About the Session
Google Cloud offers a compelling platform for HPC traditionally conducted on-prem with many new capability additions and performance upgrades including Cluster Toolkit, high performance parallel file systems, RDMA, leading-edge processor and accelerator options, and more. Google’s leadership in AI enables offering world-class AI software and infrastructure, and Google offers extensive tools for collaborative code development, data analytics, and more. Google Cloud thus presents a comprehensive, integrated, massively scalable, persistently upgraded, always-available set of advanced computing technologies for research, industry, and higher education that is simple to access, learn, and use effectively and productively.
Join us for an overview of the Google Cloud’s capabilities and newest features for using advanced computing technologies easily, quickly, and at scale. This presentation will set the stage for many Google Cloud Advanced Computing Community sessions in 2025 that will dive more deeply into specific advanced computing technologies and the best practices for using them–including live demos and tutorials–across a wide range of applications.
