Workshop: Innovation Procurement in Horizon 2020 PCP Contractors wanted Florian Berberich Supercomputing Centre Institute for Advanced Simulation / FZJ Florian Berberich 1 www.prace-ri.eu
Challenges:
Aging Society
How we can
Energy address these
challenges?
Food

population
Climate change
Simulation: the third pillar of science
▶ Traditional Scientific - Technical
Paradigm
1. Create a theoretical model
2. Perform experiments and/or
construct a prototype
Galileo Galilei folio 116v (before 1609)

Simulation: the third pillar of science
▶ Constraints
▶ Too difficult (construct bigger wind tunnel)
▶ Too expensive (construct one-way aircraft)
▶ Too slow (wait for the climate change)
▶ Too dangerous (drugs, climate, …)
▶ Computational Science Paradigm
3. Use of HPC resources for simulation of the phenomenon
… based on known physics laws and efficient numerical methods
Florian Berberich 4 www.prace-ri.eu
Why does Energy Efficiency matter? HPC energy wall
▶ Today's most powerful efficient system:
Shoubu System B at 17 GFlop/s/W (Green500 November 2017)
▶ An exascale system based on this technology would consume at least 60 MW
▶ Assuming 0.2 EUR/kWh the electricity costs over 5 years would cost about EUR 500M
▶ Comparison to EuroHPC budget: About EUR 1B for 2 pre- and 2 exascale systems
▶ Energy efficient HPC technology Other Data Centre (Big Data)
World wide Data Centre electricity use forecast for 2020*:
▶ 1031 billion kWh (equivalent to France + Germany + Canada + Brazil)
▶ With a carbon footprint between 259 and 533 MtCO2
▶ Market for energy efficient tech must be sustainable (beyond HPC)
* Source = SMART Global 2020 Make IT Green – Cloud Computing and its Contribution to Climate Change

Goals of the “Whole System Design for Energy Efficient HPC” PCP
• Fostering advances in energy efficiency (major TCO driver for HPC & Big Data)
• Energy wall for Exascale requires an O(100) increase of power efficiency
• Assessment of results through pilots scalable to 100 PFlop/s
PRACE PCP Process and assessment methodology
• 3 phases competitive process:
- Solution design (6 months, funding 10%)
- Prototype development (10 months, funding 30%)
- Pre-Commercial Pilot system (16 months, funding 60%)
• Assessment on “real” application benchmark from PRACE (suitable for PRACE 2)
Expected results and impact
• EU HPC supply industry (80% of R&D must be performed in EU) increase competitiveness
• EU HPC users (academia &industry) get early access to disruptive technology through PCP pilot
• EC and PRACE are learning by doing new public procurement procedure, with high leverage effect
• PRACE procure Intellectual Property (IP) that paves the way toward sustainable Exascale:
- IP is kept by HPC suppliers
- Discount on future IP usage for PRACE members of the Group of Procurers of the PCP

Organisation of the PRACE PCP
▶ Procurers
▶ Five PRACE-3IP partners (CINECA, CSC, EPCC, Juelich, GENCI) and PRACE aisbl as
observer
▶ A GoP (Group of Procurers) was formed and contractually regulated by an agreement
▶ 9 M € Budget contributed by the procurers and EC (50/50)
▶ Governance
▶ Based on the GoP Committee as decision-making entity
▶ CINECA has been selected as the Procuring Entity
▶ Implementation of a coordination between the Procuring Entity and the project
▶ 1st joint international PCP in the context of HPC organised in Europe
assessment of this innovative procurement tool

Main Technical Goals
▶ Energy efficiency in whole system design
▶ Target energy efficiency in whole system design
▶ Contractors free to choose what to optimise
▶ Self-contained pilot system
▶ Allow for results to be tested in an HPC centre with real applications
▶ Architecture suitable for PRACE
▶ Pilot system with 1 PFlop/s, scalable to 100 PFlop/s
▶ Capable of executing representative set of applications
▶ Energy measurement capabilities
▶ Demonstration of improved energy-to-solution of real production applications
▶ Energy efficient technology with sustainable market
▶ Aim for sustainable results

Start of the Procurement
▶ Brussels, 21 Sep 2012: Open Dialogue organised by PRACE
Peanuts !
▶ 45 participants (representing 26 companies)
▶ Some statements from the companies:
▶ “I doubt that the kind of scientific advances you seek can be delivered on a tiny budget”
▶ “…doing the tendering in 2 phases might be the best way to go”
▶ “…when decisions are supplier company/consortium driven, nobody will eventually want to buy
the demonstrators (because they miss the customer demand).”
▶ “…nice R&D goals will be defined by the consortia which everybody likes but which are too far
out. This would lead to technical demonstrators being developed that will not reach a commercial
product state.”
▶ Market dialogue is important (different expectations, new instrument)
Florian Berberich 10 www.prace-ri.euImplementation of the Benchmark Suite
▶ Criteria for Benchmark suite (BQCD, SPECFEM3D, QUANTUM E,
NEMO) + LINPACK
▶ Wide scientific domain coverage
▶ Used in production in PRACE Tier-0 systems
▶ Energy-efficiency references available for contractors
▶ Codes
▶ From UEABS (Unified European Application
Benchmark Suite)
▶ PetaFlop scalability
▶ Active development
▶ Portability on hybrid machines
▶ Machines for validation: PRACE Tier-0 or Tier-1 from PRACE partners
▶ CURIE and JURORA: x86_64 thin nodes (w & w/o GPU)
▶ JUQUEEN: IBM BG/Q
▶ SISU: Cray XC30

Florian Berberich 12 www.prace-ri.euA follow-up Project
▶ HBP - “Whole System Design for Interactive Supercomputing”
▶ Future large-scale simulations within the HBP running on next generation, pre-exascale
HPC platforms will require the possibility for data-intensive interactive simulations, analysis
and visualisation
▶ PCP Timeline: Start in December 2013 with open Dialogue Event
End in March 2017 with Wrap-up Workshop
▶ Benefits of the PRACE PCP experience:
▶ Tender Documents used as reference
Florian Berberich 13 www.prace-ri.euWhat comes next?
▶ PPI4HPC Project
▶ Objective: joint evaluation of the deployed solutions and joint procurement of next generation of
production systems, not test systems or demonstrators
▶ 4 public procurers: BSC; CINECA; GENCI/CEA; JUELICH
▶ Budget: about 73 Mio EUR (EU funding 26 Mio EUR)
▶ Goals:
▶ Foster science and engineering applications in Europe by providing more computing and/or
storage resources
▶ Promote R&I on HPC architectures and technologies in Europe
▶ A greater weight and more impact on common topics of innovation
