Title:
Virtual HPC Cluster Provisioning in the Cloud
Summary:
This project will remedy three fundamental software deficiencies in current "cloud computing" environments that otherwise limit their ability to serve the high-performance computing (HPC) community. As a result, users will be able to provision and use virtual clusters "in the cloud" in a convenient, affordable, pay-as-you-go fashion.
