Resource Allocation in Today's Scientific Computing

Resource Allocation in Today's Scientific Computing

Jarek Nabrzyski, University of Notre Dame, USA

Scientists today have a broad range of computational resources available to compute his or her jobs on time and budget. Grids, Clouds, Condors pools, national and local research clusters and other computational resources are at their hands. This range of possibilities, however, makes computational scientist's life very difficult. Very often they are simply lost in this "jungle" of resources.

In this talk various approaches to resource allocation and provisioning will be discussed. The focus will be on heterogeneous environments, where a single user has access to both, local resource and private and public clouds.
