Converged Computing: A Best of Both Worlds of High-Performance Computing and Cloud

Journal Article · · Computing in Science and Engineering
Collaboration between Cloud and High Performance Computing (HPC) communities has accelerated in the last half decade. A common goal to run batch workloads combined with a desire for reproducibility, automation, and optimization has led to successful projects that range from container technologies to workload management and security. This span of current and future work defines a novel “Converged Computing” paradigm that aims to combine the best of both worlds, both from a technological and cultural standpoint. Furthermore, in this Special Issue, we review common themes in the space, showcasing current work and encouraging a continued effort toward innovative ideas that will enable the next generations of scientific discovery.
