ABSTRACT
Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that are commoditised and delivered in a manner similar to utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted. Several computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing vision and they include Grid computing, P2P computing, and more recently Cloud computing. The latter term denotes the infrastructure as a Cloud in which businesses and users are able to access applications from anywhere in the world on demand. Cloud computing delivers infrastructure, platform, and software (application) as services, which are made available as subscription-based services in a pay-as-you-go model to consumers. These services in industry are respectively referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). To realize Cloud computing, vendors such as Amazon, HP, IBM, and Sun are starting to create and deploy Clouds in various locations around the world. In addition, companies with global operations require faster response time, and thus save time by distributing workload requests to multiple Clouds in various locations at the same time. This creates the need for establishing a computing atmosphere for dynamically interconnecting and provisioning Clouds from multiple domains within and across enterprises. There are many challenges involved in creating such Clouds and Cloud interconnections.
This tutorial (1) presents the 21st century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver the vision of computing utilities; (2) defines the architecture for creating market-oriented Clouds and computing atmosphere by leveraging technologies such as VMs; (3) provides thoughts on market-based resource management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service management and computational risk management to sustain SLA-oriented resource allocation; (4) presents the work carried out as part of our recent initiative in Cloud Computing, called as Megha: (i) Aneka, a software system for providing PaaS within private or public Clouds and supporting market-oriented resource management, (ii) internetworking of Clouds for dynamic creation of federated computing environments for scaling of elastic applications, (iii) creation of 3rd party Cloud brokering services for content delivery network and e-Science applications and their deployment on capabilities of IaaS providers such as Amazon and Nirvanix along with Grid mashups, and (iv) CloudSim supporting modelling and simulation of Clouds for performance studies; and (5) concludes with the need for convergence of competing IT paradigms for delivering our 21st century vision along with pathways for future research.

ABSTRACT
Performance analysis of parallel and distributed applications has been used for several years to optimize the code and improve resources utilization. Despite the strong research effort spent during these years to develop new mechanisms to enhance the analysis task, new challenges for the analysis of these applications are still present. These challenges are mainly due to the appearance of new concepts, such as Grid Computing and more recently Cloud Computing, but also the availability of new infrastructures, such as Large-Scale Clusters, composed by thousands of multi-core processing units. Within this tutorial, we will present the main aspects related to the performance debugging of parallel applications. We give special attention to the impact of large-scale aspects on the techniques that are commonly used, from the tracing mechanisms to the analysis through visualization. Since the tutorial is addressing one of the most interesting tasks of high performance computing and the challenges of large-scale application analysis, it demonstrates an extremely high degree of relevance and addresses a broad spectrum of potential attendees, from computer architecture to highperformance parallel areas. The tutorial is divided in four parts: the definition of common problems found by parallel application developers; the common methodology applied to understand these problems; the implementation of this methodology in grid and cluster environments; and a demonstration of real-case analysis, from trace to the visualization. The first part characterizes the main problems that parallel application developers must face in order to optimize their code. Problems like computing and network bottleneck identification, low resource utilization leading to load imbalances among processes and low performance in large-scale situations are defined. The second part presents the methodology and theoretical approaches to detect these problems, through execution tracing and visualization analysis. The third part presents implemented tools and techniques that are used to analyze performance problems, showing examples of visualization tools. The fourth part presents a demonstration of a real-world large-scale parallel application executed on a Grid and also the analysis of synthetic traces that illustrate commons problems found when doing a performance debugging.
