Abstract :
The emerging cyberinfrastructure holds the promise of providing on-demand access to high performance network, compute and data resources. Image guided neurosurgery is one of many applications that requires such on-demand access to resources. In this paper, we have studied the feasibility of accessing such resources on-demand. An experiment was designed and carried out across five TeraGrid clusters for this study. This paper provides an analysis of the results and draws some conclusion regarding feasibility of on-demand access to high performance resources
