Next Generation Cloud Computing: New Trends and Research Directions
The landscape of cloud computing has significantly changed over the last
decade. Not only have more providers and service offerings crowded the space,
but also cloud infrastructure that was traditionally limited to single provider
data centers is now evolving. In this paper, we firstly discuss the changing
cloud infrastructure and consider the use of infrastructure from multiple
providers and the benefit of decentralising computing away from data centers.
These trends have resulted in the need for a variety of new computing
architectures that will be offered by future cloud infrastructure. These
architectures are anticipated to impact areas, such as connecting people and
devices, data-intensive computing, the service space and self-learning systems.
Finally, we lay out a roadmap of challenges that will need to be addressed for
realising the potential of next generation cloud systems.Comment: Accepted to Future Generation Computer Systems, 07 September 201
Computational Physics on Graphics Processing Units
The use of graphics processing units for scientific computations is an
emerging strategy that can significantly speed up various different algorithms.
In this review, we discuss advances made in the field of computational physics,
focusing on classical molecular dynamics, and on quantum simulations for
electronic structure calculations using the density functional theory, wave
function techniques, and quantum field theory.Comment: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference, PARA 2012,
