One of the first motivations of using grids comes from applications managing large data sets in field such as high energy physics or life sciences. To improve the global throughput...
In parallel computing environments such as HPC clusters and the Grid, data-intensive applications involve large overhead costs due to a concentration of access to the files on co...
Distributed computations, dealing with large amounts of data, are scheduled in Grid clusters today using either a task-centric mechanism, or a worker-centric mechanism. Because of ...
Modern scientific computing involves organizing, moving, visualizing, and analyzing massive amounts of data from around the world, as well as employing largescale computation. The...
This paper studies five real-world data intensive workflow applications in the fields of natural language processing, astronomy image analysis, and web data analysis. Data intensiv...
