Radio Free HPC Podcast: Is cloud too expensive for HPC?
Is cloud too expensive for HPC?Enquiring minds want to know, as does the HPC community whose single-minded obsession with maximum price-performance is notorious and legendary. The Radio Free team looks at actual cloud pricing based on available data and Dan's research which fuel a hearty discussion.They look at configurations, compare prices, talk about the costs that are not included, segment the market, and then segment the applications.Catch of the Week(https://radiofreehpc.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/RFHPC-catch2-300x201.png)(https://radiofreehpc.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/RFHPC-catch1.png)Henry:Henry highlights of the importance of having external 3rd party teams and defined processes (FIPS, Common Criteria, GDPR, etc.) test your equipment. This follows the detection of vulnerabilities in a data center class SSD. Nobody can disagree with that, of course.Shahin:Reflections on Trusting Trust, Turing Award Lecture by Ken Thompson (https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thompson.pdf)To what extent should one trust a statement that a program is free of Trojan horses? Perhaps it is more important to trust the people who wrote the software.[...]In college, before video games, we would amuse our- selves by posing programming exercises. One of the favorites was to write the shortest self-reproducing pro- gram. Since this is an exercise divorced from reality, the usual vehicle was FORTRAN. Actually, FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular.Listen in to hear the full conversation.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode237/RFHPC237_Cloud-HPC-Price-Performance.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)Sign up for our insideHPC Newsletter (http://insidehpc.com/newsletter)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/KaBSe28ahtY)
