Both grid and cloud are used to organize large scale calculations and data processing on remote computers. Grid which became a basic computing infrastructure for the Large Hadron Collider experiments provides unified technical solutions for sharing and merging distributed heterogeneous computing resources within big collaboration groups. Cloud became popular among data centers and computing service providers because of flexibility, manageability and efficient hardware utilization. Both approaches share common ideology "computing as a service", so one can expect additional benefits from their integration.The paper describes our approach to the integration. We propose to use cloud within grid sites for acceleration of application deployment and easy support of multiple virtual organizations by grid sites.The cloud in grid approach has been implemented and tested in Ukrainian National Grid, a part of European Grid Infrastructure.
An algorithm for processing multicomponent seismic data is proposed. It is implemented in and its performance is measured on the Inparcom cluster. Several improvements are applied to speed up the program and to reduce the filesystem load, in particular, local folders are used to store temporary files of separate processes and indexing is used to speed up navigation through large files.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
