HPCasaService

HPCasaService is a cloud-based platform that provides on-demand access to high-performance computing resources for research, engineering, and data-intensive workloads. The service combines scalable compute capacity, parallel storage, and a verified software stack to support simulation, analytics, and AI workloads without the need for on-premises infrastructure.

Key features include flexible compute options, including CPU and GPU nodes; job orchestration through common workload managers and orchestration frameworks; containerized and module-based software environments; and access to shared storage and high-throughput networking. The platform supports container technologies such as Docker and Singularity and provides a catalog of scientific libraries, programming languages, and pre-built workflows. Security and governance are addressed through identity and access management, encryption in transit and at rest, and compliance with industry standards as applicable.

The architecture typically uses a multi-layer design with a user-facing API and portal, a scheduling and resource-management layer, and a compute and storage layer connected by high-speed networks. Users submit jobs, allocate resources, and retrieve results. The service emphasizes interoperability, allowing migration of workloads from or to other cloud environments and local HPC clusters through standard APIs and file formats.
