Abstract：

High-performance computing (HPC) enabled simulation has been widely considered a third pillar of science along with theory and experimentation, and is a strategic tool in many aspects of scientific discovery and innovation. High-performance computing simulations, however, have become highly data intensive in recent years due to data acquisition and generation becoming much cheaper, newer high-resolution multi-model scientific discovery producing and requiring more data, and the insight that useful data can be mined out of large amounts of data being substantially increased. Data-driven scientific discovery has become the driving force for the next-generation supercomputing. In this talk, I will introduce our research and development findings from recent projects. In one project, we are deploying a prototype of new HPC system called Data Intensive Scalable Computing Instrument (DISCI) to address the data-driven scientific discovery needs. In another project, we are developing a decoupled execution paradigm providing the software solution. We are also working on an OpenHPC project to enable the vision of an open-source and extensible HPC platform. I will present our findings, observations, and discuss open questions as well.
