Methods of Jobs Containerization for Supercomputer Workload Managers

详细

One of the key methods for increasing efficiency of computational resources usage is the use of containerization technology. In the process of high-performance computations, containerization makes it possible to solve the user jobs binary portability problem with minimum overhead. The article describes the choice of methods and tools for preparing a supercomputer job in the form of a Docker container with arbitrary user-defined content. The article presents the methods and recommendations for preparing of the image of container for a job, the issues of arising information security. The authors reviewed the methods and tools for dynamic reconfiguration of the networks in a supercomputer before start of a job.
