In this paper, we aim to unify previous models and compare different approaches for solving these problems.<br />By extrapolating the characteristics of the German Climate Computing Center’s previous supercomputers to the future, cost factors are identified and quantified in order to foster adequate research and development.<br />Using models to estimate the execution costs of two prototypical use cases, we are discussing the potential of three concepts: re-computation, data deduplication and data compression.<br /><br />}, number={1}, journal={Supercomputing Frontiers and Innovations}, author={Kunkel, Julian Martin and Kuhn, Michael and Ludwig, Thomas}, year={2014}, month={Jun.}, pages={116–134} }
