Unlocking the Potential of HPC in the Google Cloud with Open-Source Tools
DescriptionCloud computing technologies have seen tremendous growth in recent years, with many organizations moving their HPC workloads to the cloud due to its flexibility in the organization and provisioning of HPC infrastructure. While such a diverse and flexible set of options brings additional degrees of freedom, they also bring a daunting set of hardware and software choices. Furthermore, the lines between traditional system administrator and application deployment can be blurred.

In this tutorial, we will provide a foundation to understand how to run HPC workloads in the cloud effectively and with minimal complexity. We start with a primer on cloud foundations and how they map to common HPC concepts, and then dive deeper into core HPC cloud components. We then introduce important HPC partners, discuss industry-specific solutions and present blueprints describing infrastructure, scheduler and applications.

Finally, we present the best practices to run HPC in the cloud and how to explore your options for the best configuration for price/performance.

This tutorial will use a combination of lectures and hands-on labs using Google Cloud, the open-source Google Cloud HPC Toolkit, Slurm, Spack, and other popular open-source HPC software to provide a balance of both theoretical and hands-on learning.
