Abstract:

[Objective] With the rise of new computing technologies including cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, hybrid computing based on multiple computing power has been promoted. Under the guidance of the national strategy of “East-West Computing Requirement Transfer”, it is important to develop the programming paradigm for the new generation of computing infrastructure to take full advantages of the HPC computing power and provide a new HPC computing power programming model. [Methods] Firstly, the current computing service mode of the high-performance computing environment and the existing HPC programming paradigm are introduced. Secondly, an HPC com-puting power programming paradigm (HPC as a function) based on the high-performance computing environment is proposed according to the HPC computing power and task abstraction. Then design of the reference architecture of the HPC computing power programming paradigm is given. [Results] The HPC computing power programming paradigm can support the basic needs of scientific research for HPC computing power, and distribute tasks that are suitable for HPC to appropriate computing resources. Compared to a traditional workflow system, the new paradigm provides greater flexibility and program-mability. [Conclusions] The HPC computing power programming paradigm is expected to effectively improve the programmability of the new computing infrastructure.
