Scheduling in Virtual Infrastructure for High-Throughput Computing

Private Virtual Infrastructure for Cloud Computing

Cloud computing places an organization’s sensitive data in the control of a third party, introducing a significant level of risk on the privacy and security of the data. We propose a new management and security model for cloud computing called the Private Virtual Infrastructure (PVI) that shares the responsibility of security in cloud computing between the service provider and client, decreasin...

Large-scale virtual high-throughput screening for the identification of new battery electrolyte solvents: computing infrastructure and collective properties.

A volunteer computing approach is presented for the purpose of screening a large number of molecular structures with respect to their suitability as new battery electrolyte solvents. Collective properties like melting, boiling and flash points are evaluated using COSMOtherm and quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) based methods, while electronic structure theory methods are used ...

Mechanisms for High Throughput Computing

For many experimental scientists, scienti c progress and quality of research are strongly linked to computing throughput. In other words, most scientists are concerned with how many oating point operations per week or per month they can extract from their computing environment rather than the number of such operations the environment can provide them per second or minute. Floating point operati...

Job Scheduling for Maximal Throughput in Autonomic Computing Systems

Autonomic computing networks manage multiple tasks over a distributed network of resources. In this paper, we view an autonomic computing system as a network of queues, where classes of jobs/tasks are stored awaiting execution. At each point in time, local resources are allocated according to the backlog of waiting jobs. Service modes are selected corresponding to feasible configurations of com...
