I recently read an article in networkworld.com related to this topic.
The companies offer such solution is
IBM
AWS Amazon
Microsoft Azure
There is Google cloud. Does it offer similar solutions. Let us see later.
Almost all computational chemistry calculations and condensed matter theory calculations using density functional theory and other ab-initio and Monte-Carlo techniques use high performance computing (HPC) for computing. They are normally called as workstation, cluster, high performance computing, super computer, etc. These are used whenever time consuming calculations are need to be done as well as where there is a need for large memory. Large memory is needed for ab-initio calculations for storing the results such as the wave functions.
I wonder, is there any solutions where I can compile my code or commercial code or free code available on the internet such as Quantum Espresso in the cloud provides (see above in the list) and run these codes in the clouds?
My questions are:
How to use these clouds?
How much does it cost?
What is the comparison with HPC and Cloud computing?
I will post how I started using cloud computing for my high performance calculations.
