A Comparison of GPU-Accelerated Multiphase CFD Solvers on the Polaris Supercomputer: Part 1

This report is in support of the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE). With INCITE-level resources, one project, titled BubblyFlow, was granted computational resources for the 2025 calendar year on the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). The project aims to conduct simulations to understand the fundamental characteristics of turbulent bubbly flow phenomena in nature. Staff at the ALCF and Argonne’s Computational Science division, along with collaborators at the City College of New York and University of Illinois at Chicago, helped a summer student to assess the accuracy and performance of two high performance computing (HPC) codes. Both codes, ImExLBM and FluTAS, are fundamentally different in their mathematical and numerical modeling. However, both may be used to solve the same physical problem. The collaboration sought to better understand the differences between both codes in terms of accuracy and efficiency. This would ultimately help the BubblyFlow project better utilize resources and establish a knowledge-base of code capabilities in future simulation campaigns. We compare ImExLBM and FluTAS, two high-performance multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers, in terms of physical fidelity, time-to-solution, and parallel efficiency. We validate ImExLBM (Implicit-Explicit Lattice Boltzmann Method) against a canonical benchmark and assess it’s performance relative to FluTAS (Fluid Transport Accelerated Solver), a well-established open-source CFD code.

Quantum Computing Technology Roadmaps and Capability Assessment for Scientific Computing - An analysis of use cases from the NERSC workload

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), as the high-performance computing (HPC) facility for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, recognizes the essential role of quantum computing in its future mission. In this report, we analyze the NERSC workload and identify materials science, quantum chemistry, and high-energy physics as the science domains and application areas that stand to benefit most from quantum computers. These domains jointly make up over 50% of the current NERSC production workload, which is illustrative of the impact quantum computing could have on NERSC’s mission going forward. We perform an extensive literature review and determine the quantum resources required to solve classically intractable problems within these science domains. This review also shows that the quantum resources required have consistently decreased over time due to algorithmic improvements and a deeper understanding of the problems. At the same time, public technology roadmaps from a collection of ten quantum computing companies predict a dramatic increase in capabilities over the next five to ten years. Our analysis reveals a significant overlap emerging in this time frame between the technological capabilities and the algorithmic requirements in these three scientific domains. We anticipate that the execution time of large-scale quantum workflows will become a major performance parameter and propose a simple metric, the Sustained Quantum System Performance (SQSP), to compare system-level performance and throughput for a heterogeneous workload.

HPC Campaign Management: Remote data access with user-defined error bound using ADIOS and ZFP

Remote access to large-scale scientific datasets, like those generated by combustion simulations or other high-performance computing (HPC) applications, presents a significant challenge. Downloading entire datasets is often impractical due to their size and the bandwidth limitations of typical networks. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach that enables efficient remote access to large datasets distributed across multiple facilities. Our method enables technologies to download only the data values of a select variable, in a select region of interest, to a user-defined accuracy. For this purpose, we extended the ADIOS IO library to provide read functions with user-defined accuracy, a remote data server that understands multidimensional selections of specific variables, steps and accuracy from an ADIOS dataset, and which uses lossy compression on the remote site to reduce the data to be transferred back to the client. In addition, our extension of the ADIOS library collects metadata from multiple datasets in small files called Campaign Archives, which can be shared among project participants on any HPC, cloud or laptop, and which can easily facilitate the discovery of content and pointers to the data location as well as remote access to the data by local tools as if data was local. This feature called Campaign Management, enables a group of scientists to manage related datasets stored in multiple files, across multiple facilities as if it was in a single file/database. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach using a 1.5 TB dataset from the S3D combustion simulation on Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Facility. Even a single variable from this dataset, at 64 GB, is too large to be processed on a standard laptop. We show two different reading patterns for 2D plots and 3D visualization, with careful settings that a scientist studying combustion data would do and show that running the same Python scripts on Frontier directly takes comparable time than running them on the local laptop with remote access to the data on Frontier.

