Promote entrepreneurship (1/2)

Idea-to-business training• First held in Gothenburg, November 2018• Very early stages, i.e. when founders only have a piece

of technology and an idea of the potential market. • Business Model Canvas• Customer Development Process

Open source innovation camp⇒ Open source natural forum for:• Testing ideas and innovate,• Promoting entrepreneurship,• Fostering industry take-up `• Training more experts in HW and SW

• Supported RISC-V Workshop, June 2019, Zurich

• Eurolab4HPC extends it with additional events together with the FOSSI foundation

• Eurolab also presented prizes to winners of call for contributions for open source HPC projects

Business prototyping projects (BPPs)

8

• Successful projects are mentored using the business model canvas.

• Business model hypotheses iteratively verified or adjusted to come up with business plan

• Eurolab4HPC grant of € 15,000• Typically lasts 3 months

New application and software technologies pull

• Strong scaling evolutionary applications• Importance of legacy codes• Need to adapt for scalability and heterogeneity

• Potential new HPC applications• HPDA: High-performance Data Analytics• Deep learning/neuromorphic• Industrial Internet of Things; Industry 4.0• New expert programming (DSLs)• Approximate computing (concerns SW and HW)• ...

• Need for co-design• Interactivity, real-time and bursting to cloud

16

System software and programming environment

• Sustained increase in system complexity, specialization and heterogeneity => intelligent programming environments

• Complex application performance analysis and debugging• Too many threads to analyse• Big gap between anomalous behaviour and source code changes

• Disruptive models of computation• Will Fortran, C, sockets, POSIX, MPI, OpenMP be replaced? (probably not)

• Convergence between storage and memory• Neuromorphic, resistive and quantum computing

• Task-based, or other programming abstraction?

17

Vertical Challenges: Green ICT, Energy and Resiliency• Green ICT

• Computer systems already consume a large part of our natural resources • Improving PUE (power usage effectiveness) and DCIE (data centre

infrastructure efficiency)• Heat reuse• Environmental impact: reducing CO2, life cycle assessment

• Energy• Energy efficiency: efficient software stacks, libraries• NVM, new materials

• Resiliency• Shrinking increases failure rates: 10s atoms per transistor• Enormous number of components• Compiler level resilience, reliability in runtime and programming models, ABFT

(Application/Algorithm Based Fault Tolerance)

18

Data centre and cloud computing

• Convergence of HPC and cloud computing• Data analytics complement simulation• Science entering 4th paradigm

• 1: theory, 2: empirical, 3: simulation• instrument data (LHC/SKA), simulation data, sensor data, human data

• Warehouse-scale computers• Commodity systems and very low prices• Increasingly shared concerns: enterprise – HPC

• Scale out, dynamic resource management• High utilization, parallelization (multicore, GPU,FPGA)• Low latency interconnect, application resiliency• Infrastructure costs, economies of scale

19

Disruptive Technologies will Push Future HPC

• Sustaining Technology (improving HW in ways generally expected) • Continuous CMOS Scaling • Die Stacking - 3D-Chip

• Disruptive Technology in Hardware/VLSI (innovation that creates a new line of HPC HW superseding existing HPC techniques):

• NVM Technologies (Memristors, STT-RAM)• Photonics

• Disruptive Technology (alternative ways of computing)• Resistive Computing• Neuromorphic Computing • Quantum Computing

• Beyond CMOS• Nanotubes• Graphene• Diamond
