Understanding Failures in Petascale Computers
With petascale computers only a year or two away there is a pressing need to anticipate and compensate for a probable increase in failure and application interruption rates. Researchers, designers and integrators have available to them far too little detailed information on the failures and interruptions that even smaller terascale computers experience. The information that is available suggest...
متن کاملSpiking network simulation code for petascale computers
Brain-scale networks exhibit a breathtaking heterogeneity in the dynamical properties and parameters of their constituents. At cellular resolution, the entities of theory are neurons and synapses and over the past decade researchers have learned to manage the heterogeneity of neurons and synapses with efficient data structures. Already early parallel simulation codes stored synapses in a distri...
متن کاملSubgrid-scale model tests using petascale computers
Large-eddy simulation (LES) has become an effective research tool for the atmospheric bound¬ary layer (ABL) and probably the most in the atmospheric surface layer LES suffers from inherent underresolution and poor subgrid-scale (SGS) model performance. To develop improved SGS models a methodology for testing model perfor¬mance is needed. Previous tests rely on comparing the modeled and measured...
متن کاملTowards Adaptive Mesh PDE Simulations on Petascale Computers
The advent of the age of petascale computing brings unprecedented opportunities for breakthroughs in scientific understanding and engineering innovation. However, the raw performance made available by petascale systems is by itself not sufficient to solve many challenging modeling and simulation problems. For example, the complexity of solving evolutionary partial differential equations scales ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Cascading Failures in Power Grids
In the past, we have observed several large blackouts, i.e. loss of power to large areas. It has been noted by several researchers that these large blackouts are a result of a cascade of failures of various components. As a power grid is made up of several thousands or even millions of components (relays, breakers, transformers, etc.), it is quite plausible that a few of these components do not...
