Minisymposium Presentation

We will present and discuss the design considerations for meeting HPC applications’ requirements on performance and adaptivity in cloud-native containerized environments. As an example of emerging workflows for cloud computing, a case study of transforming a moleculedocking workflow used in drug discovery into cloud-native Apache Airflow on a Kubernetes clusterwill be presented. To accommodate the increasing dynamic natures in HPC applications, we will also present work atop K8s’s autoscaler to enable elastic executions of HPC applications and specifically tackle the challenge of adapting tightly coupled MPI applications into cloud environment. Finally, an outlook on the need for reactive system services for interference mitigation will be presented.
