What High-Performance Computing Security: Architecture, Threat Analysis, and Security Posture requires
This NIST Special Publication aims to standardize and facilitate the sharing of High-Performance Computing (HPC) security information and knowledge through the development of an HPC system reference architecture and key components, which are introduced as the basics of the HPC system lexicon. The reference architecture divides an HPC system into four function zones: a high-performance computing zone, a data storage zone, an access zone, and a management zone. This publication analyzes HPC threats, considers current HPC security postures and challenges, and makes best-practice recommendations. This guideline may be used by federal agencies and is consistent with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130. It has been developed by NIST in accordance with its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) of 2014. This publication may also be used by nongovernmental organizations on a voluntary basis. The core obligations focus on understanding the unique architecture of HPC systems, identifying threats specific to its functional zones, and implementing tailored security controls that balance performance with security, such as network segmentation, compute node sanitization, data integrity protection, and secure container management.
