gLite is one of the largest distributedcomputing infrastructures in operation. It provides access to hundreds of different clusters - all installed and maintained in different ways. This paper analyses the difficulties which users typically experience when moving from their own workstation via clusters or supercomputers to the grid. Based on that analysis, this paper presents tools, which helps to overcome this gap and introduces an advanced commandline interface to the grid.
Application areas like global sensor networks and data stream processing involve the on-line processing of large amounts of data in an overlay network of operators on top of the Internet infrastructure. Trying to fulf...

distributed Hash Table (DHT)-based peer-to-peer information discovery systems have emerged as highly scalable systems for information storage and discovery in massively distributednetworks. Originally DHTs supported only point queries. However, recently they have been extended to support more complex queries, such as multi-attribute range (MAR) queries. Generally, the support for MAR queries over DHTs has been provided either by creating an individual index for each data attribute or by creating a single index using the combination of all data attributes. In contrast to these approaches, we propose to create and modify indices using the attribute combinations that dynamically appear in MAR queries in the system. In this paper, we present an adaptive information discovery system that adapts the set of indices according to the dynamic set of MAR queries in the system. The main contribution of this paper is a four-phase index adaptation process. Our evaluations show that the adaptive information discovery system continuously optimizes the overall system performance for MAR queries. Moreover, compared to a non-adaptive system, our system achieves several orders of magnitude improved performance.

Markov clustering is becoming a key algorithm within bioinformatics for determining clusters in networks. For instance, clustering protein interaction networks is helping find genes implicated in diseases such as cancer. However, with fast sequencing and other technologies generating vast amounts of data on biological networks, performance and scalability issues are becoming a critical limiting factor in applications. Meanwhile, Graphics Processing (GPU) computing, which uses a massively parallelcomputing environment in the GPU card, is becoming a very powerful, efficient and low cost option to achieve substantial performance gains over CPU approaches. This paper introduces a very fast Markov clustering algorithm (MCL) based on massive parallelcomputing in GPU. We use the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to allow the GPU to perform parallel sparse matrix-matrix computations and parallel sparse Markov matrix normalizations, which are at the heart of the clustering algorithm. The key to optimizing our CUDA Markov Clustering (CUDAMCL) was utilising ELLACK-R sparse data format to allow the effective and fine-grain massively parallel processing to cope with the sparse nature of interaction networks datasets in bioinformatics applications. CUDA also allows us to use on-chip memory on the GPU efficiently, to lower the latency time thus circumventing a major issue in other parallelcomputing environments, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI). Here we describe the GPU algorithm and its application to several real world problems as well as to artificial datasets. We find that the principle factor causing variation in performance of the GPU approach is the relative sparseness of networks. Comparing GPU computation times against a modern quad-core CPU on the published (relatively sparse) standard BIOGRID protein interaction networks with 5156 and 23175 nodes, speed factors of 4 times and 9 were obtained, respectively. On the Human Protein Reference Database, the

The commercial success of Cloud computing and recent developments in Grid computing have brought platform virtualization technology into the field of high performance computing. Virtualization offers both more flexibility and security through custom user images and user isolation. In this paper, we deal with the problem of distributing virtual machine (VM) images to a set of distributed compute nodes in a Cross-Cloud computing environment, i.e., the connection of two or more Cloud computing sites. Ambrust et al. [3] identified data transfer bottlenecks as one of the obstacles Cloud computing has to solve to be a commercial success. Several methods for distributing VM images are presented, and optimizations based on copy on write layers are discussed. The performance of the presented solutions and the security overhead is evaluated.
