[Sle-hpc] Microservices and HPC

[Nicolas Bock]

I started doing some literature search on this and so far came up 
with a master thesis that looked at a microservice design of a 
parameter sweep of a reaction-diffusion simulation [1]. The 
parallel efficiency is okish I would say, but definitely 
encouraging. The study is pretty simple and more a proof of 
concept than a fully developed application. So far I haven't come 
up with anything else that uses microservices for a scientific 
application.

I'll keep digging...

E.g. can you break down genetic sequencing, CFD, etc into bite sized chunks where microservices may enable a more flexible plug and play type environment?  The end result being an IFTTT process for building HPC workflows?
