Efficient and Scalable Runtime for GAS Programming Models on Petascale Systems
SESSION: George Michael HPC Fellow Presentation
EVENT TYPE: Other Events and Receptions
TIME: 10:30AM - 11:00AM
SESSION CHAIR: Bruce Loftis
Presenter(s):Xinyu Que
ROOM:155-E
ABSTRACT:
Global Address Space (GAS) programming models enable a convenient, shared-memory style addressing model. Typically this is realized through one-sided operations that can enable asynchronous communication and data movement. On the petascale systems, the underlying runtime systems face critical challenges in (1) scalably managing resources (such as memory for communication buffers), and (2) gracefully handling unpredictable communication patterns and any associated contention. This talk will first present a Hierarchical Cooperation architecture for Scalable communication in GAS programming models. Then, it will cover the techniques used for the implementation on a popular GAS runtime library, Aggregate Remote Memory Copy Interface (ARMCI). Finally, experimental results will be discussed to show that our architecture is able to realize scalable resource management and achieve resilience to network contention, while at the same time maintaining and/or enhancing the performance of scientific applications.