Agentic AI vs ML-Based Autotuning: A Comparative Study for Loop Reordering Optimization

High Performance Computing (HPC) applications rely heavily on code optimizations to achieve good performance on modern CPU and GPU architectures. Traditional Machine Learning auto-tuning approaches have demonstrated success in exploring high-dimensional spaces, but they often require expensive compile-run evaluations and lack adaptability for large HPC applications. The recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Agentic AI systems raise intriguing questions about the potential of these approaches to address specific optimization methodologies. This work aims to answer an essential question for the HPC community: “How Agentic AI Systems Compare to Traditional ML Autotuning Techniques?” To address this question, we present a comparative analysis between a traditional ML-based optimization approach and an Agentic AI system, evaluating their respective capabilities and limitations for loop-level optimization. In addition, we introduced a new Agentic AI system named LoopGen-AI using three different Large Language Models: GPT-4.1, Claude 4.0, and Gemini 2.5. A key finding is that LoopGen-AI achieves competitive per-formance with only a few program runs, the reasoning logs from the agents revealed that their decisions rely heavily on the combination of semantic understanding of the target kernel with dynamic feedback from the environment, highlighting a promising new dimension in performance tuning. In contrast, ML-based autotuners focus on statistical exploration, and require orders of magnitude more runs to reach peak performance. Additionally, our analysis shows that prompt engineering, particularly using Persona + Context Manager patterns, significantly impacts the effectiveness of Agentic AI. Our results indicate that while Agentic AI systems are not yet a complete replacement for ML-based autotuners, it can effectively complement traditional methods.

Evaluation of LLVM Flang for Production HPC Applications and Modern Fortran Features

In 2025, LLVM released its first Flang Fortran compiler version considered ready for widespread evaluation. We know of no published assessment of Flang compiling a workload- derived portfolio of high-performance computing (HPC) applications. We address this gap using workload data from the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), which supports more than 10,000 scientists on approximately 1,000 projects. The NERSC workload analyses identify many Fortran components in heavily used applications. We selected 10 such packages with available source code. We compiled them with Flang 22.1.3 on NERSC’s Perlmutter system. Six compiled without code modifications, though some required build-system changes. Three compiled after minor source edits, mostly to address Fortran standard violations. One built only without OpenMP enabled. We evaluated seven additional packages selected for their use of, or enablement of, standard Fortran parallel features: multi-image execution and do concurrent. Six such codes compiled with most or all unit tests passing.

Machine Learning-Based Extreme Data Reduction for Prompt Supernova Pointing at DUNE

One of the goals of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is to use the massive underground liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors at its far site for multimessenger astronomy (MMA), in the detection of neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Its current baseline trigger strategy detects activity in the detector that is consistent with supernova (SN) neutrinos and saves the raw data for further offline analysis but provides no prompt pointing information crucial for optical follow-ups by other observatories. This approach is based on the assumption that prompt pointing determination using raw data is computationally prohibitive. In this article, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept based on applying extreme data reduction on the buffered SN data in the DUNE data acquisition (DAQ) system’s front-end computers using a machine learning (ML) workflow. This reduces the data by ~5 orders of magnitude, allowing a full track reconstruction to be carried out quickly on a single server. The total time to perform the ML-based data reduction and the full track reconstruction is less than the time to transfer the SN data back to Fermilab or a high-performance computing (HPC) center. This shows that prompt processing of raw SN data is possible and, in fact, trivial once the data have been reduced to reject radiological backgrounds, paving the way to a high-quality SN pointing trigger that is based on fully reconstructed data instead of trigger primitives (TPs).

I/O in Machine Learning Applications on HPC Systems: A 360-degree Survey

Growing interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has resulted in a surge in demand for faster methods of Machine Learning (ML) model training and inference. This demand for speed has prompted the use of high performance computing (HPC) systems that excel in managing distributed workloads. Because data is the main fuel for AI applications, the performance of the storage and I/O subsystem of HPC systems is critical. In the past, HPC applications accessed large portions of data written by simulations or experiments or ingested data for visualizations or analysis tasks. ML workloads perform small reads spread across a large number of random files. This shift of I/O access patterns poses several challenges to modern parallel storage systems. In this paper, we survey I/O in ML applications on HPC systems, and target literature within a 6-year time window from 2019 to 2024. We define the scope of the survey, provide an overview of the common phases of ML, review available profilers and benchmarks, examine the I/O patterns encountered during offline data preparation, training, and inference, and explore I/O optimizations utilized in modern ML frameworks and proposed in recent literature. Lastly, we seek to expose research gaps that could spawn further R&D.

