Modeling and Simulation (M&S) has become an essential tool in the development, testing and verification of operational software in a complex multi-domain, multi-threaded heterogeneous system of systems environment. The complex systems of today encompass mix of hardware sub-systems (with varying degree of capabilities), software environments (comprising a plethora of development environments, operating...
Clouds are rapidly joining high-performance Grids as viable computational platforms for scientific exploration and discovery, and it is clear that production computational infrastructures will integrate both these paradigms in the near future. As a result, understanding usage modes that are meaningful in such a hybrid infrastructure is critical. For example, there are interesting application workflows...
It is generally accepted that the ability to develop large-scale distributed applications that are extensible and independent of infrastructure details has lagged seriously behind other developments in cyberinfrastructure. As the sophistication and scale of distributed infrastructure increases, the complexity of successfully developing and deploying distributed applications increases both quantitatively...
Multicluster grids provide one promising solution to satisfying growing computation demands of compute-intensive applications by collaborating various networked clusters. However, it is challenging to seamlessly integrate all participating clusters in different domains into a virtual computation platform. In order to take full advantages of multicluster grids capability, computer scientists need to...
MapReduce has emerged as an important data-parallel programming model for data-intensive computing - for Clouds and Grids. However most if not all implementations of MapReduce are coupled to a specific infrastructure. SAGA is a high-level programming interface which provides the ability to create distributed applications in an infrastructure independent way. In this paper, we show how MapReduce has...
There exists a class of scientific applications for which utilizing distributed resources is critical for reducing the time-to-solution. In this paper, we discuss a specific class of applications - Replica-Exchange simulations - where the orchestration of many distributed jobs in a dynamic and inherently unreliable distributed environment is essential for a successful completion. We describe the design,...
