Joint Genome Institute Analysis Workflow Service (JAWS) v2.7

The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has developed the JGI Analysis Workflow Service (JAWS) as a distributed framework to run computational workflows across diverse high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud environments. JAWS enhances the reusability, scalability, and robustness of scientific workflows by orchestrating data movement, code execution, and results retrieval across multiple DOE facilities. At its core, JAWS integrates the Cromwell workflow engine to run workflows expressed in the Workflow Description Language (WDL), ensuring portability and interoperability. To provide consistent runtime environments, JAWS employs container technologies such as Shifter, Apptainer, and Docker. Workflow tasks are managed via HTCondor on HPC backends, while Globus ensures secure and efficient data transfer between sites. JAWS is deployed as a multi-site workflow manager across national laboratory computing facilities, with dedicated instances supporting community projects such as the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC) and KBase. This distributed, service-oriented architecture enables users to "write once, run anywhere," providing scalable, production-quality workflow execution.

mesoflow [SWR-22-56]

Mesoflow is a continuum scale simulation tool developed specifically for modeling transport and chemistry at the mesoscale. Our solver utilizes Cartesian block-structured adaptive mesh refinement to resolve complex surface morphologies (of catalysts/biomass particles among others) directly obtained from X-ray tomography data. An immersed boundary based formulation enables rapid representation of complex geometries prevalent in most mesoporous interfaces. The solver is developed on top of open-source performance portable library, AMReX, providing parallel execution capabilities on current and upcoming high-performance-computing (HPC) architectures. Our flexible software framework enables integration of complex chemical mechanisms at heterogenous interfaces and time-split algorithms for circumventing highly disparate reaction and flow time-scales. Our current studies indicate a ten-fold performance gain by using graphics-processing-units (GPU) compared to a single processor for representative problem sizes (2 million cell mesh).

WORM (Write One, Read Many)

WORM (Write One, Run Many) is an easy to use, cross platform, embedded and extensible, functional programming language designed to facilitate the creation of input-decks for computer codes that use standard ASCII text files for input. WORM makes it easy to create generic (yet, complex and powerful) reusable models. Additionally its nature allows for complex calculations and routines to be coded once and easily reused, further simplifying the creation of input decks. WORM (Write One, Run Many) is a powerful and versatile tool designed to improve the efficiency of today’s criticality safety analyst by allowing: + input decks for parametric studies to be created quickly and easily, + calculations and variables to be imbedded into any input deck, thus allowing for meaningful parameter specifications, + problems to be specified using any combination of units, and + complex mathematically defined models to be created. A very simple syntax is employed, and therefore the WORM is easy to learn. A WORM model is essentially a standard input deck with some of its numerical values replaced by WORM code. WORM code may include and evaluate the following mathematical operators and functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, modulus, sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, the natural logarithm, logarithm base 10, integer truncation, absolute value, and random number. Several common constants, e.g., pi, e, and Avogadros’s Number (both as 6.022e23 and 0.6022), are predefined in WORM. Additionally, many unit conversion factors are also predefined: millimeters, meters, inches, feet, yards, and mils to centimeters; kilograms, pounds, and ounces to grams; liters, milliliters, gallons, and fluid ounces to cubic centimeters; and angular degrees to radians. For parametric studies, WORM supports various shorthand list specifications: the explicit step size, linear interpolation, and logarithmic interpolation. The list notation sequentially assigns multiple values to a name. WORM creates an input deck for each value of the name. If multiple lists are used, WORM steps through each list individually, i.e., WORM creates input decks corresponding to each and every permutation of the list values. Additionally, a library of standard material definitions and Perl subroutines are included. Any one of these files can be incorporated into the subject model with a simple WORM read command. WORM is completely written in Perl, the Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. Perl is one of the most portable programming languages available today. As such, the WORM works on practically any computer platform.

Productivity frameworks for HPC

Productivity Frameworks for HPC will include container recipes, build recipes, continuous integration scripts, and other software aimed at testing the portability of containerized HPC software across platforms and interconnects. In particular, it tests the utility of bind-mounting at the MPI layer (rather than the underlying fabric layer) to leverage a standardized protocol and avoid various technical debt and vendor lock-in. Since MPIs are often ABI-incompatible, trampolines such as the open-source Wi4MPI will be tested when such cases arise.

Inference-Engine v0.1.0

Given a pre-trained neural network, Inference-Engine performs maps network inputs to outputs by executing the forward pass through the provided network. Although the predominant programming language for machine-learning is Python, most high-performance computing (HPC) applications are written in Fortran, C, or C++. Inference-Engine aims to support HPC programs and is written in Fortran, a language with a large feature set supporting interoperability with C. This software exposes concurrency in a portable way by using standard language features that some modern Fortran compilers can exploit with various optimizations, including offloading computation to a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). In particular, this software makes extensive use of Fortran's "do concurrent" parallel loop construct, implicitly parallel array statements, and pure procedures that can be invoked inside "do concurrent" blocks. Inference-Engine also supports dynamic choice of inference methods at runtime. Two current options include one method that uses Fortran's "dot_product" intrinsic function inside "do concurrent" blocks and another method that instead uses Fortran' "matmul" array intrinsic function. We plan to investigate automatic compiler offloading of "do concurrent" calculations to GPUs and compile-time substitution of optimized libraries such as the Basic Linear Algebra Library (BLAS) for "matmul" invocations. We also envision the potential for the choice of which method to use could happen at program launch based on in situ performance measurements on any given platform.
