This session will straighten out some and provide Seagate’s perspective on the future of storage solutions.” Bio: Torben Kling Petersen, Ph.D. has worked in high performance computing since 1994 and is currently the Principal Architect for Seagate HPC Storage Solutions. At Sun and subsequently Oracle, he has worked in a number of capacities including lead architect for enterprise datacenter infrastructure for several telecommunication OEMs, technical lead for IPTV, product specialist for high-end visualization, and global architect for the Lustre BdM team as well as the Cloud Computing infrastructure architect.   Torben has worked on many large HPC systems around the world including Sandia Red Sky in the US, ANU/BOM in Australia, CHPC in South Africa, ETH Zürich and many others in Europe. In addition to compute and storage systems, Torben has worked on data center design including the new CSCS datacenter in Lugano, Switzerland.   Dr. Petersen majored in Marine Biology and Biochemisty with his doctorate from Göteborg University, Sweden. MGHPCC BoF 6:00-7:00 in Eden Vale A2 Chair: Chris Hill / MIT EAPS System-on-Chip 6:00-7:00 in Eden Vale A3 Chair: Kurt Keville / MIT ISN Faster parallel Graph BLAS kernels and new graph algorithms in matrix algebra BoF 6:00-7:00 in Eden Vale C1 Chair: Aydin Buluc / LBL Abstract:  I will give an overview of recent research in minimizing communication and hence improving the performance and scalability of one of the most important Graph BLAS functions: the sparse matrix-matrix product. Our new implementation, which does not asymptotically increase the memory requirements for sufficiently sparse matrices, relies on a particular interpretation of the 3D algorithmic paradigm. It also takes advantage of in-node multithreading capabilities using a scalable multithreaded sub- matrix multiplication algorithm. Multithreading is often helpful for reducing network contention.  I will then describe how to map two relatively complex graph algorithms into the language of matrices. The first algorithm, triangle counting, relies on a masked version of sparse matrix-matrix multiplication. The second class of algorithms uses sparse matrix-sparse vector multiplication and semiring specialization to implement various maximal-cardinality matching algorithms on bipartite graphs, showing impressive results on distributed-memory architectures. Bio:  Aydın Buluç is a computational research scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). His research interests include parallel computing, combinatorial scientific computing, high performance graph analysis, sparse matrix computations, computational genomics and neuroscience. Previously, he was a Luis W. Alvarez postdoctoral fellow at LBNL and a visiting scientist at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2010 and his BS in Computer Science and Engineering from Sabanci University, Turkey in 2005. Dr. Buluç is the recipient of a DOE Early Career Award in 2013. He is also a founding associate editor of the ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing.
