云计算热点问题分析

在云计算的研究和应用中一些热点问题比较突出,如：如何理解计算资源及其虚拟化、云计算与网格计算的差异、云计算中心与高性能计算机的关系、云安全和云标准等。文章对此给出了一些见解：计算资源的虚拟化促使信息服务走向规模化、集约化和专业化;网格计算是＂多为一＂,而云计算是＂一为多＂;部署于高性能计算中心的高性能计算机未必适合云计算;云安全已经将传统安全问题发展为服务方和被服务方之间的信任和信任管理问题;在现有标准的基础上,云计算标准将需更加关注服务的互操作等。

Analysis of Areas of Research Interest in Cloud Computing

In the study of cloud computing and its applications, topics such as understanding computing resource utilization, differences between grid and cloud computing, relationship between high performance computers and the cloud computing centre, and security and standards have attracted intense research interest. This paper analyzes these topics and concludes that virtualization provides Internet users with intensive, large-scale professional services; grid computing involves utilizing many computers for one large-scale computing task, while cloud computing involves one platform for many services. A high performance computer in the high performance computer center may be unsuitable for a cloud computing; security in cloud computing focuses on trust and trust management between service suppliers and consumers; and based on existing standards in cloud computing, new standards should be developed to realize interoperability between services.
