The rapid growth of high-throughput technologies has transformed biomedical research.
With the increasing amount and complexity of data, scalability and reproducibility have …

Abstract The Young/Daly formula provides an approximation of the optimal checkpointing
period for a parallel application executing on a supercomputing platform. It was originally …

Nowadays, more and more computation-intensive scientific applications with diverse needs
are migrating to cloud computing systems. However, the cloud systems alone cannot meet …

A high-performance execution of programs predominately depends on the efficient
scheduling of tasks. An application consists of a sequence of tasks that can be represented …

The resource provisioning and workflow execution in a multi-cloud environment using a pay-
as-you-use framework have recently gained the attention of the cloud computing research …

Nowadays, more and more workflow applications with different computing requirements are
migrated to clouds and executed with cloud resources. Workflow scheduling becomes a …

This article studies checkpointing strategies for parallel applications subject to failures. The
optimal strategy to minimize total execution time, or makespan, is well known when failure …

In large distributed systems, failures are a daily event occurring frequently, especially with
growing numbers of computation tasks and locations on which they are deployed. The …

The likelihood of failures rises in cloud computing systems as a result of their unstable
nature. Additionally, the size of a cloud computing system varies with time and thus failures …

This work deals with scheduling and checkpointing strategies to execute scientific workflows
on failure-prone large-scale platforms. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to …
