Using Docker for Containerization in High Performance Computing Applications

Virtualization technology plays a vital role in cloud computing. In particular, benefits of virtualization are widely employed in high performance computing HPC applications. Containers have a long and storied history in computing. Unlike hypervisor virtualization, where one or more independent machines run virtually on physical hardware via an intermediation layer, containers instead run user space on top of an operating systems kernel. As a result, container virtualization is often called operating system level virtualization. Container technology allows multiple isolated user space instances to be run on a single host. In this paper we explain how to deploy high performance applications using docker. Pradeep Murugan | Suraj Subramanian | V. Pandarinathan | Dr. D.
