Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) are coming to HPC. Already employed in some services-oriented infrastructures, for example, Argonne Scholar Ryan Chard and collaborators are pioneering their introduction into HPC. From use of Singularity and Globus, this is an HPC-centric introduction indeed.
In this video from Singularity User Group, Ryan Chard from Globus at Argonne National Lab discusses "FuncX: A Function Serving Platform for HPC":
In this video from the Singularity User Group, Rick Wagner from Globus presents: Managing large-scale cosmology simulations with Parsl and Singularity.
Ian Foster, director of Argonne’s Data Science and Learning division at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and an Argonne Distinguished Fellow, has received the 2019 IEEE Computer Society Charles Babbage Award. The award recognizes Foster’s “outstanding contributions in the areas of parallel computing languages, algorithms, and technologies for scalable distributed applications.”
