Abstract

With the huge increase in the use of cloud computing in several areas of research, new challenges for the high-performance computing community emerge. In this way, tools for automation of the entire workflow, including the deployment and execution of HPC applications on virtual machines and the retrieval of results from them are increasingly necessary. In this context, we propose CLAP (Cloud Application Platform), a tool designed to automate the creation of clusters in multiple computational clouds and the deployment of high-performance applications in them, in a simple, fast and efficient way, using current state-of-the-art technologies.

Keywords: HPC, Automation Tools, Reproducibility
