PEEL enables the transparent specification of benchmarking workloads and system configuration parameters.
DATA ANALYTICS BENCHMARKING PORTABLE
To address these problems and to foster reproducible and portable experiments and benchmarks of distributed data processing systems, we present PEEL, a framework to define, execute, analyze, and share experiments. This impedes portability and reproducibility of benchmarks. Worse, many systems come with hardware-dependent parameters that have to be tuned and spawn a diverse set of configuration files. However, even if workloads and data sets or data generators are fixed, orchestrating and executing benchmarks can be a major obstacle. It is thus imperative to enable and establish benchmarks for these systems. While there are published results of experimental evaluations for nearly all systems, it remains a challenge to objectively compare different system’s performance. XOLAS: Mathias Falkenstein | +49 151 185 159 98).During the last decade, a multitude of novel systems for scalable and distributed data processing has been proposed in both academia and industry. We offer our joint services because we, StudyPortals and XOLAS, believe in the higher purpose of higher education and business schools in particular, as an integral part of our societies.” Press contact We at XOLAS are excited to cooperate with the StudyPortals` Analytics and Consulting Team to provide data-driven solutions and management tools that allow schools to respond successfully to the constantly changing and often ‘hard-to-meet expectations’ of their institutional stakeholders.
“Business Schools and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) more generally are facing a variety of challenges with the most important ones being technology-driven disruptions in teaching & learning, rising financial pressures, heightened international competition, and changing demographics. Together with XOLAS, and especially with Mathias Falkenstein, we believe we can serve the B-school sector even better, instantly! That is why we have chosen to partner with XOLAS.” We believe that real value is created when business schools match their institutional strengths to the interest in the marketplace.
DATA ANALYTICS BENCHMARKING PROFESSIONAL
Our data has already shown its predictive power and increasingly our clients, governments and professional bodies request these insights. “We have access to a growing knowledge base about the actual behaviour and preferences of international students globally. Thijs van Vugt, Director of Analytics and Consulting at Studyportals noted:
Together, STUDYPORTALS and XOLAS answer the most relevant questions and develop successful ways to enhance and promote the internationalisation of the institution, focus recruitment markets, and improve faculty and student quality. The purpose of the consultancy services is to translate the outcomes of substantial market analyses and benchmarking into actionable recommendations and linking those to institutional strategy and decision making. In this context, we link the services of XOLAS Intelligence Solutions with STUDYPORTALS ACT data analytics. The collaboration will primarily be aimed at business schools, matching institutional strength with real-time international student interest. Eindhoven, 28 February 2020 – STUDYPORTALS and XOLAS are starting a collaboration aimed at complementing each other’s strengths in benchmarking for business schools and data analytics for universities.
