, e.g., DOS, ISE, or SNET.

Mandatory requirements for the module test application:

This module has no requirements.

Grading scale

This exam uses its own grading scale (see test description).

Test description (Module completion)

Grading scale: students need 50 points to pass. All other grade steps are in increments of 4.5 points, i.e., students need 90.5 points for a 1.0 and 86 for a 1.3 (see full scale below). [90.5;100] => 1.0 [86;90,5) => 1.3 [81.5;86) => 1.7 [77;81,5) => 2.0 [72.5;77) => 2.3 [68;72,5) => 2.7 [63.5;68) => 3.0 [59;63,5) => 3.3 [54.5;59) => 3.7 [50;54,5) => 4.0 [0;50) => 5.0

Duration of the Module

The following number of semesters is estimated for taking and completing the module:
1 Semester.

This module may be commenced in the following semesters:
Winter- und Sommersemester.

Maximum Number of Participants

The maximum capacity of students is 20.

Registration Procedures

- This course is currently scheduled to be offered every winter term. Please check https://www.tu.berlin/en/mcc/study/current-semester/ before the start of the teaching period to check whether it is offered in that semester. - All organizational details will be announced in the respective ISIS course. The link to the ISIS course will be posted on the MCC website before the start of the teaching period. - This course requires a separate registration and participant selection procedure based on AllgStuPO §48(2) as the course (i) has only a limited number of slots and (ii) requires a certain knowledge state and skill level. Students must fulfill the requirements listed above under "Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses". Usually, this will be checked based on a short ISIS questionnaire in the first week of the teaching period. All details will be announced in the respective ISIS course and in the kick-off session.
