Abstract

We intend to develop a module that will attach itself to PerfCloud in order to make possible the analysis of performance not only for a particular cloud, but also other clouds or even grids or traditional physical cluster. For such, we must adjust the execution of benchmarks of the tool PerfCloud to execution in other environments.

Intellectual Merit

Integrate research activities into the teaching of science, math and engineering.

Broader Impacts

Participate in developing new approaches (e.g., use of information technology and connectivity) to engage underserved individuals, groups, and communities in science and engineering.

Resource Requirements

Hardware Systems
  • alamo (Dell optiplex at TACC)
  • foxtrot (IBM iDataPlex at UF)
  • hotel (IBM iDataPlex at U Chicago)
  • india (IBM iDataPlex at IU)
  • sierra (IBM iDataPlex at SDSC)
  • xray (Cray XM5 at IU)
 
Use of FutureGrid

As computational resource for tests.

Scale of Use

I want to run a set of comparisons on entire systems and for each I'll need about 12 years to do that.
