چکیده
9 Application Modernization at LLNL and the Sierra Center of Excellence J. Robert Neely and Bronis R. de Supinski In 2014, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory began acquisition of Sierra, a preexascale system from IBM and Nvidia. Its use marks a significant shift in direction, introducing the concept of heterogeneous computing via GPUs. An overview of LLNL’s overall application strategy focuses on how it’s ensuring a successful transition of mission-oriented applications into the exascale era.

The goal of this paper is to highlight the challenges in providing scalable tool support on exascale class machines and to identify key research and development needs as well as opportunities to meet these challenges. In this context we define tool support very broadly as software that helps programmers to understand, optimize and fix their codes as well as software that facilitates interaction...
متن کاملMultiscale computing in the exascale era
We expect that multiscale simulations will be one of the main high performance computing workloads in the exascale era. We propose multiscale computing patterns as a generic vehicle to realise load balanced, fault tolerant and energy aware high performance multiscale computing. Multiscale computing patterns should lead to a separation of concerns, whereby application developers can compose mult...

It is expected that our HEC system will enter exascale era in decade, which is one thousand times of performance as today’s system (petascale). In the mean time, many challenges also have been noticed and pointed out, as the size of HEC system increased without some dispensable improving on architecture of today’s HEC system, the systems could collapse at exascale, because the functionality wou...
متن کاملCharming Exascale Power Problems
Power, energy and reliability present major challenges to HPC researchers in their endeavor to build larger machines. As we approach the exascale era, both hardware and software designers need to account for these challenges while optimizing performance. The Parallel Programming Laboratory (PPL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has been actively working on meeting these ...
