Distributed computing aims to offer tools and mechanisms that enable the sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources in a transparent way. The research done in this team is based on the past expertise of the group, and on extending it towards the aspects of distributed computing that can benefit from this expertise. The team at BSC has a strong focus on programming models and resource management and scheduling in distributed computing environments. Current trends in virtualisation have led to the appearance of Cloud computing, a topic also covered by this team. The activities of the group are mostly performed around the COMPSs project.

eFlows4HPC project aims at providing workflow software stack and an additional set of services to enable the integration of HPC simulations and modelling with big data analytics and machine learning in scientific and industrial applications. The project is also developing the HPC Workflows as a Service (HPCWaaS) methodology that aims at providing tools to simplify the development, deployment, execution and reuse of workflows. The project demonstrates its advances through three application Pillars ...

Provenance registration is becoming more and more important, as we increase the size and number of experiments performed using computers. In particular, when provenance is recorded in HPC environments, it must be efficient and scalable. In this paper, we propose a provenance registration method for scientific workflows, efficient enough to run in supercomputers (thus, it could run in other environments with more relaxed restrictions, such as distributed ones). It also must be scalable in order ...

Sample workflow template that combines simulations with data analytics. It is not a real workflow, but it mimics this type of workflows. It illustrates how COMPSs invokes binaries. It can be extended to invoke MPI applications.
BackTrackBB is a program for detection and space-time location of seismic sources based on multi-scale, frequency-selective statistical coherence of the wave field recorded by dense large-scale seismic networks and local antennas. The method is designed to enhance coherence of the signal statistical features across the array of sensors and consists of three steps. They are signal processing, space-time imaging and detection and location.

Name: SparseLU Contact Person: support-compss@bsc.es Access Level: public License Agreement: Apache2 Platform: COMPSs
Description
The Sparse LU application computes an LU matrix factorization on a sparse blocked matrix. The matrix size (number of blocks) and the block size are parameters of the application.
As the algorithm progresses, the area of the matrix that is accessed is smaller; concretely, at each iteration, the 0th row and column of the current matrix are discarded. ...

Description
Matrix multiplication is a binary operation that takes a pair of matrices and produces another matrix.
If A is an n×m matrix and B is an m×p matrix, the result AB of their multiplication is an n×p matrix defined only if the number of columns m in A is equal to the number of rows m in B. When multiplying A and B, the elements ...
