Compute Cycles - Creating A 2048-Core HPC Cluster in Minutes on AWS for a $525 job
« Benchmarks for the brand new Cluster GPU Instance on Amazon EC2 | Main December 15, 2010 Creating A 2048-Core HPC Cluster in Minutes on AWS for a $525 job World, meet Okami. Okami, meet World We do a lot of work, at very large scales, on HPC work in the cloud, and today we’d like to introduce you to a decent sized HPC Cluster we recently worked on: let’s call it ‘Okami’. Okami has a number of components familiar to those who have worked with internal HPC environments: 2048 cores, shared storage, and a scheduling system. Had Okami been born in 2005 rather than 2010, he’d be in the Top 20 largest computers at that time. But the similarities between Okami and internal clusters end there. First, Okami was provisioned, from start to finish, by CycleCloud in under 30 minutes! And more importantly: when calculations were done, the nodes were shut down, and the user paid only $525 to access this 2048 core cluster! As...
