Santiago Ramon´ y Cajal A todos los que he desatendido durante la carrera Sinopsis El continuo aumento de las necesidades de computo´ de la comunidad cient´ıfica esta´ ocasionando la proliferacion´ de centros de supercomputacion´ a lo largo del mundo. Desde hace unos anos˜ la tendencia es ha utilizar una arquitectura de cluster para la construccion´ de estas maquinas.´ Precisamente la UPM cuenta con uno de estos computadores. Se trata de Magerit, el segundo super- computador mas´ potente de Espana˜ que se encuentra alojado en el CeSViMa y que alcanza los 16 TFLOPS. Los nodos de computo´ de un sistema de estas caracter´ısticas trabajan exhaustivamente casi sin des- canso, por eso es frecuente que vayan sufriendo problemas. Las tareas de reparacion´ de nodos consumen mucho tiempo al equipo de administracion´ de CeSViMa y no existen herramientas que agilicen estas labo- res. El objetivo de este proyecto es dotar de cierta autonom´ıa a Magerit para que pueda recuperar de forma automatica´ sus nodos de computo´ sin la intervencion´ de los administradores del sistema.

The work reported in this thesis is concerned with the use of massively parallel computers to simulate the fundamental features at the electronic structure level that control the initial stages of harvesting and transfer of solar energy in green plants which initiate the photosynthetic process. Currently available supercomputer facilities offer the possibility of using hundred of thousands of computing cores. However, obtaining a linear speed-up from HPC systems is far from trivial. Thus, great efforts must be devoted to understand the nature of the scientific code, the methods of parallel execution, data communication requirements in multi-process calculations, the efficient use of available memory, etc. This thesis deals with all of these themes, with a clear objective in mind: the electronic structure simulation of complete macro-molecular complexes, namely the Light Harvesting Complex II, with the aim of understanding its physical behaviour.

For that reason service availability is in central focus of the IT operations management research and practice. This work presents foundations, models, methods and tools that can be used for comprehensive service and business process availability assess- ment and management. As many terms in this emerging ¯eld are used colloquially, Chapter 2 pro- vides detailed background and de¯nitions. The problem of service availabil- ity assessment and management is interdisciplinary, combining ¯elds of fault- tolerance, service oriented architecture and business process management. An- other role of this chapter is to make the text accessible to readers with dif- ferent backgrounds. After the context of service availability has been intro- duced, Chapter 3 presents existing models for availability and performability assessment. The emphasis is on formal availability models, such as combinato- rial (e.g., reliability block diagrams, fault trees) and state-space (e.g., Markov chains, Petri net) models, but qualitative models (e.g., maturity models such as ITIL or CobiT or standards such as ISO 27002 and ISO 12207) are also covered, albeit with limited scope as they are not the primary focus of this work.
