An Overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) center • HPC cluster-based system built up in 1999, but the HPC center established on December 31st 2001 with the name High Performance Computing and Applications Center, Hanoi University of Technology, • Mission: • Organizing the scientific research and technology transfer activities in the field of HPC/GC technology. • Participating in the governmental IT projects, especially in the field of HPC/GC. • Training scientific researchers on IT, HPC/GC. • International cooperation in HPC/GC. • Website: http://hpcc.hut.edu.vn
Members of the HPC center • Prof. Thanh-Thuy Nguyen, Director • Dr. Huu-Duc Nguyen, Vice-Director, Lecturer in IT School. • Dr. Tuan-Anh Ta, Lecturer in IT School • Master Trung-Tung Doan, Researcher at HPC. • Master Tuan-Tu Tran, Researcher. • Engineer Duc-Thanh Do, Lecturer in IT School • Engineer Duc-Tung Le, Researcher HPC. • Collaborators: Post-graduates, PhD. Students, Former students (now in France, Canada, Japan, Italia,….) • 15 trainees/year x 2 years.
Prior experience in HPC/Grid Middleware and Applications • Parallel computing and cluster technology • In the early stage, we are focused on a cheap solution for high performance computing using PC-based cluster. • Parallel computing and cluster environments: PVM, MPI, OpenMP, CONDOR, and PBS • Several researches on scheduling, fault tolerance and single system image. • Typical research topics are: data-intensive computing, failure-aware workflow scheduling. • Some open-source cluster middlewares: BKlusware, BKFaultTolerance, BKOSSIC (Bach Khoa Open Single System Image Cluster) for cluster community in Vietnam
Prior experience in HPC/Grid Middleware and Applications (2) • Grid Computing • Grid environments: Globus Toolkit and G-Lite. • Typical research topics are: grid scheduler, agent-based approaches for grid computing, semantic grid resource specification. • An open-source Grid middleware, called BKGrid, will be used in the National VN-Grid research project (2007-2009).
Applications • In collaboration with Institute of Meteorology and Hydraulics; Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, Hanoi National University, Vietnam • Building a Data Grid, Grid Portal for sharing climate data among Weather Forecast centers in Vietnam • In collaboration with Hanoi Pharmaceutical University, Vietnam • Applying Grid Computing for discovering new medicine based on DOCKing • in collaboration with Institute of Engineering Physics, HUT, Vietnam • Molecular Dynamic Simulation in Engineering Physics 10/13/2014 15
Domestic collaborations • VN-Grid National Research Project 2007-2009 partners: Institute of Information Technology (IOIT) Hanoi, IOIT HCM City, Hanoi National University, LeQuyDon Engineering University. • Grid Special Interest Group in VINAREN organization (Vietnam Research Education Network) • HCM City University of Technology • HUT Institutions: School of Information Technology, Library and Information Network Center.
International collaborations • National Center of High Performance Computing, Taipei, Taiwan (since 2006) • Center for Development of Advanced Computing, India (Since 2003. There will be a SuperComputer at HPC-HUT as grant of India to Vietnam soon) • Doson Grid School • TEIN-2 Project (HUT is NOC-VN and NOC-HN) • Asia Pacific Advanced Networking (APAN)
Brief statement of Rationale • Contribution of computing resource (initial configuration) • Head node: 2 x 1Ghz, 512Mb RAM • Computing nodes: 3 x (3.0Ghz, 1Gb RAM) • Storage capacity: 150Gb • Bandwidth • 6Mb via commercial internet • 135Mb via TEIN-2
Brief statement of Rationale • Involvement in Grid Middleware development • Fault tolerance module • Single System Image for Grid • Economic-based scheduler • Semantic grid resource discovery. • Involvement in Grid Application development • Geo-Grid for Disaster Management. • Bio-Grid for Docking.
Brief statement of Rationale • Involvement in PRAGMA activities • Attending the PRAGMA workshops regularly • Hosting a PRAGMA workshop in the future • Bridging PRAGMA collaboration to other GC/HPC institutions in Vietnam.
Indication of Intentions • We strongly believe that joining PRAGMA would give us a precious opportunity for: • Receiving the state-of-the-art grid technology • A much better computational environment for experimenting and conducting grid applications • What can we contribute to promoting life science HPC and GC communities • Participation to development of grid applications in life science for Vietnam and the region • Sharing knowledge and experiments on deploying grid technologies in related areas • Computing resource: Supercomputer from C-DAC (128 Processors, 2TFlops, 256 GB RAM, 36TB HDD).
