Abstract

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing provides the ability to elastically provision and relinquish new resources in response to changes in demand.In our work, we develop a model of an “elastic site” that efficiently adapts services provided within a site, such as batch schedulers, storage archives.To avoid over- or under-provisioning the resources we propose three different policies to efficiently schedule resource deployment based on demand.

Intellectual Merit

Through this project, we link to the already existing,sharable cloud community and schedule our jobs to the cloud resources and get the work done easily with good performance.

Broader Impacts

Develop an extendible resource site through which the job can be completed at a much quicker time than normal processing.

Resource Requirements

Hardware Systems
  • hotel (IBM iDataPlex at U Chicago)
  • I don't care (what I really need is a software environment and I don't care where it runs)
 
Use of FutureGrid

We require the use of nimbus toolkit and nimbuscloud for our project and hence this can be done through futuregrid portal.

Scale of Use

8GB RAM, 100GB harddisk,5 virtual machines for a period of 45 days(till april 30th 2012)
