5.Project objectives
The focus of this proposal is to develop the advance super computing infrastructure at
K.P.K with a state of the art High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster system. This
facility will be installed at Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI), Topi. The facility will be
used to carry out research work in data mining, computational biology, computational
mechanics, etc. The HPC cluster will provide huge storage capacity (in Tera bytes
capacity), fast processing power, reliability and efficient accurate resource for the
problems involved million of elements and thousand of time steps including the data
over several miles. These computational requirements needs an advance state of the
art computing infrastructure to solve and store the data structures for current massively
parallel architectures.
The proposed state of the art architecture will provide very fast processing power for
K.P.K research projects and also for academic research institutions in Pakistan.
The main objectives of this project are:
1. To facilitate the Government Organization for the requirements of High
Performance Super Computing like Weather forecast, Space Technology, etc.
1
2. Training of undergraduate/graduate students and industry on Super Computer
and it usage via workshops/seminars/courses.
3. High performance computational research work for BS, MS and PhD students
4. Research for publication of papers in international research conferences and
journals.
5. Human resource development in the field of high performance computing and
computational science for K.P.K and as well as for other academic and research
institution in Pakistan
6. Lectures, seminars and workshops on HPC related topics to other institutions in
Pakistan especially K.P.K academic institutions and industry
7. Availability of the scalable high performance supercomputing facility on 7/24 basis
to all over Pakistan for both the academia and industry.
This project is mainly focused to support 200 MS/PhD students of GIKI as well as the
research projects of the faculty (professors, associate professors, assistant professors
and lecturers/research associates) of academic/research institutions in K.P.K and
Pakistan.
Apart from this, as discussed in the meeting with the secretary ST&IT on Saturday
(October 15, 2011), it was decided by PI and his team to extend the facility of
supercomputing infrastructure to other departments in the domain of K.P.K. region
through a secure remote connection. This connection will be provided by HEC Pern2
network. However, GIKI may charge reasonable operational and other miscellaneous
official expenses (like internet/bandwidth, electricity/air conditioning, the employees
specially employed for looking after the cluster, etc.) from the users outside the GIK
Institute, Topi.
6. Description and justification of project
The Scheme “Development of Super Computer” was introduced in the CFY ADP of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with an estimated cost of Rs.10.00 million for the purpose of
promoting Research & Development capabilities in High performance super computing.
Extensive Consultative meetings were held with various academic institutions of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa including GIKI(Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute,Topi), UET Peshawar &
University of Peshawar for the development of super computing infrastructure, during the
meetings it was decided that GIKI which has previous track record on developing high
performance super computing infrastructure and has the requisite highly skilled
researchers team will house & develop the High performance super computing
infrastructure.
Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI) which is the second HEC-recognized
institute/university to build the high performance computing facility in Pakistan after
Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad. GIKI developed the computer
cluster sponsored by Pak-US project. The project was launched in year 2006 and its aim
was to develop the human resource development for computational mechanics program
in Pakistan. This program has trained four MS students and one PhD scholar in the said
field as well as several under-graduate students. One of the major contributions of this
program is to develop the high performance computing (HPC) cluster for training
purposes. Four other PhD students also graduated from GIKI, who used HPC computing
facility for the research work of their PhD theses.

At current, The HPC system was built using dual core AMD Opteron processors.
Traditionally HPC is also known as supercomputing.
Many scientific fields like Computational Biology, Computational Physics, Reservoir
Engineering, Cryptography, Geophysics, Weather Forecasting, etc, need very high
computation power of massively parallel computers. Several high performance computer
clusters were built in Pakistan to meet HPC requirements of similar kind of computational
problems. The subsequent sub-sections give the brief overview of the available
computer clusters in Pakistan.
6.1. Cluster at GIK Institute, Topi
GIK Institute is the pioneer institute to develop the HPC lab in year 2006. This lab
contains initially seventeen AMD dual core Opteron machines (1.6GHz). Initial proposal
was to build the 64 nodes cluster [1], but due to limitation of budget only 17 nodes were
installed. The cluster was connected using Giga bit Ethernet switch. Currently, the seven
systems are in working order, where two of computers are with Dr. Muhammad Abid for
the research work on Windows system. The total number of cores in the cluster is ten
with 9 GB RAM and connected using Giga bit Ethernet switch. The computer cluster
developed using Rocks cluster distribution based on CentOS (a linux based OS). GIK
Institute has approved the budget to obtain a computer system consisting of twelve
cores to enhance the computing capacity of the cluster with at least 16GB of RAM
against the burnt systems. The new system will be used as the master node for existing
GIKI HPC cluster. The new computer will be used as the master node and will enrich its
processors capacity from 10 to 22 cores.
This facility has been used to train both under-graduate and graduate students to
familiarize with the current super computing technology. Most of times this computer
cluster facility has been used for teaching assignments of Parallel Processing/Computing
course, and different graduate and under-graduate final year projects. This training
computer cluster facility does not provide the adequate power in terms of speed and
memory. However, some intermediate level of parallel computing resource is deliberately
needed to perform adequate research in Pakistan for computational science.
6.2. Cluster at KICS, UET, Lahore
The High Performance Computing and Networking Lab (HPCNL) at KICS, was
established in December 2007 with a number of PIII and PIV processor based systems.
It is comprised of a cluster of 30 processors and connected with gigabit Ethernet network
topology [2]. The main purpose of the cluster is to provide the training on Hadoop
platform, which provides the distributed file system including google’s Map-Reduce
programming concept.
