Hydrogen Village (s): Creating Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Communities

Rymal Smith, P. Eng. Director, Hydrogen Village Program

The proposed talk will outline the purpose, history, ongoing activities, and lessons learned from the Hydrogen Village Program. Hydrogen Village was initiated in late 2004 with its primary purpose being to accelerate the development of early commercial markets for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in the Greater Toronto Area. The term “Hydrogen Village” is used in recognition of the fact that many early uses for these technologies will be community based – both stationary and mobile – where people work and live. There are three primary activities of the Hydrogen Village: - Early deployments; we have assisted with the deployment of several dozen hydrogen and fuel cell applications throughout the city including transportation, material handling, backup power, and grid power. - Business development; we have assisted with business planning and development, customer awareness and education, solutions development, and regulatory issues - Outreach and education; we have developed and delivered outreach programs to various levels of government, business, academia, and community groups. The talk will provide an overview of these activities and touch on some of the many lessons that have been learned. It is hoped that by sharing this market development approach and experience with other regions we will develop worldwide markets for these emerging technologies and the new businesses being built around them.

Tutorial 2: Using the Pilot Library: A Fresh Alternative to MPI for HPC Clusters

Dr. Bill Gardner with John Carter & Natalie Girard,Department of Computing & Information Science University of Guelph, Ontario

Pilot is a new way to program high-performance clusters based on a high-level model featuring processes executing on cluster nodes, and channels for passing messages among them. Designed to smooth the learning curve for novice scientific programmers, the set of library functions is small—less than one-tenth that of MPI—and easy to learn, since the syntax mirrors C’s well-known printf and scanf. The process/channel abstraction inherently reduces the opportunities for communication errors that result in deadlock, and a runtime mechanism detects and diagnoses deadlocks arising from circular waiting. The Pilot library is built as a transparent layer on top of conventional MPI, and shields users from the latter’s complexity while adding minimal overhead.

This tutorial assumes basic exposure to C programming. Familiarity with MPI is not required, but will make the comparisons more meaningful.

Tutorial 3: An Introduction to CUDA: Harnessing Graphics Processing Units for High-Throughput General-Purpose Computation

Lukasz Wawrzyniak, University of Guelph, Ontario

CUDA is a computing platform that exposes NVIDIA graphics cards as general-purpose compute devices. The computational capabilities of today’s massively parallel graphics processing units (GPUs) can be harnessed to accelerate data-parallel algorithms. CUDA has been used successfully by researchers in a wide variety of disciplines including biochemistry, astrophysics, geology, visualization, and countless others. This tutorial is an introduction to the CUDA programming model. It examines a typical “Hello, World” application and introduces some of the more advanced features using increasingly sophisticated examples. The goal is to give the attendee a broad perspective on computing with CUDA as well as sufficient information to start developing simple CUDA applications. Since this is an introductory tutorial, familiarity with GPU programming is not required. However, the code examples assume exposure to C programming.

Topics Covered

Brief history of GPGPU (general-purpose computing on graphics processing units)
Conceptual overview of CUDA and its relation to other GPGPU approaches
The stream processing model
Using CUDA shared memory for inter-thread communication
Optimizing memory access patterns to accelerate applications
Evaluating performance
General optimization strategies

Bio: Lukasz Wawrzyniak obtained his BSc in Applied Computer Science from Ryerson University. He obtained his MSc in Computing and Information Science from the University of Guelph, where he is currently a PhD candidate. His research focuses on detecting significant high-density clusters in multidimensional data with applications to disease surveillance. One important avenue of this research concerns accelerating algorithms using graphics processing units and a variety of computing platforms including CUDA, ATI Stream, and OpenGL.

Smart Grid - Convergence for a Future Energy Transmission and Distribution System with Wireless communications, Sensors/Monitors, RFID and I.T.

The electric grid in the United States is about 100 years ago, and compared to other infrastructure, its absorption of technology has been relatively slow. The slowness in adoption of new technology by the utility industry compared to say the mobile telecommunications industry has been based on an important objective of reliability which is an impressive 99.97 percent. However, the price paid as a result of high reliability is a steady increase in price of electrical power, the inflexibility of the grid to adopt to new renewable energy sources, its inability to flatten the demand curve, its inability to rapidly respond to and isolate problems (resulting in massive outages), etc. Advances in Information Technology, Communications - both wired and wireless, sensors, RFIDs and Internet are resulting in converged technologies such as the iPhone which contains, sensors, location-tracking GPS, internet, telephony, and I.T. - in a converged device. Such a device was probably unimaginable 20 years ago - it is this opportunity that is knocking at the doors of the Utility Industry that has the job of creating, managing, utilizing and maintaining the electric grid of this country and now is leading the charge to modernize the grid. My talk will present the recent efforts from utilities and their suppliers to modernize the U.S. electric grid into what is being referred to as the Smart Grid. In this context, the UCLA WINSmartGrid (Wireless Internet Smart Grid http://winmec.ucla.edu/smartgrid) research will be presented. While WINSmartGrid represents a discrete technology for in-factory, in-office or in-home, the broader scale of the potential opportunities with the Smart Grid such as monitoring cables, wires, weather, etc., will also be discussed. Questions will be raised on what will the Smart Grid look like in 5, 10 or even 50 years. Some of the proposed visions and models presented by industry and government organizations such as the DOE labs will be discussed and compared. In the context of these opportunities, the efforts by President Obama to modernize the grid by way of the stimulus funding to the tune of $4.4 billion will be discussed. New business opportunities, their respective challenges and research/technological opportunities for the community will be addressed.

PlenaryTalk - Convergence of U-Health and U-Environment: An Autonomic Smart Home for the Elderly

Prof. Jamal Deen, McMaster University, Canada and Nazim Agoulmine, University of Evry Val d’Essonne, France

This presentation will describe an ongoing project combining information technology (IT), biotechnology (BT) and nanotechnology (NT), in a synergistic manner, as a contribution to the application of science and technology for humanity, especially the elderly. This project is focused on a smart home as a convergence of ubiquitous-health (U-Health) and ubiquitous-environment (U-Environment). The focus of our research is on helping elderly people live a more independent life as long as possible, in their own home, while being remotely monitored and assisted in an unobtrusive and seamless manner. The field of smart home has attracted much attention in the recent past. However, each of the projects have limitations in specific areas in cost, performance or reliability that include ultra-low power sensors and actuators; ultra-low-power integrated circuits for signal conditioning and processing, transceivers and memory; energy efficient and agile network systems; data fusion and “intelligent” decision making. Because of specific limitations of the developed solutions and the lack of pervasive low-cost technologies, the penetration of smart home-care systems has not been as significant as earlier projected. However, nowadays, two factors are pushing towards the development of more complete and cost-effective solutions due to the significant increase in the world’s aging population on the one side, and on the health providers’ willingness to reduce costs by treating elderly patients at home rather than within costly specialized hospitals or institutions, on the other side. We propose to use advances and potentials of IT, NT, BT, wireless communication, web-based technologies and autonomics, to develop new, smart and cost-effective solutions for the health wellness of the elderly. These solutions would enable elderly to lead independent lifestyles in their own homes while being continuously monitored for the early detection of symptoms, so diseases can be treated earlier than in later stages as is currently done; to promote health wellness; as well as to treat chronic illnesses.
