Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although supercomputer systems are faster, and have larger memory hierarchies than other computer systems, such characteristics merely imply the existence of great potential power. How much of that power can be harnessed productively is the central theme of performance evaluation. A set of methods for evaluating the performance of applications on supercomputers has not yet been rigorously defined. This volume is a compilation of research approaches and techniques that are a promising means to that end. The contributions are grouped into three sections. Contributors to Performance looks at applications, algorithms, compilers, operating systems, and memory issues. Measurements and Metrics addresses some of the current techniques and methods of performance evaluation. Among the topics are: the performance monitoring capabilities of the CEDAR system, the methodology behind the Livermore loops, the empirical analysis of system performance, and a software simulator developed in connection with the RP3 project. Methods, Models, and Directions looks at ways of establishing a general and theoretical framework for supercomputer performance evaluation.

Book excerpt: After you've bought a few of these new generation, multi-million dollar supercomputers, you begin to notice that some are better than others, and you can't always tell by the color. Here is help in the form of 18 papers by contributors from the US and Europe presenting a wide variety of views on evaluative techniques. Among the topics they address are some of the innovative architectures and how to exploit their full potential, established benchmarks and application-specific ones developed by users, and the modifications being made in the mathematical software libraries to account for the new vector and parallel processing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supercomputers play a significant and growing role in a variety of areas important to the nation. They are used to address challenging science and technology problems. In recent years, however, progress in supercomputing in the United States has slowed. The development of the Earth Simulator supercomputer by Japan that the United States could lose its competitive advantage and, more importantly, the national competence needed to achieve national goals. In the wake of this development, the Department of Energy asked the NRC to assess the state of U.S. supercomputing capabilities and relevant R&D. Subsequently, the Senate directed DOE in S. Rpt. 107-220 to ask the NRC to evaluate the Advanced Simulation and Computing program of the National Nuclear Security Administration at DOE in light of the development of the Earth Simulator. This report provides an assessment of the current status of supercomputing in the United States including a review of current demand and technology, infrastructure and institutions, and international activities. The report also presents a number of recommendations to enable the United States to meet current and future needs for capability supercomputers.

This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the work of the Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics, Ninth Round. The committee evaluated submissions received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for biomolecular simulation time on Anton 2, a supercomputer specially designed and built by D.E. Shaw Research (DESRES). Over the past 8 years, DESRES has made an Anton or Anton 2 system housed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) available to the non-commercial research community, based on the advice of previous National Research Council committees. As in prior rounds, the goal of the ninth RFP for simulation time on Anton 2 is to continue to facilitate breakthrough research in the study of biomolecular systems by providing a massively parallel system specially designed for molecular dynamics simulations. The program seeks to continue to support research that addresses important and high impact questions demonstrating a clear need for Anton's special capabilities. Report of the Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics, Ninth Round is the final report of the committee's evaluation of proposals based on scientific merit, justification for requested time allocation, and investigator qualifications and past accomplishments. This report identifies the proposals that best met the selection criteria.
