We describe the design and implementation of a high performance cloud that we have used to archive, analyze and mine large distributed data sets. By a cloud, we mean an infrastruc...
The growth in the number of generally available, distributed, heterogeneous computing systems places increasing importance on the development of user-friendly tools that enable ap...
