Supercomputers (not only) in science

Supercomputers (not only) in science

We continue into the summer semester with a series of lectures on how scientists use supercomputers in their research. The National Competence Centre for HPC in cooperation with the Computing Centre and the Computer Museum of the Centre of Operations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, organizes a series of popularization lectures on the use of supercomputers in various scientific disciplines. We will welcome a number of speakers not only from the Slovak Academy of Sciences, but also from Slovak universities and other institutions.

Part of the lectures is planned as a sequence focusing on the applications of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Come and listen to Slovak experts and take the opportunity to discuss with them in an informal atmosphere!

We would like to invite scientists, students and also the general public - all those who are interested in the topic of supercomputing. Research and development relying on high-performance calculations has multidisciplinary character and the knowledge of the basic modeling and simulation methods, programming languages and operating systems can be of a great advantage. This semester we will first look at the quantum Monte Carlo methods, considered very promising for utilizing the next generation exascale supercomputers. We will learn about the important role the high performance computers play in weather forecasting. Subsequently, we will focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence topic with lectures covering the basics as well as specific applications.

We plan to organize the lectures in a hybrid mode so it is possible to attend them in person. However, due to the unpredictable pandemic situation and constantly changing rules for mass events, we will inform you about the lecture format via our website and social networks approximately one week before each individual event.

You may look forward to the following lectures and speakers - and we look forward to see you!

Operation systems in multiprocessor clusters

Operačné systémy v multiprocesorových klastroch

10. novembra 2021 sa uskutočnila už štvrtá prednáška série Superpočítanie vo vede. Tentokrát sme privítali Dr. Dušana Bernáta z Fakulty matematiky, fyziky a informatiky Univerzity Komenského so zaujímavou prednáškou na tému Operačné systémy v multiprocesorových klastroch.

Účastníci získali prehľad o základných pojmoch a definíciách, ako operačný systém umožňuje a zabezpečuje prístup aplikácií a procesov k prostriedkom a ako tieto prostriedky spravuje. Dozvedeli sme sa viac o stavoch a zmenách stavu jednotlivých procesov. Zaujímavé boli aj informácie o tom, ako vyzerá politika a réžia plánovača (scheduler), ktorý prístup na CPU procesom prideľuje.

Obr. 1: Diagram stavu procesov

Z hľadiska vysokovýkonných výpočtových prostriedkov nás zaujíma, ako funguje OS v prostredí s mnohými procesormi. Zvyšovanie počtu procesorov je prirodzenou odpoveďou na rýchly nárast požiadaviek aplikácií a súčasne limitov zvyšovania výkonu jediného CPU. Operačný systém teda môže úlohy rozdeľovať medzi viaceré fyzické procesory (alebo jadrá), pričom tieto procesy sú nezávislé a môžu bežať súbežne. Programátori môžu využiť výhody viacerých procesorov a svoje úlohy rozdeliť na viacero súbežných podúloh. Tieto už ale nie sú nezávislé a väčšinou je potrebné, aby medzi sebou navzájom komunikovali. Jedna úloha – proces môže mať teda viacero samostatných tokov riadenia, ktoré nazývame vlákna (threads) a ktoré zdieľajú väčšinu prostriedkov tohto procesu, vrátane pamäte. Z pohľadu architektúry to môže vyzerať ako na obrázku ilustrujúcom schému symetrického multiprocesorového systému (Obr. 2), kde je jedna pamäť zdieľaná viacerými rovnocennými procesormi (architektúra UMA – Uniform Memory Access). Tu je potrebné ošetriť synchronizáciu prístupu k tejto spoločnej pamäti, čo je možné urobiť viacerými spôsobmi. Prístup SMP – symetrického multiprocesingu má však nevýhody ako zlá škálovateľnosť, čakanie pri synchronizácii, tzv. cache trashing.

Obr. 2: Symetrický multiprocesorový systém

Ak fyzickú pamäť rozdelíme na viaceré moduly, dosiahneme menšie zaťaženie zbernice, pretože procesory budú najviac využívať vlastnú lokálnu pamäť. Tento prístup poznáme ako NUMA – Non-Uniform Memory Access. Tu je najvýhodnejšie, ak OS alokuje úlohe pamäť pre dáta čo najbližšie k procesoru, na ktorom úloha beží. Na obrázku vidíme príklad prepojenia 4 procesorov:

Obr. 3: Ukážka 4 procesorového point-to-point prepojenia, konfigurácie typickej pre NUMA

Prednáška pokryla aj tému správy pamäte, virtuálnu pamäť a jej alokáciu – vrátane konceptu overcommit a tému súborového systému a jeho hierarchie.

