Design and implementation of multi-tenant oriented lightweight virtual HPC cluster based on supercomputing environment

Abstract

In order to deliver on-demand HPC services for multi-tenants and solve software dependency problems which rigidly restrict the usage of HPC applications.On the premise of not destroying the existing large scale high performance cluster management,a lightweight HPC cluster delivery model was designed and implement with the Fat-Tree network topology and the virtual HPC cluster model.So as to supply a cloud based HPC rental service for the high performance applications of the multi-tenants and solve the rigid dependable problem of HPC application software stack for more HPC tenants in an easy way,the experimental results show that the proposed method is similar to the performance of the physical nodes,so that the HPC has the on-demand characteristics of the cloud and has a better embedding efficiency.
