论文摘要
这封信考虑了与领导级高性能计算(HPC)设施互补的计算设施的设计。该设计设想了一个未来,资金机构正在为领导班设施分配更多资源,而这些设施将为HEP实验提供总体计算周期的重要组成部分。尽管领导力课程设施(LCF)可以提供周期和高级架构,但该设施并不一定提供帮助HEP用户充分利用HPC设施所需的所有服务,以及为不适合HPC设施提供工作流程所需的服务所需的服务。这封信概述了旨在提供这些服务和功能的设施的一些必要组件。
This Letter considers the design for computing facilities that are complementary to the leadership class High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. This design envisions a future where funding agencies are allocating greater resources for leadership class facilities and these facilities will provide a significant part of the total compute cycles for HEP Experiments. While a leadership class facility (LCF) may provide cycles and advanced architectures, the facility does not necessarily provide all of the services needed to help HEP users make the best use of the HPC facility, as well as the services needed to provide computing for workflows that are not a good fit for the HPC facilities. This Letter outlines some of the necessary components of a facility designed to provide those services and capabilities.
