Invitation to Qualify for the HPC Weather Cloud Challenge Demonstration

The Government of Canada has continually integrated cloud based services into their everyday work, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is exploring existing options to engage and test the feasibility of cloud based solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC) environment for weather.In order to evaluate the utility of HPC Weather cloud resources in an HPC environment for ECCC, ECCC would like to give the opportunity to qualified Respondents to demonstrate (1) the capability of their cloud based HPC environment and (2) how ECCC’s R&D workflow could be efficiently migrated/adapted to the cloud paradigm, via a 90-180 minute (subject to change) information exchange session with a technical representative from the Respondent’s organization to explore options on how to best proceed given that this is a new paradigm for ECCC.