Creating Apptainer Workflows with Docker-Compose-like Utilities

Creating Apptainer Workflows with Docker-Compose-like Utilities In this presentation, I will explore the utilization of a tool called process-compose, inspired by docker-compose, to create Apptainer-based services. This approach allows for easy deployment and management of fully containerized applications on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems without requiring elevated privileges. Benefits to the Ecosystem: By incorporating process-compose and Apptainer, I aim to address several key challenges in the HPC ecosystem: Simplified Workflow Management: Process-compose provides a user-friendly interface for defining and managing complex containerized application services, reducing the setup time and lowering the barrier to entry for new users. Enhanced Portability: Apptainer ensures that containerized applications can run consistently across different HPC environments, promoting greater portability and reducing compatibility issues. Process-compose is also a single binary that does not need to be installed by admin level users. Community Driven Solutions: This approach aligns with the goals of the High Performance Software Foundation (HPSF) to advance community-driven solutions. By sharing our experiences and insights, I hope to foster collaboration and innovation within the HPC community. Increased Productivity: The combination of process-compose and Apptainer streamlines the serve deployment process, allowing researchers and developers to focus more on their scientific work rather than the intricacies of system or service administration. Through this presentation, attendees will gain valuable insights into the practical implementation of containerized workflows on HPC systems, learn about the benefits of using process-compose and Apptainer, and understand how these tools can contribute to a more efficient HPC ecosystem.

ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE METHODS AND PROTOCOLS WITH APPLICATION TO DYNAMICS, KINETICS AND THERMOCHEMISTRY

Hydrocarbon combustion involves the reaction dynamics of a tremendous number of species beginning with many-component fuel mixtures and proceeding via a complex system of intermediates to form primary and secondary products. Combustion conditions corresponding to new advanced engines and/or alternative fuels rely increasingly on autoignition and low-temperature-combustion chemistry. In these regimes various transient radical species such as HO2, ROO·, ·QOOH, HCO, NO2, HOCO, and Criegee intermediates play important roles in determining the detailed as well as more general dynamics. A clear understanding and accurate representation of these processes is needed for effective modeling. Given the difficulties associated with making reliable experimental measurements of these systems, computation can play an important role in developing these energy technologies. Accurate calculations have their own challenges since even within the simplest dynamical approximations such as transition state theory, the rates depend exponentially on critical barrier heights and these may be sensitive to the level of quantum chemistry. Moreover, it is well-known that in many cases it is necessary to go beyond statistical theories and consider the dynamics. Quantum tunneling, resonances, radiative transitions, and non-adiabatic effects governed by spin-orbit or derivative coupling can be determining factors in those dynamics. Building upon progress made during a period of prior support through the DOE Early Career Program, this project combines developments in the areas of potential energy surface (PES) fitting and multistate multireference quantum chemistry to allow spectroscopically and dynamically/kinetically accurate investigations of key molecular systems (such as those mentioned above), many of which are radicals with strong multireference character and have the possibility of multiple electronic states contributing to the observed dynamics. An ongoing area of investigation is to develop general strategies for robustly convergent electronic structure theory for global multichannel reactive surfaces including diabatization of energy and other relevant surfaces such as dipole transition. Combining advances in ab initio methods with automated interpolative PES fitting allows the construction of high-quality PESs (incorporating thousands of high-level data) to be done rapidly through parallel processing on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. In addition, new methods and approaches to electronic structure theory will be developed and tested through applications. This project will explore limitations in traditional multireference calculations (e.g., MRCI) such as those imposed by internal contraction, lack of high-order correlation treatment and poor scaling. Methods such as DMRG-based extended active-space CASSCF and various Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods will be applied (including VMC/DMC and FCIQMC). Insight into the relative significance of different orbital spaces and the robustness of application of these approaches on leadership class computing architectures will be gained. Synergy with other components of this research program such as automated PES fitting and multireference quantum chemistry will be used to address challenges encountered by the standard approaches to computational thermochemistry (those being single-reference quantum chemistry and perturbative treatments of the anharmonic vibrational energy, which break down for some cases of electronic structure or floppy strongly coupled vibrational modes).

Generic Discretization Library

The GenDiL library is a collection of C++ software abstractions designed to discretize and solve partial differential equations (PDEs) for high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Its primary focus is on modern C++ generic programming, which helps ensure portability across various hardware architectures. The central idea behind the library is to provide building blocks for numerical algorithms-such as discretization methods and iteration patterns-so that domain experts can focus on the math, rather than the low-level details of hardware or implementation. By defining abstractions for data types, iteration over computational grids, and scheduling of operations, the library isolates the high-level PDE algorithms from the platform-specific optimizations needed to achieve efficient performance.

Electronic structure simulations in the cloud computing environment

The transformative impact of modern computational paradigms and technologies, such as high-performance computing, quantum computing, and cloud computing, has opened up profound new opportunities for scientific simulations. Scalable computational chemistry is one beneficiary of this technological progress. The main focus of this paper is on the performance of various quantum chemical formulations, ranging from low-order methods to high-accuracy approaches, implemented in different computational chemistry packages, such as NWChem, NWChemEx, SPEC, ExaChem, and FLOSIC codes on the Azure Quantum Element (AQE) Microsoft cloud services. We pay particular attention to the intricate workflows for performing composite chemistry simulations, associated data curation, and mechanisms for accuracy assessment, as defined by the enabling cloud Computational Chemistry as a Service (CCaaS). Our focus also extends to Arrows' automated workflow for high throughput simulations. Finally, we provide a perspective on the role of cloud computing in supporting the mission of leadership computational facilities (LCFs).

