OK to renew this project? Ketan Maheshwari (primary user of this project) is hoping to run some jobs for an upcoming paper deadline. They didn't submit a project report for FY13, but the project started in late May, only a few days before June 1, our stated date for waiving the report requirement, so I'm OK with waiving the report requirement for them.

Hello,

A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information:

Submitter/PI: Raj Kettimuthu Project Name: Concerted-Flows Division: MCS Project title: Concerted Flows: Infrastructure for Data Intensive Science on High Speed Networks Associated funding: DOE ASCR Other Systems: Science: Our objective is to use model-driven approaches to improve the performance of distributed data and compute intensive applications. There has been a significant increase in the number of scientific applications over the recent years. Meanwhile, a wide variety of computational sites have emerged with shared access to users such that a user often has accesses to multiple sites, for each site the user has a limited chunk of resource allocation. Often times, it is not possible or not optimal to execute all the component tasks of a scientific workflow on a single site. Our goal is to develop optimization heuristics to judiciously schedule individual tasks in the workflow to resources at multiple sites to balance the workload among sites and minimize the overhead in data transfer. Project description: Our applications will be loosely coupled - parameter sweep or bag of tasks - often with multiple stages. We have an immediate requirement to evaluate our scheduling strategy for a mineral physics workflow for which we need 65 nodes for several hours to start with. We plan to do several runs of similar types of applications. Expected number of project members is 4.

New FY Requested allocation: 200000 Q1: 80000 Q2: 40000 Q3: 40000 Q4: 40000

Justification:

Thank You,
