I am a Computer Science Master student at Rhodes university and I am currently working on the research topic entitled "Ubiquitous cloud Computing". This website is dedicated to the report of my research and any associated articles or papers will be published here. I hope you find its content usefull. more about me...
Project Overview
Abstract—With the tremendous development in computing
technology, it has become possible for most users to enjoy the
benefits of high performance or multipurpose computing. This
is achieved through cloud computing, which is a term that
generally refers to delivering hosted services (e.g. Platform
as a Service) over the Internet. Because, we are interested
in designing a general purpose computing platform, we will
focus on the trend Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Such
infrastructure will need to be self adaptive, fault-tolerant and
easy to use. A solution is to use a dynamic cluster, where diverse
computer resources are put together to constitute a uniform
resource in terms of processing power and memory (a cloud).
We demonstrate how this can be particularly useful in an
institution, where an internal cloud is built by harnessing
workstations’ processors idle times.
Index Terms—Cloud computing, high performance computing
(HPC), computer resources.
