Intel® Cluster Ready and UniCloud* simplify management of HPC clusters in public clouds
Creating Intel® Cluster Ready-compatible HPC clusters in a public cloud made easy
Audience and Purpose
For users evaluating benefits of using High-performance Computing
(HPC) applications and IT organizations that are looking to build their
own HPC facilities, Cloud Computing provides an easy way to quantify
Return-on-Investment in HPC infrastructure and software. This whitepaper
prepared by Intel® and Univa* provides a step-by-step guidance to setup
an HPC cluster in a public cloud using UniCloud*, an HPC Platform as a
Service product by Univa*, Intel® Cluster tools and Intel® Cluster
Checker. This paper includes detailed steps and screenshots and could
significantly help reduce the time required to build and operate an HPC
cluster1. By leveraging knowledge and expertise, Univa* and Intel®
created a product which provides a push-button management of an HPC
platform, thus allowing HPC users to concentrate on using an HPC
application and significantly reduce the time spent on cluster
configuration2.
