Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Pavan Balaji Project Name: radix Division: MCS Project title: Scalable Parallel System Software Associated funding: DoE core, SciDAC, NSF, FASTOS Other Systems: breadboard (unlimited) ALCF Mira/Cetus/Tukey (50,000,000 cpu hours) Science: Our mission is to develop the technologies required to dramatically increase the productivity of scientists developing applications for parallel supercomputers. The focus is fourfold: integration of parallel programming tools, reuse of parallel program components, development of scientific computing toolkits and portable libraries, and exploration of requirements of future parallel computers. Project description: This project aims at optimizing MPI usage in deep learning frameworks. A number of jobs in our previous allocation were killed because of network issues, which we report to LCRC. We are requesting for more core hours to help us complete our experiments. We have already submitted two papers on this work and are working on a third paper. Industry partnership: Project URL: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/group/pmrs/ Current FY Hours Used: undetermined amount New FY Requested allocation: 100000 Q1: 0 Q2: 0 Q3: 0 Q4: 100000 Justification: Storage requirements: No large storage requirements, since the data generated will not be persistent. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
