HIGH PERFORMANCE
COMPUTING
From Clouds and Big Data to Exascale and Beyond
An International Advanced Workshop
Cetraro –
Main Aim
Sustained progress in computational hardware and software technologies, ranging
from hybrid CPU/GPU systems, multicore architectures,
increased density, and virtualization, to relatively new paradigms such as
commercial cloud computing, have brought the tools and techniques of High
Performance Computing (HPC) into broad acceptance in wide areas of research and
industry. At the same time, the extremely fast pace of the field introduces new
challenges in technological, intellectual, and even political areas which must
be addressed to continue to enable wider acceptance, implementation, and
ultimately societal impact of high performance computing technologies and
paradigms.
The main aim of this workshop is to present and debate advanced topics,
open questions, future developments, and challenging applications related to
advanced high-performance distributed computing and data systems, encompassing
implementations ranging from traditional clusters to warehouse-scale data
centers, and with architectures including hybrid, multicore,
distributed, and cloud models.
Emerging computing paradigms and concepts such as “big data,” along with
the drive toward exascale computing,
introduce new opportunities but also technical challenges in resilience and
fault tolerance, fully harnessing multi-core/many-core and hybrid systems,
balancing I/O, and indeed the entire application programming and runtime
environment including middleware, tools, libraries, and applications. Simply
scaling today’s technologies to exascale is
infeasible from the standpoint of power demand, thus there are engineering challenges
related to power efficiency that suggest the need to look beyond traditional
silicon-based building block to consider entirely new substrates such as
quantum, biological, or carbon-nanotube designs.
Equally important are areas related to efficient use of hundreds of
thousands (or millions) of processing units, introducing challenges with
respect to resource scheduling and workload management. Over the past several
decades schedulers have been designed in such a way to solely optimize packing of
jobs as a means to improve scheduling metrics. However, these mechanisms have
not heretofore contemplated new optimization objectives such as power
management (e.g. scheduling based on power demands of algorithms in context of
dynamic energy costs).
The importance of Cloud Computing in HPC is emphasized. We are seeing
more and more government funded cloud testbeds and
projects like DOE’s Magellan or the US
government’s Cloud-First policy, the SARA Research Cloud, the Japanese Kasumigaseki Cloud, and many EU funded Cloud projects.
Commercial cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services, Bull extreme
factory, Fujitsu TC Cloud,Gompute, Microsoft
Azure, Nimbix, Nimbula,
Penguin on Demand, and many more are now offering HPC-focused infrastructure,
platform, and application services. Indeed it appears that Amazon Web Services
is nearing the $1B mark, having become the underlying IT provider for a new
generation of startups. On the other hand, it is
still not well understood which kinds of applications are suitable for and
benefit from HPC clouds. For example, careful application benchmarking of
different cloud infrastructures have to be performed and compared with runs on
physical machines.
Further, though industry providers build redundancy and fault-tolerance
into their systems, there are nonetheless large-scale failures and thus
application and service providers must begin to consider a multi-source
strategy, raising issues of cloud service interoperation and standard APIs.
Strongly related to the topic of clouds is Green IT, because clouds are
making computing also more energy-efficient. By storing and running processes
on the cloud, applications can share the resources sitting on a wide network of
servers, which can keep them from going idle and wasting the energy used to
power them. IT consulting firm Accenture estimates that companies could cut
energy consumption and carbon emissions by 30 percent by switching over the
cloud.
Finally, many of the most widely used application codes have undergone
many generations of adaptation as new architectures have emerged, from vector
to MPP to cluster to cloud, and more recently tomulticore and
hybrid. As exascale systems move toward
millions of processing units the interplay between system and user software,
compilers and middlware, even programmer and
run-time environment must be reconsidered. How much resilience and
fault-tolerance can, or should, be embedded transparently in the system versus
exposed to the programmer?
Summarizing, the aim of this special workshop is to shed some light on
key topics in advanced high performance computing systems and, in particular,
to address the aforementioned contemporary scheduling topics. For that, the
four and a half day program of this workshop will have about forty invited
talks by experts in the field.
