“High performance computing is all about scale and speed. And when you’re backed by Google Cloud’s powerful and flexible infrastructure, you can solve problems faster, reduce queue times for large batch workloads, and relieve compute resource limitations. In this session, we’ll discuss why GCP is a great platform to run high-performance computing workloads. We’ll present best practices, architectural patterns, and how PSO can help your journey. We’ll conclude by demo’ing the deployment of an autoscaling batch system in GCP.”

Emma Haruka gave this talk at Google Next. “Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is ready for High Performance Computing (HPC) applications. Google Compute Engine (GCE) offers flexible network and virtual machine (VM) configuration options to run HPC workloads. This session explores why GCP is a good place to run HPC applications and save money. Topics will include CPU, GPU, and memory offerings, as well as underlying network architecture, preemptible VMs, and storage options. You will also learn how Google designs their cloud infrastructure and why it works for HPC workloads.”
