    Context

    This thesis is placed in the context of NumPEx ( a key national project whose goal is to co-design the software stack for the exascale era and prepare applications accordingly. This thesis will be co-supervised by Inria and CEA , respectively the Inria center at the University of Rennes and the CEA center at Bruyères-Le-Châtel, near Paris. Beyond the supervision, collaborations within NumPEx with the different partners of the consortium are to be expected.

    PhD Advisors

  • François Tessier (Inria)
  • Gabriel Antoniu (Inria)
  • Philippe Deniel (CEA)
  • Thomas Leibovici (CEA)

    • Location and Mobility

    The thesis, co-supervised by Inria and CEA, will be hosted by the KerData team at the Inria research center of Rennes and will include regular visits at the CEA Center of Bruyères-le-Châtel. Rennes is the capital city of Britanny, in the western part of France. It is easy to reach thanks to the high-speed train line to Paris. Rennes is a dynamic, lively city and a major center for higher education and research: 25% of its population are students.

    This thesis will also include collaborations with international partners , especially from the US.

    The KerData team in a nutshell for candidates

  • KerData is a human-sized team currently comprising 5 permanent researchers, 2 contract researchers, 1 engineer and 5 PhD students. You will work in a caring environment, offering a good work-life balance .
  • KerData is leading multiple projects in top-level national and international collaborative environments such as within the Joint-Laboratory on Extreme-Scale Computing : Our team has active collaboration with high-profile academic institutions all around the world (including the USA, Spain, Germany or Japan) and with industry.
  • Our team strongly favors experimental research , validated by implementation and experimentation of software prototypes with real-world applications on real-world platforms incluing some of the most powerful supercomputers worldwide.
  • The KerData team is committed to personalized advising and coaching, to help PhD candidates train and grow in all directions that are critical in the process of becoming successful researchers.
  • Check our website for more about the KerData team here: Mission confiée Introduction Nowadays, there are many scientific fields such as radio-astronomy or weather forecast for example where the need for computing power and data processing capacity goes beyond what current machines can provide. For these workloads, the resources required are such that supercomputers capable of reaching the exascale become necessary. To date, only a few machines such as Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) have this capability, but in the coming months, new systems will be deployed. However, the efficient use of these systems raises new challenges, especially regarding data management. Indeed, even though High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are increasingly powerful, there has been a relative decline in I/O bandwidth . Over the past ten years, the ratio of I/O bandwidth to computing power of the top three supercomputers has been divided by 10 (see Figure below) while in some scientific computing centers the volume of data stored has been multiplied by 41 [1]. This tends to accentuate congestion and performance variability on often centralized storage systems [2,3]. To mitigate that, new levels of storage have been added to recently deployed supercomputers, increasing their complexity. Harnessing this additional storage capacity is an active research topic but little has been done about how to efficiently provision it [4,5]. Thesis proposal Dealing with this high degree of storage heterogeneity is a real challenge for scientific workflows and applications. This PhD thesis proposes to model and simulate heterogeneous storage systems in order to study their behavior, predict their performance and propose innovative algorithmic approaches for better resource utilization.

    • Principales activités

    One of the aims of this thesis is to make better use of storage resources for scientific applications and workflows that are destined to run on exascale supercomputers. Initially, storage systems such as Lustre and DAOS will be studied, modeled and simulated in an existing WRENCH-based [6] simulator, called StorAlloc [5], developed in the team. This study will shed light on the criteria influencing the performance of these systems. Secondly, advanced resource allocation algorithms will be proposed, implemented and evaluated in the simulator to overcome the limitations of existing methods (e.g. Lustre uses the disks of its storage system in a simple round-robin manner). Multiple criteria can be taken into account in those algorithms such as contention or energy. Tools developed by the CEA, including the Robinhood policy engine [7] and the outcomes from the IO-SEA European Project [8] will also be used to validate these contributions on real systems. For this work, a strong emphasis will be put on international collaborations , especially with the University of Manoa (HI, USA), and on national partnership such as with the French SKA team providing a relevant use-case for this work. The candidate will also have the opportunity to be hosted for 3-6 month internships abroad to strengthen the international visibility of his/her work and benefit from the expertise of other researchers in the field.
