Increasingly available computing resources enable the design and implementation of services that are more and more sophisticated, and rely on hig scale, high efficiency computational and communication architectures. This is a fundamental, foundational resource for computational science, that benefits from theoretical results and innovation in algorithms, but also needs the availability of raw computing power abundance to face the challenges of increasingly complex problems. State of the art technological solutions, like federated multi-site cloud and grid systems, heterogeneous systems and any kind of large scale systems, are characterized by the fact that scale and distribution are fundamental parameters to be […]
