Power-Capping Metric Evaluation for Improving Energy Efficiency in HPC Applications
With high-performance computing systems now running at exascale, optimizing power-scaling management and resource utilization has become more critical than ever. This paper explores runtime power-capping optimizations that leverage integrated CPU-GPU power management on architectures like the NVIDIA GH200 superchip. We evaluate energy-performance metrics that account for s…

Evaluating HPC Scheduling Strategies for Urgent Workloads
Scientific computing centers increasingly face workloads with diverse urgency requirements, driven by applications that demand rapid or even immediate execution. Appropriately configured scheduling policies can significantly improve both user satisfaction and overall cluster utilization. In this work, we present a systematic analysis of scheduler configurations under scena…

Accelerating Application Bulk Synchronous Writes in HPC Environments
High-bandwidth storage tiers are becoming more common for their capability to absorb high-rate, bursty I/Os. Notably, the designs of these fast storage tiers differ from system to system. The variation of these layers and non-uniform methods of access can pose chal- lenges for applications seeking to run at multiple HPC facilities. Therefore, in this work, we present Spect…

End-to-end I/O portfolio for the summit supercomputing ecosystem
The I/O subsystem for the Summit supercomputer, No. 1 on the Top500 list, and its ecosystem of analysis platforms is composed of two distinct layers, namely the in-system layer and the center-wide parallel file system layer (PFS), Spider 3. The in-system layer uses node-local SSDs and provides 26.7 TB/s for reads, 9.7 TB/s for writes, and 4.6 billion IOPS to Summit. The Sp…
