• Managing HPC Clouds


• Cloud computing is expected to transform the way IT departments operate, but the relevance of private clouds for HPC is not yet understood, much less how to apply the dynamic resource management, self-service, utility control and interoperability of cloud infrastructures to HPC environments. For example, most computing capacity provided by public cloud vendors is delivered via VM, which may not be suitable for HPC applications. By exploring the evolution of clusters and grids, it’s apparent that private and hybrid clouds can be a next generation solution for delivering more HPC capacity more cost effectively. This presentation will focus on how to build and manage private HPC cloud infrastructures, as well as examine potential hurdles. Attendees will learn about HPC cloud software components and capabilities and how to extend the capacity of a private HPC cloud by leveraging the public cloud.
