Is the Cloud the (inevitable) future of HPC? Urban legends and realities
Chaired by Gilles Tourpe, Business Development Manager HPC, AWS and Xavier Vigouroux, Head of business development, CGG
Migration of an HPC Platform to the Cloud: Successes, Challenges, Implications, and Perspectives
By Thierry Porcher, CTO, DoItNow
Three years ago, Do IT Now migrated a strategic statistical computing platform to the cloud. This complex project required a year of preparation, installation, and validation. Now, it's possible to assess the success of this migration, two years after its implementation.
We will demonstrate how the cloud facilitated the evolution of the platform to address new functional and operational needs. The impact of AI on both business activities and IT perspectives will also be discussed.
