SUMMARY:Serverless Computing for Dynamic HPC Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Vijay Thurimella (Georgia Institute of Technology, Hewlett Pac
 kard Enterprise (HPE))\n\nContainers have become an important component fo
 r scientific workflows, enhancing reproducibility, portability, and isolat
 ion when coupled with workflow management systems. However, integrating co
 ntainers with these systems can be complex, potentially hindering wider ad
 option. Serverless platforms offer a solution by providing a layer of abst
 raction over container orchestrators, simplifying management while introdu
 cing event-driven capabilities.\nThis paper presents a novel integration o
 f serverless with workflow management systems to optimize scientific workf
 low execution. Our approach leverages serverless functions to dynamically 
 provision containers for workflow tasks, resulting in up to 30\% faster ex
 ecution. We found that performance can be further improved  by reusing con
 tainers between multiple different tasks that were provisioned by the serv
 erless platform. These findings demonstrate the utility of combining speci
 alized container orchestration with established workflow management to str
 eamline scientific computing, improve resource utilization, and accelerate
  time-to-results. Serverless' event-driven architecture enables efficient 
 resource scaling, aligning with the dynamic nature of scientific workloads
