Over the past years, the cloud, especially Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings, have seen a staggering rise in popularity due to the convenience and the economic pricing models. Even cloud service providers are starting to offer custom-sized HPC clusters as a service, with cloud-like pricing models. This can be of special interest to organizations who can not afford to acquire expensive HPC cluster hardware, or would require a different amount of computing power to meet computing demand for each project. From a user perspective, the cloud offers elastic and scalable computing power. Virtualization is a key ingredient to this advantage. However, HPC applications are often constrained by I/O, a problem which is made worse when running in a virtualized environment. In this work we present a flexible I/O virtualization solution, which is evaluated and compared to similar I/O forwarding technologies. Furthermore, we present a distributed I/O forwarding backend architecture which allows for complex, multi-host setups that can aim for different I/O strategies such as power proportionality and higher throughput. |
