Terascale I/O Solutions

چکیده
PSC has architected and delivered the TCS-1 machine, a Terascale Computing System for use in unclassified research. PSC has enhanced the effective usability and utilization of this resource by providing custom I/O solutions in four key areas: high-performance communication, highperformance file migration, checkpoint/recovery and an updated hierarchical storage management system. These I/O solutions have a synergistic effect that is leveraged in their design, implementation and integration. Each successive enhancement builds on its predecessors, thereby exacting the highest performance (e.g. multi GB/sec file transfers) from the available hardware. This paper presents a technical overview of these solutions from design to integration to application.

Robust Machine Learning Applied to Terascale Astronomical Datasets
We present recent results from the LCDM collaboration between UIUC Astronomy and NCSA to deploy supercomputing cluster resources and machine learning algorithms for the mining of terascale astronomical datasets. This is a novel application in the field of astronomy, because we are using such resources for data mining, and not just performing simulations. Via a modified implementation of the NCS...
متن کاملTerascale direct numerical simulations of turbulent combustion using S3D
Computational science is paramount to the understanding of underlying processes in internal combustion engines of the future that will utilize non-petroleum-based alternative fuels, including carbon-neutral biofuels, and burn in new combustion regimes that will attain high efficiency while minimizing emissions of particulates and nitrogen oxides. Next-generation engines will likely operate at h...
متن کاملUnderstanding Light: Why we need a terascale photon collider
We do not understand light. I argue that a terascale photon collider is necessary to determine the structure of the photon at 100 GeV. Uncertainties in photon parton distribution functions lead to cross section predictions that vary by a factor of 5. This limits our ability to predict how well we can perform precision measurements, e.g., extracting the width of Higgs into two photons. These unc...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of an EV7 AlphaServer Machine
In this paper we detail the performance of a new Alphaserver machine consisting of 16 Alpha EV7 CPUs. This processor is based on the Alpha EV68 processor core as used in the existing Alphaserver ES45 that has been used to build terascale systems at Los Alamos and at Pittsburgh. The EV68 processor core is supplemented with an additional six-way router circuitry which enables a 2-D inter-processo...
متن کاملParallelization and Scalability of a Spectral Element Solver
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flows is widely recognized to demand fine spatial meshes, small timesteps, and very long run-times to properly resolve the flow field. To overcome these limitations, most DNS is performed on supercomputing machines. With the rapid development of terascale (and, eventually, petascale) computing on thousands of processors, it has become imperative to...
