Given the overwhelming impact of machine learning on the last decade, several libraries and frameworks have been developed in recent years to simplify the design and training of neural networks, providing array-based programming, automatic differentiation and user-friendly access to hardware accelerators. None of those tools, however, was designed with native and transparent support for Cloud computing or heterogeneous High-Performance computing (HPC). The DeepHealth Toolkit is an open source Deep Learning toolkit aimed at boosting productivity of data scientists operating in the medical field by providing a unified framework for the distributed training of neural networks, which is able to leverage hybrid HPC and cloud environments in a transparent way for the user. The toolkit is composed of a Computer Vision library, a Deep Learning library, and a front-end for non-expert users; all of the components are focused on the medical domain, but they are general purpose and can be applied to any other field. In this paper, the principles driving the design of the DeepHealth libraries are described, along with details about the implementation and the interaction between the different elements composing the toolkit. Finally, experiments on common benchmarks prove the efficiency of each separate component and of the DeepHealth Toolkit overall.

The Grid and Cloud User Support Environment (gUSE) enables users convenient and easy access to grid and cloud infrastructures by providing a general purpose, workflow-oriented graphical user interface to create and run workflows on various Distributed computing Infrastructures (DCIs). Its arrangements for creating and modifying existing workflows are, however, non-intuitive and cumbersome due to the technologies and architecture employed by gUSE. In this paper, we outline the first integrated web-based workflow editor for gUSE with the aim of improving the user experience for those with industrial data workflows and the wider gUSE community. We report initial assessments of the editor's utility based on users' feedback. We argue that combining access to diverse scalable resources with improved workflow creation tools is important for all big data applications and research infrastructures.

The special issue of Concurrency And Computation: Practice And Experience deals with latest advances in distributed, parallel, and graphic processing unit accelerated approaches to computational biology. This trend is motivated by the lightening improvement of novel molecular biology high-throughput technologies, such as next generation sequencing, which allow the analysis of inter personal variations in genomics and transcriptomics. This also results in the development of mass spectrometry techniques for proteomics and metabolomics profiles. Many projects have been undertaken in a number of countries and universities to achieve these objectives. The D-Grid project MoSGrid is one such project that offers a complete solution for the molecular simulation community supporting HPC infrastructures via a web-based science gateway.

The future power grid is expected to further expand with highly distributed energy sources and smart loads. The increased size and complexity lead to increased burden on existing computational resources in energy control centers. Thus the need to perform real-time assessment on such systems entails efficient means to distribute centralized functions such as state estimation in the power system. In this paper, we present our experience of prototyping a system architecture that connects distributed state estimators individually running parallel programs to solve non-linear estimation procedure. Through our experience, we highlight the needs of integrating the distributed state estimation algorithm with efficient partition and data communication tools so that distributed state estimation has low overhead compared to the centralized solution. We build a test case based on the IEEE 118 bus system and partition the state estimation of the whole system model to available HPC clusters. The measurement from the test bed demonstrates the low overhead of our solution.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA, are creating computing environments for biologists that seamlessly integrate collections of data and computational resources. MeDICi is an evolving middleware platform for building complex, high-performance analytical applications. MIF components are constructed using Java programming interfaces that support inter-component communication using asynchronous messaging. Local components execute inside the MIF container. Remote components create distributed solutions and integrate with non-Java code. Mule provides the MIF container environment. MIF extends the Mule interface to make component and pipeline construction easier and to create an encapsulation device for component creation. The MIF interface is agnostic of the underlying Java messaging platform. This allows deployments to configure MIF applications using technologies that meet individual quality-of-service requirements.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a numerical algorithm to track the preheat interface motion driven by radiation transfer in high-intensity laser experiments. Our front-tracking algorithm is coupled to a radiat...
