PARENG11: Threat Detection in Urban Water Distribution Systems with Simulations Conducted in Grids and Clouds

 

William Johnston from Esnet presented the paper, "Threat Detection in Urban Water Distribution Systems with Simulations Conducted in Grids and Clouds." at the Second International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, Grid and Cloud Computing for Engineering. The paper was written by G. von Laszewski, L. Wang, F. Wang, G.C. Fox and G.K. Mahinthakumar.   The paper presented work on using hadoop in a scientific application and contracting it to regular master worker paradigms conducted with simple ssh calls. We found the hadoop implementation conducted is three times slower.