Integrating HPC simulations and physical experiments to characterize the effects of gamma radiation on seismic protective devices

Seismic protective systems, composed of seismic isolators and dampers, can substantially reduce the effects of earthquake shaking on nuclear power plants and components therein. To enable the use of these devices to protect equipment inside a plant and close to a source of radiation, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded a project at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the University at Buffalo to characterize the effects of absorbed gamma dose on their mechanical properties. An early task in the project was to determine the exposure time required in the INL Foss Therapy Services (FTS) 60 Co gamma irradiator to achieve a target absorbed dose in the materials used to construct isolators and dampers, including fluids, polymers, composites, and metals. This task required the novel integration of high-performance computing (HPC), Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulations, and irradiation experiments using Fricke dosimetry. An MCNP model of the FTS irradiator at INL was developed and validated using Fricke dosimetry. Simulations of three experiments in the irradiator, two with Fricke vials only and one with Fricke vials and a large-size isolator, predicted the Fricke-measured absorbed dose rate to within 15% in all three cases, providing high confidence in the calculation of the gamma dose absorbed in the materials comprising the seismic protective devices. The simulations demonstrated that the effects of photon scattering on absorbed dose rate in the FTS irradiator are negligible for test articles installed close to the cobalt sources and near the rear of the irradiator. The validated MCNP model of the FTS irradiator is being used to support ongoing DOE-funded experiments on seismic protective devices and could be applied to future, non-seismic-related experiments. In conclusion, the novel validation process successfully deployed for the FTS irradiator at INL could be applied to other irradiators, requiring new MCNP models and simulations, and irradiation experiments using dosimeters.

Microgrid Integration with High Performance Computing Systems for Microreactor Operation

Multiple nuclear microreactor concepts are currently being developed across several sizes and fuel types with high performance computing (HPC) systems anticipated to be end-users of the power. Nuclear microreactors are small in size, portable, produce less than 10 MW electric, operate autonomously, and have a refueling interval of as many as 10 years. However, their load-follow is also generally limited to 10%/minute or worse whereas the power variance in HPC systems easily exceeds this constraint under normal operations. This study explores an approach that requires no load-follow from the microreactor but integrates the HPC system with a microgrid built from commercial-off-the-shelf components. Three typical HPC architectures are explored in the context of microgrid operation in this study. Components of power quality and transient response are empirically measured for five different HPC load-follow response levels using a self-contained mobile datacenter connected to the microgrid capable of integration with a nuclear microreactor.

Studying CPU and memory utilization of applications on Fujitsu A64FX and Nvidia Grace Superchip

ARM-based manycore CPU architectures are well-positioned to provide the rising memory throughput requirements of modern data intensive scientific applications in High Performance Computing (HPC). The Fujitsu A64FX CPU platform is based on the ARM v8.2A architecture, and is the processor of the flagship Japanese supercomputer - "Fugaku", which was previously ranked as the #1 supercomputer in the world according to the Top500 list. The Nvidia Grace superchip features 144 Neoverse V2 cores based on the ARMv9 architecture with 4x128b SVE2, providing exceptional computational power. The chip supports up to 480GB of memory, making it ideal for AI, machine learning, and scientific computing workloads. In this paper, we conduct a thorough performance exploration of a variety of parallel bandwidth-sensitive benchmarks and applications compiled with the native Fujitsu compiler on a Fugaku A64FX compute node and ARM (LLVM) Compiler on an NVIDIA Grace superchip compute node, engaging all the computational cores per cluster using OpenMP multithreading (assuming the cores can drive the available bandwidth). Our ultimate goals are to study the resource utilization of scientific applications and benchmarks on A64FX and Grace superchip, considering graph application scenarios ( GAP Benchmark suite) and eleven appli- cation proxies from the Rodinia heterogeneous benchmark suite (considering domains such as Data Mining, Bioinformatics, Fluid Dynamics, Pattern Recognition, etc.). Through exhaustive performance monitoring, we quantify the resource utilization of diverse OpenMP-based HPC applications on both the Fujitsu A64FX and the Nvidia Grace Superchip platforms.

