Recently, the implementation plans for high-performance computing under national key R & D programs "Motor Optimization Design Platform" and "E-class Computing Oriented Energy Exploration High-performance Application Software System and Demonstration" led by HIT were presented. This marks the official launch of the projects. We are now approaching the implementation phase.
Funding for the "Motor Optimization Design Platform" is 12.4 million yuan with an implementation period of 3.5 years. This project is led by HIT with partners such as Lian He Ying Te Engineering Simulation Technology (Dalian) Co., Ltd., Wuxi Heng Ding Super Computing Center Co., Ltd., Dalian University of Technology, Harbin National Hydroelectric Equipment Engineering Research Center Co., Ltd. and Xi'an Frontier Power Software Development Co., Ltd. The primary goal of the project is to solve these problems:
• The low degree of refinement in the optimization design of the motor industry in China.
• The limited functions of independent software.
• Insufficient hardware computation resources.
It will integrate domestic research software with hardware resources and create a completely independent, controllable domestic high performance motor optimization design platform. In doing so, the project will provide efficient and reliable computing resources for China's motor industry research. This will enable the domestic super-computing platform to play a greater supporting role in scientific calculation and engineering design, offering huge economic and social benefits for national production.
Funding for the "E-class Computing Oriented Energy Exploration High-performance Application Software System and Demonstration" is 7.32 million yuan with an implementation period of 4 years. Led by HIT, this project is jointly affiliated with the following 17 research teams combining production, academia, and research: Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Institute of Geology and Geophysics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China University of Petroleum, Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, National (Changsha) Super Computing Center, Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., China Petrochemical Corporation, and China Petroleum Group Oriental Geophysical Exploration Co., Ltd. The primary focus of this project basin and deep sea energy exploration. Using the unique design of the E-class computer, the project will study and develop efficient seismic data processing, inverse time migration imaging, full waveform inversion, geomagnetic inversion, reservoir simulation and other parallel algorithms and software modules. In addition with E-class computing parallel support technology, it will collect E-class numerical simulations with important degrees of visibility. The result: the world's leading geophysical exploration technology for terrestrial and marine energy exploration!
After listening to the implementation plans from Professor ZHENG Ping, the director of the "Motor Optimization Design Platform" and Professor MA Jianwei, the project leader for the "E-class Computing Oriented Energy Exploration High-performance Application Software System and Demonstration", a group of experts discussed a variety of relevant topics including the technical route, research progress and node arrangements, research results and assessment indexes, organization and management, and funding for the implementation process. After considering the high feasibility of the plans, the advanced technical route, the clear task division, the reasonable research progress and time schedule, they unanimously affirmed the significance of the research and operability of the two projects.. This was followed by the unanimous approval of the implementation plan. The group of experts offered constructive suggestions for the specific implementation of follow-up work and the application and industrialization of the research results.
There were more than 60 participants at the conference. Among them was a group of experts from high-performance computing under key national R & D programs, the leaders of the High-Tech Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, the relevant personnel in charge of the schools of science and technology institutes at HIT, personnel from the groups undertaking the projects and key members of the research group.
