DescriptionExascale computing initiatives are expected to enable breakthroughs for multiple scientific disciplines. Increasingly these systems may utilize cloud technologies, enabling complex and distributed workflows that can improve not only scientific productivity, but accessibility of resources to a wide range of communities. Such an integrated and seamlessly orchestrated system for supercomputing and cloud technologies is indispensable for experimental facilities that have been experiencing unprecedented data growth rates. While a subset of high performance computing (HPC) services have been available within a public cloud environments, petascale and beyond data and computing capabilities are largely provisioned within HPC data centres using traditional, bare-metal provisioning services to ensure performance, scaling and cost efficiencies. At the same time, on-demand and interactive provisioning of services that are commonplace in cloud environments, remain elusive for leading supercomputing ecosystems.
This workshop aims at bringing together a group of experts and practitioners from academia, national laboratories, and industry to discuss technologies, use cases and best practices in order to set a vision and direction for leveraging high performance, extreme-scale computing and on-demand cloud ecosystems. Topics of interest include tools and technologies enabling scientists for adopting scientific applications to cloud interfaces, interoperability of HPC and cloud resource management and scheduling systems, cloud and HPC storage convergence to allow a high degree of flexibility for users and community platform developers, continuous integration/deployment approaches, reproducibility of scientific workflows in distributed environment, and best practices for enabling X-as-a-Service model at scale while maintaining a range of security constraints.
