Abstract:
The USA Exascale Computing Project (ECP) is focused on accelerating the delivery of a capable exascale computing ecosystem that delivers 50 times more computational science and data analytic application power than possible with DOE HPC systems such as Titan (ORNL) and Sequoia (LLNL). As next generation applications and experiments grow in concurrency and in complexity, the data produced often grows to extreme levels, limiting scientific knowledge discovery.
In my presentation, I will talk about the new set of applications and experiments which push the edge of scientific data processing and simulation. I will present some of the exciting new research in this area to cope with this tsunami of data, along with the challenges in implementing these effectively on next-generation computer architectures. In my presentation I will also focus on the ADIOS framework (https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/center-projects/adios/) a next generation to ingest, reduce, and move data on HPC systems and over the WAN to other computational resources. I will also focus on in situ data processing infrastructure and next generation data compression algorithms.
