Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cloud users cannot easily use clouds based on the price, the performance, and other factors. We have proposed a multi-cloud deployment method in which a customized development and execution environment for applications can be deployed across the HPC platforms, in a ``build once, run everywhere’' manner. To achieve the goal, This study proposes an interconnect-transparent migration mechanism to simultaneously migrate multiple co-located virtual machines between Clouds equipped with different interconnect devices such as Ethernet and InfiniBnad. The part of the proposed mechanism has been deployed on a private cloud platform on our recently introduced supercomputer system, the AIST Super Green Cloud (ASGC).
