A Study on the Performance of Distributed Training of Data-driven CFD Simulations

Data-driven methods for computer simulations are blooming in many scientific areas. The traditional approach to simulating physical behaviors relies on solving partial differential equations (PDE). Since calculating these iterative equations is highly both computationally demanding and time-consuming, data-driven methods leverage artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to alleviate that workload. Data-driven methods have to be trained in advance to provide their subsequent fast predictions, however, the cost of the training stage is non-negligible. This paper presents a predictive model for inferencing future states of a specific fluid simulation that serves as a use case for evaluating different training alternatives. Particularly, this study compares the performance of only CPU, multiGPU, and distributed approaches for training a time series forecasting deep learning (DL) model. With some slight code adaptations, results show and compare, in different implementations, the benefits of distributed GPU-enabled training for predicting high-accuracy states in a fraction of the time needed by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver.

SERUM: Simple, Efficient, Robust, and Unifying Marking for Diffusion-based Image Generation

We propose SERUM: an intriguingly simple yet highly effective method for marking images generated by diffusion models (DMs). We only add a unique watermark noise to the initial diffusion generation noise and train a lightweight detector to identify watermarked images, simplifying and unifying the strengths of prior approaches. SERUM provides robustness against any image augmentations or watermark removal attacks and is extremely efficient, all while maintaining negligible impact on image quality. In contrast to prior approaches, which are often only resilient to limited perturbations and incur significant training, injection, and detection costs, our SERUM achieves remarkable performance, with the highest true positive rate (TPR) at a 1% false positive rate (FPR) in most scenarios, along with fast injection and detection and low detector training overhead. Its decoupled architecture also seamlessly supports multiple users by embedding individualized watermarks with little interference between the marks. Overall, our method provides a practical solution to mark outputs from DMs and to reliably distinguish generated from natural images.

Resource Optimization with MPI Process Malleability for Dynamic Workloads in HPC Clusters

Dynamic resource management is essential for optimizing computational efficiency in modern high-performance computing (HPC) environments, particularly as systems scale. While research has demonstrated the benefits of malleability in resource management systems (RMS), the adoption of such techniques in production environments remains limited due to challenges in standardization, interoperability, and usability. Addressing these gaps, this paper extends our prior work on the Dynamic Management of Resources (DMR) framework, which provides a modular and user-friendly approach to dynamic resource allocation. Building upon the original DMRlib reconfiguration runtime, this work integrates new methodology from the Malleability Module (MaM) of the Proteo framework, further enhancing reconfiguration capabilities with new spawning strategies and data redistribution methods. In this paper, we explore new malleability strategies in HPC dynamic workloads, such as merging MPI communicators and asynchronous reconfigurations, which offer new opportunities for dramatically reducing memory overhead. The proposed enhancements are rigorously evaluated on a world-class supercomputer, demonstrating improved resource utilization and workload efficiency. Results show that dynamic resource management can reduce the workload completion time by 40% and increase the resource utilization by over 20%, compared to static resource allocation.
