Project Title: Protein Structure Without Purification

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Evans
Purification remains a major technical and temporal bottleneck for protein annotation especially for membrane, filamentous and heterocomplex assembling proteins. If a target protein in a mixed…

SC2006 Lustre Scalability Research

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Evan Felix
Project type
Limited Scope
As seen in the past few years parallel storage subsystems have become larger, requiring tens to hundreds of storage servers, and high-speed networks. There is a growing need for these systems to…

Lustre Scalability Research

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Evan Felix
We propose to continue the work of proposal 20909 by using a raid0 dataset on the cluster

Petascale Institute Virtualized Lustre Scalability Research

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Robert Farber
Project type
Limited Scope
For the following proposal, our plan is to run during MPP2 downtimes to not affect other users. Achieving aggregate bandwidth scaling of storage devices with parallel-distributed file systems is a…

Analysis of POSIX I/O extensions

Lead Institution
Argonne National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Robert Latham
The POSIX I/O API presents challenges with respect to achieving high performance on parallel file systems. We have proposed several extensions to the POSIX API, prototyped them in the PVFS file…

PDSI Novel Scalability Research

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Evan Felix
Project type
Limited Scope
We propose to continue the work of proposal 20909a and 20909 by using mpp2 with client nodes directly on the servers now that that capability does not cause critical failures. We would like to have…

Understanding I/O behavior of Scientific Applications

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David Brown
The future of High Performance File Systems are being written now. To better understand how those file systems are being used and what usage patterns to optimize for is important for file system…

Lustre Scalability Research

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David Brown
This project will be using the Lustre parallel file system during a scheduled down time to test scalability and performance limitations of Lustre and Chinook.

PLFS Testing on Chinook

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David Brown
Many HPC Applications do periodic checkpointing to save state after each itteration of a simulation. Sometimes the scientific application creates I/O patterns that do not fit Chinook very well. In an…

Collaborative Access Team: Pacific Northwest Cryo-EM Center (PNCC)

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Evans
PNNL will create and operate the Pacific Northwest Center for Cryo-EM (PNCC), a state-of-the-art national center for cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) that will rapidly and efficiently collect and…

Open OnDemand Proof of Concept Install

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Evan Felix
The project team aims to install and provide the Open OnDemand Interactive HPC web portal for use on EMSL MSC Supercomputing resources(https://openondemand.org/). This software ecosystem will…

Deploy Lustre as a global Filesystem on the HPCS2 Supercomputer

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Evan Felix
Project type
Exploratory Research
Inorder to support the need of the HPCS2 Computer system, the Lustre filesystem will be used. To Deploy this system research will need to be done to fully balance the IO throughput rates and system…
