Scalability and communication performance of HPC on Azure Cloud
Different domains of research are moving to cloud computing whether to carry out compute intensive experiments or to store large datasets. Cloud computing services allow the users to focus on the application, without being concerned about the physical resources. HPC system on the cloud is desired fo...

Different domains of research are moving to cloud computing whether to carry out compute intensive experiments or to store large datasets.

HPC system on the cloud is desired for their high needs of efficient CPU computations. Our objective was to evaluate the scalability and performance of High Performance Cloud Computing on Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure by using well known Benchmarks, namely, IMB point-to-point communication and NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB).
