A Case Study of High Performance of Computing Clusters in Cloud Computing

A high performance application requires high processing power to compute highly intensive and complex applications for research, engineering, medical and academic projects. In the traditional way, an organization will have to pay very high costs to run an HPC (High Performance computing) application. The organization has to purchase highly expensive hardware for running an HPC application and maintaining it afterwards. The HPC resources on the company premises may not satisfy all the demands of scientific application where resources may not suitable for corresponding requirements. Considering the case of SMEs (small and medium enterprises), an increasing demand is always challenging. Cloud computing is an on-demand, pay-as-you-go- model, that offers scalable computing resources, unlimited storage in an instantly available way.
