Title: Testing Docker Performance for HPC Applications,
Abstract: The main goal for this article is to compare performance penalties when using
KVM virtualization and Docker containers for creating isolated environments for
HPC applications. The article provides both data obtained using commonly
accepted synthetic tests (High Performance Linpack) and real life applications
(OpenFOAM). The article highlights the influence on resulting application
performance of major infrastructure configuration options: CPU type presented
to VM, networking connection type used.
