Title: Science Applications and Clouds

Abstract: Clouds offer a number of opportunities for science, but current applications will need to change to take advantage of these opportunities.  This talk with use the author's experiences in graduate school, where parallel programming was starting to become mainstream in HPC, and at JPL, where grids were starting to become mainstream for some HPC science, to look at the issues in today's context, where clouds are becoming popular, but are not currently used for a high fraction of large-scale science.
