HPC using OpenStack
Forum

High-Performance Computing (HPC) proposes to design a Super Computer around the use of parallel processing to run advanced application programs efficiently, reliably and quickly. 

OpenStack is a set of software tools for building and managing cloud computing platforms for public and private clouds.

If you are looking for common deployment models for HPC & OpenStack, come and interact with our community and learn if other people are doing similar work and start a collaboration.

This session will be an opportunity for architects and operators pairing HPC with OpenStack to get together and discuss:

  • best practices and common deployment models 
  • pain points 
  • war stories 
  • wish lists

Specific discussion points would likely include:

  • SLURM integration 
  • Accelerators integration

Background: 
HPC is a particular field, and the Scientific SIG has a broader scope. As such we want to give our HPC ops a chance to come and discuss in a forum, how they can help one another and grow the HPC & OpenStack community.
