To meet the unique needs of HPC workloads, Google Cloud offers several specific machine types, such as compute-optimized instances, which have fixed virtual-to-physical core mapping and OS-visible NUMA architecture, critical to many HPC workloads. We are focused on both the needs of today’s HPC workloads and on opening new horizons, via powerful Cloud capabilities, such as AI. Google Cloud hopes to address that and bring the power of HPC to everyone via a simple, compatible, and open Cloud. HPC’s impact in tackling the world’s most challenging problems is undeniable, yet it still remains available to relatively few. Why is HPC important to Google, and what is Google Cloud’s differentiation as a provider of HPC in the cloud? In the last few years, the tier one cloud providers have stepped up their adoption of HPC technologies (and talent!). And, of course, I spend a lot of time with customers, sharing our HPC vision and incorporating their feedback into our plans. I collaborate with our partnership teams, to forge and deepen partnerships within the HPC ecosystem. I also spend time bringing HPC user perspective and requirements into the broader Google Cloud product portfolio.
I work closely with our product and engineering teams to ensure we have the right roadmap to address existing and emerging HPC use cases.
I’ve of course only begun to scratch the surface, but I now feel better equipped to understand the key challenges HPC users face with cloud and the opportunity that Google Cloud has to better serve the HPC community.Īn important part of my role is to help drive Google Cloud’s HPC strategy and customer success, and I’m lucky to work with teams inside and beyond Google. Google is a unique company, and I wanted to take the time to get to know its diverse products, technologies, and people. Since joining, I’ve spent a fair amount of time simply discovering and learning. Please give a brief overview of your role and what you’ve been working on. Hi Bill, congratulations on being named a 2021 HPCwire Person to Watch! You joined Google last year to lead their HPC strategy. This interview was conducted by email at the beginning of April. Last Fall Bill Magro joined Google as CTO of HPC, a newly created position, after two decades at Intel, where he was responsible for the company’s HPC strategy.
