The purpose of this study is two fold. First, we will explore the meaning, spread effect and consideration factors of manufacturing innovation in terms of theoretical perspective. Second, we will verify the status of high performance computing (HPC) utilization policy, and analyze the situation of US and Korea. Manufacturing innovation policy in each country has the objective in common which aims epoch-making enhancing of productivity. Nevertheless it can be characterized as innovation oriented policy rather than simple trial of productivity improvement. For long term growth and employment, the need for reindustrialization instead of deindustrialization should be recognized. Employment may be decreased temporarily and partially due to manufacturing innovation. However net effect of employment increasing will be bigger because of indirect employment. HPC utilization policy has the importance as a separate movement other than as a subset of manufacturing innovation. US government is trying to eliminate the bottleneck elements in adoption of HPC based M&S activity, and to promote the way of problem solving through the mechanism of public-private partnership, in spite of low level of HPC based M&S. In Korea, ecosystem related with the activity of HPC based M&S is needed, and expansion of M&S utilization in manufacturing companies and fostering of M&S supporting institutions will be important for this task.

Two types of cast-in-place concrete-filled hollow PC (HPC1, HPC2) columns were developed to reduce lifting load of heavy-weight PC columns and to improve the structural integrity of joints. To form the hollow PC columns, a couple of prefabricated PC panels was used for HPC1, and special hoops were used for HPC2. Lateral pressure of wet concrete on PC faces was measured while placing the concrete inside the columns. To evaluate the seismic resistance, full scale specimens of two HPC columns and a conventional RC column were tested under combined axial compression and lateral cyclic loading. The test results showed that the structural performance of the proposed HPC columns such as intial stiffness, maximum strength, and displacement ductility was comparable to that of the conventional RC column, but the energy dissipation of HPC2 slightly decreased after rebar-buckling. However, all the test specimens satisfied the energy dissipation requirement specified in ACI 374.

본 논문에서는 지휘무장통제체계(이하 CFCS) 소프트웨어의 성능 향상 기법으로 고성능 컴퓨팅(이하 HPC) 시스템 활용 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법으로 본 논문에서는 HPC 분야인 멀티코어 프로세서를 활용하는 방법을 제안한다. 복잡한 반복연산을 하는 작업이 많은 CFCS의 특정 SW모듈에 대해 멀티코어 프로세싱 아키텍처를 이용한 병렬처리를 적용하여 기존 순차처리 대비 작업실행시간을 단축함으로써 작업 응답시간을 상당히 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CFCS 시험 환경의 일부 특정 SW모듈 상에서 기존의 순차처리 방식으로 수행한 연산 결과와 다중 처리 프로그래밍 API인 OpenMP를 적용하여 수행한 연산 결과를 비교하여 CFCS에서의 멀티코어 프로세싱이 체계 전반의 성능 향상 면에서 효율적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보인다.

포레스터 리서치(Forrester Research)에 따르면 클라우드 시장은 2010년 400억 달러를 기점으로 2020년 2,400억 달러로 성장할 것이라고 예측하고 있다. 급격하게 성장하고 있는 클라우드의 pay-per-use는 그동안 시스템 활용의 한계를 느끼던 HPC(High Performance Computing) 사용자에게 상당한 매력으로 작용하고 있다. 그러나 현재 대부분의 클라우드는 HPC와 접목하기에는 한계들이 존재한다. 본고는 HPC가 클라우드로 이동하기 위해 해결해야 하는 도전과제와 장점을 알아보고, 현재 HPC 클라우드의 산업 현황에 대해 살펴본다. HPC와 클라우드 접목에 따른 HPC 위주의 성능 측정의 문제와 새로운 측정 지수 도입의 필요성 및 HPC가 클라우드로 서비스되기 위해 클라우드가 지원해야 할 요소들에 대해 기술하였다. 제기된 이슈들에 대한 접근이 해결된다면 HPC의 클라우드로의 전환도 머지 않을 것이다.

In order to utilize HPC in Computational science, It is necessary to learn the knowledge and skills of computer science such as programming, algorithms and data structure. In this paper, we investigate IT education status in Computational science and propose policy directions to improve the HPC education through user survey. To do this, we surveyed the current state of IT subjects among major subjects in physics, chemistry, life sciences, and earth science in domestic universities and surveyed the users' Recognition of HPC education. As a result, the ratio of IT subjects in Computational science was very lower than the ratio of major domain subjects. Despite the high educational needs of universities, the educational level of universities was the lowest. Most users have learned the necessary knowledge and skills through self-study. We recognized the role of the university is the most urgent and important, and the role of professional institutions and online education is also important.

With the progress of NGS technologies, large genome data have been exploded recently. To analyze such data effectively, the assistance of HPC technique is necessary. In this paper, we organized a genome analysis pipeline to call SNP from NGS data. To organize the pipeline efficiently under HPC environment, we analyzed the CPU utilization pattern of each pipeline steps. We found that sequence alignment is computing centric and suitable for parallelization. We also analyzed the performance of parallel open source alignment tools and found that alignment method utilizing many-core processor can improve the performance of genome analysis pipeline.

Traditional supercomputing services suffer from limited accessibility and low utilization in that users(researchers) may perform computational executions only using terminal-based command line interfaces. To address this problem, in this paper, we provide the design and implementation details of National supercomputing service framework. The proposed framework supports all the fundamental primitive functions such as user management/authentication, heterogeneous computing resource management, HPC (High Performance Computing) job management, etc. so that it enables various 3rd-party applications to be newly built on top of the proposed framework. Our framework also provides Web-based RESTful OpenAPIs and the abstraction interfaces of job schedulers (as well as bundle scheduler plug-ins, for example, LoadLeveler, Open Grid Scheduler, TORQUE) in order to easily integrate the broad spectrum of heterogeneous computing clusters. To show and validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we describe the best practice scenario of high energy physics Lattice-QCD as an example application.

This paper proposes a novel mechanism called Event-driven Uncore Frequency Scaler (eUFS) to improve the energy efficiency of the HPC systems. UFS exploits the hardware events such as LAPI (Last-level Cache Accesses Per Instructions) and CPI (Clock Cycles Per Instruction) to dynamically adjusts the uncore frequency. Hardware events are collected at a reference time period, and the target uncore frequency is determined using the collected event and the previous uncore frequency. Experiments with the NPB benchmarks demonstrate that the eUFS reduces the energy consumption by 6% on average for class C and D NPB benchmarks while it only increases the execution time by 2% on average.
