Abstract
HPC systems used for research run a wide variety of software and workflows.
This software is often written or modified by users to meet the needs of their
research projects, and rarely is built with security in mind. In this paper we
explore several of the key techniques that MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Supercomputing Center has deployed on its systems to manage the security
implications of these workflows by providing enforced separation for processes,
filesystem access, network traffic, and accelerators to make every user feel
like they are running on a personal HPC.
