A Cost-Effective Approach of Building Multi-tenant Oriented Lightweight Virtual HPC Cluster

HPC are considered as increasingly importance but only a small set of large enterprises or governments have the capability to use this high performance approach. In order to deliver HPC service and solve software dependency problems which rigidly restrict the usage of HPC applications. Based on Fat-Tree network topology and the virtual HPC cluster model, this paper provides a cloud of HPC delivery model and solves the dependency of HPC application software stack without destroying the initial HPC environments. Extensive experiments are conducted and the results validate the feasibility and the efficiency of our approach.
