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."

We provide business critical hardware to the world's leading telecom and networking equipment manufacturers with both standard and customized products. Our High Performance Servers are highly configurable platforms designed to balance the best in x86 server-class processing performance with maximum I/O and offload density. The systems are cost effective, highly available and optimized to meet next generation networking and media processing needs.
“Advantech’s Networks and Communication Group has been both an innovator and trusted enabling partner in the telecommunications and network security markets for over a decade, designing and manufacturing products for OEMs that accelerate their network platform evolution and time to market.” Said Advantech Vice President of Networks & Communications Group, Ween Niu. “In the new IP Infrastructure era, we will be expanding our expertise in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), two of the essential conduits to 5G infrastructure agility making networks easier to install, secure, automate and manage in a cloud-based infrastructure.”
In addition to innovation in air interface technologies and architecture extensions, 5G will also need a new generation of network computing platforms to run the emerging software defined infrastructure, one that provides greater topology flexibility, essential to deliver on the promises of high availability, high coverage, low latency and high bandwidth connections. This will open up new parallel industry opportunities through dedicated 5G network slices reserved for specific industries dedicated to video traffic, augmented reality, IoT, connected cars etc. 5G unlocks many new doors and one of the keys to its enablement lies in the elasticity and flexibility of the underlying infrastructure.

In this deck from the Stanford HPC Conference, Katie Lewis from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory presents: The Incorporation of Machine Learning into Scientific Simulations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
"Scientific simulations have driven computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for decades. During that time, we have seen significant changes in hardware, tools, and algorithms. Today, data science, including machine learning, is one of the fastest growing areas of computing, and LLNL is investing in hardware, applications, and algorithms in this space. While the use of simulations to focus and understand experiments is well accepted in our community, machine learning brings new challenges that need to be addressed. I will explore applications for machine learning in scientific simulations that are showing promising results and further investigation that is needed to better understand its usefulness."

HPC Impact: EDA Telemetry Neural Networks
The document discusses using systems intelligence and artificial intelligence/neural networks to enhance semiconductor electronic design automation (EDA) workflows by collecting telemetry data from EDA jobs and infrastructure and analyzing it using complex event processing, machine learning models, and messaging substrates to provide insights that could optimize EDA pipelines and infrastructure. The approach aims to allow both internal and external augmentation of EDA processes and environments through unsupervised and incremental learning.
Biohybrid Robotic Jellyfish for Future Applications in Ocean Monitoring
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."

Machine Learning for Weather Forecasts
In this deck from the Stanford HPC Conference, Peter Dueben from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) presents: Machine Learning for Weather Forecasts.
"I will present recent studies that use deep learning to learn the equations of motion of the atmosphere, to emulate model components of weather forecast models and to enhance usability of weather forecasts. I will than talk about the main challenges for the application of deep learning in cutting-edge weather forecasts and suggest approaches to improve usability in the future."
Peter is contributing to the development and optimization of weather and climate models for modern supercomputers. He is focusing on a better understanding of model error and model uncertainty, on the use of reduced numerical precision that is optimised for a given level of model error, on global cloud- resolving simulations with ECMWF's forecast model, and the use of machine learning, and in particular deep learning, to improve the workflow and predictions. Peter has graduated in Physics and wrote his PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany. He worked as Postdoc with Tim Palmer at the University of Oxford and has taken up a position as University Research Fellow of the Royal Society at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in 2017.

Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning
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 Efficiently
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.

Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Era
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."

"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."

Efficient Model Selection for Deep Neural Networks on Massively Parallel Proc...
In this deck from FOSDEM 2020, Frank McQuillan from Pivotal presents: Efficient Model Selection for Deep Neural Networks on Massively Parallel Processing Databases.
"In this session we will present an efficient way to train many deep learning model configurations at the same time with Greenplum, a free and open source massively parallel database based on PostgreSQL. The implementation involves distributing data to the workers that have GPUs available and hopping model state between those workers, without sacrificing reproducibility or accuracy. Then we apply optimization algorithms to generate and prune the set of model configurations to try.
Deep neural networks are revolutionizing many machine learning applications, but hundreds of trials may be needed to generate a good model architecture and associated hyperparameters. This is the challenge of model selection. It is time consuming and expensive, especially if you are only training one model at a time.
Massively parallel processing databases can have hundreds of workers, so can you use this parallel compute architecture to address the challenge of model selection for deep nets, in order to make it faster and cheaper?
It’s possible!
We will demonstrate results from this project using a version of Hyperband, which is a well known hyperparameter optimization algorithm, and the deep learning frameworks Keras and TensorFlow, all running on Greenplum database using Apache MADlib. Other topics will include architecture, scalability results and bright opportunities for the future."

Making Supernovae with Jets
In this deck from DOE CSGF 2019, Chelsea Harris from the University of Michigan presents: Making Supernovae with Jets.
"Supernovae are the explosions of stars. One reason they are fundamentally important is they create and disperse elements heavier than carbon throughout the universe. Different stars explode in different ways, but the most common supernova type is from massive stars (greater than 10 times the mass of the sun) whose cores collapse to form a neutron star or black hole – "core collapse supernovae" or CC SNe. Even among massive stars, though, there are differences that can affect the outcome of core collapse. I am specifically interested in progenitors whose cores are rotating and magnetic (magnetorotational). Such cores may experience instabilities after collapse that launch a fast jet, which could rescue r-process elements formed near the proto-neutron star from destruction. The instabilities can also add power to the explosion and relieve tension between observations and theory. In addition to running simulations with existing FLASH code modules, I am developing a FLASH hydrodynamics module, SparkJoy, to perform these simulations at high order. These projects are part of a DOE INCITE project to explore progenitor effects on CC SNe and of the DOE SciDAC program "Towards Exascale Astrophysics of Mergers and Supernovae," a nationwide collaboration of supernova theorists unprecedented in its collaborative scale. Research like mine is made much easier at Michigan State University through the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering which, like the DOE CSGF, brings together members from different areas to share knowledge and strengthen each other's research."

Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning
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."

Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Era
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."

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks.

The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Recently uploaded (20)
