A progress and profile-driven cloud-VM for resource-efficiency and fairness in e-science environments
José Simão, Luís Veiga · 2013
Cloud platforms are becoming more prevalent in e-Science domains, also by encompassing new and existing Grid infrastructures into private, hybrid and federated clouds. Clouds are inherently multi-tenant as they run workloads from multiple users. Resources can be initially allocated statically, as for job scheduling in Grids previously, but they can also be changed elastically at runtime to meet the application effective needs.
