Internet2 leadership and staff will join researchers, scientists and engineers across the HPC community in Denver for SC19 starting November 17. Look for us in Booth #1281!

After addressing the 5 Things to Consider When Deploying High Performance Computing (HPC) to the Cloud, it may be helpful to consider cost and benefits of running HPC workloads in the cloud versus running them on premise. This post will discuss costs for an on prem data center in the Southeast, and instances running in NET+ Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NET+ Google Cloud Platform (GCP), currently in NET+ Service Validation. This is the second of two posts on the HPC in the Cloud BoF from Internet2 Global Summit.

In case you were unable to attend Internet2 Global Summit, or were not able to find a seat in our standing-room-only room, this post expands upon the discussion during the HPC in the Cloud BoF session. This will be the first of two posts on this topic.

The Advanced Research Computing on Campuses (ARCC) workshop is co-locating at PEARC17 this July in New Orleans with the aim to begin the process of more broadly integrating with the on-going PEARC annual conference. To minimize disruption and overlap with the standard program, the ARCC at PEARC will involve a full-day tutorial on Monday July 10, 2017 and then a single parallel session alongside the four other parallel sessions in the technical program on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 11-12, 2017 with shared plenaries, breaks, meals and other activities.
