Inference-Optimized AI and High Performance Computing for Gravitational Wave Detection at Scale

We introduce an ensemble of artificial intelligence models for gravitational wave detection that we trained in the Summit supercomputer using 32 nodes, equivalent to 192 NVIDIA V100 GPUs, within 2 h. Once fully trained, we optimized these models for accelerated inference using NVIDIA TensorRT. We deployed our inference-optimized AI ensemble in the ThetaGPU supercomputer at Argonne Leadership Computer Facility to conduct distributed inference. Using the entire ThetaGPU supercomputer, consisting of 20 nodes each of which has 8 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs and 2 AMD Rome CPUs, our NVIDIA TensorRT-optimized AI ensemble processed an entire month of advanced LIGO data (including Hanford and Livingston data streams) within 50 s. Our inference-optimized AI ensemble retains the same sensitivity of traditional AI models, namely, it identifies all known binary black hole mergers previously identified in this advanced LIGO dataset and reports no misclassifications, while also providing a 3X inference speedup compared to traditional artificial intelligence models. We used time slides to quantify the performance of our AI ensemble to process up to 5 years worth of advanced LIGO data. In this synthetically enhanced dataset, our AI ensemble reports an average of one misclassification for every month of searched advanced LIGO data. We also present the receiver operating characteristic curve of our AI ensemble using this 5 year long advanced LIGO dataset. This approach provides the required tools to conduct accelerated, AI-driven gravitational wave detection at scale.

Obfuscation for high-performance computing systems

An example method includes initializing, by an obfuscation computing system, communications with nodes in a distributed computing platform, the nodes including one or more compute nodes and a controller node, and performing at least one of: (a) code-level obfuscation for the distributed computing platform to obfuscate interactions between an external user computing system and the nodes, wherein performing the code-level obfuscation comprises obfuscating data associated with one or more commands provided by the user computing system and sending one or more obfuscated commands to at least one of the nodes in the distributed computing platform; or (b) system-level obfuscation for the distributed computing platform, wherein performing the system-level obfuscation comprises at least one of obfuscating system management tasks that are performed to manage the nodes or obfuscating network traffic data that is exchanged between the nodes.

Sequence optimizations in a high-performance computing environment

Embodiments are directed to techniques to determine dataflow graph instructions comprising one or more pick/switch instruction pairs and generate a reverse static single assignment graph based on the dataflow graph instructions, the reverse static single assignment graph comprising strongly connected components, each of the strongly connected components associated with at least one of the one or more pick/switch instruction pairs. Embodiments also include traversing the reverse static single assignment graph depth-first, and replace pick/switch instructions associated with strongly connected components having configuration values with compound instructions.

Obfuscation for high-performance computing systems

An example technique includes initializing, by an obfuscation computing system, communications with nodes in a distributed computing platform. The nodes include compute nodes that provide resources in the distributed computing platform and a controller node that performs resource management of the resources. The obfuscation computing system serves as an intermediary between the controller node and the compute nodes. The technique further includes outputting an interactive user interface (UI) providing a selection between a first privilege level and a second privilege level, and performing one of: based on the selection being for the first privilege level, a first obfuscation mechanism for the distributed computing platform to obfuscate digital traffic between a user computing system and the nodes, or based on the selection being for the second privilege level, a second obfuscation mechanism for the distributed computing platform to obfuscate digital traffic between the user computing system and the nodes.
