Why Cloud for HPC?

Initial Idea Successful Solution

Traditional Barriers

• Slow server procurement & provisioning• Limited resources• Competition over resources• Large upfront investments

# 13

Why Cloud for HPC?

Initial Idea Successful SolutionWith Cloud Computing

• Provision servers instantly• Theoretically unlimited resources• Pay as you go pricing• No upfront infrastructure costs

# 14

One Click HPC• Deploy a Grid Engine Cluster in under 10 minutes• Full server provisioning automation & orchestration• Pay as you go pricing• Ideal for serial-based HPC workloads• Automatically provision your Queue Master & Execution Hosts

Best Practices for Data• Many possible solutions exist. Consider…

• Storing data in Amazon’s S3 service and accessing via S3FS• Ingesting data into S3 then distributing to mounted EBS volumes• Utilize ‘rsync’ or ‘scp’ to move files from your site into EBS volumes• Utilizing Amazon’s public datasets

• Launch your Grid Engine geographically close to your data• This solution is supported in AWS regions worldwide

• Moving data into Amazon’s cloud is free!

# 17

Best Practices for Applications• Utilize your current Grid Engine application deployment strategy• Utilize RightScale’s ServerTemplates• Upload your applications to your Queue Master node, and

distribute them to your Execution Hosts• Install the application on a NFS mounted filesystem, then mount

that filesystem on all of the compute nodes in the cluster

# 18

HPC in the Cloud - Security• AWS meets several levels of security compliance

• FISMA Low• PCI DSS Level 1• ISO 27001• SAS70 type II• HIPAA

• Amazon’s Security Center: http://aws.amazon.com/security/

• Additional user & account management via RightScale• Infrastructure & security auditing available via RightScale

Agility Example: Cost-neutral Equation

This graphic compares running the same 10,000 jobs on 2 servers versus 1000 servers. The cost is the same for either scenario in RightScale using

AWS, but the difference in elapsed time is 499 hours.(assuming each server can process 10 jobs/hour)

10,000jobs

10,000jobs
