The Scientific Working Group has updated the Crossroads of Cloud and HPC: OpenStack for Scientific Research. Version 2 of the popular book details multiple enhancements made to OpenStack for HPC workloads over the past year and added several new in-depth case studies on how OpenStack supports radio astronomy, bioinformatics, cancer and genome research and more.
