123rd Colloquium of Center for Computational Sciences

123rd Colloquium

Title: Foehn winds: causes and impacts

Speaker: Prof. Ian Renfrew
School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK

Date: September 20, 2018 (Thurs)

Time: 10:30 – 12:00

Venue: Center for Computational Sciences, Meeting Room A

Language: English

Abstract:
The foehn effect is well known as the warming, drying, and cloud clearance experienced on the lee side of mountain ranges during “flow over” conditions. Foehn flows were first described more than a century ago when two mechanisms for this warming effect were postulated. In this talk I will present the direct quantitative contribution of these and other foehn warming mechanisms. Our results suggest a new paradigm is required after it is demonstrated that a third mechanism, mechanical mixing of the foehn flow by turbulence, is significant. In fact, depending on the flow dynamics, any of the three warming mechanisms can dominate. A novel Lagrangian heat budget model, back trajectories, high-resolution numerical model output, and aircraft observations are all employed. The study focuses on a unique natural laboratory namely, the Antarctic Peninsula and Larsen C Ice Shelf. In this area foehn flows are prone to jets, which are relatively cool and moist, and wakes, which are relatively warm and dry, i.e. they have an enhanced foehn effect. These foehn jets are a type of gap wind, so funnelled through gaps (or inlets) in the mountain range. Foehn events can be divided into two types, depending on the non-dimensional mountain height. During a non-linear foehn flow, mountain wave breaking and strong down-slope acceleration leads to strong leeside warming, but a hydraulic jump prevents it being widespread. In contrast during a linear foehn event, there is no hydraulic jump and the foehn warming is widespread. Recent research by colleagues into wintertime foehn events and on the surface energy budget of foehn events will also be discussed.

Tsukuba-CCS workshop on “microscopic theories of nuclear structure and dynamics”

Dates and Venues / Invited Speakers / Program / Registration / Organizers / Travel information / Correspondence

Tsukuba-CCS workshop on “microscopic theories of nuclear structure and dynamics” will be held at Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan, December 10-12, 2018.

This is the second event in the series of international workshops on nuclear structure and reactions held at the CCS (the first event was held in 2016.)

The objective of the workshop is to discuss the recent developments of the microscopic theories of nuclear structure and reactions, related advances in computational techniques for the upcoming exascale systems, and to create opportunities for new collaborations. The workshop will cover various topics including nuclear density functional theory and its extensions, nuclear shell model and cluster physics, fusion and fission dynamics, and nuclear reactions of low and intermediate energies.

The workshop will be held right after the 13th International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (NN2018), December 4-8, 2018, in Omiya, Saitama, Japan.

10th symposium on Discovery, Fusion, Creation of New Knowledge by Multidisciplinary Computational Sciences

CCS International Symposium 2018

Dates and Venues / Registration / Program / Access information

Today, computational science is an indispensable research methodology in the basic and applied sciences, and contributes significantly to the progress of a wide variety of scientific research fields. For multidisciplinary computational science based on the fusion of computational and computer sciences, frequent/regular opportunities of communication and collaboration are essential. Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at University of Tsukuba aims at improving such collaborations between different research fields. In this symposium, plenary speakers in various fields of computational sciences will give us talks on research frontiers, comprehensible to researchers and graduate students in other fields. In 2010, the CCS was recognized under the Advanced Interdisciplinary Computational Science Collaboration Initiative (AISCI) by MEXT, and has since provided the use of its computational facilities to researchers nationwide as part of the Multidisciplinary Cooperative Research Program (MCRP). Now, from 2019, this program is open worldwide. In the symposium, recent results of the MCRP (2017 & 2018) will be reported.

122nd Colloquium of Center for Computational Sciences

122nd Colloquium

Title: Graph Processing: The Integration of RDBMS and Graph System

Speaker: Professor Jeffrey Xu Yu
Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Date: August 3, 2018 (Fri)

Time: 13:30 – 14:30

Venue: Center for Computational Sciences, International Workshop Room

Language: English

Abstract:
To support analytics on massive graphs such as online social networks, RDF, Semantic Web, etc. many new graph algorithms are designed to query graphs for a specific problem, and many distributed graph processing systems are developed to support graph querying by programming. In this talk, first, we focus on RDBM, which has been well studied over decades to manage large datasets. We revisit the issue how RDBMS can support graph processing at the SQL level. Our work is motivated by the fact that there are many relations stored in RDBMS that are closely related to a graph in real applications and need to be used together to query the graph, and RDBMS is a system that can query and manage data while data may be updated over time. To support graph processing, we propose 4 new relational algebra operations. The 4 new relational algebra operations can be defined by the 6 basic relational algebra operations with group-by-&-aggregation. We revisit SQL recursive queries and show that the 4 operations with others are ensured to have a fixpoint, following the techniques studied in Datalog, and enhance the recursive WITH clause in SQL’99. Such enhanced recursive WITH Clause can be supported by major RDBMSs. Second, we discuss how to translate such newly introduced operations into a graph system to achieve efficiency.

Oakforest-PACS ranks #1 in storage performance

The Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing (JCAHPC) announced that the storage performance of the Oakforest-PACS supercomputer has ranked #1 in the second IO-500 list released in June 2018.
The IO-500 is a world ranking list of storage performance, which is evaluated by the IO-500 benchmark that measures the storage performance using read/write bandwidth for large files and read/write/listing performance for small files. Storage performance in supercomputers is critical for large-scale simulation, big data analysis, and artificial intelligence. The IO-500 list facilitates to improve the storage performance that greatly helps to improve the CPU performance.

【受賞】スーパーコンピュータ Oakforest-PACS のストレージが IO-500 で世界一位に認定

東京大学情報基盤センター（http://www.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)と筑波大学計算科学研究センター(http://www.ccs.tsukuba.ac.jp) が共同運営する、最先端共同 HPC 基盤施設(JCAHPC:Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing、http://jcahpc.jp)が運用する超並列クラスタ型スーパーコンピュータ Oakforest-PACS のストレージシステムが、2018年6月のストレージ性能ランキングを示す IO-500 リスト(http://www.io500.org)において、世界最高性能を達成しました。
　IO-500 リストは、2017 年 11 月に初めて公表されたリストで、今回が二回目となるストレージ性能の世界ランキングです。ストレージ性能は大規模数値シミュレーションだけではなく、ビッグデータ・AI 処理に極めて重要で、ストレージ性能の向上は、スーパーコンピュータシステムの計算処理を向上させる上で大きな影響を及ぼす要素です。IO-500 では、大規模ファイルの書込・読込性能と小規模ファイルの書込・読込・リスティング性能を測定するベンチマークプログラムを用いてスコアが決定されます。
Oakforest-PACSは2017年11月のランキングでも世界第1位でしたが、今回はスコアを更新し、改めて世界第1位となりました。
