Public grids (WLCG, OSG, XSEDE2) provide huge computing resources to scientific users all around the world, those services are continuously and constantly evolving for the last 20 years. In the mean while, recently public clouds show great interest in HPC besides its traditional IaaS/PaaS/SaaS market. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Ali all have their own HPC cloud solutions. As...

While accelerated computing instances providing access to NVIDIA GPUs are already available since a couple of years in commercial public clouds like Amazon EC2, the EGI Federated Cloud has put in production its first OpenStack-based site providing GPU-equipped instances at the end of 2015. However, many EGI sites which are providing GPUs or MIC co-processors to enable high performance...

As data volumes grow rapidly in the science domain, the ability to process this data efficiently is becoming increasingly of interest. While in many applications the processing of very large volumes can be accomplished efficiently with map/reduce algorithms (e.g., using frameworks such as Hadoop), this does not cover a large class of problems which are best run in an HPC environment. This...
