This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past and current research in computer performance analysis has focused primarily on dedicated parallel machines. However, future applications in the area of high-performance computing will not only use individual parallel systems but a large set of networked resources. This scenario of computational and data Grids is attracting a great deal of attention from both computer and computational scientists. In addition to the inherent complexity of parallel machines, the sharing and transparency of the available resources introduces new challenges on performance analysis, techniques, and systems. In order to meet those challenges, a multi-disciplinary approach to the multi-faceted problems of performance is required. New degrees of freedom will come into play with a direct impact on the performance of Grid computing, including wide-area network performance, quality-of-service (QoS), heterogeneity, and middleware systems, to mention only a few.

Download or read book Grid Computing written by Francisco Fernández Rivera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-03-06 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On behalf of the Program Committee, it is a pleasure for us to introduce the proceedings of the 1st European Across Grids Conference. This event was held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, February 13-14, 2003. The conference,organized by the University of Santiago (USC), the University of A Coruna (UDC) and the Super computing Center of Galicia (CESGA), was promoted by the European Cross Grid project and supported by the Grid Start Cluster. The idea of organizing this event was born within the Cross Grid community. Cross Grid is developing its middleware, tools and applications in collaboration with Data Grid and Grid Lab and is open to collaboration with other Grid projects. USC, UDC and CESGA enthusiastically supported the conference idea. We consider the Across Grids Conference to be an important contribution to the objectives of the Grid Start project. The aim of this 1st European Across Grids Conference was to forge annual forum in which researchers linked to European projects could present their research results in the field of Grid computing. This conference does not tend to replace the Global Grid Forum. However, we do find that research being conducted within European projects deserves a special meeting in which all researchers participating in the Grid development challenge can exchange ideas, experiences and, chiefly, results. We would like the effort of organizing this forum to find continuity in the following years in other European cities. Our first interest was to bring together as many European Grid projects as possible. We believe we have been successful in attaining this aim. Papers and posters from Data Grid, Cross Grid, Damien, Data TAG, Grid Way and Grid Lab were presented, as well as results of research funded by national Grid projects, including NORDUGRID and several Spanish Grid initiatives, such as Rede Grid.

Book excerpt: In the past two decades, grid computing have fostered advances in several scientific domains by making resources available to a wide community and bridging scientific gaps. Grid infrastructures have been harnessing computational resources all around the world allowing all kinds of parallelisms to be explored. Other approaches to parallel and distributed computing still exist like the use of dedicated high-performance (HPC) infrastructures, and the use of clouds for computing and storage, but grid computing continues to be the predominant technology used for scientific computing in Europe, through the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) and the European Middleware Initiative (EMI). Currently, there is a trend towards the use of cloud technologies for computing and storage. In Europe, this trend is being followed by taking advantage of all the experiences gained from building grid infrastructures and the technologies developed around them (resource management orchestration, unified job description languages, security, user interfaces, programming models, and scheduling policies, among others). As a result, the European Grid Infrastructure Federated Cloud is being built on top of the grid infrastructure already available. After almost two decades of the development of grid software and components and the emergence of competing technologies, now is the time to discuss current trends and to assess future prospects. When organising this book, the authors considered contributions that would review the current grid computing scenario as well as contributions that would summarise the main tools and technologies used so far. The chapters in this book provide reviews for the following topics: a) performance prediction for parallel and distributed computing systems, b) resource sharing on computational grids, c) economic models for resource management, and d) programming frameworks. The chapters address grid issues such as a) the challenges of designing efficient job schedulers for production grids, b) scalability analysis of bag-of-tasks applications, c) the energy efficiency of resource reservation-based scheduling, and d) the development of parallel applications using the grid environment. Additionally, the following tools are presented: a) a programming framework based on the concept of a pluggable grid service that avoids explicit calls to grid services in scientific code and b) a desktop grid framework that runs on top of a cloud and can be deployed on the fly. The authors were each invited to contribute a chapter to this book, which were carefully revised and selected based on their originality and the value of their contribution to the overall discussion on grid computing and its future prospects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of parallel and distributed computing is undergoing changes at a breathtaking pace. Networked computers are now omnipresent in virtually every application, from games to sophisticated space missions. The increasing complexity, heterogeneity, largeness, and dynamism of the emerging pervasive environments and associated applications are challenging the advancement of the parallel and distributed computing paradigm. Many novel infrastructures have been or are being created to provide the necessary computational fabric for realising parallel and distributed applications from diverse domains. New models and tools are also being proposed to evaluate and predict the quality of these complicated parallel and distributed systems. Current and recent past efforts, made to provide the infrastructures and models for such applications, have addressed many underlying complex problems and have thus resulted in new tools and paradigms for effectively realising parallel and distributed systems. This book showcases these novel tools and approaches with inputs from relevant experts.
