  abstract= "We describe an experiment which aims to reduce significantly
     the costs of running a particular large-scale grid-enabled
     application using commercial cloud computing resources. We
     incorporate three tactics into our experiment: improving the
     serial performance of each work unit, seeking the most
     cost-effective computation cycles, and making use of an
     optimized resource manager and scheduler. The
     application selected for this work is a genetics association
     analysis and is representative of a common class of
     embarrassingly parallel problems."
