SUMMARY:Rapid Re-Purposing: How the Foresight to Replicate Their HPC Clust
 er in the Cloud Fueled the University of Liverpool’s COVID-19 Research
DESCRIPTION:State of the Practice Talk\n\nRapid Re-Purposing: How the Fore
 sight to Replicate Their HPC Cluster in the Cloud Fueled the University of
  Liverpool’s COVID-19 Research\n\nZheng, Bridge, Meng, Addison, Wang...\n\
 nThe Advanced Research Computing team at the University of Liverpool creat
 ed a mission-critical cloud replica of their on-premises HPC cluster, name
 d Cloud Barkla, to function as a rapid-deployment service in October, 2019
 .  Originally deployed to assist the relocation of their on-premises clust
 er, the team had the foresight to build a cloud cluster that could be repu
 rposed at speed, and the need for it came sooner than expected.  Dr. Yalin
  Zheng and his team utilized this capability to launch their AI-based medi
 cal image analysis research for accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 on Cloud Ba
 rkla in record time to allow lead researchers Joshua Bridge and Yanda Meng
  to run scaling tests on their developed toolset in order to bring their c
 oncepts to peer review.  This talk covers the rapid deployment of an HPC c
 luster fit for Dr. Zheng’s AI requirements, demonstrating how cloud offers
  flexibility within a complete HPC services offering.\n\nTag: Best Practic
 es, Cloud and Distributed Computing\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program
