Abstract

This paper presents a platform that supports the execution of scientific applications covering different programming models (such as Master/Slave, Parallel/MPI, MapReduce and Workflows) on Cloud infrastructures. The platform includes i) a high-level declarative language to express the requirements of the applications featuring software customization at runtime; ii) an approach based on virtual containers to encapsulate the logic of the different programming models; iii) an infrastructure manager to interact with different IaaS backends; iv) a configuration software to dynamically configure the provisioned resources and v) a catalog and repository of virtual machine images. By using this platform, an application developer can adapt, deploy and execute parallel applications agnostic to the cloud backend.
