• The Modular Supercomputing Facility (MSF) Module 2 now houses an expansion that will bring the Electra computer system from 1.24 petaflops (PF) to 4.78 PF.
• HECC facilities engineers coordinated with Ames Code J engineers and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (formerly SGI) during the installation of the module.
• Module 2 is a prefabricated steel building built in two sections that were lifted into the MSF site via crane and bolted together.
• The electrical infrastructure of the MSF site was upgraded to accommodate the 1.2 MW power draw of the new module.
• Module 2 cools the new Electra systems by circulating water from the adiabatic coolers on its the roof to the computer racks.
• The racks will be connected to the Module 2 power and water supplies during the first week of September, and will be completely operational by the end of September.

HECC Team Enables Measurements of Power Usage by Applications
Mission Impact: Measuring the power used by specific nodes running an application helps with understanding its performance characteristics and whether it has been mapped appropriately to the hardware, enabling optimal use of system resources.
This chart shows the power required by each node for runs of four benchmarks in the standard billing unit (SBU) suite. Note that each of the four runs shows a large drop in power used by the last node. This is due to unused cores on that node.
• The HECC Application Performance and Productivity (APP) team recently implemented a framework for measuring electrical power used by applications.
• The framework builds on the availability of real-time power readings on recent generations of Intel processors (such as Haswell, Broadwell, and Knights Landing) running SLES12.
• The framework consists of:– A new version of MPIProf, which can be configured
to report power usage for an MPI code.– A dynamic library and runtime daemon that can be
invoked from the prologue and epilogue of a PBS job to record a job’s power usage in system logs.
• In the coming months, the APP team will investigate the power requirements of a variety of codes to see how those statistics correlate to application performance, and to understand the power efficiency of different architectures. They will also work with the Systems team to turn on the recording of power usage data in system logs, thereby facilitating the discovery of codes that are not using resources effectively.

APP Team Contributes to Successful Cross-Center Collaboration at GPU Code-a-thon
Mission Impact: The GPU code-a-thon was a very successful cross-center collaboration, and served as a major impetus for application developers to modernize their codes. A key to the success was in pairing teams with industry and other agency experts.
Application teams huddle around large computer screens to work through code modifications for GPU acceleration held at NASA Langley.
POCs: Gabriele Jost, [email protected], (650) 604-0468, NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division, Supersmith; Johnny Chang, [email protected], (650) 604-4356, NAS Division, CSRA LLC
• Teams from Langley, Ames, and Glenn participated in an intensive five-day code modernization effort targeted toward graphics processing units (GPUs).
• HECC provided compute resources with Pleiades GPUs and two mentors from the Application Performance and Productivity (APP) team.
• The success of the code-a-thon was predicated on five key ingredients:‒ Down-selecting to seven highly motivated teams.‒ Pairing teams with expert mentors from NVIDIA/PGI and
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.‒ APP experts to assist with overcoming hurdles in the
utilization of Pleiades GPU resources.‒ Providing at least one expert per team, so that no team
would be waiting for assistance during the event.‒ An event leader who kept everyone “moving” with daily
progress reports and avoiding getting stuck in a rut.• A team studying aero thermodynamic radiation
achieved a factor of 7-10 speedup on a node-to-node comparison when using GPUs; the EDL Trajectory Reconstruction team learned that their code, as currently written, is not amenable to GPU optimization.
• Lessons learned from this very successful event will enable HECC/NAS to host future code-a-thons to further the goal of code modernization across more application teams.

Tools Team Releases and Enhances Remedy Purchase Request Workflow for HECC
Mission Impact: Online entry of purchase requests allows for easier tracking and ensures progress of HECC purchases.
NAS Purchase Request Remedy workflow requires entry of all information necessary to process HECC purchases through NASA processes.
POC: Vidya Bobbiligama, [email protected], (650) 604-4460, NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division, Intrinsyx
• The HECC Tools team developed the Remedy Purchase Request module to facilitate a common input vehicle for requesting HECC purchases. This module will eventually allow tracking of purchases through a variety of NASA purchase processes (such as ACES, ELMT, P-card).
• A Remedy workflow was developed that provides input for description and justification for purchase, budget category, acquisition type, WBS, and vendor quotes; andautomatically identifies the government approver.
• Automatic emails are routed to government leads for online or email purchase approval.
• Charts are available to show group purchase totals during identified timeframes.
• Future development will continue to more closely track the status of purchases as they progress through the NASA processes.

Code42 CrashPlan Selected to Replace ASG Time Navigator for Mac Backups
Mission Impact: CrashPlan will provide HECC staff with a more stable Mac backup solution for their systems and require less ESS administrative support to ensure stable backups.
The new Code42 CrashPlan application will provide an easy-to-use administrator interface that clearly shows usage, licensing, and user information.
POC: Ted Bohrer, [email protected], (650) 604-4335, NASA Supercomputing Division, ADNET Systems
• The HECC Engineering Servers and Services (ESS) team evaluated Code42 CrashPlan to handle staff Mac backups after detecting numerous occasions of corrupted catalogs with ASG Time Navigator.
• The benefits of CrashPlan include: its web-based administration, capability to independently write to multiple backup locations, the association of a backup to a user rather than a system, and a reduced amount of daily maintenance.
• For the evaluation, ESS successfully created 3 virtual machines to simulate a master server with redundant storage locations, backed up and restored several systems, and evaluated IPv4 and IPv6 operability. They replaced the embedded Java with a patchable global Java and fixed incompatibilities with Red Hat 7.
• CrashPlan will be put into production on receipt of the new hardware and software that is currently in the procurement process.

