Performance Analysis of Loosely Coupled Applications in Heterogeneous Distributed Computing Systems
TL;DR: This paper quantitatively analyze the performance of three different real scientific applications consisting of many tasks on top of HDC systems based on a Partnership of Distributed Computing Clusters, Grids, and Clouds to show practical issues that normal scientific users can face during the course of leveraging these systems.
Data locality techniques in an active cluster file system designed for scientific workflows
TL;DR: This dissertation analyzes the potential benefits of exploiting the structural information already available in scientific workflows – the explicit dependencies – to achieve a scalable and stable system.

Acceleration of Data-Intensive Workflow Applications by Using File Access History
Miki Horiuchi,Kenjiro Taura +1 more
TL;DR: A method for predicting input/output files of each job without user-supplied annotations is proposed and it predicts I/O files by collecting file access history in a profiling run prior to the production run.
