Nimbus Auto Scale (Phantom)
Project Information
- Discipline
- Computer Science (401)
- Orientation
- Research
In this project we will be creating software that provides VM scaling services to the scientific community.
Intellectual MeritDiscover best practices for highly scalable embarassingly parallel applications using backfill VM techniques.
Broader ImpactsThis has the potential to change how cloud computing is presented to scientists of non-computational disciplines (biology, physics, etc).
