InfiniCloud is a geographically distributed, high performance InfiniBand HPC Cloud which aims to enable borderless processing of genomic data as the part of the InfiniCortex project. This paper provides a high-level technical overview of the architecture of InfiniCloud and how it can be used for high performance computation of genomic data in geographically distant sites by encapsulation of workflows/applications in Virtual Machines VM coupled with on-the-fly configuration of clusters and high speed transfer of data via long range InfiniBand.
