  • Dataset 1: Replica Transfer Optimization Dataset. This dataset includes time series data about multiple performance metrics about data transfers that occur in a many-to-many communication scenario where multiple client virtual machines randomly request data from multiple replica servers. The dataset is available at https://github.com/esmayildirim/replica_transfer_optimizaton.git

 

  • Dataset 2: Job Characteristic and Resource Utilization Dataset from HPC clusters in the cloud. This dataset includes time series resource utilization data of jobs run on HPC clusters created in the cloud. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15545096
