HTC-Grid

The high throughput compute grid project (HTC-Grid) is a container based cloud native HPC/Grid environment. The project provides a reference architecture that can be used to build and adapt a modern High throughput compute solution using underlying AWS services, allowing users to submit high volumes of short and long running tasks and scaling environments dynamically.

When should I use HTC-Grid?

HTC-Grid should be used when the following criteria are meet:

  • high task throughput is required (from 250 to 10,000+ tasks per second).
  • The tasks are loosely coupled.
  • Variable workloads (tasks with heterogeneous execution times) are expected and the solution needs to dynamically scale with the load.

When should I not use the HTC-Grid?

HTC-Grid might not be the best choice if:
