Comparison of Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services for High-Performance Computing

This study investigates computing-optimized instances from Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Each platform is rigorously evaluated using established high-performance computing (HPC) benchmarks, including HPCC and HPCG, to assess their computational efficiency comprehensively. These benchmarks aim to demonstrate that the optimal cloud solution is application-specific, varying based on workload characteristics. This study offers insights into optimizing cloud resource allocation and management strategies through a comprehensive analysis. The findings are expected to guide organizations in achieving optimal high-performance computing configurations within cloud environments for more efficient computational resources and big data analytics.
