@HPCpodcast-89: Rick Stevens and Mike Papka of Argonne National Lab

Last year about this time, we had the opportunity to discuss the state of HPC and the Aurora supercomputer with Rick Stevens and Mike Papka of Argonne National Lab. In the run up to SC24, we are delighted to do the same!  Rick and Mike kindly carved out some time to join us for another wide ranging discussion.

We discuss Aurora, Exascale, AI, reliability at scale, technology adoption agility, datacenter power and cooling, cloud computing, quantum computing.

We’d like to encourage you to also listen to episodes 15 and 16 where we discuss AI in science with Prof. Stevens, and epsideo 75 referenced above, just before SC23.

Rick Stevens is Argonne’s Associate Laboratory Director for the Computing, Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) Directorate and an Argonne Distinguished Fellow. He is also a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. He was previously leader of Exascale Computing Initiative at Argonne.

Michael Papka is a senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory where he is also deputy associate laboratory director for Computing, Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) and division director of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF).

@HPCpodcast-88: Mike Heroux of Sandia on ECP, HPC Software

We are delighted to have Dr. Mike Heroux as special guest to discuss HPC software in general and the Exascale  Computing Project (ECP) software efforts in particular.  Topics include performance vs. portability and maintainability, heterogeneous hardware,  the impact of AI on workloads and tools, the emergence of Research Software Engineer as a needed role and a career path, the convergence of commercial and HPC software stacks, and what’s on the horizon.

Dr. Heroux is a senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratories and scientist-in-residence at St. John’s University in Minnesota. He’s been with both of those organizations for more than 25 years. Mike was also the ECP’s Director of Software Technologies. While that project has been completed, Mike’s software work has continued to receive funding. Earlier in his career, Mike was with SGI, and Cray. His focus is on all aspects of scalable scientific and engineering software for parallel computing architectures.

 

SimOps with Peter Ungaro and Burak Yenier of Simr

The “big idea” in this episode is SimOps, an important shift in the industry. Three of the so-called “magnificent seven” (most valuable companies in the world) are already practitioners of SimOps and have helped shape the products that support it.

Peter Ungaro, one of the most celebrated captains of the supercomputing and AI industry, formerly the CEO of Cray, SVP and General Manager of HPC, AI, Mission Critical Systems, Edge, and HP Labs at HPE,  and a board member of Simr, and Burak Yenier, CEO & Co-Founder of Simr, join Shahin Khan to discuss this emerging trend.

Just as DevOps helps traditional software development/deployment become more automated, productive, scalable, and much else,  SimOps does the same for the digital workflow and dataflow associated with product engineering and scientific discovery.  Whether you are designing golf clubs or smart goggles, a bridge, cars, planes, medical devices, or medicines simulation is the norm and defines the whole process.  It will become even more important with the advent of Digital twins, which need to be realistic, which means they need to be built with more math, physics, chemistry, etc.
