INTERVIEW: ELLIOT MACGOWAN, COO AT AGNOSTIQ

As one of the leading sponsors at Quantum.Tech Boston 2022, we caught up with
Elliot macgowan, COO at Agnostiq who explored Agnostiq as a business and what
they do, what motivated Agnostiq to build Covalent and what they are looking
forward to for Quantum.Tech Boston.


For those who are not aware of Agnostiq; are you able to give us a bit of an
insight into your business?

Agnostiq develops software tools and applications that aim to make quantum and
high performance computing resources more accessible to enterprises and
developers. Agnostiq is the team behind Covalent, an open source workflow
orchestration platform designed to help users manage and execute tasks across
heterogeneous compute resources (CPUs, GPUs, QPUs and more). You can learn more
about Covalent on our website and on our Github. We are based in Toronto, Canada
with team members all across North America.

What can you tell us about Covalent?

Covalent is an open source Pythonic workflow tool used to execute tasks on
advanced computing hardware. It is designed to make it easy for users to keep
track of their computationally heavy experiments by providing a simple and
intuitive framework to store, modify, and re-analyze computational experiments.

Among its many features, Covalent enables users to:

 * Rapidly iterate and prototype exploratory research models
 * Automate, manage, and share reproducible experiments
 * Visualize data and task dependencies with an interactive graphical user
   interface
 * Exploit knowledge of task dependencies to effortlessly parallelize tasks
   across multiple cores and distributed computing resources
 * Run code in heterogeneous compute environments, including in hybrid-cloud and
   hybrid-quantum configurations
 * Understand where time and money is spent across a project

Covalent is rapidly expanding to include support for a variety of cloud
interfaces, including HPC infrastructure tools developed by major cloud
providers as well as emerging quantum APIs.

How does it have the potential to optimize customer workflows?

Customer workflows are becoming more heterogeneous in nature. They utilize a
growing list of hardware types (CPUs, GPUs, QPUs), software languages (Julia, C,
Python) and frameworks (CUDA, PennyLane, Qiskit) to support them. Workloads are
also increasingly moving to the cloud, meaning customers need to be aware of all
the services available to them to help manage and benefit from the transition.
It also means that many jobs have become hybrid, where some part of the
customer’s workflow is done locally or using on-premise clusters.

While the net result of all this innovation is extremely positive for customers,
there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to make sure all of the new
tools and modalities are being used optimally. Covalent is designed to help
reign in this complexity, and to provide a simplified interface for the world’s
most heterogenous workflows. With features like checkpointing, scheduling,
monitoring, logging and alerting, Covalent brings the ideas of DevOps to the
scientific community, but with an easy-to-use, lightweight interface, requiring
only minimal changes to existing code.

What potential real world applications do you see for Covalent?

Covalent will be invaluable in any computationally intensive setting when using
classical or quantum hardware. Wherever HPC is used, Covalent will empower
scientists, engineers, business modelers, finance professionals and others to
submit, disaggregate, monitor and repeat their experiments and numerically
intensive compute jobs more easily and effectively. Any researcher running large
scale simulation or optimization workflows, or training machine learning models
will benefit from Covalent.

What motivated you to build Covalent?

Covalent started out as an internal project, built to help get our internal
research team up and running in a cost-effective manner. In the beginning, we
faced the dual challenge of wanting our research team to use the best hardware
and software available, without getting bogged down optimizing infrastructure.
We surveyed the landscape and found that there were no tools available that
could give us everything we needed in one package so we decided to roll our own.
It did not take us long to realize that all other teams would soon face the same
challenge. We saw more teams building their own DIY tools, which of course took
their time away from their core, differentiated work of developing new
algorithms and/or applications. Our hope is that Covalent will free them up from
this undifferentiated work, and allow them to focus on what they are truly
unique at.

You are kindly one of our sponsors at Quantum.Tech in Boston this June; what are
you looking forward to at the conference?

Agnostiq has exhibited at Quantum.Tech conferences in the past. We are always
impressed at the excellent planning and execution that goes on behind the scenes
to make such a successful conference. We are excited to soak up the ambiance,
meet great people across the spectrum from technical to business-minded, attend
some great talks on cutting-edge material, and just have fun in the beautiful
city of Boston. Please be sure to stop by our booth and say hi - if nothing
else, we have incredibly soft t-shirts for the taking.
