Most public cloud computing providers use virtual machines or Docker containers for IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service). This cannot meet the needs of high performance computing (HPC) users. HPC Scalable partners with the world leading supercomputer centers to offer cloud service for HPC users. Scalable HPC Cloud users can login to the supercomputer, transfer data. and submit jobs. Users can also use the available applications on the supercomputer without extra charge. In addition, they have the choice of uploading own code to compile and run.
Users are charged by number of core-hours with complementary of accessing to GPU, large memory, storage, and applications.
Features
The main features of Scalable HPC Cloud are:
- Supercomputer access pay by core-hours
- Access to large memory and GPU nodes
- Access to installed applications
Hardware
The current hardware configurations are:
| Node | Configuration |
|---|---|
| CPU Node | 2 x 12 Intel Xeon E5-2692 v2 64GB RAM |
| GPU Node | 2 x 10 Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 256GB RAM 2 x NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPU |
