Abstract

CLOUD COVER which may also have heterogeneous internal components), accelerators, interconnects, and storage systems that, together and individually, provide greater efficiency for specific applications or in particular scenarios. Companies like Microsoft and PayPal that depend on large-scale datacenters are investigating heterogeneous processing elements like these to improve product performance. 2, 3 Developing cloud computing technology compatible with datacenter heterogeneity will require finding ways to optimally exploit varied specialpurpose processing elements without losing the advantages of abstraction. To this end, each of the three main cloud services models faces various challenges, as summarized in Table 1.
