Online C/C++ compiler using cloud computing

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. The paper aims to describe an online compiler which helps to reduce the problems of portability and storage space by making use of the concept of cloud computing. The ability to use different compilers allows a programmer to pick up the fastest or the most convenient tool to compile the code and remove the errors. Moreover, a web-based application can be used remotely throughout any network connection and it is platform independent. The errors/outputs of the code are stored in a more convenient way. Also, the trouble of installing the compiler on each computer is avoided. Thus, these advantages make this application ideal for conducting examinations online.
