In an ideal platform cloud, you would not know or care what the underlying hardware was and how it was composed to run your HPC – and now AI – applications. The underlying hardware in a cloud would have a mix of different kinds of compute and storage, an all-to-all network lashing it together, and whatever you needed could be composed on the fly. This is precisely the kind of compute cloud that Google wanted to build back in April 2008 with App Engine and, as it turns out, that very… Source link

Enterprises and research organizations alike are eager to adopt cloud computing to expand computing capacity and access the latest technologies. But too often, setting up robust HPC environments in the cloud has meant wrangling with unfamiliar concepts and tools, resulting in slow deployments, software incompatibilities, and subpar performance. Now, Intel and Google have teamed up to make cloud-based HPC familiar, compatible, and performant. Building on Google’s HPC VM image and the… Source link
