Progresses in numerical prediction of weather and climate have been in parallel with those of computing resources, especially the development of supercomputers. Advanced techniques in numerical modeling, computational schemes, and data assimilation cloud not have been practically achieved without the aid of supercomputers. With such techniques and computing powers, the accuracy of numerical forecasts has been tremendously improved. Supercomputers are also indispensible in constructing and executing the synthetic Earth system models. In this study, a brief overview on numerical weather / climate prediction, Earth system modeling, and the values of supercomputing is provided.

Astrophysics has been one of the disciplines which utilize actively supercomputers for their researches. In this paper, studies of astrophysical flows by large scale numerical simulations in supercomputers are discussed. The followings are described: 1) characteristics of astrophysical flows, 2) numerical codes to study astrophysical flows, 3) performance of the codes in parallel supercomputers. A couple of examples of such studies are briefly presented: 1) three-dimensional evolution of the nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a magnetized medium, 2) three-dimensional simulations of astrophysical jets in a magnetized medium.

Thanks to the recent development of computing technology, the various forms of high-performance computers are available. Among them, the parallel-clustering CPU machines are realized for the high performance computing. These supercomputers (cluster computers) can be applied to various industries due to the advantages of lower price. Especially in the field of numerical flow simulation, use of supercomputers can produce results quickly, and various engineering problems can be reviewed effectively case by case. In this paper, an application of supercomputers (cluster computers) were examined for railroad industry of fire flow simulation by using parallel computational method.

A revolution in weather and climate forecasting is in progress. This has been made possible as a result of theoretical advances in our understanding of the predictability of weather and climate, and by the extraordinary developments in supercomputer technology. New problem areas have been discovered and different solutions have been found by the recent high performance computers whose performance has been increased rapidly. Such advances in the computational performance may change the strategy of development of numerical models and prediction methods. This paper discusses a brief history and current status of the supercomputers in institutions for research and forecast of weather/climate. The main purpose of this study is to provide the preliminary information about supercomputers such as architecture of system and processor. Such information would be useful for meteorologists to understand the features and the preference of supercomputers in each institution.

전력가격의 상승으로 데이터센터의 운영비 부담이 늘어나는 가운데, 슈퍼컴퓨터에 저전력 프로세서를 사용하여 데이터센터의 전력소모를 감소시키는 연구가 활발하다. 일반적으로 모바일 기기 등의 운용환경을 기준으로 신뢰성 평가가 이루어지는 저전력 프로세서를 슈퍼컴퓨터에 사용하는 경우 상대적으로 가혹한 운용환경으로 인해 물리적, 기계적 신뢰성 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이 논문은 슈퍼컴퓨터 운용 환경을 바탕으로 저전력 프로세서 패키지의 수명을 평가하였다. 먼저 문헌조사, 고장모드 및 치명도 분석을 통해 저전력 프로세서 패키지의 주요 고장원인으로 온도 사이클을 선정하였다. 부하-온도 관계를 확인하기 위해 단계적인 부하를 가하며 프로세서의 온도를 측정하였다. 가장 보수적인 운용조건을 가정하고 온도 사이클에 관련된 고장물리 모델을 이용한 결과 저전력 프로세서 패키지의 기대수명은 약 3년 이하로 예측되었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 저전력 프로세서 패키지의 기대수명을 향상하는 방법을 제시하였다.

We have developed composite measures of supercomputer technology, reflecting various factors of supercomputers using Martino's scoring model. CPUs, accelerators, memory, interconnection networks, and power consumption are chosen as factors of the model. The weight values of the factors are derived based on a survey of 129 domestic and international experts. The measured values are then standardized to integrate measurement units of the factors in the model. This model has been applied to 50 supercomputers, and rank correlation analysis was performed using representative measures. As a consequence, the ranking drastically changes except for the 1st and 2nd supercomputers on the TOP500. In addition, the characteristics of memory and interconnection networks influence the ranking, and the results demonstrate that the proposed model has low correlations with HPL and HPCG but a high correlation with Green500. This indicates that power consumption is an important factor that has a significant effect on the measures of supercomputer technology. In addition, it is determined that the differences between the HPL ranking and the proposed model ranking are influenced by power consumption, CPU theoretical peak performance, and main memory bandwidth in order of significance. In conclusion, the composite measures proposed in this study are more suitable for comprehensively describing supercomputer technology than existing performance measures. The findings of this study are expected to support decision making related to management and policy in the procurement and operation of supercomputers.

The last decades have witnessed an increasingly indispensible role of high performance computing (HPC) in science, business and financial sectors, as well as military and national security areas. To introduce key aspects of HPC to a broader community, an HPC session was organized for the first time ever for the United States and Korea Conference (UKC) during 2012. This paper summarizes four invited talks that each covers scientific HPC applications, large-scale parallel file systems, administration/maintenance of supercomputers, and green technology towards building power efficient supercomputers of the next generation.

슈퍼컴퓨터는 과학, 산업, 국가안보 및 사회현안 해결 등의 다양한 분야에서 중요한 역할을 수행해 왔으며, 빅데이터, AI 등을 활용한 영역에서의 활용이 강화되면서 그 수요는 크게 증가하고 있다. 최근에는 다양한 아키텍처 기반으로 글로벌 엑사스케일 시스템 개발 경쟁이 가속화되고 있어, 머지않은 미래에 엑사스케일 컴퓨팅 시대가 도래할 예정이다. 그러나, 국내 슈퍼컴퓨팅 생태계는 과거 서버산업 쇠퇴로 기반이 유실되었으며, 이를 보완 및 육성하고자 관련 법이 제정되었음에도 그 기능을 원활히 수행하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유관 법제도 분석 및 슈퍼컴퓨팅 생태계 현황 분석을 통해 현행 법제도에서의 문제점을 살펴보고, 정부·국가센터·전문센터의 역할 강화, 산업체 지원, 연구결과의 실용화 촉진, 정부 육성시책의 유연성을 수용하고 연관 법제도에서 슈퍼컴퓨팅 연구개발사업의 추진 근거를 마련할 수 있도록 개선사항을 제시한다.

In the present study, the preliminary results of a large-scale seismic response analysis of a super-high-rise steel frame considering soil-structure interaction are presented. A seismic response analysis under the excitation of the JR Takatori record of the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake is conducted. Precise meshes of a 31-story super-high-rise steel frame and a soil region, which are constructed completely of hexahedral elements, are generated and combined. The parallel large-scale simulation is performed using K computer, which is one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. The results are visualized using an offline rendering code implemented on K computer, and the feasibility of using a very fine mesh of solid elements is investigated. The computation performance of the analysis code on K computer is also presented.
