Infrastructures for high-performance computing: Cloud computing development environments

This article describes some of the most representative cloud computing development environments classified into four types. Integrated development environments are used to code, debug, deploy and monitor cloud applications that are executed on a cloud infrastructure. Parallel-processing development environments are used to define parallel applications for processing large amount of data thatrun on a cluster of virtual machines provided by a cloud infrastructure. Workflow development environments are used to define workflow-based applications that are executed on a cloud infrastructure. Data-analytics development environments are used to define data analysis applications through machine learning and data mining tools provided by a cloud infrastructure.
