4 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 44 What is Cloud Computing

5 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 55 What is Cloud Computing  Resource availability is a key factor to achieve prosperity of any society,  Particularly important are computing resources E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Government, E-Banking  To attain their full potential, computing resources need to be efficiently utilized preferably in an aggregated manner.  The demand for computing resources can now be met by utility computing, grid computing, and most recently cloud computing.

6 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 66 What is Cloud Computing Utility Computing  Utility computing providers rent capacity on computing resources that they maintain  Metered computing: analogous to electric power (Pay per use)  Resources often virtualized and shared by multiple tenants  Example: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (estimated $60 USD/Month for one EC2 Instance for 24hrs/day-7days/week). Pay per use option  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) web service provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud  Designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

7 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 77 What is Cloud Computing Utility versus Cloud computing  Cloud computing not only provides raw computing resources, but also hosts the applications that use these resources.  Applications usually accessed via a web browser.  User data typically stored on provider's file systems.  Underlying computing infrastructure concealed from user.  Example: gmail servers are concealed from users  Cloud Computing middleware systems are available for building clouds and their applications (e.g., Eucalyptus and Hadoop)

8 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 88 What is Cloud Computing Cluster and Grid Computing  A cluster is a collection of tightly coupled computing servers.  Usually co-located.  A computing grid is a distributed collection of computing servers.  While the servers may be dedicated resources, they could be borrowed from idle desktop computers.  A grid middleware system is needed to support the development and assessment of service-oriented grid systems and applications (e.g., CROWN-C) http://www.wrgrid.org.uk/Resources/Leaflets/WRG_COLAB_Sept2007.pdf

9 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 99 Example: University of Florida Campus Grid

10 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 10 Example: University of California Campus Grid

11 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 11 The WVU Cloud Computing Project  A research team at West Virginia University led by Dr. Mat Valenti has been developing a cloud computing resource for the purpose of scientific computing  by running a Matlab compute engine applications on underutilized computers located in the student computer labs and computer classrooms Frontier CC middleware

12 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 12 What is Cloud Computing Grid and Community Computing  Community computing projects assemble a grid of donated CPU resources using volunteers idle cycles  Example: The BOINC software by UC Berkley is an Open- source software for volunteer computing and grid computing.volunteer computinggrid computing  BOINC lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, Folding@home, World Community Grid, and many, Folding@home ( http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php ) http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php  Uses Screensavers (windows) or low-priority process (linux)

13 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 13 What is Cloud Computing Grid and Cloud Computing  Resource Sharing:  Grid enhances fair sharing of resources across organization.  Cloud provide resources according to demand so no actual sharing of resources due to the isolation through virtualization  Virtualization:  Grid: virtualization covers both data and resources (flat file and database).  Cloud adds virtualization for hardware resources too  Security:  Grid: security is not seriously explored.  Cloud: Each user has a unique access to the virtualized environment

14 Al-Imam University Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 14 What is Cloud Computing Grid and Cloud Computing  Usability:  Clouds are easily usable hiding the deployment details from the user.  Grid: hard to manage  Payment model:  Cloud use pay- per use model.  Grid fixed rate per service.  Scalability  Both Grid and cloud deals with scalability  Heterogeneity:  Both cloud and grid support aggregation of heterogonous hardware and software.
