Which is why I'm curious about the applications they had in mind. I know that my workflow isn't typical for most people, so hopefully others have better uses in mind.
For me, I just submit adhoc jobs to SLURM and call it a day. Not everyone has access to an HPC cluster or is comfortable setting such a system up for a small, home cluster.
Anything (like this project) that makes HPC-like processing more accessible, I'm interested in.
- Overv 6y agoWhen I developed this I was very much thinking of using this to run one-off compute heavy tasks, e.g. compressing a video, running scientific computations or rendering something in Blender. You would just rent a VM for a few hours with the hardware you need, set it up in a few minutes, run your job there and delete it again.
