NHR4CES: Process Mining and Scientific Workflows running on the HPC cluster
Name: Process Mining and Scientific Workflows running on the HPC cluster
Date: December 11, 2023
Time: 9 a.m to 1 p.m.
Format: Online
Description
Short abstract: The goal of Process Mining is to turn event data into insights and actions. On the other side, there exist scientific workflows running on HPC clusters. But, why do we need process mining to analyze scientific workflows running on HPC clusters? For two reasons, documentation of scientific workflows and detection of bottlenecks that slow down the execution of scientific workflows. That is why we are doing to implement a cockpit to monitor HPC processes with Process Mining techniques. Another perspective is supporting Process Mining workflows for scientific experiments to facilitate the use and also improve the performance of Process Mining techniques.

NHR4CES: Machine Learning in Combustion
Name: Machine Learning in Combustion
Date: November 09 & 10, 2023
Time: 2 pm – 6 pm
Format: Online
Description
Short abstract:
Big data and Machine Learning (ML) are driving comprehensive economic and social transformations and are rapidly becoming a core technology for scientific computing, with numerous opportunities to advance different research areas, such as combustion modeling. The combination of combustion applications with ML has been already applied to several Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) configurations and is a promising research direction with the potential to enable the advancement of so far unsolved problems, thanks to the ability of deep models to learn in a hierarchical manner with little to no need for prior knowledge. However, this approach presents a paradigm shift to change the focus of CFD from time-consuming feature detection to in-depth examinations of relevant features, enabling deeper insight into the physics involved in complex natural processes.
This training is designed to provide basic background on machine learning applications, highlighting some of the areas of the highest potential impact. Emerging ML areas that are promising for combustion modeling, such as reduced-order modeling advancements, versatile neural network architectures developments, as well as some potential limitations, will be discussed. The workshop aims to gather different research groups, providing a venue to exchange new ideas, discuss challenges, and expose this new research field to a broader community.

Desciption
Post-processing and analysis of atomistic simulations are essential steps to extract knowledge from the computed trajectories. Many commonly used algorithms are already implemented in OVITO and ready to be used on large datasets containing up to billions of atoms.
During day 1 you will learn how to load your simulation outputs into OVITO and process them in the graphical user interface using the built-in algorithms. We will discuss the most important tools and practice using them in hands-on exercises.
On day 2 we will look at the development of custom processing algorithms using OVITO’s Python extension interface, which lets you solve more complex analysis tasks.
On the last day we will step away from the graphical user interface and take a look at automated workflow scripts. This feature of OVITO lets you generate batch analysis pipelines that may be executed on HPC infrastructure to perform computationally intensive data analysis and visualization tasks in a reproducible way.

Desciption
OpenFOAM is an open source, mature and established C++ library for computational continuum mechanics (CCM) including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). For leveraging its full potential, it is crucial to efficiently use the high-performance computing (HPC) resources on modern distributed-memory parallel computer architectures. This must be based on a sound understanding of parallelization in OpenFOAM and HPC techniques available.
The training will be concerned with introducing the participants to the different concepts of parallelization, along with code examples for illustration. Moreover, we will provide hands-on exercises to further deepen and solidify the transferred knowledge. The participants will further gain an overview over the distinct techniques and dedicated tools involved to run a massively parallel computation using OpenFOAM, as well as over ongoing HPC-related activities in research and development.
