mada-tools: MCP servers, configurations, skills, and examples for MADA

MADA-tools (Multi-Agent Design Assistant tools) is a library for defining MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that can be used by AI agents in the MADA project. Each MCP server provides a focused set of tools that enhances an LLM's knowledge and capabilities for a specific domain, for example, how to launch jobs with Flux versus Slurm. The library makes it easy to configure and start multiple MCP servers using configuration files or command line options. Once running, these servers are intended to be consumed by one or more agents in the MADA ecosystem. The system is designed to be extensible so that future projects can contribute their own MCP servers, skills, and toolsets.

Managing genomic variant calling workflows with Swift/T

Bioinformatics research is frequently performed using complex workflows with multiple steps, fans, merges, and conditionals. This complexity makes management of the workflow difficult on a computer cluster, especially when running in parallel on large batches of data: hundreds or thousands of samples at a time. Scientific workflow management systems could help with that. Many are now being proposed, but is there yet the “best” workflow management system for bioinformatics? Such a system would need to satisfy numerous, sometimes conflicting requirements: from ease of use, to seamless deployment at peta- and exa-scale, and portability to the cloud. We evaluated Swift/T as a candidate for such role by implementing a primary genomic variant calling workflow in the Swift/T language, focusing on workflow management, performance and scalability issues that arise from production-grade big data genomic analyses. In the process we introduced novel features into the language, which are now part of its open repository. Additionally, we formalized a set of design criteria for quality, robust, maintainable workflows that must function at-scale in a production setting, such as a large genomic sequencing facility or a major hospital system. The use of Swift/T conveys two key advantages. (1) It operates transparently in multiple cluster scheduling environments (PBS Torque, SLURM, Cray aprun environment, etc.), thus a single workflow is trivially portable across numerous clusters. (2) The leaf functions of Swift/T permit developers to easily swap executables in and out of the workflow, which makes it easy to maintain and to request resources optimal for each stage of the pipeline. While Swift/T’s data-level parallelism eliminates the need to code parallel analysis of multiple samples, it does make debugging more difficult, as is common for implicitly parallel code. Nonetheless, the language gives users a powerful and portable way to scale up analyses in many computing architectures.

Automated pipeline framework for processing of large-scale building energy time series data

Commercial buildings account for one third of the total electricity consumption in the United States and a significant amount of this energy is wasted. Therefore, there is a need for “virtual” energy audits, to identify energy inefficiencies and their associated savings opportunities using methods that can be non-intrusive and automated for application to large populations of buildings. Here we demonstrate virtual energy audits applied to large populations of buildings’ time-series smart-meter data using a systematic approach and a fully automated Building Energy Analytics (BEA) Pipeline that unifies, cleans, stores and analyzes building energy datasets in a non-relational data warehouse for efficient insights and results. This BEA pipeline is based on a custom compute job scheduler for a high performance computing cluster to enable parallel processing of Slurm jobs. Within the analytics pipeline, we introduced a data qualification tool that enhances data quality by fixing common errors, while also detecting abnormalities in a building’s daily operation using hierarchical clustering. We analyze the HVAC scheduling of a population of 816 buildings, using this analytics pipeline, as part of a cross-sectional study. With our approach, this sample of 816 buildings is improved in data quality and is efficiently analyzed in 34 minutes, which is 85 times faster than the time taken by a sequential processing. The analytical results for the HVAC operational hours of these buildings show that among 10 building use types, food sales buildings with 17.75 hours of daily HVAC cooling operation are decent targets for HVAC savings. Overall, this analytics pipeline enables the identification of statistically significant results from population based studies of large numbers of building energy time-series datasets with robust results. These types of BEA studies can explore numerous factors impacting building energy efficiency and virtual building energy audits. This approach enables a new generation of data-driven buildings energy analysis at scale.

PDQ Users Manual Version 1 for PDQ Code Version 1.12

PDQ is a tool for the management of the input and execution of batch jobs for simulation codes that use a text based input system. It accomplishes this goal by operating at two levels. First, it takes input file templates (commonly known at LANL as input deck templates) and creates multiple instantiations by performing substitutions of data from table files into symbols (variables) found in the template. Second, it provides commands to submit the created files to the SLURM batch system for execution. These two activities taken together produce a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts and provides an elegant way of executing studies across multiple similar simulations while minimizing the risk of typographical errors in the input files.

Applied Multi-Mission Telemetry Processing and Display for Operations, Integration, Training, Playback and Event Reconstruction

Conveying spacecraft health and status information to mission engineering personnel during various mission phases, including mission operations, is a requirement to achieve a successful mission. For NASA/JPL spacecraft, that often means displaying hundreds of telemetry channels from a variety of sensors and components emitting data at rates varying from 1hz-100hz (and faster) in a way that allows the operations team to quickly evaluate the health of the vehicle, identify any off-nominal states and resolve any issues. In this paper we will discuss the system design, requirements and use cases of three telemetry processing and visualization systems recently developed and deployed by our team for NASA's Low Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) test vehicle, NASA's Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) orbiter, and JPL's Sampling Lab Universal Robotic Manipulator (SLURM) test bed.

Integrating Interactive Jupyter Notebooks at the BNL SDCC

At the SDCC we are deploying a Jupyterhub infrastructure to enable scientists from multiple disciplines to access our diverse compute and storage resources. One major design goal was to avoid rolling out yet another compute backend, but rather to leverage our pre-existing resources via our batch systems (HTCondor and Slurm). Challenges faced include creating a frontend that allows users to choose what HPC resources they have access to as well as selecting containers or environments, delegating authentication to a MFA-enabled proxy, and automating deployment of multiple hub instances. This paper covers the design and features of our Jupyterhub service.

Evaluation of Best Practices in Mitigating Startup Costs on Leadership-Class Supercomputers

Supercomputers at Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories face a widening range of workloads, from traditional modeling and simulation to Artificial Intelligence model training or complex multi-stage workflows, and beyond. At DOE Leadership Computing Facilities like the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), these workloads demand concurrent access to large portions of the supercomputer’s resources. Launching a job across massive supercomputers is challenging from the start; the file system struggles with a large backlog of metadata requests as tens of thousands of processes read thousands of the same files, and the compute job cannot start until this is completed. There are multiple existing approaches to calm this metadata storm, ranging from vendor-developed tools like sbcast to National Laboratory-developed tools like Spindle and Copper. In this paper, we benchmark and discuss three common approaches to improving compute job launch latencies on Frontier: Slurm’s sbcast tool, Spindle, and Copper. We evaluate these tools by measuring the launch latencies of four workloads: OSU Microbenchmark’s osu_init, Pynamic, Python import mpi4py, and Python import torch. We provide discussion of the results, highlighting data that meet expectations and that do not meet expectations.
