Task mapping is an important problem in parallel and distributed computing. The goal in task mapping is to find an optimal layout of the processes of an application (or a task) onto a given network topology. We target this problem in the context of staging applications. A staging application consists of two or more parallel applications (also referred to as staging tasks) which run concurrently and...
Coupled scientific simulation workflows are composed of heterogeneous component applications that simulate different aspects of the physical phenomena being modeled and that interact and exchange significant volumes of data at runtime. As the data volumes and generation rates keep growing, the traditional disk I/O–based data movement approach becomes cost prohibitive, and workflow requires more scalable...
Service-based access models coupled with emerging application deployment technologies are enabling opportunities for realizing highly customized software-defined environments, which can support dynamic and data-driven applications. However, this requires rethinking traditional resource federation models to support dynamic resource compositions, which can adapt to evolving application needs and the...
Emerging exascale systems have the ability to accelerate the time-to-discovery for scientific workflows. However, as these workflows become more complex, their generated data has grown at an unprecedented rate, making I/O constraints challenging. To address this problem advanced memory hierarchies, such as burst buffers, have been proposed as intermediate layers between the compute nodes and the parallel...
Coupled application workflows composed of applications implemented using task-based models present new coupling and data exchange challenges, due to the asynchronous interaction and coupling behaviors between tasks of the component applications. In this paper, we present an adaptive data placement approach that addresses these challenges by dynamically adjusting to the asynchronous coupling patterns...
As applications target extreme scales, data staging and in-situ/in-transit data processing have been proposed to address the data challenges and improve scientific discovery. However, further research is necessary in order to understand how growing data sizes from data intensive simulations coupled with the limited DRAM capacity in High End Computing systems will impact the effectiveness of this approach...
Data staging and in-situ/in-transit data processing are emerging as attractive approaches for supporting extreme scale scientific workflows. These approaches improve end-to-end performance by enabling runtime data sharing between coupled simulations and data analytics components of the workflow. However, the complex and dynamic data exchange patterns exhibited by the workflows coupled with the varied...
