Multiplying the Power of Mathematica 7 Over the GRID

-

The IGT, Engineering Software Lab and Wolfram Research are happy to invite you to this interesting Mini Seminar on the subject of:

Multiplying the Power of Mathematica 7 over the GRID

(Plus an introduction to the new computational knowledge search engine Wolfram Alpha )

About the Speaker:

Jon McLoone has worked with Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica, since 1992 on software development, system design, technical writing, and strategy. He supports educational projects in cooperation with universities and government research, and has lectured on Mathematica around the world. McLoone has a degree in mathematics from Durham University, United Kingdom.

A Video recording of a lecture on Mathematica Lightweight Grid systems by Jon can be viewed here:

The Seminar:

Part 1

Multiplying the Power of Mathematica 7 over the GRID:

An introduction to Grid Computing parallel computing and HPC with Mathematica 7 and gridMathematica

The presentation will discuss some of the HPC technologies built in to Mathematica, including optimized data types and algorithms, and will explain Mathematica's parallel programming architecture and scalable, parallel deployment options as well as demonstration of grid capabilities in gridMathematica and Mathematica 7 including live demonstration.

45 minutes, + question/ answer

Part 2

Wolfram Alpha

An introduction to the new computational knowledge search engine Wolfram Alpha

An introduction and discussion on using GRID computing in search engines.

45 minutes, + question/ answer

Cellular Automata - Part II, Using Condor

-
My post on Cellular Automata from January 12 was not put there by mistake. I want to use it as a starting point for a couple of exercises in my Parallel Processing course. In that post I gave a few drawings that differ only by the generating rule number. Today, I am going to show how using the Condor High-Throughput Computing system allows to handle in a very simple way large volume of computations. I used this simple Condor submit file : universe = vanilla executable = nks.py Error = err.$(Process) Output= out.$(Process) Log = log.$(Process) Arguments = $(Process) Queue 256 And was able to compute the whole set of 256 rules (jobs) with the same effort of computing a single rule. I submitted the task to my Personal Condor on my laptop and was not disappointed; After a while I got all the outputs happily waiting for post processing.

The End of Grid Computing?

Image
In the year 2003 the MIT Technology review ranked "Grid Computing" among the 10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World [1]. We are now four years later and something is not going well with "Grid Computing". An indication that there is a problem can easily be seen by looking at the "Google Trends" plot for the term "Grid Computing": (click on the image to get the current trend). This finding can be compared with another buzz word, "Virtualization", which is older than "Grid Computing" and yet is gaining more and more momentum: There is however one exception. The Academic Grid is still having lot's of glory thanks to the huge heavily funded European (EGEE) and other US projects. When LHC data will start to be taken at CERN it will reach it's top importance. But, it seems that for other scientific projects Grid Computing is not going to be such a success. It will remain as "Nice to have" but will never
