Please join the Department of Computer Science (CS) for the next Computer Science Colloquium featuring a talk by new faculty member Bo Zhang.

Zhang will present "Optimizing Data Movement for GPU-Based In-Situ Workflow Using GPUDirect RDMA" at 3 p.m. on Oct. 24 in Rekhi 214.

From the abstract:
The extreme-scale computing landscape is increasingly dominated by GPU-accelerated systems. At the same time, in-situ workflows that employ memory-to-memory inter-application data exchanges have emerged as an effective approach for leveraging these extreme-scale systems. In the case of GPUs, GPUDirect RDMA enables third-party devices, such as network interface cards, to access GPU memory directly and has been adopted for intra-application communications across GPUs. In this paper, we present an interoperable framework for GPU-based in-situ workflows that optimizes data movement using GPUDirect RDMA. Specifically, we analyze the characteristics of the possible data movement pathways between GPUs from an in-situ workflow perspective, and design a strategy that maximizes throughput. Furthermore, we implement this approach as an extension of the DataSpaces data staging service, and experimentally evaluate its performance and scalability on a current leadership GPU cluster. The performance results show that the proposed design reduces data-movement time by up to 53% and 40% for the sender and receiver, respectively, and maintains excellent scalability for up to 256 GPUs.

What Does it Take to Commercialize Biosolids in 2025?

Monday, October 6, 3 p.m. | Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), 202

Environmental Engineering Graduate Seminar Kay Millerick, Associate Professor, Department of Civil, Environmental & Construction Engineering, Texas Tech Abstract. Agriculture has depended upon “natural” fertilizers such as wastewater biosolids for centuries, yet today’s farmers purchase synthetic fertilizers from overseas, while neighboring wastewater facilities apply nutrient-rich solids to vacant lands at financial loss. Why are practices such as these so common, and why is the recycling of wastewater nutrients scientifically feasible yet so underutilized? In this presentation, I will identify the current barriers limiting field application of wastewater-derived products and will introduce a developing technology that generates bioavailable ammonium from wastewater solids using low electric potential. I will describe the biological (fecal coliform), inorganic (metals), and organic (PAH and PFAS) composition of electrochemically derived products from this system and contextualize implications for downstream agricultural use. I will also describe modern-day implications of 40 CFR 503 (“The Biosolids Rule”) and the logistical (rather than technical) challenges this regulation poses to emerging technologies. Bio. Dr. Kay Millerick is an associate professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental & Construction Engineering at Texas Tech University. She is an experimental environmental microbiologist whose research focuses on the confluence of environmental pollutants, reactive surfaces, and indigenous microorganisms. She examines microbial behavior and community dynamics in the built and natural environments, with an emphasis on biotransformation of pollutants under anaerobic conditions. Dr. Millerick additionally characterizes nutrient recovery products for the Center for Advancing Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production (CASFER), an NSF Engineering Research Center.

EPSSI Seminar: Dr. Yan Feng

Monday, October 6, 3:30 p.m.–4:00 p.m. | Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), First floor lobby (social) and Room 202 (lecture)

This event will be held in the GLRC. Refreshments and a social will be held at 3:30pm in the GLRC Lobby on the first floor, with the lecture to follow at 4:00pm in GLRC 202. Dr. Yan Feng, Principal Atmospheric Scientist and Head of the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department in the Environment Sciences Division at Argonne National Laboratory, will give a talk on Monday, October 6. The title of the talk is "Progresses and Challenges: Improving Representation of Aerosol Climate Effects in the DOE’s Earth System Model." Abstract: Aerosol climate effects remain a limiting factor for the capability of Earth system models in simulating global and regional hydroclimate. Uncertainties originate from the representation of aerosol properties in models as well as their interactions with radiation and clouds. For example, the CMIP6 inter-model spread in precipitation inhibition due to uncertainty in aerosol absorption is around 35mm year−1, which is seven times larger than the inter-model spread in historical precipitation change (±5mm year−1). Earlier versions of DOE’s Earth system model (E3SM) overestimated aerosol radiative forcing mainly due to uncertainty in aerosol-cloud interactions, leading to underestimated warming in the latter half of the historical period. In this presentation, I will discuss advancements in the representation of aerosol-related processes in the version 3 of E3SM and their implications for climate simulations. Notable changes include an improved secondary organic aerosol scheme that contains multi-generational production and photolytic loss, a new dust scheme for calculating the time-varying soil erodibility factor for dust mobilization, improved aerosol aging and wet removal processes, a new stratiform cloud microphysics scheme (P3E), and two-moment cloud microphysics for convective clouds. As a result, aerosol effective radiative forcing is reduced and the model's ability to simulate historical temperature records has significantly improved. Considerable improvements are found in dust lifecycle, aerosol optical depth and surface precipitation. More in-depth analysis and model evaluation are currently ongoing. Some model biases or deficiencies are still persistent in the model, e.g., aerosol mixing state, unresolved turbulence mixing, and bulk cloud microphysics. I will discuss the ongoing work how we leverage a machine-learning (ML) model that is trained on particle-resolved simulations to distinguish black carbon (BC) containing particles from BC-free particles for reducing overestimated BC coating and thus total absorption of aged aerosols. We also examined the impact on aerosol activation to cloud droplet based on the ML-aided refinement of aerosol mixing state. Bio: Dr. Feng is a Principal Atmospheric Scientist and Head of the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department in the Environment Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy. She is also a senior scientist at large with the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on aerosol modeling and aerosol interactions with radiation, chemistry, clouds, and biogeochemical cycles. More recently, she has worked on machine-learning enhanced Earth system modeling and developing predictive models for wildfire and dust storms. She has 61 peer-reviewed journal publications including Nature Geoscience, PNAS, Environmental Research Letters, Geophysical Research Letters. Her work has 6600+ citations in Google Scholar. Yan joined Argonne in 2010, after she did the postdoctoral study at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego, and received her PhD from the University of Michigan.
