“…Much has been said about HPC in the cloud [18], and numerous studies have been conducted across both industry, academic, and government HPC facilities [10,9,23,14]. Notable among these are the Magellan Project [6,15,22] a DOE funded study from Lawrence Berekeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the NASA evaluation of commercial clouds for HPC applications [3], and an ongoing multi-year evaluation by the Department of Defense's HPC Modernization Program (DOD-HPCMP) [1].…”

Cloud platforms offer a variety of benefits that are very appealing for a large scale HPC facility with a diverse and dynamic user base and workload set. At the same time, there is cause for concern about transitioning to the cloud. Incorporating cloud resources into existing HPC facilities or even fully transitioning to a cloud deployment poses significant challenges at the technical, organizational, and economic levels. Regardless, based on current trends it is highly likely that cloud platforms will become an integral component of many HPC centers in some form. To gain a better understanding of both the limitations and capabilities of current cloud infrastructures we evaluated the public offerings of the three leading cloud platforms (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform) using a selection of representative application workloads from our facility. Our findings show that while current HPC offerings are still nascent, significant progress is being made to address the present shortcomings. At the same time, significant challenges and questions remain about whether HPC cloud offerings will be able to deliver the full range of expected benefits.