ESS Team Adopts Ansible for Patching and Configuration Management
Mission Impact: Ansible playbooks for system patching and management help ESS to continue to take on the administration of additional systems without additional staff.
Open source Ansible playbooks have reduced the amount of time needed to apply Linux patches to NAS facility user workstations.
POC: Nicholas Hunt, [email protected], (650) 604-4935, NASA Supercomputing Division, ADNET Systems
• The HECC Engineering Servers and Services (ESS) team recently switched to the open source Ansible platform to manage patching and system configuration management of ~350 Red Hat systems at the NAS facility. Easy-to-use Ansible playbooks (scripts) replace more complicated and less effective manual updates and shell scripts.
• Ansible offers the following improvements over our previous processes:‒ Simple or complex playbooks that are customizable
per system, group, requests, etc.‒ Version controlled playbooks.‒ Can be used in conjunction with current scripts to
allow for gradual migration.‒ An “Ensure” option allows rerunning playbooks to
perform functions and test for compliance.‒ Uses SSH and doesn’t require an agent on system.‒ Can run multiple forks instead of looping through a
list of systems.• As our staff become more familiar with Ansible,
additional scripts and processes are being moved to playbooks.

HECC Facilities Achievements for the First Half of 2017
Mission Impact: Maintaining and fine-tuning facility-related resources to meet new and changing demands allows for increased HECC computational capacity and reliability.
Fasteners on the circuit breakers in the power distribution units for Pleiades require periodic torqueing to maintain solid electrical connections for continuous availability—one of many regular maintenance tasks handled by the HECC Facilities team.
POC: Chris Tanner, [email protected], (650) 604-6754, NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division, CSRA LLC
• HECC Facilities team activities for the first half of 2017 included several important achievements beyond new projects:– Adjusted the cooling in Room 190 of building
N233A to allow Merope to increase power consumption by 55%.
– Torqued thousands of circuit breaker screws in PDUs delivering power to Pleiades to preserve continuous compute availability for users.
– Continued to modify (in tandem with Ames Code J engineers) temperature set points and tune the performance of the new N258 cooling tower.
– Generated the design and drawing package for the installation of Module 2 at the MSF site.
– Installed the power delivery infrastructure for the nobackupp1/p2 filesystem upgrades.
– Redesigned the power delivery system to the N258 communications room to provide network connectivity during annual power shutdowns.
• Such efforts by the HECC Facilities team help increase computing capacity and ensure uptime availability for users.

Detailed MHD Simulations Give New Insight into Stellar Dynamics
Mission Impact: These high-resolution simulations, made possible with HECC resources, support NASA programs that seek to understand stars in terms of their dynamics and evolution, along with their interaction with planetary systems and role in the large-scale structure of the universe.
Left: Hinode satellite image of solar granulation. Right: StellarBox image of granulation at a resolution of 25 km/cell. Inset on right: StellarBox image at a resolution of 6.25 km/cell. The Hinode image is near the limit of observational resolution obtainable today. The inset image shows how much more detail is present in the flowfield that cannot be observed but that the NAS research team can simulate. Irina Kitiashvili, NASA/Ames
POC: Alan Wray, [email protected], (650) 604-6066, NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division
• Numerical simulations are crucial to studying the structure and dynamics of stars, since observations from satellites such as Hinode are restricted to the stars’ exteriors.
• Researchers at NASA Ames used two of their in-house developed codes, StellarBox and StellarSegment, to run important and highly accurate radiative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations on the Pleiades supercomputer. – Stellarbox simulates a small rectangular block of stellar
matter that extends a few tens of megameters (Mm) down into the interior and a few Mm up into the stellar atmosphere.
– StellarSegment simulates an orange-segment-shaped piece of a star down to some radius below the surface.
– Both codes use a form of highly accurate radiation transfer calculation that uses light rays that extend in many directions from each point.
• The researchers’ highly parallel programming algorithms enable a new level of accuracy in stellar simulation, while reducing computational costs, which can be extremely high.
• Future work will incorporate these methods into new codes with more accurate stellar geometries, including much larger portions of the stars—ultimately leading to full compressible radiative MHD over an entire star.

Numerical Simulation of Jet and Slat Noisefor Next-Generation Aircraft Design
Mission Impact: These numerical simulations, enabled by HECC resources, play a key role in understanding the dominant noise-generation mechanisms and assessing noise reduction concepts for the design of next-generation subsonic and supersonic aircraft.
An iso-contour of streamwise vorticity (colored by span-wise velocity) highlights the wake generated from the leading edge of an aircraft slat as it impinges on the slat cove region of an aircraft. Jeff Housman, NASA/Ames
POCs: Cetin Kiris, [email protected], (650) 604-4485, Jeffrey Housman, [email protected], (650) 604-5455, NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division
• Reduction of overall aircraft noise levels is a strong component of the design of next-generation subsonic and supersonic aircraft.
• Researchers at NASA Ames used their Launch Ascent and Vehicle Aerodynamics (LAVA) solver framework to run high-fidelity, time-accurate near-field CFD simulations on Pleiades, focused on jet and airframe slat noise. Results include:– Performed validation studies of the LAVA solver on jet
noise and slat noise for predicting noise generation and sound propagation from both jets and high-lift devices.
– Produced high-fidelity datasets to explore the noise-generating mechanisms using advanced post-processing tools also available in LAVA.
– Demonstrated the weakness of several popular hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes/Large Eddy Simulation (RANS/LES) models implemented within LAVA, as the mesh is refined to very fine levels.
• Noise generated by either the jet or the slat was propagated to the far field using the LAVA Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FWH) acoustic module. Large-memory nodes on Pleiades, containing up to 256 gigabytes of memory, were used to efficiently perform this part of the FWH procedure.
