[LCRC Accounts] Project Allocation Request
by accounts＠lcrc.anl.gov 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: fqiu (Feng Qiu) Project: PSO Title: Power System Optimization Description: Computational methods: Mixed-integer linear programming techniques, including cutting plane algorithms, branch-and-bound scheme, and so on. CPLEX, the solver we normally use, can run in a parallel fashion. That's why each of our computation jobs uses multiple CPU cores. Programming model: optimization models and algorithms are coded with C/ C++ or AMPL language. Algorithms are implemented within MILP solver framework. Scalability issues: Most of our models are highly combinatorial, therefore, in some cases, the branch-and-bound tree in MILP solver can grow very large, consuming a significant amount of memory when data size grows. In our previous experience, A job can run for two weeks until 64GB memory is used up. Therefore, we tend to run each instance exclusively on one node with 64GB memory. We will monitor the scalability issues and adjust the way the jobs are run. Software requirements: MILP solvers such as CPLEX (we have bought the license). C/C++ complier. Performance achieved either on LCRC or other systems: Our programs run for from a couple of minutes to a couple weeks. When the program involves practical data, the computational time tends to be longer(a couple of days, up to 10 days). Sizes of calculations run on and/or planned for LCRC or other systems: The proposed allocation is calculated in the following way: according to our past experience, a project last for 3 months on average. One third of the time is spent on debugging and computation. we tend to run a batch of 10 - 30 jobs with different parameter settings. Each job takes one node (to guarantee the job has sufficient memory). Suppose we run computations intensively for 20 days. Then the total time allocation is 24*20(day)*16(core)*15(job)=115200core hours. Efficiency of the code: The major part of the computation is done by solvers, which is out of our control. Making our code faster is an important goal of our research. Investigation on faster algorithm is part of the research. Expected project members: 1-3 Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 485000 A specific reason has been given: We have several tasks under this project that require machine time, such as the restoration project and the unit commitment project. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

This allocation must be used by the end of the quarter. The Allocations Committee meets 4 times a year to review allocation requests. At the September and March meetings, they review all projects for a 6 month allocation. New project and additional allocation requests are reviewed at each meeting. Project balances are zeroed out at the start of the fiscal year. Allocations given for the first 6 months of the fiscal year become active on the first day of the fiscal year (October 1st). All other allocations given become active immediately. PIs can request more time for their project at any point during the year via the project management web pages. These requests, like the annual requests, are reviewed by the committee in the context of the overall usage of the cluster. ========================================================================== For more information on projects and using the allocation tools refer to the LCRC documentation: http://www.lcrc.anl.gov/requesting-additional-time/ Thank You, support(a)lcrc.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>
