A Memory Architecture Design for High-Performance Cloud Computing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The advent of cloud is drastically changing the High Performance Computing (HPC) application scenarios. Current virtual machine-based IaaS architectures are not designed for HPC applications. This paper presents a new cloud oriented storage system by constructing a large scale memory grid in a distributed environment in order to support low latency data access of HPC applications. This Cloud Memory model is built through the implementation of a private virtual file system (PVFS) upon virtual operating system (OS) that allows HPC applications to access data in such a way that Cloud Memory can access local disks in the same fashion.
