Abstract: The potential of cloud computing is still underutilized in the scientific computing field. Even if clouds probably are not fit for high-end HPC applications, they could be profitably used to bring the power of low-cost and scalable parallel computing to the masses. But this requires simple and friendly development environments, able to exploit cloud scalability and to provide fault tolerance. This paper presents a framework built on the top of a cloud-aware platform (mOSAIC) for the development of bag-of-tasks scientific applications.
Benedictis et al. REF present a framework, called BOT, for developing bag-of-tasks scientific applications on the mOSAIC cloud platform.