Job Scheduler-Driven Power Gateway for High Performance Computing

Power gateways in the form of a microgrid can incorporate multiple distributed energy resources (DER) in either grid forming or grid following mode and support high performance computing (HPC) power profiles including the large load-follow requirements observed in multi-user HPC systems. The microgrid’s flexibility to operate in either grid forming or grid following mode and to actively switch between these modes enables baseline power from multiple non-baseline DER while maintaining high power quality metrics for the HPC system. But this enormous flexibility in demand response and time of use shifting is generally programmed independently of any integration with an HPC job scheduler which can better inform the load shaping by the microgrid. While there are many existing approaches where the HPC job scheduler takes in information from the grid to make queue scheduling decisions, this work takes the opposite view and explores a scheduler where the jobs in the queue can directly impact the settings of the grid. Several HPC scheduler strategies are tested where the jobs in the queue directly impact the settings of a microgrid designed for HPC operation which is driving a datacenter with three classes of HPC architectures. The scheduler operation is shown using a microgrid with 64 kW of solar capacity and 320 kWh of battery over a period of 21 days operating with significant low-follow swings, a throttled grid, cloudy conditions, switching between grid following and grid forming modes, and a wide range of battery states-of-charge all while maintaining high quality power metrics. The scheduler provides a mechanism for the job queue to directly impact a power gateway like a microgrid and to improve HPC power outcomes such as maximizing renewable energy usage

Electra: A Modular-Based Expansion of NASA's Supercomputing Capability

NASA has increasingly relied on high-performance computing (HPC) re- sources for computational modeling, simulation, and data analysis to meet the science and engineering goals of its missions in space exploration, aeronautics, and Earth and space science. The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, Calif., hosts NASA’s premier supercomputing resources, integral to achieving and enhancing the success of the agency’s missions. NAS provides a balanced environment, funded under the High-End Computing Capability (HECC) project, comprised of world-class supercomputers, including its flagship distributed-memory cluster, Pleiades; high-speed networking; and massive data storage facilities, along with multi-disciplinary support teams for user support, code porting and optimization, and large-scale data analysis and scientific visualization. However, as scientists have increased the fidelity of their simulations and engineers are conducting larger parameter-space studies, the requirements for supercomputing resources have been growing by leaps and bounds. With the facility housing the HECC systems reaching its power and cooling capacity, NAS undertook a prototype project to investigate an alternative approach for housing supercomputers. Modular supercomputing, or container-based computing, is an innovative concept for expanding NASA’s HPC capabilities. With modular supercomputing, additional containers—similar to portable storage pods—can be connected together as needed to accommodate the agency’s ever-increasing demand for computing resources. In addition, taking advantage of the local weather permits the use of cooling technologies that would additionally save energy and reduce annual water usage. The first stage of NASA’s Modular Supercomputing Facility (MSF) prototype, which resulted in a 1,000 square-foot module on a concrete pad with room for 16 compute racks, was completed in Fall 2016 and an SGI (now HPE) computer system, named Electra, was deployed there in early 2017. Cooling is performed via an evaporative system built into the module, and preliminary experience shows a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) measurement of 1.03. Electra achieved over a petaflop on the LINPACK benchmark, sufficient to rank number 96 on the November 2016 TOP500 list [14]. The system consists of 1,152 InfiniBand-connected Intel Xeon Broadwell-based nodes. Its users access their files on a facility-wide file system shared by all HECC compute assets via Mellanox MetroX InfiniBand extenders, which connect the Electra fabric to Lustre routers in the primary facility over fiber-optic links about 900 feet long. The MSF prototype has exceeded expectations and is serving as a blueprint for future expansions. In the remainder of this chapter, we detail how modular data center technology can be used to expand an existing compute resource. We begin by describing NASA’s requirements for supercomputing and how resources were provided prior to the integration of the Electra module-based system.

Deployment and Evaluation of SciStream on OLCF's Advanced Computing Ecosystem (ACE)

The growing demand for real-time analysis, experimental steering, and decision-making in scientific workflows has created a need for tightly coupled integrations between experimental facilities and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The Department of Energy’s Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) initiative highlights data streaming as a key capability for enabling memory-to-memory data transfers, bypassing the limitations of traditional store-and-forward models. SciStream is a toolkit developed by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to support such streaming by addressing cross-domain security, delegated authentication, and application transparency. We deployed and evaluated SciStream on the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility’s (OLCF) Advanced Computing Ecosystem (ACE) infrastructure, leveraging the Olivine OpenShift cluster and its high-bandwidth Data Streaming Nodes (DSNs) as gateway nodes. Our evaluation included synthetic streaming workloads derived from IRI science workflows, a streaming simulator, and integration with RabbitMQ to handle low-level messaging. This report documents the deployment process, performance evaluation, and challenges encountered, along with opportunities for future improvements.
