Use of parallel processing and specialized hardware to solve complex computational problems requiring significant processing power.
High Performance Computing clusters help scientists simulate climate change effects by running millions of calculations simultaneously.
All four options help you deploy and run HPC workloads on cloud infrastructure. AWS ParallelCluster and Azure CycleCloud focus on creating and managing schedulers and clusters (often Slurm/PBS) on their clouds. Google Cloud Batch is a managed batch scheduler that runs large-scale parallel jobs on GCP compute. OCI HPC solutions are reference architectures and services optimized for tightly coupled HPC (including fast networking and bare metal) rather than a single “cluster manager” product.
