HPC Still Looks Past Security, But New Guidelines And Tools Push It Ahead
HPCWire, Monday, August 5th, 2024
A U.S. government working group has published final guidelines on implementing security in high-performance computers. To support that, government labs and research labs detailing tools and guidelines to implement security in HPC hardware and workflows.
Some projects, including breaking down processing into isolated slabs and centralized security management, were shared at the High-Performance Computing Workshop held at Wichita State University earlier this year.
The NSF and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) are leading efforts to create a robust cybersecurity infrastructure around scientific computing. The efforts rely on delivering system stability and creating a robust and trustworthy environment for scientific computing. The workshop was funded by the National Science Foundation.
