Video: How to Talk to Your CFO about HPC and Big Data

By Rich Brueckner | Published April 4, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Rich Brueckner from inside-BigData moderates a panel discussion on How to Talk to Your CFO about HPC and Big Data.

Panelists:

John C. Morris – Pfizer
Dr. George Ball – Raytheon
Henry Tufo – University of Colorado, Boulder
Dr. Flavio Villanustre – LexisNexis

As members of the HPC community, we spend a good share our time sharing our work and best practices with our colleagues. But how do we communicate the business value of high performance computing and Big Data analytics to CFOs who have little affinity to discussions of things like cores, Hadoop, and MPI? In this panel discussion, experts and Big Data and HPC will come together to share best practices and communication strategies that have proven effective when talking to CFOs and other C-level executives.”

Panel Discussion: Big Systems, Big Data, Better Products

By Rich Brueckner | Published April 2, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Bob Feldman moderates a panel discussion entitled: Big Systems, Big Data, Better Products.

Panelists:

  • Devin Jensen – Altair
  • Rene Copeland – SGI
  • Dr. Stephen Wheat – Intel
  • Sanjay Umarji – HP

How will enormous data sets and an endless stream of ever-more granular variables drive supercomputing in the coming years? Will it be like a dust storm that buries us, or flood waters we can redirect and manage? How will it alter the evolution of architecture and subsystems? How will it change computer science education, development tools and job descriptions? And will gargantuan data form a barrier to our evolution to Exascale and beyond by sapping the shrinking resources for funding and creativity?

Video: Latest Developments in Digital Manufacturing

By Rich Brueckner | Published April 2, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Dr. Jon Riley from NCMS presents: Latest Developments in Digital Manufacturing.

Twenty years ago General Motors reestablished manufacturing in China and ever since the complex world of global manufacturing has continued to accelerate. What often gets lost in this race is the need for the supply chain to keep pace. The world’s supply chain is comprised of 2,000,000 small and medium sized manufacturers (fewer than 500 employees) which are being tasked to keep up or shut down. At the same time these critical suppliers are being asked for more innovations, quicker and at lower costs. Unfortunately they do not have the technology required to keep pace. This presentation will present the complexity of the challenge ahead for all manufacturers, the opportunity available to those willing to collaboratively develop a solution and the current efforts at NCMS within their Digital Manufacturing Initiative.

Thomas Sterling Presents: Towards the Exascale Target – the Arrow in Flight

By Rich Brueckner | Published March 30, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Dr. Thomas Sterling from Indiana University presents: Towards the Exascale Target – the Arrow in Flight.

The preceding year has witnessed a strong impetus towards the ultimate US achievement of practical exascale computing through the initiation of research and development programs. There are two trajectories in flight toward this ambitious target in the US, both guided principally by the DOE through an important partnership between the NNSA and the OS/ASCR. One, the incremental flight path through a series of successive petascale systems, is building on step-wise extensions of conventional practices for low risk and minimal disruption to ensure continued US capability growth in performing mission-critical applications throughout the remainder of this decade. The second, the advanced course of revolutionary research, has in its target cross hairs a truly general purpose and easily programmed class of exascale systems. This strategy is enabled by a set of principles that transform a once static methodology to a dynamic adaptive paradigm to advance efficiency and scalability while exhibiting a far more programmable user interface. This presentation will review the important strides made over the last year and describe the significant accomplishments that have been achieved under the guidance of the DOE leadership in establishing key programs that will maintain US competitiveness internationally and leadership at home.

SGI’s Eng Lim Goh Presents: From Extreme Scale Computing to Big Data

By Rich Brueckner | Published March 29, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Dr. Eng Lim Goh from SGI presents: From Extreme Scale Computing to Big Data.

The internet, sensors and high performance computing are some of the top Big Data producers. Recently, there has been increased focus on extracting more value out of these generated data. Analysis of Big Data sets may be simplified as “looking for needle in a haystack” on one end of a spectrum to “looking for relationships between hay in a stack” on the other. We will discuss the architectural platforms and tools suitable for different parts of this spectrum.”

Scientific Discovery Through HPC Simulations of High Energy Density Physics Experiments

By Rich Brueckner | Published March 28, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Don Lamb from the University of Chicago presents: Scientific Discovery Through HPC Simulations of High Energy Density Physics Experiments.

The availability of multi-petaflop computers and the advent of high-power laser systems have created new opportunities to explore the properties of matter at high temperatures, densities, and pressures. This research in high energy density physics is of great importance for astrophysics, material science, and inertial confinement fusion, among other fields. As an example, the generation of magnetic fields by asymmetric shocks is widely invoked as the source of cosmic magnetic fields and is of high interest in inertial confinement fusion. As another example, amplification of magnetic fields by turbulence is a “holy grail” of both computer simulations and laboratory experiments. In this talk, I describe large, multi-scale, multi-physics simulations validated by high-powered laser experiments that are providing new insights into these fundamental physical processes.”

Video: Challenging Large-Data Problems at NASA

By Rich Brueckner | Published March 27, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Dr. Tsengdar Lee from NASA presents: Challenging Large-Data Problems at NASA.

NASA’s observations from Earth-orbiting satellites and outputs from computational climate models have contributed to one of the most data-intensive scientific disciplines today. The Earth system science tries to analyze the data, turns the data into information, makes sense of the information into knowledge and wisdom, utilize the knowledge and wisdom in decision making processes. In every step of the data life cycle workflow (i.e. curation, discovery, access, and analysis), NASA faces tremendous challenges.”

Video: EUDAT and Big Data in Science

By Rich Brueckner | Published March 27, 2013

In this video from the 2013 National HPCC Conference, Wolfgang Gentzsch presents: EUDAT and Big Data in Science.

Big data science emerges as a new paradigm for scientific discovery that reflects the increasing value of observational, experimental and computer-generated data in virtually all domains, from physics to the humanities and social sciences. Addressing this new paradigm, the EUDAT project is a European data initiative that brings together a unique consortium of 25 partners — including research communities, national data and high performance computing (HPC) centers, technology providers, and funding agencies — from 13 countries. EUDAT aims to build a sustainable cross-disciplinary and cross-national data infrastructure that provides a set of shared services for accessing and preserving research data. The design and deployment of these services is being coordinated by multi-disciplinary task forces comprising representatives from research communities and data centers.”
