Expanding TCAD Simulations from Grid to Cloud

H. Demel, Z. Stanojevic, M. Karner, G. Rzepa, T. Grasser
In this work, the distribution, execution and performance of TCAD simulations on grid and cloud systems are investigated. A module for distributed computing which can uniformly interface both grid and cloud computing systems has been implemented within GTS Framework. Automated allocation of resources for user jobs on a combined platform has been achieved. Traditional grid-computing systems are compared with cloud-based systems. Strategies for cost-effective allocation of cloud-resources are presented. The performance of a typical TCAD application run on a grid, in the cloud, and a hybrid system combining both are assessed.
