Video: EIOW Exascale I/O Working Group
In this video from the Lustre User Group 2013, Meghan McClelland from Xyratex presents: EIOW – Exascale I/O Working Group.
There is a fierce competition on the storage market to offer the best performing devices, with great management at a low price. The EIOW group, from the outset, decided that it would not attempt to offer an end-to-end solution, which would necessarily involve competing instead of working with storage providers. The focus of EIOW is on middleware to provide, for example, schemas describing data structure and layout, novel access methods to data for applications, a uniform data management infrastructure and a framework for the implementation of layered I/O software, similar in spirit to HDF5 as a specialized use of a parallel file system. We decided EIOW should be open, and have interfaces to layer on lower level storage infrastructure such as object stores, databases and file systems as provided by storage providers, to allow their expertise and leadership in this area to continue to benefit the HPC community.

CSC in Finland Selects TotalView Debugger for New Cray XC30 Super
This week Rogue Wave Software announced that TotalView has been selected by CSC in Finland to debug scientific and research applications on its new Cray XC30 supercomputer.
The CSC continues to leverage Rogue Wave’s tools because they are invaluable to our scientists and researchers. Our users are very impressed with TotalView’s easy-to-use and intuitive features and they are excited about the new reverse debugging capabilities available on the Cray, which will significantly decrease debugging time,” stated Sami Saarinen, Senior HPC Applications Specialist at CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd. “While we thoroughly investigated alternative debuggers, we found the competition to be far behind TotalView’s features.”

Mont Blanc Targets Scientific Applications for Energy Efficient HPC
While many are looking at ARM-based processing as the future of energy-efficient HPC, it won’t get far without applications. Now, the Mont Blanc project has published a list of key scientific apps to be ported to the platform.
The Mont Blanc project aims to assess the potential of low-power embedded components based clusters to address future Exascale HPC needs. Among other objectives, we also aim to assess on the different generation of platforms made available by the project the behaviour of up to eleven real exascale-class scientific applications. These eleven real scientific applications, used by academia and industry, running daily in production into existing European (PRACE Tier-0 systems) or national HPC facilities have been selected by the different partners in order to cover a wide range of scientific domains (geophysics, fusion, materials, particle physics, life sciences, combustion, weather forecast) as well as hardware and software needs.
