A Security Architecture for High Performance Computing Facilities

Overview High Performance Computing facilities that use cluster computing to provide computational services to scientists and engineers have become widespread, with such facilities available at most major research universities worldwide, as well as in government and industrial research settings. Until recently HPC facilities have largely neglected security, or at the very least treated security as an afterthought in a world where performance is the number one priority. This paper presents a security architecture, and associated security best practices, for high performance computing facilities.
