Lei Wang, Jianfeng Zhan, Weisong Shi, Yi Liang, Lin Yuan

TL;DR
This paper introduces a new cloud service model called DSP, demonstrating that MTC and HTC providers can achieve significant resource savings and cost benefits through economies of scale using the DawningCloud platform.
Contribution
The paper proposes the DSP model, designs and implements DawningCloud, and provides a comprehensive evaluation showing resource savings and cost-effectiveness for MTC and HTC providers.
Findings
DawningCloud reduces resource consumption by up to 46.4% (HTC) and 74.9% (MTC).
DawningCloud saves up to 29.7% total resource consumption.
MTC and HTC providers benefit from economies of scale on cloud platforms.
Abstract
In this paper, we intend to answer one key question to the success of cloud computing: in cloud, do many task computing (MTC) or high throughput computing (HTC) service providers, which offer the corresponding computing service to end users, benefit from the economies of scale? Our research contributions are three-fold: first, we propose an innovative usage model, called dynamic service provision (DSP) model, for MTC or HTC service providers. In the DSP model, the resource provider provides the service of creating and managing runtime environments for MTC or HTC service providers, and consolidates heterogeneous MTC or HTC workloads on the cloud platform; second, according to the DSP model, we design and implement DawningCloud, which provides automatic management for heterogeneous workloads; third, a comprehensive evaluation of DawningCloud has been performed in an emulatation…
