Porting applications to Distributed Computing Infrastruc- tures (DCIs) is eased by the use of workflow abstractions. Yet, estimating the impact of the execution DCI on applica- tion performance is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the resources available, middleware and operation models. This paper describes a workflow-based experimental...

Large scale distributed systems such as Grids are difficult to study from theoretical models and simulators only. Most Grids deployed at large scale are production platforms that are inappropriate research tools because of their limited reconfiguration, control and monitoring capabilities. In this paper, we present Grid'5000, a 5000 CPU...
