Heuristic for resources allocation on utility computing infrastructures
João Nuno Silva, Luís Veiga, Paulo A. V. Ferreira · 2008
The use of utility on-demand computing infrastructures, such as Amazon's Elastic Clouds [1], is a viable solution to speed lengthy parallel computing problems to those without access to other cluster or grid infrastructures. With a suitable middleware, bag-of-tasks problems could be easily deployed over a pool of virtual computers created on such infrastructures.
