Cloud computing has become a routine tool for scientists in many fields. The JINR cloud infrastructure provides JINR users with computational resources to perform various scientific calculations. In order to speed up achievements of scientific results the JINR cloud service for parallel applications has been developed. It consists of several components and implements a flexible and modular architecture which allows to utilize both more applications and various types of resources as computational backends. An example of using the Cloud&HybriLIT resources in scientific computing is the study of superconducting processes in the stacked long Josephson junctions (LJJ). The LJJ systems have undergone intensive research because of the perspective of practical applications in nano-electronics and quantum computing. In this contribution we generalize the experience in application of the Cloud&HybriLIT resources for high performance computing of physical characteristics in the LJJ system.

For almost a decade now, Network on Chip (NoC) concepts have evolved to provide an interesting alternative to more traditional intrachip communication architectures (e.g. shared busses) for the design of complex Systems on Chip (SoCs). A considerable number of NoC proposals are available, focusing on different sets of optimization aspects, related to specific classes of applications. Each such application employs a NoC as part of its underlying implementation infrastructure. Many of the mentioned optimization aspects target results such as Quality of Service (QoS) achievement and/or power consumption reduction. On the other hand, the use of NoCs brings about the solution of new design problems, such to the choice of synchronization method to employ between NoC routers and application modules mapping. Although the availability of NoC structures is already rather ample, some design choices are at base of many, if not most, NoC proposals. These include the use of wormhole packet switching and virtual channels. This work pledges against this practice. It discusses trade-offs of using circuit or packet switching, arguing in favor the use of the former with fixed size packets (cells). Quantitative data supports the argumentation. Also, the work proposes and justifies replacing the use of virtual channels by replicated channels, based on the abundance of wires in current and expected deep sub-micron technologies. Finally, the work proposes a transmission method coupling the use of session layer structures to circuit switching to better support application implementation. The main reported result is the availability of a router with reduced latency and area, a communication architecture adapted for high-performance applications.

Optoelectronic hybrid network technology is mixed with pure electric packet switching network, which can improve network capacity and reduce power consumption. However, the long configuration time and complex management of optical circuit switch affect the performance of optoelectronic hybrid network. Therefore, a new optoelectronic hybrid network architecture (BET) is designed. The network architecture consists of Ethernet electric packet switching network and optical wavelength routing network. The signal receiving and dispatching of optical routing network is realized by circular arrayed waveguide grating router. Based on the characteristics of wavelength cycling routing, there is no need to adjust the routing of optical signals to the destination port, that is, there is no need to configure the optical wavelength routing network. At the same time, an intelligent node dynamic reconfiguration (RG) algorithm is designed to improve the resource utilization of optical nodes. In this method, the network link utilization, cache occupancy, and network load are taken into account to adjust the distribution of optical nodes in the optoelectronic hybrid network. In the process of the experiment, by changing the message length, it is found that the optical wavelength routing network can achieve large capacity and new-type transmission and effectively reduce the delay at the same time; on the optoelectronic hybrid network, with the help of Hadoop platform, distributed cluster is built and used to transmit an XML data encoding (ED code), solve the finite state transducers (FST) and encode them. Compared with the traditional electric packet switching network, the transmission delay of ED code is greatly reduced after the introduction of optical circuit switch, and the efficiency of FST solution and coding calculation is improved by at least 30%.
