Towards a user-centric HPC-QC environment
DescriptionRobust execution environments for quantum computing can aid the industry with key challenges like application development, portability, and reproducibility, and help unlock the development of more modular quantum program, driving forward hybrid quantum workflows.
In this work, we show progress towards a basic, but portable, runtime environment for developing and executing hybrid quantum-classical programs running in High Performance Computing environments enhanced with Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). The middleware includes a second layer of scheduling after the main HPC resource manager in order to improve the utilization of the QPU, and extra functionality for observability, monitoring, and admin access.
We show how this allows us to manage several programming Software Development Kits as first-class citizens in the environment by building on a recently proposed vendor-neutral Quantum Resource Management Interface (QRMI). Lastly, we discuss and show a solution for the monitoring and observability stack, completing our description of the hybrid system architecture.
