Integrating Heterogeneous Hardware and Software Platforms towards the Edge-Cloud-HPC Continuum

We are witnessing a plethora of computing and storage resources with various characteristics and technologies that operate in the edge, in the cloud and in high performance computing environments. In parallel, there is a strong move towards the creation of new services in support of diverse applications that span across these environments that interoperate in the form of a continuum. In this work, we present the SERRANO platform for the creation of an Edge-Cloud-HPC continuum in support of highly demanding, dynamic and security-critical applications. We present the platform’s architecture, main components and interactions. We also describe the way the various resources are integrated under the platform and orchestrated.
