Issues with Dedicated HPC

• Cost of Dedicated Hardware(High Cap-Ex)

• Time for Up and Running System

• Failure Management

Benefits of Running HPC on Cloud

• On demand Resource Provisioning
• Reduced Cost as no need for dedicated hardware and pay-as-you-go model
• Better utilization of Resources
• Cloud provider takes care of failure management
• Just spin up the HPC Cluster in Cloud, complete it ,scale down and finish)

Existing Solution

• Virtualization Overhead
• Resource Contention
• Separate resource pool for Cloud and HPC

Problem Identification

Conclusion

HPC will adopt Virtualization only if

• No performance overhead

• Better Resource Sharing/Better resource control

• Custom Environments

• Isolation i)Security ii)Performance
