Abstract

Many e-science initiatives are currently investigating the use of cloud computing to support all kinds of scientific activities. The objective of this chapter is to describe the architecture and the deployment of the EUBrazilCC federated e-infrastructure, a Research & Development project that aims at providing a user-centric test bench enabling European and Brazilian research communities to test the deployment and execution of scientific applications on a federated intercontinental e-infrastructure. This e-infrastructure exploits existing resources that consist of virtualized data centers, supercomputers, and even opportunistically exploited desktops spread over a transatlantic geographic area. These heterogeneous resources are federated with the aid of appropriate middleware that provide the necessary features to achieve the established challenging goals. In order to elicit the requirements and validate the resulting infrastructure, three complex scientific applications have been implemented, which are also presented here.
