E-HPC INSTANT is a serverless and intelligent batch processing service, built on the massive computing resources. It is designed for high-throughput, loosely coupled workloads, such as those in digital media, life sciences, and data processing. E-HPC INSTANT runs thousands of computing jobs concurrently while optimizing performance and cost.
Why choose E-HPC Instant
Benefits
Massive concurrency
Supports concurrency of up to millions of vCores, automatically handles data distribution and computing scheduling.
Elastic and pay-as-you-go
Provides a fully managed (serverless) computing environment. Resources are scheduled based on job. Charge based on usage.
Cost-effective
Delivers unified and abstracted computing power for offline jobs.
Differences between E-HPC INSTANT and E-HPC NEXT
Item | E-HPC INSTANT computing service | E-HPC NEXT cluster |
Cluster management | Serverless. No need to create or manage clusters. | Require creating and managing HPC clusters on demand. |
Job scheduling | Cloud-native and intelligent batch processing scheduling. | Provides common HPC schedulers, such as SLURM and PBS. |
Computing resources | Specifies unified computing power for CPU, memory (MEM), and disk. | Specifies ECS instances |
Service Monitoring | Built-in observability metrics | |
Billing model | Fees for unified job computing power resources (CPU, MEM, and DISK) and NAS, OSS, and EIPs. | Fees for resources used by the cluster, such as ECS, NAS, and EIPs. |
Service architecture
