The present invention includes embodiments of systems and methods for facilitating users' selection of compute infrastructure options that satisfy predefined performance goals. The integrated, multi-provider cloud-based platform of the present invention employs abstraction layers for communicating with and integrating the resources of multiple back-end hardware providers, multiple software providers and multiple license servers. These abstraction layers and associated functionality free users not only from having to implement and configure provider-specific protocols, but also from having to address interdependencies among selected hardware, software and license servers on a job-level basis or at other levels of granularity.

The present invention includes embodiments of systems and methods for addressing the interdependencies that result from integrating the computing resources of multiple hardware and software providers. The integrated, multi-provider cloud-based platform of the present invention employs abstraction layers for communicating with and integrating the resources of multiple back-end hardware providers, multiple software providers and multiple license servers. These abstraction layers and associated functionality free users not only from having to implement and configure provider-specific protocols, but also from having to address interdependencies among selected hardware, software and license servers on a job-level basis or at other levels of granularity.

Integrated multi-provider compute platform

The present invention dynamically optimizes computing resources allocated to a simulation task while it is running. It satisfies application-imposed constraints and enables the simulation application performing the simulation task to resolve inter-instance (including inter-server) dependencies inherent in executing the simulation task in a parallel processing or other HPC environment. An intermediary server platform, between the user of the simulation task and the hardware providers on which the simulation task is executed, includes a cluster service that provisions computing resources on hardware provider platforms, an application service that configures the simulation application in accordance with application-imposed constraints, an application monitoring service that monitors execution of the simulation task for computing resource change indicators (including computing resource utilization and application-specific information extracted from output files generated by the simulation application) as well as restart files, and a computing resource evaluation engine that determines when a change in computing resources is warranted.