6.3. Cluster at SEECS, NUST, Islamabad
The High Performance Computing Lab at SEECS, NUST consists of four HPC clusters
based on SUN Ultra Spark, AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon based platforms [3]. Very brief
information is as under:
1. Raad – 64 cores Solaris cluster with 128 GB RAM and connected with Myrinet
2. Barq – 32 cores Linux cluster with 36 GB RAM and connected with Gigabit
Ethernet
3
3. Burraq – 64 cores Linux cluster with 128 GB RAM and connected with Gigabit
Ethernet
4. Supercomputing Research & Education Center (ScREC) of 128 TFLOPs
The ScREC is the state of the art massively parallel computational facility, which
produces 128 TFLOPs. This is the currently most advanced supercomputer in Pakistan
using NVDIA as accelerator. It will be put into working condition in a couple of months
[4]. This supercomputer is built by Dell using Intel Xeon and NVDIA graphic processors.
6.4. Cluster at NED, Karachi
This HPC lab contains 50 nodes Linux Cluster, which is based on Beowulf architecture
which calls for dedicated CPUs for computation purposes having their own independent
memory, storage and processing power. This system is built using Intel Xeon processors
and connected via gigabit Ether network [5].
6.5. Cluster at CIIT, Islamabad
The aim of high performance computing lab at CIIT-Islamabad was to set up a modest
(40-50 GFLOPS/sec) computing cluster using commodity-of-the-shelf (COTS)
components. For this purpose, the lab was established using normal COTS components
by in-house assembling [6] and [7].
6.6. Justification
Initially, supercomputing facility at GIKI has been used for adaptive moving mesh
generation algorithm in the Arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian (ALE) frame of reference
and stabilized mixed finite element methods for Darcy’s law. Numerical experiments are
conducted on different hardware platforms with different problems. The results are
verified using both OpenMP and Message Passing Interface (MPI) libraries for shared
and distributed memory systems, respectively. The software package ANSYS was used
for research work. The MS/PhD and under-graduate students of all the faculties at GIKI
Institute used the supercomputing facility.
In computational domain, most of the computational problems involve millions of
elements and thousands of time steps in optimizing the problems for transient analysis.
Their analysis over massively parallel architectures can become a formidable task for the
problems. Most of the times, the data spans over several miles and involve the data over
Giga/Tera bytes for the research analysis. This huge data needs basic infrastructure to
solve and store the data structures for today’s massively parallel computers. So an
advance HPC facility is deliberately needed including distributed hard disks to store the
data.
Once this HPC facility is established, researchers at GIKI inside the campus or any
researchers from both the academia and business/commercial institutions can connect
using secure shell through internet facility. This facility will be easily accessible to all the
universities in K.P.K and even in Pakistan for state of the art research using PERN
(Pakistan Education Research Network) network established by HEC, Pakistan. GIKI is
the best place in Pakistan, where, there is no electricity load shedding problem. Since
electric power is mostly available on 7/24 basis at GIKI computing facility for all the
4
Pakistani research institutes as well as industry. The existing GIKI network facility will be
going to be upgraded to Pern2 connection, needed for some of the proposed projects for
distant academic institutions in K.P.K or elsewhere in Pakistan.
GIKI has already applied for the provision of Pern2 connection, which likely to be
acquired by the end of March 2012. The application for the provision of bandwidth for
Pern2 connection is attached herewith in Annexure A.
6.7. Methodology to up-grade the computer cluster
The upgraded HPC cluster will consist of individual multi-core systems and that will be
connected with a high performance interconnection to gain maximum speed to solve real
world problems. The upgraded HPC cluster will contain one master node including two
network cards and several slave nodes using blade technology. This cluster will contain
KVM switch to connect all the slave nodes with single monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Master node will be connected to outer world externally using World Wide Web (WWW)
and internally will be connected to all slave nodes using a high performance
interconnection like hybrid version of both the Infiniband and Ethernet switches.
The Top 500 supercomputer, June 2011 listing, is established at RIKEN Advanced
Institute for Computational Science (AICS), Japan, which is based on Linux OS without
acceleration of GPUs [8]. The system is built using SPARC64 VIIIfx processors and
based on computer cluster architecture. Thus we would like to establish the proposed
supercomputing facility at GIKI using the HPC cluster topology. The Linux flavored
Rocks HPC cluster distribution will be installed to put the cluster in working condition.
Firstly the rocks will be installed on the master node and then it will be installed on all the
slave nodes using network boot options from the master node.
Figure 1 shows the system graphically, in which the HPC cluster can be accessed via
WWW technology to different academic institutes, business centers and government
institutions in Pakistan. Moreover, all the slave nodes will contain the local hard disks
and Hadoop file system might be installed and data will be stored in distributed manner
to use distributed algorithms efficiently. Finally the whole system will be connected to
electric power supply with high precision surge control instruments to avoid the
malfunctioning of the system due to high voltage surges, etc. For such, an advanced and
state of the art HPC cluster, it is necessary to have adequate maintenance and
upgrading budget in the proposal.
6.8. Remote access to GIKI cluster
The installed HPC cluster at GIKI would be remotely accessible to all allied partners
using the secure shell (ssh) protocol from cluster.giki.edu.pk address. For this purpose a
user needs an internet account as described in Figure 1. All the users will be provided a
username along with a password for the secure remote access to the master node of
GIKI’s HPC cluster using a ssh client for both Windows and Linux operating systems.
The user needs to understand the basic of Linux’s command line to use the cluster.
Particularly, a user can submit a task using a batch file to the job scheduler program in
master node to utilize the high performance supercomputing facility.
For any query, a remote user can send an email at hpc@giki.edu.pk regarding the
creation of cluster account and as well as the usage. The team members will respond to
5
all the queries and questions raised at the said email address as urgent as possible.
HPC training manuals, programs, courses and workshops would be launched at GIKI
and other allied institutions/organizations.
