Unleashing Responsible AI for Science: Taming Open Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Artificial intelligence (AI) and open data have become essential engines for scientific discovery and innovation. However, realizing this transformative potential requires a transdisciplinary approach that ensures research and development can effectively and responsibly leverage the diversity of data sources. Despite the exponential growth of available digital data sources and the ubiquity of non-trivial computational power for processing this data, realizing data-driven, AI-enabled science workflows remains challenging. In this talk, I will discuss the importance of democratizing AI R&D, including access to open data and advanced cyberinfrastructure. I will introduce the University of Utah’s One-U Responsible AI Initiative, which aims to catalyze an innovation ecosystem at the University of Utah and across the state. I will also present the vision, architecture, and deployment of the National Data Platform project, as part of a broader national cyberinfrastructure, aimed at catalyzing an open and extensible data ecosystem for science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Resource Management for Next-Gen HPC Applications and
Architectures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The current static usage model of HPC systems is becoming increasingly
inefficient. This is driven by the continuously growing complexity and
heterogeneity of system architectures, in combination with the increased
usage of coupled applications, the need for strong scaling with extreme
scale parallelism, and the increasing reliance on complex and dynamic
workflows. As a consequence, we see a rise in research on malleable
systems, middleware software and applications, which can adjust
resources usage dynamically in order to extract a maximum of efficiency.
By providing an intelligent global coordination of resources usage,
through runtime scheduling of computation, network usage and I\/O
across all components of the system architecture, malleable HPC systems
can maximize the exploitation of their resources, while at the same time
minimizing the makespan of applications in many, if not most, cases.
Such malleable systems, however, face a series of fundamental research
challenges, including: who initiates changes in resource availability or
usage? How is it communicated? How to compute the optimal usage?
How can applications cope with dynamically changing resources? What
should malleable programming models and abstractions look like? How
to design resource management frameworks for malleable systems?
Which resources benefit from malleability and which (if any) should still
be managed statically? This Keynote will present the state of the art in
dynamic resource management for HPC systems and will address the
former question and some possible solutions to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-Performance Graph Analytics for Motif Finding in Neuroscience Connectome Graphs and Beyond using Arachne
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The growth of network-structured data across domains like neuroscience and cybersecurity demands scalable graph analytics, but complex tasks like subgraph isomorphism remain accessible only to high-performance computing (HPC) specialists. Arachne is an open-source framework that democratizes high-performance graph analytics through a Python interface while abstracting parallelism complexities. It enables advanced graph algorithms to run efficiently from laptops to supercomputers. Arachne has been adopted by Harvard researchers for the MoMo connectome visualization tool, allowing neuroscientists to draw neural motifs that are translated into attributed subgraphs and searched using our novel HiPerMotif algorithm. Key innovations include HiPerMotif, which achieves up to 66\u00d7 speedups over parallel approaches.Testing on large-scale datasets including FlyWire and the H01 human brain connectome demonstrates Arachne\u2019s performance: completing complex subgraph searches in 38 seconds versus NetworkX\u2019s 16,000+ seconds. This unified platform balances high-performance computation with accessibility, enabling researchers to extract insights from billion-scale graphs and advancing pattern matching across data-driven sciences.This research is supported in part by NSF grants CCF-2109988, OAC-2402560, and CCF-2453324.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
