The Supercomputing Institute provides supercomputing resources and user support to faculty and students and is a linchpin program in the University’s broad- based digital technology effort. The mission of the Supercomputing Institute is supercomputing research. This includes all aspects of high-performance computing and scientific modeling and simulation, as well as graphics, visualization, high-performance network communications, informatics, and data mining. Supercomputing research is defined broadly to include a variety of research activities from many disciplines. This research involves the use of high-performance computing environments to address problems in science and engineering that could not otherwise be attempted. Such efforts often result in domain-specific algorithms and codes that exploit the available computing environments as well as visualization techniques to enhance insight, make displays more informative, and add multimedia value to communications and work environments. In many cases, these research activities may involve research aimed at the design or evaluation of high-performance computing hardware, operating systems, networking, and general-purpose algorithms and software. The Supercomputing Institute’s resources are available to researchers at the University of Minnesota and other post-secondary educational institutions in the State of Minnesota. In addition, the Supercomputing Institute organizes and hosts symposia, workshops, and seminars, and coordinates other educational and collaborative activities to promote supercomputing research, increase university– industry collaboration, and promote technology transfer. Digital Technology Center The Supercomputing Institute plays a central role in the University of Minnesota’s digital technology initiative. This initiative includes technologies based on computers, electronics, telecommunications, digital design, computational biology, systems recognition and verification, graphics and visualization, databases and data mining, networks, storage, artificial intelligence, robotics and vision, signal processing and wireless technology, and electronic commerce. Key to this initiative is the renovation of Walter Library on the University’s East Bank Campus into a Digital Technology Center. This $63.4 million renovation kept the library’s historic 1920s decor intact while revamping the interior to include state-of-the-art technology. The Supercomputing Institute joined the Digital Technology Center in 2001 and moved to the home of the Digital Technology Center in Walter Library in March 2002, where it is located on the fifth floor and part of the fourth floor and basement. Supercomputers In 1981, the University of Minnesota was the first American university to acquire a supercomputer (a Cray-1B). The Supercomputing Institute was created in 1984 to provide leading-edge, high- performance computing resources to the University of Minnesota’s research community. From its inception through 1999, the supercomputing resources offered to the University of Minnesota research community have included a Cray- 2, an ETA 10, a Cray X-MP, an IBM 3090, a Cray M90, a Cray T3D, a Cray C90, a Cray T3E-900, an IBM SP based on Silvernodes, and an IBM SP based on WinterHawk and NightHawk nodes. The Supercomputing Institute has continued the strong tradition of providing University of Minnesota researchers with leading-edge, high-performance computing technologies and diversified programs that complement these technologies. In addition, the Institute has developed a strong program of user support, including tutorials and applications support across the physical, biological, mathematical, and computer sciences, engineering, and other disciplines that use high-performance computing, informatics, and data mining. In April 2000, the WinterHawk nodes were upgraded to WinterHawk+ technology. The Institute’s IBM SP supercomputer currently consists of a 370-processor supercomputer with 663 GB of memory. The nodes available for computation are: • 74 4-processor WinterHawk+ nodes with 375 MHz Power3 processors; 16 nodes have 8 GB of memory each; the remaining nodes each have 4 GB of memory. • 12 4-processor NightHawk nodes, each with 222 MHz Power3 processors and 16 GB of memory. Four of the WinterHawk+ nodes are available for interactive use, and the remaining WinterHawk+ nodes and all NightHawk nodes are for computation through the queuing system. There are also four WinterHawk+ nodes used as file servers. In addition, the Institute has a 16-processor Silvernode IBM SP with 12 GB of memory. The Silvernode SP utilizes the 332 MHz PowerPC 604e processor and has 4 TB of disk space. The IBM supercomputer resources are available in coordination with the IBM Shared University Research (SUR) partnership. In March 2002, the Supercomputing Institute purchased an IBM pSeries 690 (Regatta). This system was upgraded in August 2002 to two Regattas. The system consists of two compute nodes with 1.3 GHz Power4 processors, file servers, and an interactive node. One of the compute nodes has 32 processors sharing 64 GB of memory, while the second node has 24 processors sharing 24 GB of memory. The interactive node is a WinterHawk+ node. Four 4-processor NightHawk nodes are used as file servers for 7 TB of disk. The Institute’s LINUX Cluster consists of 82 2-processor Netfinity nodes from IBM. Of these 82 nodes, 76 are available for computation, five are file servers, and one node is for interactive use. Seventeen of these nodes have two 733 MHx Intel Pentium III processors sharing 1 GB of memory. The remaining nodes have two 1.26 GHz Pentium III processors sharing 3.25 GB of memory. The nodes are connected together using Fast Ethernet and Myrinet. A cluster file system provides 2.5 TB of disk that can be used on all nodes. The IBM systems will be upgraded in July 2003 and further upgraded in Fall 2003. In May 2001, the Supercomputing Institute installed

  • Creativity – Success – Obscurity
    Author Gerry Pickering CREATIVITY – SUCCESS – OBSCURITY UNIVAC, WHAT HAPPENED? A fellow retiree posed the question of what happened. How did the company that invented the computer snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? The question piqued my interest, thus I tried to draw on my 32 years of experiences in the company and the myriad of information available on the Internet to answer the question for myself and hopefully others that may still be interested 60+ years after the invention and delivery of the first computers. Computers plural, as there were more than one computer and more than one organization from which UNIVAC descended. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, located in Philadelphia PA are credited with inventing the first general purpose computer under a contract with the U.S. Army. But our heritage also traces back to a second group of people in St. Paul MN who developed several computers about the same time under contract with the U.S. Navy. This is the story of how these two companies started separately, merged to become one company, how that merged company named UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computers) grew to become a main rival of IBM (International Business Machines), then how UNIVAC was swallowed by another company to end up in near obscurity compared to IBM and a changing industry. Admittedly it is a biased story, as I observed the industry from my perspective as an employee of UNIVAC. It is also biased in that I personally observed only a fraction of the events as they unfolded within UNIVAC. This story concludes with a detailed account of my work assignments within UNIVAC.

  • CISER: Cornell Researchers Team Itanium® 2-Based Unisys ES7000* Server with SAS* 9 and Windows* Server 2003 to Boost Performance and Streamline Data Center
    Intel® Business Center Case Study Business Intelligence CISER CISER: Cornell Researchers Team Itanium® 2-Based Unisys ES7000* Server with SAS* 9 and Windows* Server 2003 to Boost Performance and Streamline Data Center SOLUTION SUMMARY Challenge The Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER) urgently needed to boost performance for processing- and memory-intensive SAS* applications. CISER needed to acquire the resources to run 64-bit SAS 9 when it became available for the Windows* Server 2003 operating system. Yet, more than 600 researchers still needed broad-ranging 32-bit support. CISER needed to find an economical way to manage both 64-bit and 32-bit user communities demanding more power. Solution Rather than continue to add 2- and 4-way servers, CISER decided to purchase a Unisys ES7000* Enterprise Server containing eight Intel® Itanium® 2 processors and 16 Intel Xeon™ processors MP. This mainframe-class machine provides tremendous processor and memory scalability in the familiar Windows environment. CISER will be able to host 32-bit and 64-bit applications in the same system while consolidating its server holdings from 12 to 1. Business value By moving to the Unisys ES7000, CISER will boost the performance of some particularly demanding SAS applications by as much as 70 percent. The additional processing power allows researchers to crunch through demanding data analyses much faster than before and to work with much larger data sets to answer questions they couldn’t even ask before. Faster answers lead to more work accomplished in a given grant period and an improved chance of renewing grant funding.
