LW-305 Cloud Computing
This course provides a thorough and detailed description of cloud computing concepts, architectures and technologies. Computational science is changing to be data-intensive. Supercomputers must be balanced systems, not just CPU farms but also petascale I/O and networking arrays. In the future, working with large data sets will typically mean sending the computations (programs) to the data, rather than copying the data to the workstations. This reflects the trend in IT of moving computing and data from the desktops to large data centers, where there is on-demand provision of software, hardware and data as a service. This data explosion has promoted the idea of cloud computing. Cloud systems presented include the public clouds: Google AppEngine, Amazon Web Service, Facebook, SalesForce.com and many others.
