Multimedia Processing Pricing Strategy in GPU-Accelerated Cloud Computing

Pricing Strategy for Cloud Computing Services

The cloud services market exhibits unique characteristics such as instant accessibility, fluctuating demand and supply, and interruptible service provision. Various pricing mechanisms exist in current industry practice, however, none is comprehensive enough to capture all these features. In my work, I identify key factors related to cloud computing pricing. My dissertation includes three essays...

GPU-Accelerated Cloud Computing for Data-Intensive Applications

Recently, many large-scale data-intensive applications have emerged from the Internet and science domains. They pose significant challenges on the performance, scalability and programmability of existing data management systems. The challenges are even greater when these data management systems run on emerging parallel and distributed hardware and software platforms. In this chapter, we study t...

GPU Accelerated Molecular Surface Computing

A method is presented for computing the SES (solvent excluded surface) of a protein molecule in interactive-time based on GPU (graphics processing unit) acceleration. First, the offset surface of the van der Waals spheres is sampled using an offset distance d that corresponds to the radius of the solvent probe. The SES is then constructed by extracting the surface at distance d from the sample ...
