High-performance computing (HPC) applications require high-end computing systems, but not all scientists have access to such powerful systems. Cloud computing provides an opportunity to run these applications on the cloud without the requirement of investing in high-end parallel computing systems. We can analyze the performance of the HPC applications on private as well as public clouds. The performance of the workload on the cloud can be calculated using different benchmarking tools such as NAS parallel benchmarking and Rally. The workloads of HPC applications require use of many parallel computing systems to be run on a physical setup, but this facility is available on cloud computing environment without the need of investing in physical machines. We aim to analyze the ability of the cloud to perform well when running HPC workloads. We shall get the detailed performance of the cloud when running these applications on a private cloud and find the pros and cons of running HPC workloads on cloud environment.
