Global Financial Leader Consolidates Mainframe Storage and Reduces Costs with...Hitachi Vantara
Companies with mainframes and mainframe storage face the same complex issues and desires as other businesses. They need to lower costs, reduce their storage footprint, boost performance and increase scalability, all with flat or declining budgets. And even as they make these improvements, companies also want to reduce operations costs and be freed from the overhead of continually tuning their environments for peak performance. They want and expect
data to be moved to the appropriate tier and both capacity and performance to be optimized automatically.

Your Self-Driving Car - How Did it Get So Smart?Hortonworks
As we all can appreciate, “teaching” a vehicle to drive under the full range of conditions it will encounter (i.e. road conditions, weather conditions, behavior of other vehicles) is a daunting proposition. If merely the thought of this makes you nervous, you’re not alone – according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), 75 percent of consumers are not yet ready to embrace self-driving cars. However, that is the very challenge facing automakers – teaching vehicles to unfailingly assess and respond to any combination of operational conditions “on-the-fly” through discrete rules (algorithms) governing a vehicle’s behavior.
Join Hortonworks and NorCom at the upcoming webinar as we discuss:
•Evolution of the autonomous driving
•Traditional data management approaches and main challenges associated with them
•How NorCom and Hortonworks can address those challenges and accelerate the pace of autonomous development

Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future direct...inside-BigData.com
In this deck from IWOCL / SYCLcon 2020, Hal Finkel from Argonne National Laboratory presents: Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future directions.
"Argonne National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing Facility will be home to Aurora, our first exascale supercomputer. Aurora promises to take scientific computing to a whole new level, and scientists and engineers from many different fields will take advantage of Aurora’s unprecedented computational capabilities to push the boundaries of human knowledge. In addition, Aurora’s support for advanced machine-learning and big-data computations will enable scientific workflows incorporating these techniques along with traditional HPC algorithms. Programming the state-of-the-art hardware in Aurora will be accomplished using state-of-the-art programming models. Some of these models, such as OpenMP, are long-established in the HPC ecosystem. Other models, such as Intel’s oneAPI, based on SYCL, are relatively-new models constructed with the benefit of significant experience. Many applications will not use these models directly, but rather, will use C++ abstraction libraries such as Kokkos or RAJA. Python will also be a common entry point to high-performance capabilities. As we look toward the future, features in the C++ standard itself will become increasingly relevant for accessing the extreme parallelism of exascale platforms.
This presentation will summarize the experiences of our team as we prepare for Aurora, exploring how to port applications to Aurora’s architecture and programming models, and distilling the challenges and best practices we’ve developed to date. oneAPI/SYCL and OpenMP are both critical models in these efforts, and while the ecosystem for Aurora has yet to mature, we’ve already had a great deal of success. Importantly, we are not passive recipients of programming models developed by others. Our team works not only with vendor-provided compilers and tools, but also develops improved open-source LLVM-based technologies that feed both open-source and vendor-provided capabilities. In addition, we actively participate in the standardization of OpenMP, SYCL, and C++. To conclude, I’ll share our thoughts on how these models can best develop in the future to support exascale-class systems."

Biohybrid Robotic Jellyfish for Future Applications in Ocean Monitoringinside-BigData.com
In this deck from the Stanford HPC Conference, Nicole Xu from Stanford University describes how she transformed a common jellyfish into a bionic creature that is part animal and part machine.
"Animal locomotion and bioinspiration have the potential to expand the performance capabilities of robots, but current implementations are limited. Mechanical soft robots leverage engineered materials and are highly controllable, but these biomimetic robots consume more power than corresponding animal counterparts. Biological soft robots from a bottom-up approach offer advantages such as speed and controllability but are limited to survival in cell media. Instead, biohybrid robots that comprise live animals and self- contained microelectronic systems leverage the animals’ own metabolism to reduce power constraints and body as an natural scaffold with damage tolerance. We demonstrate that by integrating onboard microelectronics into live jellyfish, we can enhance propulsion up to threefold, using only 10 mW of external power input to the microelectronics and at only a twofold increase in cost of transport to the animal. This robotic system uses 10 to 1000 times less external power per mass than existing swimming robots in literature and can be used in future applications for ocean monitoring to track environmental changes."

