11 Computer Science Department Benchmarking, analysis and prediction tools: Computer architecture: Superscalar and VLIW Hardware multithreading Design space exploration for multicore chips and Hw accelerators Transactional memory (Hw, Hw-assisted) SIMD and vector extensions/units Tracing scalability Pattern and structure identification Visualization and analysis Processor, memory, network, system GRID Programming models: Scalability of MPI and UPC OpenMP for multicore, SMP and ccnuma DSM for clusters CellSs, streaming Transactional Memory Embedded architectures Future Exaflop systems Large cluster systems Grid and cluster computing: Small DMM cc-numa Operating environments: Chip Programming models Resource management I/O for Grid On-board SMP Autonomic application servers Resource management for heterogenous workloads Coordinated scheduling and resource management Parallel file system scalability

12 Operations team MareNostrum is managed by the Operations team that takes care of its availability, security and performance. An important task of this team is to support scientists in the usage of MareNostrum, as well as to help them in the improvement of their applications getting better research results. System administration area: includes MareNostrum s pure system administration, security, resource management, networking & helpdesk. User support area: includes direct user support with knowledge in programming models, libraries, tools, applications, etc.

13 What does HPC Support do? The main objectives for the HPC-Support group are : Solve the request of researchers using the BSC HPC-Resources Installation and debugging applications. Enabling and porting codes to the MareNostrum architecture Assist the users to the efficient use of supercomputing resources Optimization and scalability study. Parallelization assistant. Benchmarking Manage accounting information and users accounts.

14 Benchmark Suit The current codes used in the parallel BSC-benchmark suit are : Molecular Dynamics CPMD,GROMACS,AMBER DNS codes LISO Astrophysical simulations GADGET-2 Weather Forecast simulations WRF Others HPCC The parameters used in the benchmark study are : Elapsed time CPU time MFlops per process MFlops per total parallel execution Total Instructions per process Total Instructions per job.

15 Datasets Widely used application: one of the most cpu time-consuming application in the last period in MareNostrum. NAMD, as a molecular dynamics and quantum calculations software; addresses a field which is currently one of the most computationally demanding, in terms of compute load, communication speed, and memory load. MareNostrum's NAMD dataset: Realistic simulation: The system consists in three different proteins interacting with a cell membrane all surrounded by water molecules. Three different problem sizes: small, medium and large.
