Round the Table Comments

Larry: ISC18

  1. It was good to see real deployments. Sandia's Astra announcement. Arm in top 70. 
  2. We need to continue growing the ecosystem by expanding OEMs, Distros, SW Vendors such as Altair, Bright Computing
  3. Need to hit the ISV side of HPC e.g reference set of recipes. Continue to drive that and the ISV themselves e.g Cadence
  4. SVE has now started to happen

David: ISC18

  1. Great buzz, Going Arm highly attended. 
  2. Lots of interest and momentum in Arm
  3. ISVs being secretive

Eric

Ecosystem hurdles: NERSC supercomputer not going to be Arm because of ecosystem. We need to fix this.

CEA Conscerns on OS kernel front, like Riken keen on hybrid kernels. Something we need to think about

Coral-2 procurement identified areas that were not covered by OpenHPC for vendors that do not have HPC SW stack story it's a problem. Arm have conducted a post mortem areas such as scalability, python, lustre client etc

  •  Eric to share this in next SC meeting on 21st Aug

Hirai

Good to see Post-K system in vendor showdown and Arm HPC ecosystem at the going Arm workshop

Pak

Going Arm workshop was great. Arm HPC picking up momentum which is great

Jacob

Not at ISC18 due to a parallel conference Computing in high energy physics. There has been continuous effort in porting software. mostly ported (80-90%) noone making a jump to to state Arm is product ready in high energy physics. No HW resources.

Functional porting is mostly done. Fine tuning and optimisations for CERN custom high energy applications. Still lots do do here.

AOB Next meetings 

7th Aug - Meetings cancelled

21st Aug - Eric to share findings on post mortem carried out regarding packagings not covered by openHPC

  •  7th Sept - Meeting about Lustre. Bring all the facts regarding Lustre to SC meeting. This is an action for everybody to present the needs, requirements, risks, hurdles so that we can fully understand the problem space surrounding Lustre server and client.
  •  Include Richard Hemwood (Arm) and Oscar and Ross at Oakridge (Eric to connect them up)
