The book “Computation and Storage in the Cloud: Understanding the Trade-Offs” discusses the cost-effective computation and storage of scientific applications in the cloud. Scientific applications are usually data-intensive and comprised of complex computation tasks that oftentimes take a significant amount of time to execute. Additionally, the generated datasets can reach terabytes or petabytes in size, making their storage a great challenge. While storing the valuable generated application datasets can save their regeneration cost and improve waiting time, the large size of the datasets is a significant challenge. This book proposes innovative concepts, theorems, and algorithms that can help reduce application costs for both cloud users and service providers in running computation and data-intensive scientific applications in the cloud.

• Explains cost models and benchmarking for necessary trade-offs for cloud providers and users
• Describes novel strategies for storing application datasets in the cloud
• Includes real-world case studies of scientific research applications
