Distributed supercomputing with P-GRADE • Parallel Grid Run-time and Application DevelopmentEnvironment (P-Grade) • The first highly integrated parallel application development system for Grid and clusters • Provides: • Parallel, supercomputing programming • Fast and efficient development • Observation and visualization • Fault and performance analysis • ON CLUSTERS • ON SUPERCOMPUTERS • IN THE GRID
DESIGN: Three hierarchical layers for easy parallelisation Application window Process window Text window
DEBUGGING: Hierarchical control and views to eliminite programming errors
Support for systematic debugging to handle non-deterministic behaviour of parallel applications Automatic dead-lock detection Replay technique with collective breakpoints Active control: generation of Execution Trees Testing parallel programs by temporal logic assertions DEBUGGING: Macrostep-by-macrostep…
MONITORING: statistics and event traces for performance evaluation • Collection of both statistics and event traces • Application monitoring and visualization in the Grid • Evaluation of long-runningprograms based on semi-on-line trace collection • Support for debugger in P-GRADE by execution visualisation
PERFORMANCE VISUALIZATION: Visualization of Event Traces User controlled focus onprocessors,processes and messages
P-GRADE: Stages of Software Development and Execution Design, debugging Performance- analyzis Execution Grid & Cluster & Supercomputer
25 x 10 x 25 x 5 x Application I: Ultra-short range weather forecast (Hungarian Meteorology Service) Forecasting dangerous weather situations (storms, fog, etc.),crucial task in the protection of life and property Processed information: surface level measurements, high-altitude measurements, radar, satellite, lightning, results of previous computed models Result • Requirements: • Execution time < 10 min • Higher resolution
Satellite raw image Receiving image & Processing of satellite images Interpolation to basic GRID Transformation Processing: Altitude of clouds
Job submission TRACE & Results Input P-GRADE in meteorology demonstrated at Euro-Par 2003 conference HungarianMeteorologicalService P-GRADE GUI DB P-GRADE - RS CONDOR-PVM Parallel execution and Monitoring
Monitoring of Workflow Input files Secure data transfer Job Monitoring of Job Workflow support (in the Grid)Illustrated using the meteorological application
APPLICATION II: Urban traffic simulation(University of Westminster)

Summary: Advantages of P-GRADE • Effective and efficient support for each stage of the parallel program development • Fast parallelization of existing algorithms • Reusability of sequential code • Hiding of low level communication functions • Integratedgraphical concept • Predefined communication templates • Support for hierarchical design • Even non-professional programmers can use it(without a steep learning curve) • Portability (supercomputers, PC clusters, Grid)
