  6. Leadership Computing Goal Accelerate discovery science and energy-technology innovation through use of cutting-edge HPC systems • Strategies: • Focus capability computing on high-priority, high-payoff applications • Facilitate computing on multiple emerging architectures to exploit architectural diversity and to mitigate risk • Leverage commodity hardware (CPUs, memory, storage, and interconnects) • Strive to achieve “balance” in systems among compute, memory, and storage • Ensure applications readiness as new systems come online • Incorporate state-of-the-art software tools, techniques, and algorithms developed by ASCR research in applied mathematics and computer science research to ensure performance and usability • Exigencies: • Machines often are “experimental” in nature, even though based on commodity hardware • Significant power and infrastructure needs • Special skills needed (to achieve initial and sustain ongoing operations, to program and use) • Relatively small number of applications/users

  7. FY 2015 ASCR Facility Investments ($K) • NERSC (High Performance Production Computing) (+3,395): • Operate optimally (over 90% scheduled availability) • Move to the Computational Research and Theory Building back on the LBNL campus • Initiate a post-doctoral training program for high-end computational science and engineering • LCFs (+13,320 ALCF; +$11.3M OLCF) • Operate optimally (over 90% scheduled availability) • Prepare for planned 75-200 petaflop upgrades in the 2017-2018 timeframe • Purchase and install long –lead time items such as cooling towers, chillers, transformers, heat exchangers, pumps, etc. • Initiate a post-doctoral training program for high-end computational science and engineering • High Performance Network Facilities and Testbeds (+$2.3M) • Operate optimally (99.99% reliability) • Coordinate with other agencies to ensure the availability of next generation of optical networking from domestic sources • Expansion of 100 Gbs network to support interim traffic growth

  8. Leadership Computing Facilities (+$24,637 in $K) • Leadership Computing Facilities (LCF) Mission: Provide the computational and data science resources required to solve the most challenging of scientific & engineering problems • 2 architectures to address diverse and growing computational needs of the scientific community. • Projects receive computational resources typically 100x greater than generally available. • Leadership Computing Facilities at Argonne (ALCF) and Oak Ridge (OLCF) completed upgrades in FY 2013. Currently the ALCF has a 10 PF IBM Blue Gene and the OLCF has a 27 PF Cray XK7. • Even with the increased resources, requests for allocations from both the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) and ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) on the LCF remain oversubscribed by a factor of 3 and expected to grow. • Planning, site preparation and delivery of next upgrades takes 4-5 years. The LCFs are working with LLNL on a joint procurement for resources in the 2017-2018 timeframe. The process for the next LCF upgrades has started • Mission need statement (CD-0) signed January, 2013 for the delivery of 150-400 petaflops (PF) (75-200 PF at each LCF to provide architectural diversity). Upgrades in this range would increase the capability of the LCFs by a factor of 4-10. • The Acquisition Strategy ( CD-1/CD-3a) was approved in October, 2013 allowing the labs to finalize a Request for Proposals for the upgrades. • RFP released in January 2014 ; proposals received February 2014 and under review. • Baseline approval and final contract negotiations with selected vendors are anticipated in Q1FY15

  9. Mission Need for LCF 2017-2018 Upgrades Science challenges that can be tackled with proposed upgrades: Energy Storage: Develop multiscale, atoms-to-devices, science-based predictive simulations of cell performance characteristics, safety, cost, and lifetime for various energy storage solutions along with design optimizations at all hierarchies of battery (battery materials, cell, pack, etc.). Nuclear Energy: Develop of integrated performance and safety codes with improved uncertainty quantification and bridging of time and length scales. Implement next-generation multiphysics, multiscale models. Perform accurate full reactor core calculations with 40,000 fuel pins and 100 axial regions. Combustion: Develop of fuel efficient engines through3D simulations of high-pressure, low-temperature, turbulent lifted diesel jet flames with biodiesel or rate controlled compression ignition with fuel blending of alternative C1-C2 fuels and n-heptane. Continue to explore the limits of high-pressure, turbulent combustion with increasing Reynolds number. Fusion: Perform integrated first-principles simulation including all the important multiscale physical processes to study fusion-reacting plasmas in realistic magnetic confinement geometries. Electric Grid: Optimization the stabilizing the energy grid while introducing renewable energy sources; incorporate more realistic decisions based on available energy sources. Accelerator Design: Simulate ultra-high gradient laser wakefield and plasma wakefield accelerator structures. Catalysis Design: Enable end-to-end, system-level descriptions of multifunctional catalysis including uncertainty quantification and data-integration approaches to enable inverse problems for catalytic materials design. Biomass to Biofuels: Simulate the interface and interaction between 100-million-atom microbial systems and cellulosic biomass, understanding the dynamics of enzymatic reactions on biomass. Design of superior enzymes for conversion of biomass. High resolution climate modeling: Simulate high resolution events by incorporating scale aware physics that extends from hydrostatic to nonhydrostatic dynamics. Incorporate cloud resolving simulation codes that couple with a dynamically responding surface. Rapid climate and earth system change: Adequately simulate physical and biogeochemical processes that drive nonlinear responses in the climate system, e.g., rapid increases of carbon transformations and cycling in thawing permafrost; ice sheet grounding line dynamics with ocean coupling that lead to rapid sea level rise; dynamics of teleconnections and system feedbacks within e.g. the (meridional) ocean circulation that alter global temperature and precipitation patterns.

