论文摘要
在发生灾难的情况下，使用高性能计算（HPC）来补充紧急决策，这是超级计算机的重要潜在用途。但是，所涉及的使用模式与传统上使用HPC的使用方式大不相同。因此，需要克服许多障碍，尤其是批处理系统队列中无限的等待时间，以实用灾难响应中使用HPC。在本文中，我们介绍了Vestec项目计划如何克服这些问题并开发紧急计算控制系统的工作原型。我们描述了这种系统的要求，并分析可利用的不同技术可以成功构建这样的系统。我们最终探讨了Vestec系统的设计，并讨论了需要解决的持续挑战以实现生产水平系统。
The use of High Performance Computing (HPC) to compliment urgent decision making in the event of disasters is an important future potential use of supercomputers. However, the usage modes involved are rather different from how HPC has been used traditionally. As such, there are many obstacles that need to be overcome, not least the unbounded wait times in the batch system queues, to make the use of HPC in disaster response practical. In this paper, we present how the VESTEC project plans to overcome these issues and develop a working prototype of an urgent computing control system. We describe the requirements for such a system and analyse the different technologies available that can be leveraged to successfully build such a system. We finally explore the design of the VESTEC system and discuss ongoing challenges that need to be addressed to realise a production level system.
