    In the last few years cloud computing is growing as a dominant solution for large scale numerical problems. It is based on MapReduce programming model, which provides high scalability and flexibility, but also optimizes costs of computing infrastructure. This paper studies feasibility of MapReduce model for scientific problems consisting of many independent simulations. Experiment based on variability analysis for simple electro­magnetic problem with over 10,000 scenarios proves that platform has nearly linear scalability with over 80% of theoretical maximum performance.W ostatnich latach chmury obliczeniowe stały się dominującym rozwiązaniem używanym do wielkoskalowych obliczeń numerycznych. Najczęściej są one oparte o programistyczny model MapReduce, który zapewnia wysoką skalowalność, elastyczność, oraz optymalizację kosztów infrastruktury. Artykuł w analityczny sposób przedstawia wykorzystanie MapReduce w rozwiązywaniu problemów naukowych złożonych z wielu niezależnych symulacji. Przeprowadzony eksperyment, złożony z ponad 10 000 przypadków, oparty o analizę zmienności pola elektromagnetycznego pokazuje niemal liniową skalowalność platformy i jej ponad 80% wydajności w stosunku do teoretycznego maksimum

    Parallel hardware and software implementations for electromagnetic computations

    Cataloged from PDF version of article.Multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is an accurate frequencydomain electromagnetics solver that reduces the computational complexity and memory requirement significantly. Despite the advantages of the MLFMA, the maximum size of an electromagnetic problem that can be solved on a single processor computer is still limited by the hardware resources of the system, i.e., memory and processor speed. In order to go beyond the hardware limitations of single processor systems, parallelization of the MLFMA, which is not a trivial task, is suggested. This process requires the parallel implementations of both hardware and software. For this purpose, we constructed our own parallel computer clusters and parallelized our MLFMA program by using message-passing paradigm to solve electromagnetics problems. In order to balance the work load and memory requirement over the processors of multiprocessors systems, efficient load balancing techniques and algorithms are included in this parallel code. As a result, we can solve large-scale electromagnetics problems accurately and rapidly with parallel MLFMA solver on parallel clusters.Bozbulut, Ali RızaM.S

    Belle II Technical Design Report

    The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected almost 1 billion Y(4S) events in its decade of operation. Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB is under construction, to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8E35 /cm^2 /s luminosity. To exploit the increased luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle detector has been proposed. A new international collaboration Belle-II, is being formed. The Technical Design Report presents physics motivation, basic methods of the accelerator upgrade, as well as key improvements of the detector.Comment: Edited by: Z. Dole\v{z}al and S. Un

    In modern science, the demand for more powerful and integrated research infrastructures is growing constantly to address computational challenges in data analysis, modeling and simulation. The bwHPC initiative, founded by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts and the universities in Baden-Württemberg, is a state-wide federated approach aimed at assisting scientists with mastering these challenges. At the 5th bwHPC Symposium in September 2018, scientific users, technical operators and government representatives came together for two days at the University of Freiburg. The symposium provided an opportunity to present scientific results that were obtained with the help of bwHPC resources. Additionally, the symposium served as a platform for discussing and exchanging ideas concerning the use of these large scientific infrastructures as well as its further development

    The STACEE-32 Ground Based Gamma-ray Detector

    Full text link
    We describe the design and performance of the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment detector in its initial configuration (STACEE-32). STACEE is a new ground-based gamma ray detector using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique. In STACEE, the heliostats of a solar energy research array are used to collect and focus the Cherenkov photons produced in gamma-ray induced air showers. The large Cherenkov photon collection area of STACEE results in a gamma-ray energy threshold below that of previous detectors.Comment: 45 pages, 25 figures, Accepted for publication in Nuclear Instruments and Methods

    Design, Commissioning and Performance of the PIBETA Detector at PSI

    Full text link
    We describe the design, construction and performance of the PIBETA detector built for the precise measurement of the branching ratio of pion beta decay, pi+ -> pi0 e+ nu, at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The central part of the detector is a 240-module spherical pure CsI calorimeter covering 3*pi sr solid angle. The calorimeter is supplemented with an active collimator/beam degrader system, an active segmented plastic target, a pair of low-mass cylindrical wire chambers and a 20-element cylindrical plastic scintillator hodoscope. The whole detector system is housed inside a temperature-controlled lead brick enclosure which in turn is lined with cosmic muon plastic veto counters. Commissioning and calibration data were taken during two three-month beam periods in 1999/2000 with pi+ stopping rates between 1.3*E3 pi+/s and 1.3*E6 pi+/s. We examine the timing, energy and angular detector resolution for photons, positrons and protons in the energy range of 5-150 MeV, as well as the response of the detector to cosmic muons. We illustrate the detector signatures for the assorted rare pion and muon decays and their associated backgrounds.Comment: 117 pages, 48 Postscript figures, 5 tables, Elsevier LaTeX, submitted to Nucl.
