Introduction to Cloud Computing

 Utility Computing
Water, gas, and electricity are provided to every home
and business
as commodity services
 You get connected to the utility companies’
“public”infrastructure
 You get these utility serviceson‐demand
 And you pay‐as‐youuse

Utility Computing is doing same for computing

resources (processing power, bandwidth, data
storage, andenterprise software services)

Thought of by 1960s but re‐surfaced late 90s

 “If computers of the kind I have advocated become the
computers of the future, then computing may someday be
organized as a public utility just as the telephone system
is a public utility... The computer utility could become the
basis of a new and important industry.„

Distributed Computing
 Using distributed systems to solve large problems.
 Distributed System: multiple autonomous
computersconnected
through a communicationnetwork
 The system has a distributed memory where each
processor has its private memory.
 Information exchanged using communicationmodels,
ex: MPI

Distributed Computing
 Cluster Computing:
 Characteristics:
– tightly coupledcomputers
– single system image
– Centralized Job management &
schedulingsystem
 Better performance and availability and more
cost‐
effectiveness over single computer with same
capabilities
 Since 1987

 Grid Computing:
 According to Gartner, "a grid is a collection of
resources owned by multiple organizations
that is coordinated to allow them to solve a
common problem."
 Characteristics:
– loosely coupled
– no Single System Image
– distributed Job Management &
scheduling
 Originated early 1990s
Introduction to Cloud Computing
 What is Parallel Computing
 Calculations of large problems are divided into smaller
parts and
carried out simultaneously/concurrently on
instructio differentprocessors.
