Supercomputing Applications of the Other Kind: Real-time Parallel Discrete Event Simulations of Large-scale, Smart Infrastructures

IBM T J Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York 2010


Abstract: Ultra-scale supercomputing hardware is a reality, reaching peta-scale recently and now moving to exa-scale. A rich class of applications has however remained largely untapped to reap supercomputing benefits, namely, parallel discrete event simulations (PDES), partly due to technical challenges, and partly awaiting compelling applications. The recent emergence of new visions of a "smarter" and more agile societal operation has clearly opened new large-scale applications that are directly formulated as grand-scale PDES scenarios executed in an on-line, real-time fashion. Our presentation will focus on highlighting the potential for grand-scale real-time solutions, illustrated using our preliminary efforts in four example application areas: (a) state- or regional-scale vehicular mobility modeling, (b) country- or world-scale epidemic modeling, (c) cyber infrastructure and security operations at the scale of multiple autonomous systems, and, (d) country- or world-scale social behavioral modeling. We believe the context is ripe to envision and formulate similar grand-scale solutions in many additional application areas. The technical vision to progress to such an ambitious goal, however, is highly challenging. We outline some of the salient technical issues, challenges, and potential solution directions in meeting the scale and speed demanded by this "other kind" of supercomputing applications.

Abstract: The recent emergence of dramatically large computational power, spanning desktops with multi-core processors and multiple graphics cards to supercomputers with 10^5 processor cores, has suddenly resulted in simulation-based solutions trailing behind in the ability to fully tap the new computational capacity. Here, we motivate the need for switching the parallel simulation research to a higher gear to exploit the new, immense levels of computational power. The potential for grand-scale real-time solutions is illustrated using preliminary results from prototypes in four example application areas: (a) state- or regional-scale vehicular mobility modeling, (b) very large-scale epidemic modeling, (c) modeling the propagation of wireless network signals in very large, cluttered terrains, and, (d) country- or world-scale social behavioral modeling. We believe the stage is perfectly poised for the parallel/distributed simulation community to envision and formulate similar grand-scale, real-time simulation-based solutions in many application areas.
