In this paper, we present a model to estimate the resource costs for executing data-intensive workloads in a public cloud. The cost model quantifies the cost-effectiveness of a resource configuration for a given workload with consumer performance requirements expressed as SLAs, and is a key component of a larger framework for resource provisioning in clouds. We instantiate the cost model for the Amazon cloud, and experimentally evaluate the impact of key factors on the accuracy of the model.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126430417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Price is differentiated for different classes of customers (e.g. gold, silver, and bronze) and dynamic based on posterior distribution on resource demand considering both current demand and willingness toward green configuration. The model enables a paradigm shift in cloud service offering that provides higher transparency and control knobs to users for greener configuration. Preliminary results indicate higher profit using the proposed model compared to static pricing in existing pay-per-use service offerings.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126524299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Looking to optimise the search for such parameters, many turn to the high parallelism afforded by general purpose Graphical Processing Unit (GP-GPU) programming. This paper discusses the challenges faced and lessons learned when porting such a marine ecology simulation from a pure-CPU implementation to make use of GPU technology. While this is a specific implementation, many of the problems we encountered apply generally to GPU-based simulations. They therefore hint at the potential for reusable solutions to GPU-based environmental simulations, and pave the way for a generic GPU-middleware for natural sciences.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132302772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The software provides a widely distributed team with a set of controls and screens via common browsers to operate, observe and record essential parts of an experiment and to access remote cloud-based analysis software to process the large data sets that are often involved in complex experiments. This paper describes the architecture of the software, the underlying web services used for remote access to research facilities and describes the cloud-based approach for data analysis. The core services are general and can be used as the basis for access to a variety of systems, though specific screen interfaces and analysis software must be tailored to a facility.

To efficiently run the application, a scheduler must distribute the components of the workflow in the available resources using information about duration of tasks and communication between tasks in the workflow. However, such information may be subject to imprecisions, thus not reflecting what is observed during the execution. In this paper we propose a simple way of representing the costs of the components in a workflow in order to reduce the impact of uncertainties introduced by wrong estimations, and also to ease the application specification for the user. Evaluation shows that the use of relative costs in tasks and dependencies can improve in many cases the resulting schedule when compared to cases where the input data carries an uncertainty of 20% and 50%.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128671173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To operate properly, these services often depend on the correctness of a fraction of replicas, usually over 2/3 or 1/2. Defying the ideal situation, economical reasons may tempt users to replicate critical services onto a single multi-tenant cloud infrastructure. Since this may expose users to correlated failures, we assess the risks for two kinds of majorities: a conventional one, related to the number of replicas, regardless of the machines where they run; and a second one, related to the physical machines where the replicas run. This latter case may exist in multi-tenant virtualized environments only. We evaluate crash-stop and Byzantine faults that may affect virtual machines or physical machines. Contrary to what one might expect, we conclude that replicas do not need to be evenly distributed by a fixed number of physical machines. On the contrary, we found cases where they should be as unbalanced as possible. We try to systematically identify the best defense for each kind of fault and majority to conserve.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114532270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe VMR's architecture and evaluate its performance by executing several MapReduce applications on a wide area testbed.\u0000 Our results show that VMR successfully runs MapReduce tasks over the Internet.

Our main contribution is a mathematical programming based approach for the prediction of the response time of Web Services Compositions. This new approach occurs through the automatic generation of a linear program whose number of variables and constraints is polynomial in the number of elements used to represent the Service Composition. The equations of the linear program are based on well known aggregation rules for service composition and a new modeling that we introduced for handling communication within Web Services.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121177237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection of the proper cloud services that fit the application needs is based on cloud-related information, i.e. properties of the services such as price, availability, response time, among others. Typically, applications rely on a middleware that abstracts away the burden of direct dealing with underlying mechanisms for service selection and communication with the cloud providers. In this context, in a previous work we already discussed the benefits of using the software product lines (SPL) paradigm for representing alternative cloud services and their properties, which is suitable for the process of choosing the proper services to compose the application. As most cloud-related information are dynamic and may change any time during the application execution, the continuous monitoring of such information is essential to ensure that the deployed application is composed of cloud services that adhere to the application requirements. In this paper we present an SPL-based monitoring middleware strategy to continuously monitoring the dynamic properties of cloud services used by an application.","PeriodicalId":313448,"journal":{"name":"Middleware for Grid Computing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126370075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
