Workload characterization is an integral part of performance analysis of high performance computing (HPC) systems. An understanding of workload properties sheds light on resource utilization and can be used to inform performance optimization both at the software and system configuration levels. It can provide information on how computational science usage modalities are changing that could potentially aid holistic capacity planning for the wider HPC ecosystem. Here, we report on the results of a detailed workload analysis of the portfolio of supercomputers comprising the NSF Innovative HPC program in order to characterize its past and current workload and look for trends to understand the nature of how the broad portfolio of computational science research is being supported and how it is changing over time. The workload analysis also sought to illustrate a wide variety of usage patterns and performance requirements for jobs running on these systems. File system performance, memory utilization and the types of parallelism employed by users (MPI, threads, etc) were also studied for all systems for which job level performance data was available.
Traditionally, on-demand, rigid, and malleable applications have been scheduled and executed on separate systems. The ever-growing workload demands and rapidly developing HPC infrastructure trigger the interest of converging these applications on a s
Blue Waters is a Petascale-level supercomputer whose mission is to enable the national scientific and research community to solve grand challenge problems that are orders of magnitude more complex than can be carried out on other high performance com
Improving datacenter operations is vital for the digital society. We posit that doing so requires our community to shift, from operational aspects taken in isolation to holistic analysis of datacenter resources, energy, and workloads. In turn, this s
Software container solutions have revolutionized application development approaches by enabling lightweight platform abstractions within the so-called containers. Several solutions are being actively developed in attempts to bring the benefits of con
The Cloud infrastructure offers to end users a broad set of heterogenous computational resources using the pay-as-you-go model. These virtualized resources can be provisioned using different pricing models like the unreliable model where resources ar
