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: The project deals with improvements to various system software techniques used by LCRC including programming models (MPI, PGAS, etc.), fault tolerance, I/O and data analytics, visualization, OS and low-level runtime and various others. Several of these projects are deeply related. For example, programming models and fault tolerance research cannot be done independently. Similarly, several aspects of OS and low-level runtime is closely related to I/O and data analytics and programming models research. Industry partnership: Project URL: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/group/pmrs/ Current FY Hours Used: undetermined amount New FY Requested allocation: 2000000 Q1: 500000 Q2: 500000 Q3: 500000 Q4: 500000 Justification: The project will enable scaling results for new techniques developed in these projects. Most of time will be used for scaling results as well as performance analysis at various scales. Most of the jobs are expected to be small (time-wise) but system scales would vary all the way from 1 node to 256 nodes, but there might be some jobs that would take a few hours of runtime (e.g., when we are doing application evaluations with our techniques). Storage requirements: Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
