Frontier Job-Centric Telemetry Dataset

Comprehensive analysis of high-performance computing (HPC) systems requires linking workload execution to system behavior. This kind of analysis is vital for diagnosing performance issues, managing capacity, detecting anomalous workloads, and understanding how applications interact with system hardware. This job-centric telemetry dataset unifies scheduler job records with node-level measurements, enabling direct association between workloads and their corresponding power, thermal, and performance characteristics. It contains sanitized, scheduler related metadata for 152,400 individual jobs that ran on the Frontier supercomputer and ended on selected days throughout 2024 and 2025, a subpopulation of ~6.8% of the total number of allocated jobs with non-zero run time on the system over that same period. Each is linked with files that contain telemetry time series records of the power utilization and temperature behavior of its allocated nodes and their processors during the run time of the job. Where available, a portion of the job files also contain network performance time series. Jobs are sampled from select days that reflect normal levels of user activity and possess job size distributions with large numbers of leadership class jobs (>20% of Frontier nodes). Jobs in this dataset attempt to best represent successful user workflows.

Enabling Seamless Transitions from Experimental to Production HPC for Interactive Workflows

The evolving landscape of scientific computing requires seamless transitions from experimental to production HPC environments for interactive workflows. This paper presents a structured transition pathway developed at OLCF that bridges the gap between development testbeds and production systems. We address both technological and policy challenges, introducing frameworks for data streaming architectures, secure service interfaces, and adaptive resource scheduling for time-sensitive workloads and improved HPC interactivity. Our approach transforms traditional batch-oriented HPC into a more dynamic ecosystem capable of supporting modern scientific workflows that require near real-time data analysis, experimental steering, and cross-facility integration.

Secure API-Driven Research Automation to Accelerate Scientific Discovery

The Secure Scientific Service Mesh (S3M) provides API-driven infrastructure to accelerate scientific discovery through automated research workflows. By integrating near real-time streaming capabilities, intelligent workflow orchestration, and fine-grained authorization within a service mesh architecture, S3M enables secure and flexible programmatic access to high performance computing (HPC) resources. This framework allows intelligent agents and experimental facilities to dynamically provision resources and execute complex workflows, accelerating experimental lifecycles, and enabling AI-augmented autonomous science. S3M establishes a modern foundation for scientific computing infrastructure that significantly reduces traditional barriers between researchers, computational resources, and experimental facilities.
