Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Justin M Wozniak Project Name: disceng Division: MCS Project title: Discovery Engines Associated funding: ANL LDRD Other Systems: We are using the remnants of PADS for interactive data analysis and visualization. We are also porting APS codes to ALCF resources. Science: The science objectives of this project are to improve data management and analysis techniques for X-ray crystallography and improve experiment analysis turnaround time. This will include data movement improvements as well as novel use of simulation-based analysis. Project description: The initial computational goals are limited: 1) Store/archive data as it comes in from the APS 2) Restore data if data loss occurs on PADS 3) Perform initial studies of scalability of novel DIFFEV/Swift application The programming model used is Swift/T, which executes as an MPI program at run time. The data management will be performed with Globus Online. No known scalability issues exist- Swift/T scales to hundreds of thousands of cores. We plan to experiment with realtime data streaming from experiments at the APS to PADS for visualization using LCRC as a persistent store. We will also experiment with various software integration techniques for DIFFEV/Swift. We have no software requirements above Fusion defaults. No previous runs have been performed- this is very preliminary. The data management operations will include little or no calculation. The DIFFEV/Swift work has the potential to utilize up to 100,000 cores. The existing DIFFEV is known to be very efficient. We expect about 10 project members. No single core runs are planned.
