The UberCloud HPC Experiment
An open & voluntary collaborative community
Objective:
Making HPC as a Service available, for everybody, on demand
How?
For SMEs and their engineering applications
to explore the end-to-end process
of using remote computing resources,
as a service, on demand, at their finger tips,
and learning how to resolve the roadblocks.
