Architectural requirements for the Red Storm computing system.

Technical Report Camp, William J ; Tomkins, James Lee

This report is based on the Statement of Work (SOW) describing the various requirements for delivering 3 new supercomputer system to Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) as part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) program. This system is named Red Storm and will be a distributed memory, massively parallel processor (MPP) machine built primarily out of commodity parts. The requirements presented here distill extensive architectural and design experience accumulated over a decade and a half of research, development and production operation of similar machines at Sandia. Red Storm will have an unusually high bandwidth, low latencymore »« less

Variable Precision Computing

Technical Report Hittinger, Jeffrey A. F. ; Lindstrom, P. G. ; Bhatia, H. ; ...

This report summarizes the activities and major accomplishments of the Variable Precision Computing Strategic Initiative project. The overarching goal of this project was to initiate and promote a new paradigm in High Performance Computing (HPC) that would fundamentally change how we represent and make use of representations of real numbers in finite precision and that would establish Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) as a leader in precision-related research for HPC. We pursued three integrated and concurrent research thrusts: new, more dynamic data representations to address data motion and capacity limitations; improved mixed precision algorithms to accelerate computation and to leveragemore »« less

Breaking the High-Throughput Bottleneck: New tools help biologists integrate complex datasets

Journal Article Waters, Katrina M ; Singhal, Mudita ; Webb-Robertson, Bobbie-Jo M ; ... - Scientific Computing, 23(4):22-26

It’s not your high school biology lab. Today’s burgeoning field of systems biology takes researchers away from traditional one-gene-at-a-time bench experiments in favor of combining technologies from fields such as genomics, mass spectrometry, imaging, and informatics to advance their understanding of biological systems. The advent of high-throughput (HTP) technologies, such as transcriptomics (microarrays) and proteomics, has been fueling a revolution in biology by enabling systems-level analysis. These HTP approaches are especially promising for characterizing biomolecules at a global scale; however, the large, heterogeneous data sources make interpretation especially challenging. Microarrays—a method used to investigate the expression levels of thousands ofmore »« less
High Power CADRs and Associated Mechanisms for Next Generation CMB Experiments (Final Summary Report)

Technical Report Snow, Michael G.

Continuous Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerators (CADR) have been used successfully as refrigerators with base temperatures below 0.1 Kelvin. Successful applications are rare however, until recently only major government space agencies able to produce them. The are valued for their high thermodynamic efficiency, lack of fluids, and gravity independence, giving them an edge in some applications (like spaceflight) over dilution refrigerator (DR) technology. This effort started as a proposal to make a CADR optimized for terrestrial use in some applications where the same benefits would be appreciated. Observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background with cryogenic receivers was the initial target application wheremore »« less
