    A New Fault Tolerant Task Scheduling Algorithm in Cluster Environments

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Tabbaa, Nabil (Author) ; Movaghar Rahimabadi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Emerging technologies enable a set of distributed resources across a network tobe linked together and used in a coordinated fashion to solve a particular parallel applicationat the same time. Such applications are often abstracted as directed acyclicgraphs (DAGs), in which vertices represent application tasks and edges represent datadependencies between tasks.The problem of scheduling in a distributed environment is that ofdeciding where to place tasks, and when to start execution of the tasks. Effective scheduling mechanisms for DAG applicationsare essential to exploit the potential of computational resources. Fault tolerance is an important requirement in distributed computing systems when... 

    Synthesis, Characterization and Emission Properties of Unsupported Heteronuclear Pt/Au and Pt/Tl Complexes

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Maleka Ashtiani, Mona (Author) ; Jamali, Sirous (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The preparation and optical properties of two new unsupported Pt/Au and Pt/Tl heteronuclear complexes have been described.The heterobinuclear complexe [(tBu3P)2Pt-Au(PPh3)], 2, has been synthesized from reaction of the cluster complex {[(PPh3)Au]3(µ-O)}BF4 with 3 equiv [(tBu3P)2Pt] and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in solution and using X-ray crystallography in the solid state. The tetranuclear linear chain cluster [(tBu3P)2PtTl2Pt(tBu3P)2](PF6)2, 3,has been prepared from the reaction of platinum(0) complex [(tBuP)2Pt] with 1 equiv TlPF6 in dry acetone. Complex 3 shows strong red emission with 73% quantum yield. DFT and TD-DFT calculations show that the emission originated... 

    Density Functional Study of Adsorption of Small Molecules on Nano-Clusters

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Nahali, Masoud (Author) ; Gobal, Fereydoon (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This work investigates adsorption and possible dissociation of a number of small molecules on small clusters and carbonic surface. Theoretical study of carbon monoxide adsorption on SixGe4_x(x=0–4) nano-clusters has been carried out using MPW1B95 density functional. The geometry, adsorption energy, charge distribution, and vibrational frequency of CO adsorption on all possible structures were investigated. The maximum vibrational frequency changes occur in the bridge structures while the most stable structures occur when CO adsorbs on one silicon atom in a flat surface. Adsorption energies of CO on one Si atom are by far more negative than the corresponding value for on Ge atom. Theoretical... 

    Investigating Performance Bottlenecks for Efficient Implementation of MapReduce in Hadoop

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Arabzadeh, Morteza (Author) ; Goudarzi, Maziar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Ever-increasing development and growth of information volume is an unprecedented phenomenon. Analyzing and saving such enormous volume of information calls for innovative ideas capable of processing and managing this information. One of the successful projects in this regard done by Apache is known as Hadoop.Hadoop is a popular open-source implementationof MapReduce processing schemefor analysis of large datasets. The heart of Hadoop is MapReduce that is a parallel programming model for data processing on clusters. To handle storage resources across the cluster, Hadoop employs a distributeduser-level filesystem. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is written in Java and is designed for... 

    Control of Formation, Dispersion and Morphology of TiB2 Particles in Al-TiB2 Metal Matrix In-Situ Composite through Optimization of Melt Condition

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khalatbari, Fatemeh (Author) ; Varahram, Naser (Supervisor) ; Davami, Parviz (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    A study has been carried out on the formation of TiB2 particles in an aluminum based in-situ metal matrix composite by mixing master alloys containing Ti and B i.e., Al-10Ti and Al-8B with a Ti:B weight ratio of 5:2. It was shown that the microstructure of the composite was greatly affected by the controlling factors of the in-situ reaction like temperature, reaction time and stirring of the melt. An increasing reaction time leads to the dissolusion of the primary phases (AlB2 and Al3Ti) and the increase in TiB2 volume fraction. Optical microscope and SEM images were used to study these changes and XRD analysis was applied to confirm these observations. The act of melt stirring in short...
