Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management involves tracking the flow of goods and services from the acquisition of inputs to the delivery of output to the consumers. The supply chain represents a connected network of people, organizations, activities, and technologies that help in the development of products or services. The organizational leaders who are in charge of supply chain management need to have adequate details concerning the market and the availability of inputs (Slack, Brandon-Jones, & Johnston, 2013). For instance, they should have details concerning the amount of products that the market requires at a specified duration. The practices enable organizations to obtain the appropriate inputs and develop goods or services that match the customers’ expectation. The existence of proper supply chain management programs also facilitates timely delivery of products to the consumers. Organizations use both internal and external supply chains to acquire inputs and deliver them to the market (Dyckhoff, Lackes, & Reese, 2013). The internal supply chains relate to the movement of resources from one department or process to the next. On the other hand, external supply chains involve the acquisition of inputs from suppliers beyond the company’s environments and the delivery of output to the markets.

The key objectives of supply chain management include generating optimal levels of customer satisfaction, the timely delivery of output and achievement of strategic goals, flexibility and cost minimization (Slack, Brandon-Jones, & Johnston, 2013). The supply chain managers usually promote customer satisfaction by eliminating errors such as the delay of inputs or inappropriate production procedures. The formulation of well-organized plans for resource acquisition and production of output is also a key strategy that helps in the timely delivery of output to the market. The organizations also attain their strategic goals once they manage to develop products and services that match the market demand on time. In some cases, the demand may change unexpectedly (Christopher, 2016). Thus, the supply chain managers develop strategies of promoting sustainability to cater for such instances. Effective supply chain management strategies, also help in the acquisition of high-quality inputs at reasonably low expenses, hence the minimization of operational costs.

Discussion Question: How can technological advancements improve the role of effective supply chain management in the achievement of sustainability?

The genome of an organism can be expresses as some number G of
"base pairs" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_pair). Typical
sizes of various genomes are given in (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome).

String matching can be used to find particular sequences in a
genome. Several string matching algorithms are described
in (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_matching)

Consider a program to find to find if a particular sequence of
base pairs is found in a genome, and if so, where and how
many times.

Your program will run on a cluster with 
the following properties:

Number of nodes - 20

  Number of processors per node 16 2.6 GHz Xeon
  Memory per node               16 GB
  GPU - 2 (NVIDIA CUDA) per node, 1024 stream processors and 4GB RAM, running at 1.5 GHz 
  local drives 1 T SATA , 6 GB/sec
  NFS drive 10TB  RAID, bandwidth limited by network
                
Switched Ethernet network
Latency               L = 20 microseconds
Bandwidth             B = 1Gb/sec == 100 Mbytes/sec for messages
   larger than 32Kbytes


You may not need all the above information. If you feel you need some other system 
property, feel free to assume some reasonable value (Try Wikipedia)

Assume the genome you are exploring and the sequence you are
trying to find, are both initially files on the NFS disk.

Deliverables:

1. Parallel String Match algorithm - in MPI, OpenMP, CUDA or some
combination of these. Description in English and/or pseudocode is
sufficient. Is yoyur algorithm data parallel, task parallel or both? 

Describe data transfer during computation (disk to program, process to process,
CPU - GPU and node - node). Describe how data is partitioned between processes, 
shared between processes, or replicated at each process.

2. You may not need all the hardware available for your algorithm. You may use the
entire cluster or any part of it. Describe what resources your algorithm will use to 
execute. Explain your choice.

3. Estimate how your algorithm would perform on the computer
system described above. Consider:
    a. Complexity; communication costs.
    b. Is there some file size (in bytes, number of elements, or both)
that is too small for your algorithm to work efficiently? Given the wide range of genome
sizes (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome), is there some range of size that you expect would
be best for your algorithm?
    c. How much speedup would you exepect on the given hardware as compared to running
on a single CPU? Justify your answer    

  

Use the following code to complete the lab. Include test tables, screen captures and full text of code used and altered.

// C code

// This program will input and store meteorological data into an array. 

// Developer:

// Date: Dec 11, 2018

#define NUMMONTHS 12

#define NUMYEARS 5

#include <stdio.h>

// function prototypes

void inputdata();

void printdata();

// Global variables

// These are available to all functions

float Raindata[NUMYEARS][NUMMONTHS];

char years[NUMYEARS][5] = {"2011","2012","2013","2014","2015"};

char months[NUMMONTHS][12] ={"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"};

int main ()

{

char enterData = 'y';

printf("Do you want to input Precipatation data? (y for yes)n");

scanf("%c",&enterData);

if (enterData == 'y') {

// Call Function to Input data

inputdata(); 

// Call Function to display data

printdata();

}

else {

printf("No data was input at this timen");

}

printf("Please try the Precipitation program again. n");

return 0;

}

// function to inputdata

void inputdata() {

/* variable definition: */

float Rain=1.0; 

// Input Data

for (int year=0;year < NUMYEARS; year++) {

for (int month=0; month< NUMMONTHS; month++) {

printf("Enter rain for %d, %d:n", year+1, month+1);

scanf("%f",&Rain);

Raindata[year][month]=Rain; 

}

}

}

// Function to printdata

void printdata(){

// Print data

printf ("yeart montht rainn");

for (int year=0;year < NUMYEARS; year++) {

for (int month=0; month< NUMMONTHS; month++) {

printf("%st %st %5.2fn", years[year],months[month],Raindata[year][month]); 

} 

}

}

Learning Exercises for you to complete

1. Demonstrate you successfully followed the steps in this lab by preparing screen captures of you running the lab as specified in the Instructions above.

2. Modify the program to add a function to sum the rainfall for each year. (Hint: you need to sum for each year. You can do this using a looping structure). Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the new code.

3. Enhance the program to allow the user to enter another meteorological element such as windspeed (e.g. 2.4 mph). Note, the user should be able to enter both rainfall and windspeed in your new implementation. Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the new code.

4. Prepare a new test table with at least 2 distinct test cases listing input and expected output for the new code you created allowing the user to enter another meteorological element.

5.  What happens if you change the NUMMONTHS and NUMYEARS definitions to other values? Be sure to use both lower and higher values. Describe and implement fixes for any issues if errors results. Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the new code.
