Performance of CUDA Progrms on Cloud based Machines with Graphic Processor
High-end graphic processor significantly increases the price of a workstation. Hence, if you want to run extremely compute intensive application on a graphic processor, then cloud can be an option. Syncious selected a simple but compute intensive problem to evaluate the performance of cloud based machines having graphic processor unit (GPU). The selected problem is... Continue Reading →
Weather Forecast using Cloud Computing with SyncHPC
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) system is designed to simulate and predict the atmosphere with a computer model. Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) is a set of software applications used for this prediction. WRF is used extensively for research and real-time weather forecasting around the world. WRF application needs High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters connected using... Continue Reading →
Parallel File System (Lustre) on Public Cloud
This blog is about the basics of deploying and using a parallel file system on a public cloud. For this experiment, Lustre file system is selected on a public cloud Microsoft Azure. The easiest way to use Lustre in Azure is to deploy Intel Cloud Edition for Lustre on Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines. What is Lustre?... Continue Reading →
Considerations for HPC Deployment Models
HPC infrastructure deployment and its maintenance is a costly affair. Hence, many of the organizations are evaluating an option of offloading their HPC workloads to cloud. But, the decision to choose between two is always complex and CIOs need to work on various aspects. Many organizations select one of the three HPC deployment models: 100% On-premise HPC 100% Cloud based... Continue Reading →
Performance Analysis of Public Cloud HPC Clusters with OpenFOAM Solver
Syncious Team selected OpenFOAM as one of the applications to analyze Public Cloud based HPC Clusters. OpenFOAM (for "Open source Field Operation And Manipulation") is the free, open source software used to solve problems of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Computational intensive CFD problems can be solved by using HPC clusters. Team referred the blog by... Continue Reading →
Benchmarking of Microsoft Azure Cloud for A9 and H16R based HPC clusters
Syncious team executed Intel IMB benchmark tests on Microsoft Azure compute servers (VMs). We selected VMs of type A9 and H16R. VMs of type H16R performs much better than type A9. We got lower latency numbers and higher throughput with H16R as compared with A9 series. Both A9 and H16 VMs support RDMA capability. If... Continue Reading →
