Scientific computing requires an ever-increasing number of resources to deliver results for growing problem sizes in a reasonable timeframe. In the last decade, while the largest research projects were able to afford expensive supercomputers, others were forced to opt for cheaper resources such as commodity clusters or computational Grids. Today, Cloud computing proposes an alternative by which resources...
The drift towards new challenges in grid computing, including the utility grid paradigm and service level agreements based on quality-of-service guarantees, implies the need for new, robust, multi-criteria scheduling algorithms that can be applied by the user in an intuitive way. Multiple scheduling criteria addressed by the related grid research include execution time, the cost of running a task...
Scientific workflows are a topic of great interest in the grid community that sees in the workflow model an attractive paradigm for programming distributed wide-area grid infrastructures. Traditionally, the grid workflow execution is approached as a pure best effort scheduling problem that maps the activities onto the grid processors based on appropriate optimization or local matchmaking heuristics...
Workflows have emerged as a paradigm for representing and managing complex distributed computations and are used to accelerate the pace of scientific progress. A recent National Science Foundation workshop brought together domain, computer, and social scientists to discuss requirements of future scientific applications and the challenges they present to current workflow technologies.
