CDAC Scientific Cloud: On Demand Provisioning of Resources for Scientific Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scientific applications have special requirements of availability of a massive computational power for performing large scale experiments and huge storage capacity to storage terabyte or petabyte range of outputs. Scientific Cloud provides scientists computational, storage and network resources with a inbuilt capability of utilizing the infrastructure. The scientific applications can be dynamically provisioned with the required cloud solutions that are tailored to the application needs. Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) under Department of IT, is the pioneer in HPC in India with ~70TF compute power. The authors of this paper have discussed the need and benefits of scientific cloud. Authors have explained the model, architecture and components of CDAC scientific cloud. CDAC HPC resources can be provisioned on-demand to the scientific research community and released when they are not required. For Indian researchers and scientists, CDAC scientific cloud model will provide convenient access to reliable, high performance clusters and storage, without the need to purchase and maintain sophisticated hardware.

متن کاملDeadline-driven provisioning of resources for scientific applications in hybrid clouds with Aneka
Scientific applications require large computing power, traditionally exceeding the amount that is available within the premises of a single institution. Therefore, clouds can be used to provide extra resources whenever required. For this vision to be achieved, however, requires both policies defining when and how cloud resources are allocated to applications and a platform implementing not only...
متن کاملSHEFT: An Elastic Workflow Scheduling Algorithm for Cloud Computing
Due to the complexity of scientific processes, compute and data intensive scientific workflows are often required to be executed in a distributed high-end computing environment, such as the Cloud. Most existing workflow scheduling algorithms only consider a computing environment in which the number of compute resources is bounded. Resources assigned to a workflow cannot be automatically determi...
