Dec. 1 -- Royal Society Publishing has recently published e-Science: novel research, new science and enduring impact, compiled and edited by David W Walker, Malcolm P Atkinson, John M Brooke and Paul Watson. This Theme Issue features selected papers from AHM 2010, with the aim of highlighting some of the most innovative and interesting research of the e-Science community.
The annual e-Science All Hands Meeting (AHM) is the premier e-Science conference held regularly in the United Kingdom, and provides a forum for the e-Science community to present and demonstrate their research, exchange ideas and socialize. The AHM typically attracts a few hundred participants from academia, industry and commerce, with a technical programme of keynote presentations, regular sessions, workshops, poster sessions and birds-of-a-feather meetings. As the AHMs have developed, they have adopted a broad interpretation of what is meant by e-Science, and that is reflected in the articles published in this issue.

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