In this deck from the Performance Optimisation and Productivity group, Lubomir Riha from IT4Innovations presents: Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning.
"We now live in a world of power-constrained architectures and systems and power consumption represents a significant cost factor in the overall HPC system economy. For these reasons, in recent years researchers, supercomputing centers and major vendors have developed new tools and methodologies to measure and optimize the energy consumption of large-scale high performance system installations. Due to the link between energy consumption, power consumption and execution time of an application executed by the final user, it is important for these tools and the methodology used to consider all these aspects, empowering the final user and the system administrator with the capability of finding the best configuration given different high level objectives.
This webinar focused on tools designed to improve the energy-efficiency of HPC applications using a methodology of dynamic tuning of HPC applications, developed under the H2020 READEX project. The READEX methodology has been designed for exploiting the dynamic behaviour of software. At design time, different runtime situations (RTS) are detected and optimized system configurations are determined. RTSs with the same configuration are grouped into scenarios, forming the tuning model. At runtime, the tuning model is used to switch system configurations dynamically.
The MERIC tool, that implements the READEX methodology, is presented. It supports manual or binary instrumentation of the analysed applications to simplify the analysis. This instrumentation is used to identify and annotate the significant regions in the HPC application. Automatic binary instrumentation annotates regions with significant runtime. Manual instrumentation, which can be combined with automatic, allows code developer to annotate regions of particular interest."

Zettar: Moving Massive Amounts of Data across Any Distance Efficientlyinside-BigData.com
In this video from the Rice Oil & Gas Conference, Chin Fang from Zettar presents: Moving Massive Amounts of Data across Any Distance Efficiently.
The objective of this talk is to present two on-going projects aiming at improving and ensuring highly efficient bulk transferring or streaming of massive amounts of data over digital connections across any distance. It examines the current state of the art, a few very common misconceptions, the differences among the three major type of data movement solutions, a current initiative attempting to improve the data movement efficiency from the ground up, and another multi-stage project that shows how to conduct long distance large scale data movement at speed and scale internationally. Both projects have real world motivations, e.g. the ambitious data transfer requirements of Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) [1], a premier preparation project of the U.S. DOE Exascale Computing Initiative (ECI) [2]. Their immediate goals are described and explained, together with the solution used for each. Findings and early results are reported. Possible future works are outlined.

In this deck from the Rice Oil & Gas Conference, Bradley McCredie from AMD presents: Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Law Era.
"While foundries bravely drive forward to overcome the technical and economic challenges posed by scaling to 5nm and beyond, Moore’s law alone can provide only a fraction of the performance / watt and performance / dollar gains needed to satisfy the demands of today’s high performance computing and artificial intelligence applications. To close the gap, multiple strategies are required. First, new levels of innovation and design efficiency will supplement technology gains to continue to deliver meaningful improvements in SoC performance. Second, heterogenous compute architectures will create x-factor increases of performance efficiency for the most critical applications. Finally, open software frameworks, APIs, and toolsets will enable broad ecosystems of application level innovation."

In this deck from FOSDEM 2020, Colin Sauze from Aberystwyth University describes the development of a RaspberryPi cluster for teaching an introduction to HPC.
"The motivation for this was to overcome four key problems faced by new HPC users:
* The availability of a real HPC system and the effect running training courses can have on the real system, conversely the availability of spare resources on the real system can cause problems for the training course.
* A fear of using a large and expensive HPC system for the first time and worries that doing something wrong might damage the system.
* That HPC systems are very abstract systems sitting in data centres that users never see, it is difficult for them to understand exactly what it is they are using.
* That new users fail to understand resource limitations, in part because of the vast resources in modern HPC systems a lot of mistakes can be made before running out of resources. A more resource constrained system makes it easier to understand this.
The talk will also discuss some of the technical challenges in deploying an HPC environment to a Raspberry Pi and attempts to keep that environment as close to a "real" HPC as possible. The issue to trying to automate the installation process will also be covered."

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
