EUPEX webinar – ParaStation Modulo – Managing System Heterogeneity at Scale

We are organising monthly webinars on the results of EUPEX (full programme here). Our seventh webinar will be dedicated to ParaStation a software suite developed by ParTec.

Abstract: Running heterogeneous supercomputers in a highly efficient way at scale is challenging for both system operators and users. The dynamic Modular System Architecture (dMSA) paradigm overcomes those challenges by addressing heterogeneity on the system level. It facilitates efficient resource sharing across diverse computing environments and enhances the performance and scalability of heterogeneous HPC and AI systems.

To operate systems following this architectural paradigm, robust support from the system software layer is essential. The ParaStation Modulo Software Suite, developed by ParTec, provides a comprehensive software stack for the efficient operation of MSA systems used for large-scale scientific simulations and AI workloads.

In this webinar, we will:

* Introduce the dMSA concept and how it addresses the challenges posed by the increasing heterogeneity of current and future HPC/AI systems
* Present the ParaStation Modulo Software Suite, the MSA-enabling software suite that ensures the efficient and smooth operation of large-scale supercomputers for HPC and AI
* Showcase the integration of ParaStation Modulo into the EUPEX software stack

Speaker: Simon Pickartz, Partec

Simon Pickartz leads the Software Architecture & Development group at ParTec AG. His activities cover various fields in HPC and AI ranging from low-level communication in heterogeneous network landscapes to dynamic resource management in modular, disaggregated architectures. Simon is currently focusing on the development of system software to support programming models for the optimal use of supercomputers according to the design principles of the dynamic Modular System Architecture (dMSA).
