  • 한정된 자원을 여러 사용자에게 공유해야하는 슈퍼컴퓨터와 같은 시스템은 응용프로그램의 실행을 최적화하는 방안이 필요하다. 이를 위해 시스템 관리자가 수행할 응용프로그램에 대한 사전 정보를 파악하는 것이 유용하다. 대부분의 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템 운영에 있어 작업을 실행할 때 사용자로부터 실행 기간, 자원 요구사항들에 대한 정보를 제공 받거나 시스템 사용 통계 값을 사용하여 필요한 정보를 생성하는 등의 프로파일링 기술을 바탕으로 시스템 활용률을 높이는데 활용하고 있다. 본 논문의 선행연구에서는 하드웨어 성능 카운터를 이용하여 소스코드에 대한 별도의 이해 없이 응용프로그램 특성분석을 실행하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 작업 스케줄링 알고리즘을 최적화하는 기술을 개발한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 슈퍼컴퓨터 최적 실행지원을 위한 프로파일링 테스트베드 클러스터를 구축하고 구축한 클러스터 환경에서 하드웨어 성능 카운터를 기반으로 응용프로그램의 특성을 분석하는 프로파일링 기법의 확장성을 실험하였다. 이를 통해 응용프로그램의 문제크기를 축소하거나 프로파일링에 사용되는 노드수를 최소화하여도 개발한 하드웨어 성능 카운터 기반의 프로파일링 기법이 확장성 있게 동작하여 실제 스케줄링 최적화시에 활용될 수 있음을 보이고자 한다. 실험을 통해 프로파일링에 사용되는 노드의 수를 1/4로 줄여도 전체 노드를 사용한 프로파일링 대비 응용프로그램의 실행 시간이 1.08% 증가할 뿐 스케줄링 최적화 성능은 순차실행 대비 최대 37% 향상되었다. 또한 응용프로그램의 문제크기를 축소하여 프로파일링한 결과 프로파일링 데이터 수집 단계의 시간적 비용을 1/4배 이상 낮추면서 최대 35% 성능 향상 효과를 얻었다.

  • Traditional software testing typically uses many physical resources to manually build various test environments, resulting in high resource costs and long test time due to limited resources, especially for small enterprises. Cloud computing can provide sufficient low-cost virtual resources to alleviate these problems through the virtualization of physical resources. However, the provision of various test environments and services for implementing software testing rapidly and conveniently based on cloud computing is challenging. This paper proposes a multilayer cloud testing model based on cloud computing and implements a hybrid cloud testing system based on virtual machines (VMs) and networks. This system realizes the automatic and rapid creation of test environments and the remote use of test tools and test services. We conduct experiments on this system and evaluate its applicability in terms of the VM provision time, VM performance and virtual network performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the VMs and virtual networks is satisfactory and that this system can improve the test efficiency and reduce test costs through rapid virtual resource provision and convenient test services.

  • Dark matter is barely known because it cannot be explained using the Standard Model. In addition, dark matter has not been detected yet. It is currently being explored through various ways. In this paper, we studied dark matter in an electron-positron collider using MadGraph5. The signal channel is e+e- → 𝜇+𝜇-A' where A' decays to dimuon. We studied the cross-section by increasing the center-of-mass energy. Central processing unit (CPU) time of simulation was compared with that using a local Linux machine and a KISTI-5 supercomputer (Knight Landing and Skylake). Furthermore, one or more cores were used for comparing CPU time among machines. Results of this study will enable the exploration of dark matter in electron-positron experiments. This study also serves as a reference for optimizing high-energy physics simulation toolkits.

  • The requirements for computational resources to perform the structural analysis are increasing rapidly. The size of the current analysis problems that are required from practical industry is typically large-scale with more than millions degrees of freedom (DOFs). These large-scale analysis problems result in the requirements of high-performance analysis codes as well as hardware systems such as supercomputer systems or cluster systems. In this paper, the pre- and post-processing system for supercomputing based large-scale structural analysis is presented. The proposed system has 3-tier architecture and three main components; geometry viewer, pre-/post-processor and supercomputing manager. To analyze large-scale problems, the ADVENTURE solid solver was adopted as a general-purpose finite element solver and the supercomputer named 'tachyon' was adopted as a parallel computational platform. The problem solving performance and scalability of this structural analysis system is demonstrated by illustrative examples with different sizes of degrees of freedom.

  • The IEEE 802.15.6 standard is introduced to satisfy all the requirements for monitoring systems operating in, on, or around the human body. In this paper, analytical models are developed for evaluating the performance of the IEEE 802.15.6 CSMA/CA-based medium access control protocol for wireless body area networks (WBAN) under unsaturation condition. We employ a three-dimensional Markov chain to model the backoff procedure, and an M/G/1/K queuing system to describe the packet queues in the buffer. The throughput and delay performances of WBAN operating in the beacon mode are analyzed in heterogeneous network comprised of different user priorities. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed analytical model.

  • The universe is well known to be consists of dark energy, dark matter and the standard model (SM) particles. The dark matter dominates the density of matter in the universe. The dark matter is thought to be linked with dark photon which are hypothetical hidden sector particles similar to photons in electromagnetism but potentially proposed as force carriers. Due to the extremely small cross-section of dark matter, a large amount of data is needed to be processed. Therefore, we need to optimize the central processing unit (CPU) time. In this work, using MadGraph5 as a simulation tool kit, we examined the CPU time, and cross-section of dark matter at the electron-positron collider considering three parameters including the center of mass energy, dark photon mass, and coupling constant. The signal process pertained to a dark photon, which couples only to heavy leptons. We only dealt with the case of dark photon decaying into two muons. We used the simplified model which covers dark matter particles and dark photon particles as well as the SM particles. To compare the CPU time of simulation, one or more cores of the KISTI-5 supercomputer of Nurion Knights Landing and Skylake and a local Linux machine were used. Our results can help optimize high-energy physics software through high-performance computing and enable the users to incorporate parallel processing.
