A Serverless, Cost-Effective Hybrid Cloud Solution for Executing HPC Programs through Web Application Interfaces

This paper presents a serverless, cost-effective hybrid cloud solution for deploying web applications that leverage High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources. The proposed architecture addresses the challenges faced by researchers in securely exposing software running on HPC clusters to the internet while minimizing costs. By integrating AWS services with an on-premises HPC cluster, the solution enables researchers to deploy interactive web applications that offload computationally intensive tasks to the HPC cluster. The implementation details, including the technology stack and workflow, are discussed, highlighting the benefits of this hybrid approach.
