Leveraging the NeCTAR Research Cloud (a national IaaS for research), Monash University is building innovative digital environments for data-oriented research. This work acknowledges the 21st Century Microscope as a composite instrument - using a digital research fabric to support integrated data storage, processing, analysis and visualisation. The fabric is orchestrated to solve specific problems and driven by researcher-defined workflows. Researchers move their tools to the data.
We will discuss:
- Mechanisms that we employ to engage new (and critically important) communities, with a particular focus on the biological and medical sciences
- Pragmatic approaches to architecting and integrating OpenStack for HPC
- Our experiences with developing HPC middleware that leverages the advantages offered by using a cloud model, and allows us to deploy HPC systems within hours
- Design approaches and specific tuning to bring a KVM based OpenStack up to scratch for mixed HPC
We will discuss our learnings, which include:

- Pragmatic approaches to architecting and integrating OpenStack for HPC
- Our experiences with developing HPC middleware that leverages the advantages offered by using a cloud model, and allows us to deploy HPC systems within hours
- Design approaches and specific tuning to bring a KVM based OpenStack up to scratch for general-purpose HPC
