Introduction

Accelerated computing systems deliver energy efficient and powerful HPC capabilities. Many EGI sites are providing accelerated computing technologies to enable high performance processing such as GPGPUs or MIC co-processors. Currently these accelerated capabilities are not directly supported by the EGI platforms. To use the co-processors capabilities available at resource centre level, users must directly interact with the local provider to get information about the type of resources and software libraries available and which submission queues must be used to submit tasks of accelerated computing. This task will implement the support in the information system, to expose the correct information about the accelerated computing technologies available – both software and hardware – at site level, developing a common extension of the information system structure, based on OGF GLUE standard, in order to have the capabilities published uniformly by all the sites. Users will then be able to extract all the information directly from the information system without interacting with the sites, and easily use resources provided by multiple sites. The task will also extend the HTC and cloud middleware support for co-processors, where needed, in order to provide a transparent and uniform way to allocate these resources together with CPU cores efficiently to the users.
