This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twin challenge of meeting global energy demands in the face of growing economies and populations and restricting greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most daunting ones that humanity has ever faced. Smart electrical generation and distribution infrastructure will play a crucial role in meeting these challenges. We would need to develop capabilities to handle large volumes of data generated by the power system components like PMUs, DFRs and other data acquisition devices as well as by the capacity to process these data at high resolution via multi-scale and multi-period simulations, cascading and security analysis, interaction between hybrid systems (electric, transport, gas, oil, coal, etc.) and so on, to get meaningful information in real time to ensure a secure, reliable and stable power system grid. Advanced research on development and implementation of market-ready leading-edge high-speed enabling technologies and algorithms for solving real-time, dynamic, resource-critical problems will be required for dynamic security analysis targeted towards successful implementation of Smart Grid initiatives. This books aims to bring together some of the latest research developments as well as thoughts on the future research directions of the high performance computing applications in electric power systems planning, operations, security, markets, and grid integration of alternate sources of energy, etc.

Book Parallel Computing  On the Road to Exascale

Download or read book Parallel Computing On the Road to Exascale written by G.R. Joubert and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As predicted by Gordon E. Moore in 1965, the performance of computer processors increased at an exponential rate. Nevertheless, the increases in computing speeds of single processor machines were eventually curtailed by physical constraints. This led to the development of parallel computing, and whilst progress has been made in this field, the complexities of parallel algorithm design, the deficiencies of the available software development tools and the complexity of scheduling tasks over thousands and even millions of processing nodes represent a major challenge to the construction and use of more powerful parallel systems. This book presents the proceedings of the biennial International Conference on Parallel Computing (ParCo2015), held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in September 2015. Topics covered include computer architecture and performance, programming models and methods, as well as applications. The book also includes two invited talks and a number of mini-symposia. Exascale computing holds enormous promise in terms of increasing scientific knowledge acquisition and thus contributing to the future well-being and prosperity of mankind. A number of innovative approaches to the development and use of future high-performance and high-throughput systems are to be found in this book, which will be of interest to all those whose work involves the handling and processing of large amounts of data.

Book Power energy Use Cases for High Performance Computing

Download or read book Power energy Use Cases for High Performance Computing written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power and Energy have been identified as a first order challenge for future extreme scale high performance computing (HPC) systems. In practice the breakthroughs will need to be provided by the hardware vendors. But to make the best use of the solutions in an HPC environment, it will likely require periodic tuning by facility operators and software components. This document describes the actions and interactions needed to maximize power resources. It strives to cover the entire operational space in which an HPC system occupies. The descriptions are presented as formal use cases, as documented in the Unified Modeling Language Specification [1]. The document is intended to provide a common understanding to the HPC community of the necessary management and control capabilities. Assuming a common understanding can be achieved, the next step will be to develop a set of Application Programing Interfaces (APIs) to which hardware vendors and software developers could utilize to steer power consumption.

Book DVFS Power Management in HPC Systems

Download or read book DVFS Power Management in HPC Systems written by Maja Etinski and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent increase in performance of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems has been followed by even higher increase in power consumption. Power draw of modern supercomputers leads to very high operating costs and reliability concerns. Furthermore, it has negative consequences on the environment. Accordingly, over the last decade there have been many works dealing with power/energy management in HPC systems. Since CPUs accounts for a high portion of the total system power consumption, our work aims at CPU power reduction. Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is a widely used technique for CPU power management. Running an application at lower frequency/voltage reduces its power consumption. However, frequency scaling should be used carefully since it has negative effects on the application performance. We argue that the job scheduler level presents a good place for power management in an HPC center having in mind that a parallel job scheduler has a global overview of the entire system. In this thesis we propose power-aware parallel job scheduling policies where the scheduler determines the job CPU frequency, besides the job execution order. Based on the goal, the proposed policies can be classified into two groups: energy saving and power budgeting policies. The energy saving policies aim to reduce CPU energy consumption with a minimal job performance penalty. The first of the energy saving policies assigns the job frequency based on system utilization while the other makes job performance predictions. While for less loaded workloads these policies achieve energy savings, highly loaded workloads suffer from a substantial performance degradation because of higher job wait times due to an increase in load caused by longer job run times. Our results show higher potential of the DVFS technique when applied for power budgeting. The second group of policies are policies for power constrained systems. In contrast to the systems without a power limitation, in the case of a given power budget the DVFS technique even improves overall job performance reducing the average job wait time. This comes from a lower job power consumption that allows more jobs to run simultaneously. The first proposed policy from this group assigns CPU frequency using the job predicted performance and current power draw of already running jobs. The other power budgeting policy is based on an optimization problem which solution determines the job execution order, as well as power distribution among jobs selected for execution. This policy fully exploits available power and leads to further performance improvements. The last contribution of the thesis is an analysis of the DVFS technique potential for energyperformance trade-off in current and future HPC systems. Ongoing changes in technology decrease the DVFS applicability for energy savings but the technique still reduces power consumption making it useful for power constrained systems. In order to analyze DVFS potential, a model of frequency scaling impact on MPI application execution time has been proposed and validated against measurements on a large-scale system. This parametric analysis showed for which application/platform characteristic, frequency scaling leads to energy savings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US, Europe, Japan and China are racing to develop the next generation of supercomputers – exascale machines capable of 10 to the 18th power calculations a second – by 2020. But the barriers are daunting: the challenge is to change the paradigm of high-performance computing. The 2012 biennial high performance workshop, held in Cetraro, Italy in June 2012, focused on the challenges facing the computing research community to reach exascale performance in the next decade. This book presents papers from this workshop, arranged into four major topics: energy, scalability, new architectural concepts and programming of heterogeneous computing systems. Chapter 1 introduces the status of present supercomputers, which are still about two orders of magnitude separated from the exascale mark. Chapter 2 examines energy demands, a major limiting factor of today's fastest supercomputers; the quantum leap in performance required for exascale computing will require a shift in architectures and technology. In Chapter 3, scalable computer paradigms for dense linear algebra on massive heterogeneous systems are presented, and Chapter 4 discusses architectural concepts. Finally, Chapter 5 addresses the programming of heterogeneous systems. This book will be of interest to all those wishing to understand how the development of modern supercomputers is set to advance in the next decade.
