Thermo-Fluid Modeling Framework for Supercomputing Digital Twins: Part 2, Automated Cooling Models

The development of digital twins for the purpose of improving the energy efficiency of supercomputing facilities is a non-trivial endeavor that is complicated by the difficulty of creating physics-based thermo-fluid cooling system models (CSMs). Within ExaDigit---an open-source framework for liquid-cooled supercomputing digital twins---a thermo-fluid modeling framework is being developed. This effort has been segmented into two with two companion papers describing each portion of the overall effort. Part 1 focuses on the development of a cooling system library in Dymola for the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory {\cite{Kumar2024}. Part 2, this paper, describes an effort to create a template-based auto-generation methodology for CSMs, called \textit{AutoCSM}. In this paper, an overview of the initial AutoCSM architecture and workflow is provided, along with a practical example using the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's (OLCF) Frontier supercomputer CSM. AutoCSM will (1) improve ExaDigiT's user accessibility by providing a flexible workflow for modularizing the creation of the CSM system and control logic, (2) decrease the development time of CSMs, and (3) standardize the method for incorporating CSMs into the ExaDigiT framework.

Abstract

The development of digital twins for the purpose of improving the energy efficiency of supercomputing facilities is a non-trivial endeavor that is complicated by the difficulty of creating physics-based thermo-fluid cooling system models (CSMs). Within ExaDigit---an open-source framework for liquid-cooled supercomputing digital twins---a thermo-fluid modeling framework is being developed. This effort has been segmented into two with two companion papers describing each portion of the overall effort. Part 1 focuses on the development of a cooling system library in Dymola for the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory {\cite{Kumar2024}. Part 2, this paper, describes an effort to create a template-based auto-generation methodology for CSMs, called \textit{AutoCSM}. In this paper, an overview of the initial AutoCSM architecture and workflow is provided, along with a practical example using the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's (OLCF) Frontier supercomputer CSM. AutoCSM will (1) improve ExaDigiT's user accessibility by providing a flexible workflow for modularizing the creation of the CSM system and control logic, (2) decrease the development time of CSMs, and (3) standardize the method for incorporating CSMs into the ExaDigiT framework.
