Permutation testing is a robust and popular approach for significance testing in genomic research that has the advantage of reducing inflated type 1 error rates; however, its computational cost is notorious in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here, we developed a supercomputing-aided approach to accelerate the permutation testing for GWAS, based on the message-passing interface (MPI) on parallel computing architecture. Our application, called MPI-GWAS, conducts MPI-based permutation testing using a parallel computing approach with our supercomputing system, Nurion (8,305 compute nodes, and 563,740 central processing units [CPUs]). For 10⁷ permutations of one locus in MPI-GWAS, it was calculated in 600 s using 2,720 CPU cores. For 10⁷ permutations of ~30,000-50,000 loci in over 7,000 subjects, the total elapsed time was ~4 days in the Nurion supercomputer. Thus, MPI-GWAS enables us to feasibly compute the permutation-based GWAS within a reason-able time by harnessing the power of parallel computing resources.

The SMB supercomputing service provides a supercomputing infrastructure for Small and Medium-sized Business (SMB) to enhance the efficiency of product development activity. In this study, the economic value of SMB supercomputing service is presented. The economic value of service is comprised of a direct and an indirect economic value. A direct economic value was estimated based on the result of user survey on service effectiveness. The input-output analysis method was adopted to estimate an indirect economic value induced from a direct economic value. The future economic value based on the result of user demand survey is also presented. As a result, the annual and future economic value of service were estimated about 55,215 million won and 323,928 million won, respectively.

본 논문에서는 기존의 그리드 컴퓨팅(Grid Computing)에 자율 컴퓨팅(Autonomic Computing)기술을 적용한 자율 그리드 컴퓨팅(Autonomic Grid Computing)에 관하여 연구하였다. 자율 그리드 컴퓨팅 기술 중 자기 구성(Self-Configuration)을 기존의 그리드 컴퓨팅에 적용하는 기법을 새롭게 제안하였다. 장시간 수행 되어야 하는 과학기술 분야의 연산 작업은 연산시간을 단축하기 위해 새로운 노드의 추가와 같은 시스템의 환경 변화를 자동 감지하여 수행중인 연산 작업에 새로운 노드를 추가할 필요가 있다. 제안한 방법은 새롭게 추가된 노드를 연산 작업에 포함하도록 시스템의 변화를 스스로 구성한다. 기존의 그리드 컴퓨팅 보다 시스템의 변화에 보다 잘 적응한다.

In this work, Internet Supercomputing methodology is introduced and the concept is materialized for large-scale finite element analysis. The primary resources of Internet Supercomputing are numerous idling PCs connected by Internet with no regards to their locations. Therefore, it becomes one of the most affordable ways to achieve supercomputing power unlimitedly if the appropriate parallel algorithm and the operating program are developed for this slow network environment. Under the above concept, virtual supercomputing system InterSup I is constructed and tested. To establish the InterSup I system, 64 CPU nodes, which are located in several places and connected by Internet, are conscripted, and parallel finite element software is developed for linear static analysis of structures based on the parallel multi-frontal algorithm. By the established InterSup I system, analysis of finite element structural model having around five million DOFs are solved to check the affordability and effectiveness of Internet Supercomputing.

PCI Express(PCIe) 버스는 시스템 내·외부의 다양한 디바이스들을 연결하는데 여전히 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이 PCIe 버스를 확장하기 위해서 PCIe 스위치가 사용되며 호스트(서버)와 외부 디바이스를 연결할 때 다양한 케이블 미디어가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 광 타입과 구리선 타입의 2종류 케이블이 장착 가능한 자체 제작된 PCIe 어댑터 카드를 사용하여 응용 프로그램 레벨에서 성능을 확인하였다. 서로 다른 2종류의 디바이스들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 성능상의 큰 차이는 발견되지 않아서 케이블의 종류와는 무관하게 상호 운영에 크게 문제가 없을 것으로 예상된다.

Crucial aspects to successfully realizing the re-emergence of a contemporary and sustainable supercomputing community in South Korea will involve the devoted efforts and support from key government and R&D organizations. We suggest various supplementation plans regarding the roles of support for the statutory plan. This includes the committee and the plans which are often missing necessary support systems that help competent ministries to plan properly according to the missions of the research center. This dissertation suggests that adjustment in the HPC trends will depend upon exposing and correcting problems in the law as well as overall improvement of the law. Also, the total development of a super computing market is necessary. The results of these guidelines will create a spread of demand for supercomputing for national IT resource sharing, and will foster the development of supercomputer specialists worldwide. Other major end results include significant increases in research productivity and increased rates of product development.

At the end of 1999, the TeraCluster project in the KISTI Supercomputing Center was initiated to explore the possibility of PC clusters as a scientific computing platform to replace the Cray T3E system in KISTI by the year 2002. In order to understand whether an application is scalable to tera-flops sized cluster system, running test is inevitable. Extensive performance tests using well-known benchmarking codes with real applications' characteristics in them were carried out with different combinations of CPUs, system boards, network devices. The lessen learned shows the relationships between system performances and varied applications' different needs resulting in promises of How-Tos in building large scale cluster system. The 64/16 node clusters with Alpha EV6(466MHz), Pentium III(667 MHz) i inter-node network of Fast Ethernet. SCI[1] and Myrinet[2] were evaluated. More detailed specifications of the Linux clusters are described in Table 1.
