Minisymposium Presentation
Efficient Integration of Quantum Computing Resources in HPC Environments
Presenter
Alfio Lazzaro joined the HPE HPC/AI EMEA Research Lab in October 2018 as a research engineer. He earned his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics at the University of Milan in 2007. In 2010 he joined CERN openlab with a COFUND-CERN and Marie Curie fellowship. From 2012 to 2014 he was an application analyst at Cray, based at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre. From 2015 to 2018, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, working on the CP2K team under the Swiss PASC project. His main interests are optimization and parallelization of scientific applications.
Presenter
Alessandro Rigazzi is a Senior ML and AI Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. He holds a PhD in computational science and is one of the developers and maintainers of SmartSim.
Description
We propose a strategy for optimizing job throughput on supercomputers that can provide access to specialist hardware resources (such as a quantum computing device) that must be accessed exclusively. This strategy increases the utilization of this special asset significantly and thus reduces the cost related to idle time. We show examples of efficiently executing a hybrid HPC-QC workflow using state-of-the-art frameworks such as the message passing interface and the Slurm job scheduler on an HPE-Cray EX supercomputer.
