Research challenges: integrating Clouds and CI • George O. Strawn • U.S. NITRD Program
With thanks to • Manish Parashar, Rutgers • Geoffrey Fox, Indiana U • et al
Clouds and CI/eScience • Algorithms and application formation • Programming systems and abstractions • Middleware, management and economics • End-to-end challenges and best practices • Security • Deployment/Transition to practice
Algorithms and application formation • Algorithm formulation based on elastic access • Validation of execution in clouds • New fault-tolerant models - eg, global restart
Programming systems and abstractions • Big data programming models - eg, MapReduce • Cloud-HPC interoperability • Debugging
Middleware, management and economics • Provisioning, scheduling, federating • Monitoring, on-line data analytics • Commercial clouds too expensive for science
End-to-end challenges and best practices • AaaS? (Application as a Service) • Design for failure • Moving data is a challenge
Security • Delegation and authorization in clouds • CI + cloud single sign-on • Provisioning secrets on virtual machines
Deployment / Transition to practice • Standards • Training • Pilot efforts
In conclusion • Cyberinfrastructure is already changing the conduct of science • As the challenges associated with cloud computing are "solved", even more profound changes in the conduct of science can be anticipated
