Best practices

The following are the performance efficiency questions, best practices, and prescriptive guidance for high performance computing workloads.

Compute architecture

• HPCPERF01-BP01 Evaluate containers or serverless functions

• HPCPERF02-BP01 Select the best computing instance type for your workload by measuring application performance

• HPCPERF02-BP02 Default to virtualized over bare-metal instances

• HPCPERF03-BP01 Optimize your compute environment for your workload

Storage architecture

• HPCPERF04-BP01 Select the optimal HPC storage solution based on your targeted individual application

Network architecture

• HPCPERF05-BP01 Consider latency, bandwidth, and throughput requirements for HPC workloads
