4th Workshop on Scientific Cloud Computing (ScienceCloud) 2013
Co-located with ACM HPDC 2013New York City, NY, USA -- June 17th, 2013
Invited Talk: To Cloud My Big Data or Not To? Musings at the Intersection of Big Data, Intense Computing and Clouds
Radu Sion
Associate Professor at Stony Brook University
CEO of Private Machines Inc.
In this talk we explore the economics of cloud computing. We identify cost trade-offs and postulate the key principles of cloud outsourcing that define when cloud deployment is appropriate and why. The results may surprise and are especially interesting for big data and compute intensive applications.

Sion is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stony Brook
University (on leave) and currently the CEO of Private Machines Inc. He
remembers when gophers were digging through the Internets and bits were
running at slower paces of 512 per second. He is also interested in
efficient computing with a touch of cyber-security paranoia, raising
rabbits on space ships and sailing catamarans of the Hobie variety.
