Software and architecture
| HPCSUS02: Have you complemented your architecture with a remote desktop solution? |
|---|
By enabling remote visualization of simulation results, rather than transferring and storing large datasets locally, organizations can minimize network traffic, optimize resource usage, and improve overall sustainability of their HPC operations.
HPCSUS02-BP01 Use a VDI solution to reduce data movement
In SUS03-BP05 Use software patterns and architectures that best support data access and storage patterns, you understand how data is used within your workload, consumed by your users, transferred, and stored. For HPC workloads, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technologies help you reduce network traffic between the end-users' clients rather than transferring the entire data set and duplicating storage on-premises. In addition, optimizing data movement across the network reduces the total networking resources required for the workload and lowers its environmental impact.
Implementation guidance
Use a remote visualization technology, such as Amazon DCV or Amazon AppStream 2.0, to visualize the results of your simulations without the need of copying back the results.
