HPC is often used as a general term but it is actually many different facets
depending on the computing model.
CERN is at the centre of a server grid of 100,000s of servers called WLCG
(http://wlcg.web.cern.ch) for analyzing the data from the Large Hadron
Collider. The servers are located at o
Matt,
I agree with almost everything that you're saying, except to add that we hope
to change things. I hope that our work at ISI is moving in that direction.
But you're right, hypervisors add some overhead, network performance isn't
always great, etc. Things are changing, albeit slowly, but

Firstly, I'm just curious about their technology. I'm unable to make any
representative benchmark and that's why I was asking you about it. I'm just
a student during master thesis, interested in cloud computing, Openstack
etc. so I can't afford for such huge deployment :).
Secondly, I don't think
It's KVM on Redhat with a fairly custom guest kernel, including
optimized drivers for their network encapsulation. Auth is handled using
their existing OAuth2.0 infrastructure.
As Matt said, their offering is fairly different from EC2 (and
Openstack), competing more with compute-heavy provider
I for one am waiting on my invite to be processed; then I will be looking
at things like aeolus to run hybird cloud setups (I'll be contributing code
to that effect);
That said remember google open compute (as far as I am aware) is not open

I'd be interested in hearing any comparisons, but it seems like it just came
out so it might take a while...
Knowing how google is very secretive about there internal 'architecture' it
might be really hard to make any in-depth comparisons.

No, I think it's just that nobody has looked into it yet. Also, when you
say "their test app is 600,000 cores", I don't think you have any
providers of OpenStack that (yet) have an
Semy,
Google app engine and google compute engine are two different things.
App engine has been around for quite some time. The compute engine that
they offer as an IaaS solution is based off internal google software that
has also been in use internally for a lengthy amount of time.

Noone tested or noone is interested in Google Compute Engine and Openstack?
