PROPHET: goal-oriented provisioning for highly tunable multicore processors in cloud computing

In this article, we propose PROPHET, a goal-oriented provisioning infrastructure based on execution history profile gathered from the cloud of distributed heterogeneous computing environment. It can autonomously tune the efficiency of a data center or satisfy the end-users' need when running network-based applications. With more tunable features provided by future multicore and many-core processors, we envision that PROPHET can be easily integrated into today's network infrastructure to provide value-added service to many of us.
