<title>Compute focused</title>
<para>Compute-focused clouds are a specialized subset of the general purpose
OpenStack cloud architecture. A compute-focused cloud specifically supports
compute intensive workloads.</para>
<note>
<para>Compute intensive workloads may be CPU intensive, RAM intensive,
or both; they are not typically storage or network intensive.</para>
</note>
<para>Compute-focused workloads may include the following use cases:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>High performance computing (HPC)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Big data analytics using Hadoop or other distributed data
stores</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Signal processing for network function virtualization (NFV)</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<note>
<para>A compute-focused OpenStack cloud does not typically use raw block storage
services as it does not host applications that require
persistent block storage.</para>
