Abstract. With the right software infrastructure, clouds can provide scientists with "as a service" access to high-performance computing resources. An award-winning prototype framework transforms the Blue Gene/P system into an elastic cloud to run a representative HPC application. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/TidQezFUK0E is a video demonstrating an award-winning prototype framework that transforms the Blue Gene/P system into an elastic cloud to run a representative high-performance computing application.

Keywords. Software architecture, Cloud computing, High performance computing, Service oriented architecture,e nsemble applications, cloud computing, high-performance computing, HPC as a service
