Design principles
In addition to the design principles outlined in the Reliability Pillar whitepaper, the following pertains specifically to HPC architectures:
-
Assess performance tradeoffs with cost and availability requirements: In high performance computing applications, performance is key. Whether high performance means executing at sub-microsecond latencies or processing at high throughput, when designing your architecture these requirements will need to be balanced with cost, availability, and disaster recovery considerations.
