Process Replication for HPC Applications on the Cloud

چکیده
Cloud computing has emerged as a new paradigm in large-scale computing. Highperformance computing (HPC) is an important research tool for a variety of fields. HPC requires a large investment in specialized computing infrastructure. While these costs could be alleviated by commercial cloud computing environments, standard clouds have extremely variable latency and reliability characteristics and are unsuitable for traditional HPC applications. In this paper we explore an approach to alleviate the latency limitations of cloud environments for HPC applications.

Data Replication-Based Scheduling in Cloud Computing Environment
Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...
متن کاملImproving Data Availability Using Combined Replication Strategy in Cloud Environment
As grow as the data-intensive applications in cloud computing day after day, data popularity in this environment becomes critical and important. Hence to improve data availability and efficient accesses to popular data, replication algorithms are now widely used in distributed systems. However, most of them only replicate the static number of replicas on some requested chosen sites and it is ob...

In this article we describe the application of HPC standard benchmark tests to Amazon’s EC2 cloud computing system, in order to explore the utility of EC2 for modest HPC style applications. Based on these benchmarks we find that the EC2 cloud system is emerging as a credible solution for supporting responsive on-demand, small sized, HPC applications. We illustrate this point with a demonstratio...
متن کاملEarly Prediction of the Cost of Cloud Usage for HPC Applications
After a decade of diffusion, cloud computing has received wide acceptance, but it is not yet attractive for the HPC community. Clouds could be a cost-effective alternative to clusters and supercomputers, providing economy of scale, elasticity, flexibility, and easy customization. Unfortunately, most clouds are optimized for running business applications, not for HPC. However, they can be profit...
