Research conducted on the Delta and DeltaAI machines covers a wide array of domains and cross-disciplinary projects. With both Delta and DeltaAI, you’ll find the advancements in our architecture design and state-of-the-art hardware and software will help take your research to new heights.
System Operations Data
The Delta and DeltaAI teams have been collecting a large amount of data regarding the operations of the system. Available by request only, the team is happy to make this data available to system researchers subject to some restrictions, including:
- Any resulting publication must include the appropriate Delta/DeltaAI acknowledgment.
- No redistribution of the Delta/DeltaAI data set.
- The Delta/DeltaAI project team must be allowed to review publications prior to submission to ensure statements made about Delta/DeltaAI and data provided by Delta/DeltaAI are accurate.
- Data including user-identifiable items (including job data) will be subject to additional restrictions.
ExaComm
ExaComm, available on Delta as a module, is a GPU-Aware communication library developed by NCSA and UIUC collaborators. It has a compositional API for separating the collective pattern design from the machine-specific optimizations and it offers hyper primitives to design complicated collective communication patterns. ExaComm then optimizes the primitive pattern for a specified machine, that is described by the user. The implementation is achieved by using the point-to-point functions of the native MPI or NCCL libraries. Exacomm is just example of the ways in which the Delta Complex team continues to develop for the machines they manage.
