FORTH presents at the 7th International CANOPIE-HPC workshop

FORTH recently participated in the 7th International Workshop on Containers and New Orchestration Paradigms for Isolated Environments in HPC (CANOPIE-HPC), held as part of SC25. Antony Chazapis (FORTH) presented the paper, “Evaluating HPK for Running Cloud-Native Workloads on Slurm Clusters,” co-authored with Lefteris Vassilakis (FORTH), Giannis Petsis (FORTH; University of Crete), Manolis Marazakis (FORTH), and Angelos Bilas (FORTH; University of Crete).

Abstract: The escalating complexity of applications and services encourages a shift towards higher-level data processing pipelines that integrate both Cloud-native and HPC steps into the same workflow. Cloud providers and HPC centers typically provide both execution platforms on separate resources. In this paper, we explore a more practical design that enables running unmodified Cloud-native workloads directly on the main HPC cluster, avoiding resource partitioning and retaining the HPC center’s existing job management and accounting policies.
