Abstract
Scientists have a number of computing infrastructures available to conduct their research, including grids and public or private clouds. This paper explores the use of these cyberinfrastructures to execute scientific workflows, an important class of scientific applications. It examines the benefits and drawbacks of cloud and grid systems using the case study of an astronomy application. The application analyzes data from the NASA Kepler mission in order to compute periodograms, which help astronomers detect the periodic dips in the intensity of starlight caused by exoplanets as they transit their host star. In this paper we describe our experiences modeling the periodogram application as a scientific workflow using Pegasus, and deploying it on the FutureGrid scientific cloud testbed, the Amazon EC2 commercial cloud, and the Open Science Grid. We compare and contrast the infrastructures in terms of setup, usability, cost, resource availability and performance.
