事前の記事
"Internet2 readies 100G OpenFlow SDN for Big Data"

[san-tech][03584] Statement of Work, US DOE/NNSA Extreme-Scale Computing Research and Development FastForward RFP (2012)

Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:41:03 +0900

"LLNL Takes Lead in Managing the DOE’s FastForward Program"
 08.16.2012, insideHPC
  http://insidehpc.com/2012/08/16/llnl-takes-lead-in-managing-the-doe%E2%80%99s-fastforward-program/

--------------------------------------------------
先日担当社が確定した (公式プレスリリースは見つかりませんが)、DOE/NNSAの
Extreme-Scale Computing Research and Development
FastForward Request for Proposals
  https://asc.llnl.gov/fastforward/

の Statement of Work (プロジェクトの目標、成果物等、役割分担を明記した
文章) を斜め読みしてみました (SOWの TCO紹介は長いので最後にしました)。
はじめにプロジェクトについて (プロジェクト期間は 2年間)

"The FastForward RFP objective is to initiate partnerships with multiple
 companies to accelerate the R&D of critical technologies needed
 for extreme-scale computing. It is recognized that the broader
 computing market will drive innovation in a direction that may not meet
 DOE's mission needs"

後で紹介する NVIDIAの Bill Dallyの Blogの方が解りやすい気がするので：
"The two-year contract calls for NVIDIA to conduct research and development
 in processor architecture, circuits, memory architecture, high-speed
 signaling and programming models to enable an exascale computer at
 a reasonable power level. The concept is to use thousands of efficient,
 throughput-optimized cores to perform the bulk of the work, with
 a handful of latency-optimized cores to perform the residual serial
 computation." Bill Dally, NVIDIA
※↑に Storage and I/Oが加わります。


以下の 3領域で RFPを募集してました (2012/05/11締切)

*)Memory
*)Processor
*)Storage and I/O

[san-tech][03583] NCSA Blue Waters deploys Redundant Arrays of Independent Tapes (RAIT)

2012年 4月 16日～18日に開催された HPC User Forumの資料を見ていて気付いた
のですが、NCSA Blue Watersのテープシステム (Spectra Logic T-Finity Libraries
380 raw petabytes (PB)) では、Redundant Arrays of Independent Tapes (RAIT)
が採用されています。

RAIT (Page 12)
*)Multiple data classes depending on file size to take advantage of tape
  writing strategies
    4+1, 7+2, 10+2, etc
    Trade off latency vs performance - Depends on the size of the data
*)Multiple levels of RAIT part of the requirements

[san-tech][03578] Slide: International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers (ROSS 2012), (2012/06/29)

Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:43:18 +0900
--------------------------------------------------
HPC関係の少し特殊なワークショップですが、気になる発表もあるので紹介します。

International Workshop on
Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers (ROSS 2012)
Held in conjunction with ICS 2012, Venice, Italy, June 29, 2012
  http://www.unixer.de/ross2012/index.html

Scope
"The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases
 as we cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale.
 Increasing levels of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and
 emerging heterogeneity of computational resources coupled with energy
 and memory constraints force a reevaluation of our approaches towards
 operating systems and runtime environments. The International Workshop
 on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers provides a forum
 for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss research questions that
 are relevant to upcoming supercomputers."

  "The FM6764 ASIC supports OpenFlow 1.0 control protocols and VXLAN,
   the extended LAN virtualization protocol espoused by VMware that puts
   a Layer 2 overlay on top of Layer 3 networks so virtual network links
   don't break as virtual machines flit across data centers. The Fulcrum chip
   also supports the NVGRE alternative that Microsoft, Intel, Dell, and
   Hewlett-Packard have offered."
