LinkSCEEM-2: A computational resource for the Eastern Mediterranean

How it all began  LinkSCEEM-1 project run from – assessment of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources and users in the Eastern Mediterranean countries by HPC resources (status Nov 2012, source Need for additional computational resources (regional survey LinkSCEEM-1) Saudi Arabia - 0.4%, FP7 under Grant Agreement Number:

How it all began Conclusions: Main factors that have hindered the development of computational science in the region limited access to HPC resources limited knowledge on HPC inadequate regional connectivity limited awareness of simulation as a scientific tool  LinkSCEEM-1 project run from – assessment of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources and users in the Eastern Mediterranean FP7 under Grant Agreement Number:

LinkSCEEM-2 - Establish a HPC EcoSystem in the Eastern Mediterranean  Provide access to HPC resources  Provide training in HPC  Raise awareness for HPC research tools  Bring international expertise into the region FP7 under Grant Agreement Number:

Project consortium  Regional research institutions and international centres of excellence in high performance computing (HPC) Coordinator

Project objectives  Integrate regional computational resources  Create user support and training programs  Enable research of particular relevance to the region (Climate, Cultural heritage, Synchrotron)  Build strong links to the European Research Area in accord with the European Neighbourhood Policy

Project Research Themes  Cross sectional research – performance analysis and optimisation for community codes  Climate – development of atmospheric chemistry climate models to study the Eastern Mediterranean region  Digital cultural heritage – imaging and image processing of regional artifacts  Synchrotron radiation data analysis – synchrotron data analysis and simulation on GPU systems Mediterranean and Middle East hot spot of ozone air pollution Polynomial Texture Mapping of a copy of an ancient coin from Petra, Jordan, depicting Alexander the Great or one of his successors

Access to HPC facilities within LinkSCEEM Regionally distributed LinkSCEEM e-infrastructure is being accessed through a joint call  CaSToRC: – Cy-Tera (CPU/GPU cluster) – EUCLID (LinkSCEEM training cluster)  BA: – Sun cluster (CPU cluster)

What Resources are available? CyI Cy-Tera: QDR Infiniband network for MPI 350TB GPFS filesystem 30+ Tflop 36 Fermi GPU 12 Core Nehalem 116 dual 12-core nodes 4GB RAM per core BA core nodes Total peak performance 11.8 TFlops Total memory 1.05 TBytes (132 * 8GB) DDR 10 GBbps network Lustre filesystems Storage: 36 Tbyte

What are the different types of access?  Preparatory access – up to  10K core hours Call always open (apply here)apply here (a) Code Scalability (6 months) (b) Code Development (6 months) (c) Code Development with support (6 months)  Production access – up to  200K core hours (12 months) Two calls each year (apply here)apply here

HPC training opportunities  LinkSCEEM aims to offer training opportunities to new and experienced users  Training efforts focus on – Online training opportunities – LinkSCEEM training events – Educational Access Program 3131

Online training opportunities  LinkSCEEM aims at providing permanently available online training content  wealth of online content already available  all content presented here is freely accessible

Online training opportunities  Overview of recommended online material – LinkSCEEM training portal ( – LinkSCEEM lectures ( – PRACE training portal ( ) – XSEDE User Portal (

Supercomputing Training Portal  Attempts to aggregate and filter material into distinct categories  Recommends content within categories  Provides an environment to browse content from categories while remaining within the website Portal Website

LinkSCEEM training events  A mixture of events to reach new users and provide training in HPC related topics  9 Annual Events – Four 1-day user meetings – One 3-day general user meeting – One advanced 3-day cross-sectional workshop – One 3-day thematic workshop per field (Climate, Cultural Heritage, Synchrotron Radiation)  Fellowships are offered for all workshops  We aim to offer support that covers all basic cost

Educational Access Program  Access to HPC resources for educational purpose  LinkSCEEM offers resources dedicated to this type of access  Euclid is used as the training cluster of the LinkSCEEM Project  Contact us directly at

Important dates  Application close for next production access call 2nd March 2014  LinkSCEEM General User meeting in Cyprus June 2014  LinkSCEEM Synchrotron Workshop in Jordan June 2014
