High-Performance Computing ECSs

Overview

Each vCPU of a high-performance computing ECS corresponds to the hyper thread of an Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor core. High-performance computing ECSs provide resources and high-performance infrastructure services for high-performance computing and massive storage.

Hyper-threading is enabled for this type of ECSs by default. Each vCPU is a thread of a CPU core.

Available now: H3 and Hc2

High-Performance Computing H3

Overview

H3 ECSs use high-performance Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. Each vCPU corresponds to the hyper thread of an Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor core, providing stable computing capabilities. H3 ECSs are suitable for high-performance computing. In addition, such ECSs use the latest-generation network acceleration engines and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) rapid packet processing mechanism to provide high network performance.

Scenarios

  • Computing and storage systems for genetic engineering, games, animations, and biopharmaceuticals
  • Public rendering platforms for renderfarms and animation and film bases; other rendering platforms for movies and videos
  • High-performance frontend clusters, web servers, high-performance science and engineering applications, advertisements, video coding, and distributed analysis
  • Batch-processed workload, HPC applications, and SAP applications
  • Computing-intensive services, such as large-scale multiplayer online (MMO) gaming

High-Performance Computing Hc2

Overview

The vCPU/memory ratio of an Hc2 ECS is 1:2 or 1:4. Each vCPU corresponds to the hyperthreading of an Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor core. Hc2 ECSs can be used for high-performance computing services. They provide a large number of parallel computing resources and high-performance infrastructure services to meet the requirements of high-performance computing and massive storage and ensure rendering efficiency.

Scenarios

  • Computing and storage systems for genetic engineering, games, animations, and biopharmaceuticals
  • Public rendering platforms for renderfarms and animation and film bases; other rendering platforms for movies and videos
  • High-performance frontend clusters, web servers, high-performance science and engineering applications, advertisements, video coding, and distributed analysis
  • Batch-processed workload, HPC applications, and SAP applications
  • Computing-intensive services, such as large-scale multiplayer online (MMO) gaming
