Cloud computing is the newest distributed computing paradigm and it offers tremendous opportunities to solve large scale scientific problems. However, it presents a range of challenges that need to be addressed in order to be efficiently utilized for workflow applications. With the rapid development of Cloud computing, more and more users deposit their data and application on the cloud. Cloud computing has many characteristics, e.g. multi-user, virtualization, scalability and so on. Because of these new characteristics, usual security technologies can’t make Cloud computing fully safe. Therefore, Cloud computing security becomes the present research focus. With the increasing popularity of the cloud computing model and quick proliferation of cloud infrastructures there are increasing concerns about energy consumption and ensuing impact of cloud computing as a contributor to total CO2 emissions. Due to the growing demand of cloud services, allocation of energy efficient resources (CPU, memory, storage, etc.) and resources utilization are the major challenging issues of a large cloud data center. Elasticity is undoubtedly one of the most striking characteristics of cloud computing. Especially in the area of (HPC) high performance computing, elasticity can be used to execute irregular and CPU-intensive applications.
