%0 Book Section %B Fog Computing: Theory and Practice %D 2020 %T Harnessing the Computing Continuum for Programming Our World %A Pete Beckman %A Jack Dongarra %A Nicola Ferrier %A Geoffrey Fox %A Terry Moore %A Dan Reed %A Micah Beck %X This chapter outlines a vision for how best to harness the computing continuum of interconnected sensors, actuators, instruments, and computing systems, from small numbers of very large devices to large numbers of very small devices. The hypothesis is that only via a continuum perspective one can intentionally specify desired continuum actions and effectively manage outcomes and systemic properties—adaptability and homeostasis, temporal constraints and deadlines—and elevate the discourse from device programming to intellectual goals and outcomes. Development of a framework for harnessing the computing continuum would catalyze new consumer services, business processes, social services, and scientific discovery. Realizing and implementing a continuum programming model requires balancing conflicting constraints and translating the high‐level specification into a form suitable for execution on a unifying abstract machine model. In turn, the abstract machine must implement the mapping of specification demands to end‐to‐end resources. %B Fog Computing: Theory and Practice %I John Wiley & Sons, Inc. %@ 9781119551713 %G eng %& 7 %R https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119551713.ch7 %0 Book Section %B Advances in Information and Communication: Proceedings of the 2019 Future of Information and Communication Conference (FICC) %D 2020 %T Interoperable Convergence of Storage, Networking, and Computation %A Micah Beck %A Terry Moore %A Piotr Luszczek %A Anthony Danalis %E Kohei Arai %E Rahul Bhatia %K active networks %K distributed cloud %K distributed processing %K distributed storage %K edge computing %K network convergence %K network layering %K scalability %X In every form of digital store-and-forward communication, intermediate forwarding nodes are computers, with attendant memory and processing resources. This has inevitably stimulated efforts to create a wide-area infrastructure that goes beyond simple store-and-forward to create a platform that makes more general and varied use of the potential of this collection of increasingly powerful nodes. Historically, these efforts predate the advent of globally routed packet networking. The desire for a converged infrastructure of this kind has only intensified over the last 30 years, as memory, storage, and processing resources have increased in both density and speed while simultaneously decreasing in cost. Although there is a general consensus that it should be possible to define and deploy such a dramatically more capable wide-area platform, a great deal of investment in research prototypes has yet to produce a credible candidate architecture. Drawing on technical analysis, historical examples, and case studies, we present an argument for the hypothesis that in order to realize a distributed system with the kind of convergent generality and deployment scalability that might qualify as "future-defining," we must build it from a small set of simple, generic, and limited abstractions of the low level resources (processing, storage and network) of its intermediate nodes. %B Advances in Information and Communication: Proceedings of the 2019 Future of Information and Communication Conference (FICC) %I Springer International Publishing %P 667-690 %@ 978-3-030-12385-7 %G eng %0 Generic %D 2019 %T A Collection of Presentations from the BDEC2 Workshop in Kobe, Japan %A Rosa M.

Wisniewski %A Zhiwei Xu %A Igor Zacharov %X Over the past four years, the Big Data and Exascale Computing (BDEC) project organized a series of five international workshops that aimed to explore the ways in which the new forms of data-centric discovery introduced by the ongoing revolution in high-end data analysis (HDA) might be integrated with the established, simulation-centric paradigm of the high-performance computing (HPC) community. Based on those meetings, we argue that the rapid proliferation of digital data generators, the unprecedented growth in the volume and diversity of the data they generate, and the intense evolution of the methods for analyzing and using that data are radically reshaping the landscape of scientific computing. The most critical problems involve the logistics of wide-area, multistage workflows that will move back and forth across the computing continuum, between the multitude of distributed sensors, instruments and other devices at the networks edge, and the centralized resources of commercial clouds and HPC centers. We suggest that the prospects for the future integration of technological infrastructures and research ecosystems need to be considered at three different levels. First, we discuss the convergence of research applications and workflows that establish a research paradigm that combines both HPC and HDA, where ongoing progress is already motivating efforts at the other two levels. Second, we offer an account of some of the problems involved with creating a converged infrastructure for peripheral environments, that is, a shared infrastructure that can be deployed throughout the network in a scalable manner to meet the highly diverse requirements for processing, communication, and buffering/storage of massive data workflows of many different scientific domains. Third, we focus on some opportunities for software ecosystem convergence in big, logically centralized facilities that execute large-scale simulations and models and/or perform large-scale data analytics. We close by offering some conclusions and recommendations for future investment and policy review. %B The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications %V 32 %P 435–479 %8 2018-07 %G eng %N 4 %R https://doi.org/10.1177/1094342018778123 %0 Generic %D 2018 %T A Collection of White Papers from the BDEC2 Workshop in Bloomington, IN %A James Ahrens %A Christopher M.
