  • President Lands at Moffett Field During Silicon Valley Visit by Huong Nguyen and Jessica Culler President Barack Obama’S Arrival Onboard Air Force One on Sunday, Sept
    Fall 2011 - A Quarterly Publication Thousands turn out to tour airborne observatory at Ames The Stratospheric Observatory for In- frared Astronomy (SOFIA) visited NASA Ames and provided a rare opportunity to tour the airborne observatory in October. News media and Ames employees were invited to tour on Friday, Oct. 14 and the public on Saturday, Oct. 15. On Friday, an estimated 2,500 people, including representatives from CNET, Fox News, KQED (PBS), New Scientist, Space. com, Mountain View Patch and the San Mateo Daily Journal attended the event. On Saturday, an estimated 5,500 people visited Ames to tour SOFIA. See page 6 for a feature about the SOFIA visit. NASA photo by Doiminic Hart President lands at Moffett Field during Silicon Valley visit BY HUONG NGUYEN AND JESSICA CULLER President Barack Obama’s arrival onboard Air Force One on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011, at Moffett Federal Airfield marked his first land- ing at NASA Ames. Center Director Pete Worden met President Barack Obama upon his arrival. "I had the honor to meet President Obama when he arrived at Moffett Federal Airfield," said Worden, who along with San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and Mountain View Mayor Jac Siegel, greeted the president. "It was fitting that the president came to Silicon Valley to talk about his job creation plan, given how critical Silicon Valley is to the future of the U.S. economy," Worden said. NASA Ames is an integral com- ponent of the world-renowned inno- vation economy and actively partici- pates in the valley’s technological Photo credit: Official White House Photo by Pete Souza and scientific evolution.

  • Roofline Model Toolkit: a Practical Tool for Architectural and Program
    Roofline Model Toolkit: A Practical Tool for Architectural and Program Analysis Yu Jung Lo, Samuel Williams, Brian Van Straalen, Terry J. Ligocki, Matthew J. Cordery, Nicholas J. Wright, Mary W. Hall, and Leonid Oliker University of Utah, Lawerence Berkeley National Laboratory {yujunglo,mhall}@cs.utah.edu {swwilliams,bvstraalen,tjligocki,mjcordery,njwright,loliker}@lbl.gov Abstract. We present preliminary results of the Roofline Toolkit for multicore, manycore, and accelerated architectures. This paper focuses on the processor architecture characterization engine, a collection of portable instrumented micro benchmarks implemented with Message Passing Interface (MPI), and OpenMP used to express thread-level paral- lelism. These benchmarks are specialized to quantify the behavior of dif- ferent architectural features. Compared to previous work on performance characterization, these microbenchmarks focus on capturing the perfor- mance of each level of the memory hierarchy, along with thread-level parallelism, instruction-level parallelism and explicit SIMD parallelism, measured in the context of the compilers and run-time environments. We also measure sustained PCIe throughput with four GPU memory managed mechanisms. By combining results from the architecture char- acterization with the Roofline model based solely on architectural spec- ifications, this work offers insights for performance prediction of current and future architectures and their software systems. To that end, we in- strument three applications and plot their resultant performance on the corresponding Roofline model when run on a Blue Gene/Q architecture. Keywords: Roofline, Memory Bandwidth, CUDA Unified Memory 1 Introduction The growing complexity of high-performance computing architectures makes it difficult for users to achieve sustained application performance across different architectures.

The new list was released on November 17 at the SC14 conference in New Orleans (see slide 11). • The HECC Systems team worked with SGI engineers to complete system-wide testing on Pleiades, including a LINPACK benchmark run, prior to the release of new Intel Haswell processors for general production on October 27. • During the LINPACK run, Pleiades delivered a sustained performance of 3.38 petaflops using 73% of its compute nodes, representing 89% of the theoretical peak of the overall system. The benchmark was run on 1,024 Haswell nodes, 5,365 Pleiades’ increased LINPACK benchmark performance since 2008, when Ivy Bridge nodes, and 1,792 Sandy Bridge nodes. the original system was installed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility. The initial configuration achieved a sustained performance • In addition to measuring performance, the of 0.487 petaflops and 80% efficiency in benchmark testing. With the latest LINPACK run helped the Systems team detect upgrade, Pleiades achieved 84.6% efficiency on the LINPACK benchmark.

Anderson, Tom Shott Dept. of Engineering and Technology Management, Portland State University, USA Abstract- Advances in supercomputers have come at a steady pace over the past 20 years. The next milestone is to build an Exascale computer however this requires not only speed improvement but also significant enhancements for energy efficiency and massive parallelism. This paper examines technological progress of supercomputer development to identify the innovative potential of three leading technology paths toward Exascale development: hybrid system, multicore system and manycore system.

  • Characterizing and Understanding HPC Job Failures Over the 2K-Day Life of IBM Bluegene/Q System
    Characterizing and Understanding HPC Job Failures over The 2K-day Life of IBM BlueGene/Q System Sheng Di,∗ Hanqi Guo,∗ Eric Pershey,∗ Marc Snir,y Franck Cappello∗y ∗Argonne National Laboratory, IL, USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] yUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract—An in-depth understanding of the failure features of Blue Joule (UK), also adopt the same Blue Gene/Q system HPC jobs in a supercomputer is critical to the large-scale system architecture and they are still in operation. maintenance and improvement of the service quality for users. In Studying the job failure features in a large-scale system is this paper, we investigate the features of hundreds of thousands of jobs in one of the most powerful supercomputers, the IBM nontrivial in that it involves numerous messages logged from Blue Gene/Q Mira, based on 2001 days of observations with a across multiple data sources and many messages are heavily total of over 32.44 billion core-hours. We study the impact of the duplicated [2]. In our work, we performed a joint analysis system’s events on the jobs’ execution in order to understand the by leveraging four different data sources: the reliability, avail- system’s reliability from the perspective of jobs and users. The ability, and serviceability (RAS) log; task execution log; job characterization involves a joint analysis based on multiple data sources, including the reliability, availability, and serviceability scheduling log; and I/O behavior log. The RAS log is the most (RAS) log; job scheduling log; the log regarding each job’s important system log related to system reliability such as node physical execution tasks; and the I/O behavior log.
