Abstract: <p>A comparison of two high performance computing clusters running on AWS and Sharcnet was done to determine which scenarios yield the best performance. Algorithm complexity ranged from O (n) to O (n3). Data sizes ranged from 195 KB to 2 GB. The Sharcnet hardware consisted of Intel E5-2683 and Intel E7-4850 processors with memory sizes ranging from 256 GB to 3072 GB. On AWS, C4.8xlarge… more Full Text: CLOUD VERSUS BARE METAL A comparison of a high performance computing cluster running in a commercial cloud and on a traditional hardware cluster using OpenMP and OpenMPI A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the …
