Chiminey: Reliable Computing and Data Management Platform in the Cloud
The enabling of scientific experiments that are embarrassingly parallel, long
running and data-intensive into a cloud-based execution environment is a
desirable, though complex undertaking for many researchers. The management of
such virtual environments is cumbersome and not necessarily within the core
skill set for scientists and engineers. We present here Chiminey, a software
platform that enables researchers to (i) run applications on both traditional
high-performance computing and cloud-based computing infrastructures, (ii)
handle failure during execution, (iii) curate and visualise execution outputs,
(iv) share such data with collaborators or the public, and (v) search for
publicly available data.Comment: Preprint, ICSE 201
