Outline of Final Research Achievements

Federated cloud organized by cloud platforms distributed over multiple sites is a promising platform for research and education in academic communities. However, a load balancing technology to assign application programs to suitable cloud platforms has not been established. In this project, we conducted the study on the load balancing technology that enabled high-performance and reliable computing by utilizing cloud platforms distributed over multiple sites. We proposed application performance models on cloud platforms and developed a software system to select suitable cloud platforms by collecting application performance characteristics.