  10. Anticipated LCF System Upgrades

  11. ALCF Upgrade Requirements

  12. OLCF Upgrade Requirements

  13. Post-Doc Training Program • The Nation needs highly trained workforce of computational scientists to run perform simulations across fields ranging from national security to basic energy science to engineering • ASCR facilities report that it takes up to 18 months to locate and recruit qualified computational scientists. • Numerous Advanced Scientific Computing Advisory Committee (ASCAC) reports have recommended investing more to build workforce capabilities • To address these needs ASCR proposes a Computational Scientists for Energy, Environment and National Security (CSEEN) Training program • Sited at ASCR facilities to attract a diverse set of candidates • Because of increasing processor count and architectural diversity in future computing resources, many application codes and algorithms will need to be re-written. CSEEN post docs will have access to the leading edge computers as well as experienced staff at the ASCR facilities to broaden their computational skillset. • Each facility is associated with a University with a strong computational science program. If there is a perceived gap in CSEEN Post Docs’ background there is support for additional course work.

  14. R&E Prototypes • FastForward: In FY12, Research and Evaluation Prototypes activity worked with LLNL to award $95M (total, including cost sharing, over two years) for innovative R&D on critical technologies – memory, processors and storage – needed to deliver next generation capabilities within a reasonable energy footprint. • Funded Projects: • AMD: processors and memory for extreme systems; • IBM : memory for extreme systems; • Intel Federal: energy efficient processors and memory architectures; • Nvidia: processor architecture for exascale computing at low power; and • Whamcloud: storage and I/O (input/output) – bought by Intel. • FY 2015 increases support taking FastForward research to the next level • Lab/vendor partnerships (+12,216) • develop prototypes of the most promising mid-term technologies from the Fast Forward program for further testing • Nonrecurring engineering (+7,934) • Incorporate near-term technologies from Fast Forward into planned facility upgrades at NERSC, ALCF and OLCF.

  15. Non Recurring Engineering (NRE) Costs • Support of IBM-ANL-LLNL R&D contract for design and development of the IBM Blue Gene P/Q systems Outcome Outcome • Support of Cray component of DARPA HPCS program • Support to develop and scale compilers, storage systems and debuggers to support use of graphical processing units Outcome • Because of vendor development schedules, the earliest that results from today’s Fast Forward investments can be in ASCR systems is 2020. Thus, NRE funds will be used to • Scale up proposed systems on vendor’s roadmap for deployment in the LCFs in 2017-2018 • Harden near-term vendor’s research for use in proposed systems to move the architectures closer to pre-exascale. • Component of Research and Evaluation Prototypes • Previous R&E investments beginning in 2007-2008

  16. LCF Staff A recent Independent review of the LCF’s upgrade plans found LCF organizations have a demonstrated track record of multiple, successful deployments of new machines, machine upgrades, and development of necessary infrastructure and ancillary facilities to house and maintain leadership computing operations. • Over the past 10 years, each LCF has created an staff experienced in deploying and operating “serial 1” supercomputers to deliver scientific discovery. Because of their extremely specialized skill sets many LCF staff members occupy leadership roles in international standards activities, users groups, and developments groups; are regularly engaged by national and international advisory panels on high-performance scientific computing; and asked to play leadership roles in scientific and technical meetings to more broadly share knowledge on progress in HPC. • They have created a new model for providing user support where each project is assigned their own specialist to ensure scientific discovery through the effective use of LCF systems and emerging systems by • assessing and improving the algorithms used by the applications; • helping optimize code for the users’ applications, • streamlining the work flow, and • solving any computer issues that arise.

  17.
