I would think there's likely to be some security implications with this that aren't acceptable at a lot of HPC centers (at least in the US)

- wmf 8y agoCan you be more specific? If previous LWK approaches were OK, what is different about this?
- asmadeus 8y agoI think the LWK concept itself is ok, but implementation-wise there need to be some auditing done. This is in a phase going from mostly being a research project to getting some attention and setup for production use on some HPC sites so I'm sure that'll get done in due time.
- gnufx 8y agoI doubt the number of possible privilege escalations would be much different from on your average compute node. There might actually be fewer if syscalls could be sanitized before reaching Linux.
