The hybrid HPC architecture uses some of the building blocks that are used for a cloud-native HPC architecture, which are complemented by the on-premises part. The following Azure resources will be used in this scenario:
- HPC head node: The head node runs on your on-premises environment. It can be installed on a VM in Azure as well or on a Windows or Linux server VM, and just like the cloud-native architecture, you can install Azure HPC Pack on it and it will become the head node automatically.
- HPC compute nodes: The HPC compute nodes in your on-premises environment can be Linux or Windows servers with sufficient compute power. The VMs in Azure are created using A8 and A9 instances and provide RDMA networking.
- Virtual ...
