Guest Editor’s Note: Special Issue on Clusters, Clouds and Data for Scientific Computing

This special issue gathers selected papers of the Workshop on Clusters, Clouds and Data for Scientific Computing (CCDSC) that was held at La Maison des Contes, Dareizé, France, on 2–5 September 2014. This workshop is a continuation of a series of workshops started in 1992 entitled Workshop on Environments and Tools for Parallel Scientific Computing, eventually Workshop on Clusters Computing and Grids for Scientific Computing. These workshops have been held alternately every two years between the US and France. The purpose of the workshop is to evaluate the stateof-the-art and future trends of scientific parallel computing, from multicores clusters to clouds, and their numerical and big data applications. The following papers present research on performance evaluation, parallel workflows, quality of service ranking, task scheduling, energy balancing, in the context of high-performance computing. This special issue on Clusters, Clouds and Data for Scientific Computing is organized as follows.
