The scientific computing landscape is becoming more and more complex. Besides traditional supercomputers and clusters, scientists can also apply grid and cloud infrastructures. Moreover, the current integration of many-core technologies such as GPUs with such infrastructures adds to the complexity. To make matters worse, data distribution, hardware availability, software heterogeneity, and increasing data sizes, commonly force scientists to use multiple computing platforms simultaneously: a true computing jungle.
