ABSTRACT:
The design and development of current generation supercomputing
systems is fueled by the increasing use of multi-core
processors, accelerators and high-speed interconnects,
However, scientific applications are unable to fully
harness the computing power offered by current generation
systems. Two of the most significant challenges are communication/synchronization latency
and power consumption. Emerging parallel programming
models offer asynchronous communication primitives that
can, in theory, allow applications to achieve latency hiding.
However, delivering near perfect communication/computation overlap
is non-trivial. Modern hardware components are designed
to aggressively conserve power during periods of inactivity.
However, supercomputing systems are rarely idle and software libraries
need to be designed in a power-aware manner. In our work, we address both of critical problems. We propose hardware-based non-blocking MPI collective operations and re-design parallel applications to achieve better performance through latency hiding. We also propose power-aware MPI collective operations to deliver fine-grained power-savings to applications with minimal performance overheads.
