Cloud computing offers a variable-cost payment scheme that allows cloud customers to specify the price they are willing to pay for renting spot instances to run their applications at much lower costs than fixed payment schemes, and…

Cloud computing providers are now offering their unused resources for leasing in the spot market, which has been considered the first step towards a full-fledged market economy for computational resources. Spot instances are virtual…

A non-invasive, cloud-agnostic approach is demonstrated for extending existing cloud platforms to include checkpoint-restart capability. Most cloud platforms currently rely on each application to provide its own fault tolerance. A uniform…

Cloud providers sell their idle capacity on markets through an auction-like mechanism to increase their return on investment. The instances sold in this way are called spot instances. In spite that spot instances are usually 90% cheaper…

Cloud vendors offer discounted spot instances to maximize surplus resource utilization, but these instances are subject to the risk of sudden interruption. Traditional pricing datasets have been employed to predict this risk, yet recent…

In late 2009, Amazon introduced spot instances to offer their unused resources at lower cost with reduced reliability. Amazon's spot instances allow customers to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances for as long as their…

Cost optimization is a common goal of workflow schedulers operating in cloud computing environments. The use of spot instances is a potential means of achieving this goal, as they are offered by cloud providers at discounted prices compared…

Reliability, security and stability of cloud services without sacrificing too much resources have become a desired feature in the area of workload management in clouds. The paper proposes and evaluates a lightweight framework for scheduling…

Grid computing is a collection of computer resources that are gathered together from various areas to give computational resources such as storage, data or application services. This is to permit clients to access this huge measure of…

Software bugs in cloud management systems often cause erratic behavior, hindering detection, and recovery of failures. As a consequence, the failures are not timely detected and notified, and can silently propagate through the system. To…

Cloud computing delivers value to users by facilitating their access to computing capacity in periods when their need arises. An approach is to provide both on-demand and spot services on shared servers. The former allows users to access…

Spot instances are virtual machines offered at 60-90% lower cost that can be reclaimed at any time, with only a short warning period. Spot instances have already been used to significantly reduce the cost of processing workloads in the…

Scientific workflows have been predominantly used for complex and large scale data analysis and scientific computation/automation and the need for robust workflow scheduling techniques has grown considerably. But, most of the existing…

Fault-tolerance has always been an important topic when it comes to running massively parallel programs at scale. Statistically, hardware and software failures are expected to occur more often on systems gathering millions of computing…

Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers are offering their unused resources in the form of variable-priced virtual machines (VMs), known as "spot instances", at prices significantly lower than their standard fixed-priced resources. To lease…

Spot instances offer significant cost savings of up to 90% over on-demand prices, making them an attractive resource for large-scale computing workloads. However, understanding their availability dynamics is essential for building systems…

This paper represents "Cloudlab", a comprehensive, cloud - native laboratory designed to support network security research and training. Built on Google Cloud and adhering to GitOps methodologies, Cloudlab facilitates the the creation,…

Application partitioning and code offloading are being researched extensively during the past few years. Several frameworks for code offloading have been proposed. However, fewer works attempted to address issues occurred with its…

Checkpointing is an indispensable technique to provide fault tolerance for long-running high-throughput applications like those running on desktop grids. This paper argues that a dedicated checkpoint storage system, optimized to operate in…

Volunteer Computing, sometimes called Public Resource Computing, is an emerging computational model that is very suitable for work-pooled parallel processing. As more complex grid applications make use of work flows in their design and…