Operačné systémy a ich fungovanie v HPC prostredí by si určite zaslúžili aj viac priestoru, ako náš formát môže poskytnúť. Ak vás téma zaujala, na Fakulte matematiky, fyziky a informatiky UK na túto tému prednáša práve Dr. Dušan Bernát – a ak ste našu prednášku nestihli, môžete si ju pozrieť na Facebook or YouTube.

NCC Slovakia at the ITAPA 2021 congress

NCC Slovakia at the ITAPA 2021 congress

On November 9th, 2021 the second day of the ITAPA congress took place featuring several contributions focused on high-performance computing as an important tool for enabling innovations, ensuring the competitiveness of economies as well as for supporting security and scientific research. The Slovak National Competence Centre for HPC in collaboration with the congress organizers invited Mr. Gustav Kalbe as one of the keynote speakers. As a representative of the EuroHPC JU he covered this topic from the global and European point of view.

The following panel discussion, organized with the support of the NCC, highlighted the situation in HPC in Slovakia. Lukáš Demovič, who is the director of the Centre of Operations,  Slovak Academy of Sciences - an institution operating the only publicly available HPC infrastructure – spoke about the current possibilities, ongoing projects and ambitious plans for significant expansion of computational capacities in Slovakia. The importance of investments and support of this field was stressed also by other speakers. Prof. Ivan Štich, who is active within the TREX CoEshowed use cases of 2D materials modelling using the QMC method,, which is, thanks to it’s robustness and scalability, especially suited for utilizing the coming exascale systems. Prof. Mária Bieliková from the Kempelen institute of intelligent technologies introduced a newly developed large neural language model for Slovak. She also mentioned the aspect of large energy consumption that comes with many AI applications and models together with the strategies scientists employ to mitigate this problem. Jozef Vivoda described models for numerical weather forecasting, employed and (co)developed at the Slovak hydrometeorological institutetheir level of precision as well as computational demands. Robert Cisár from the Tachyum company and Luboš Kolář from HPE took part in the discussion as representatives from the private sector.

All speakers agreed on the necessity of investing into HPC technologies at the national level and the importance of supporting the whole ecosystem at the same time. The lack of concept on the state level and the lengthy and disproportionately complicated process of public procurement were identified as main problems when planning and purchasing new supercomputers. The National competence centre is focusing it’s efforts primarily on building the supporting ecosystem and raising the adoption of HPC tools and connected technologies across all sectors. Without an available HPC infrastructure, however, this task remains a challenge.

Speakers' presentations:
How is Slovakia doing with supercomputing? – Lukáš Demovič.
HPC and numeric weather forecast in Slovakia -Jozef Vivoda.
Who can afford artificial intelligence today? – Mária Bieliková.
Is a supercomputer suitable only for science? – Robert Cisár.
2D semiconductor modeling by exascale computing methods – Ivan Štich.
The supercomputer is not just about computing power – Luboš Kolář.
Why do we need supercomputers? Discussion.

Development of technology and computer architecture – from 1-processor serial computers to supercomputers

Development of technology and computer architecture – from 1-processor serial computers to supercomputers

On October 26, 2021 the third lecture of our „Supercomputing in science“ series took place on the premises of the Computational centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences  Doc. Šperka, who is also responsible for the Computer museum, showed development of computer architectures and it’s components, such as CPU, GPU and RAM.

Computational power increased thanks to new technologies and innovations in semiconductor device fabrication and enabled doubling the number of components per integrated circuit every two years – this trend is described by the Moore’s law. However, we are now approaching physical limits in this area.

Another way of speeding up calculations is to use parallel approach, supported by today’s supercomputer architectures, including high-speed interconnecting network. Doc. Šperka described the history from the first parallel vector computers and Cray-1 supercomputer up to modern supercomputers.

Lecture series is a joint activity of the Computer museum COO SAS and National Competence Center for HPC. NCC, as the primary contact point for HPC in Slovakia, covers, among other things, educational and dissemination activities in this area.

You can watch the recording of the event on Facebook and YouTube and you can already register for our next lectures. Schedule and registration:

Can we exploit the HPC possibilities in basic research effectively?

Can we exploit the HPC possibilities in basic research effectively?

On October 12, 2021 the second lecture of our „Supercomputing in science“ series took place on the premises of the Computational centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences  Pavel Neogrády from the Department of physical and theoretical chemistry of the Faculty of Natural Sciences CU talked about highly accurate computational methods in the field of theoretical chemistry and about their complexity and numerical intricacies.

There are a lot of HPC users in Slovakia that work with this type of applications and algorithms in their research. As one of the developers of chemical modelling methods Pavel also elaborated on his experience with effective software parallelization and described the main issues in the implementation. Although the computational cost of these methods is prohibitive for modelling larger systems, they are used for calibrating of other methods capable of describing and predicting properties of complex molecules, such as new drugs or materials.
