ABSTRACT

Recent cloud computing enables numerous scientists to earn advantages by serving on-demand and elastic resources whenever they desire computing resources. This science cloud paradigm has been actively developed and investigated to satisfy requirements of the scientists such as performance, feasibility and so on. However, effective allocation and provisioning virtual machines on clouds are still considered as a challenging issue in scientists using high throughput computing, since it determines whether they can earn benefits from economy of scale in clouds or not. Moreover, allocating the "right" provisioned cloud resources on an optimal data center is very important as performance can vary widely depending on where and under what circumstances it actually runs. In these reasons, it is required that an appropriate and suitable model for science cloud to support increasing scientists and computations.

In this paper, we present an allocation and provisioning model of science cloud, especially for high throughput computing applications. In this model, we utilize job traces where statistical method is applied to pick the most influential features for improving application performance. With the feature, the system determines where VM is deployed (allocation) and which instance type is proper (provisioning). An adaptive evaluation step which is subsequent to the job execution enables our model to adapt to dynamical computing environments. We show performance achievements as comparing the proposed model with other policies through experiments. Finally, we expect that improvement on performance as well as reduction of cost from resource consumption through our model.
