A View at Desktop Clouds

چکیده
Cloud has emerged as a new computing paradigm that promises to move into computing-as-utility era. Desktop Cloud is a new type of Cloud computing. It merges two computing models: Cloud computing and volunteer computing. The aim of Desktop Cloud is to provide Cloud services out of infrastructure that is not made for this purpose in order to reduce running and maintenance costs. This paper discusses this new type of Cloud by comparing it with current Cloud and Desktop Grid models. It, also, presents several research challenges in Desktop Cloud that require further attention.

متن کاملHybrid Distributed Computing Infrastructure Experiments in Grid5000 : Supporting QoS in Desktop Grids with Cloud Resources
Hybrid Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCIs) allow users to combine Grids, Desktop Grids, Clouds, etc. to obtain for their users even larger computing capabilities. In this paper, we present an experimental study of the SpeQuloS framework which aims at providing QoS to Desktop Grid by provisioning on-demand Cloud resources. We describe the experimental platform which relies on Grid5000 t...
متن کاملA general scalable and accurate decentralized level monitoring method for large-scale dynamic service provision in hybrid clouds
Hybrid cloud computing combines private clouds with geographically-distributed resources from public clouds, desktop grids or in-house gateways to provide the most flexibility of each kind of cloud platforms. Service provisioning for widearea applications such as cloud backup or cloud network games is sensitive to wide-area network metrics such as round trip time, bandwidth, or loss rates. In o...
