High-performance computing and artificial intelligence have driven supercomputers into wide commercial use as the primary data processing engines enabling research, scientific discoveries, and product development. Extracting the highest possible performance from supercomputing systems while achieving efficient utilization has traditionally been incompatible with the secured, multi-tenant...
This talk will provide an update on the way HPE is working with customers to provide technology and solutions to address the most challenging problems in high performance computing. It will include the need to make use of heterogeneous computing elements, and how AI can be combined with HPC to enable end users to be more productive
The talk will cover some of the trends in power, cpu tech, and the challenges we are being faced by our technology partners pushing the limits.
Over the past decade, given the higher number of data sources (e.g., Cloud applications, Internet of things) and critical business demands, Big Data transitioned from batch-oriented to real-time analytics. Stream storage systems, such as Apache Kafka, are well known for their increasing role in real-time Big Data analytics. For scalable stream data ingestion and processing, they logically...
As a recent I/O behaviour analysis [1] has revealed, High Performance Computing(HPC) storage systems may no longer be dominated by write I/O – challenging the long- and widely-held belief that HPC workloads are write-intensive. HPC applications are evolving to include not only traditional scale-up modelling and simulation bulk-synchronous workloads but also scale-out workloads...
In HPC, typical scientific codes often manage a massive amount of data utilizing I/O middleware libraries, such as HDF5, PnetCDF, ADIOS, etc. These libraries support a variety of data structures and allow end users to optimize I/O performance by tuning configurations across multiple layers of the HPC I/O middleware stack. This work proposes SCTuner, an autotuner built...
The gap between I/O performance and memory performance is decreasing due to the emergence of fast, low-latency storage such as NVMe and persistent memory (PMEM). However, traditional interfaces to storage (e.g., POSIX) do not fully leverage these new device characteristics, resulting in significant performance degradation. New interfaces to storage must be utilized in order to achieve the full...

The large sample sizes of modern genetic datasets has necessitated the development of high-throughput accelerators in order to allow bioinformatics research to be performed in a reasonable amount of time. Although the inherently parallel nature of FPGAs makes them well suited to accelerating high-throughput workloads, they are not commonly employed as bioinformatics accelerators (in lieu of...

Many DLI programs specifically target academia with the goal of providing faculty...
BoF: Online Education: Surprises and Insights
For some, the move to online education and training took place many years ago, while for others, the need to move online was thrust upon them due to the global pandemic. No matter what the circumstances or motivations for the move, the community of online educators and trainers have all encountered challenges, experienced surprises, and...
