Cooperative Checkpointing for Supercomputing Systems

A system-level checkpointing mechanism, with global knowledge of the state and health of the machine, can improve performance and reliability by dynamically deciding when to skip checkpoint requests made by applications. This thesis presents such a technique, called cooperative checkpointing, and models its behavior as an online algorithm. Where C is the checkpoint overhead and I is the request...

Supercomputing for Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Handling Multi-Trillion Particles in Nanofluidics

Interactive supercomputing

MITMatlab is a system that provides users of high performance computers with an interactive, easy-to-use environment for solving their scientific and engineering problems. It is an effort to bridge the gap between scientific computing in the desktop and supercomputer worlds by providing users of parallel machines with a tool for manipulating and visualising large datasets. We believe that the m...

Enabling Technologies for Web-Based Ubiquitious Supercomputing

We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate low-and mid-range computing systems, advanced networks, and remote high-end computers with the goal of enhancing the computational power accessible from local environments. Such systems promise to enable new applications in areas as diverse as smart instruments and collaborative environments. However, they also demand ...

4D geomechanical simulations for field development planning

3D and 4D geomechanical can be time-consuming to build and calibrate. However, once such a model is built, it is relative straightforward to use this model for various field development and management applications. In so doing, the return on the initial investment of time and effort in the creation of a 4D geomechanical model can be substantial. I present a case study where a 4D geomechanical m...
