Bamboo - Translating MPI Applications to a Latency-Tolerant, Data-Driven Form

SESSION: Compiler-Based Analysis and Optimization

EVENT TYPE: Papers

TIME: 10:30AM - 11:00AM

SESSION CHAIR: Xipeng Shen

AUTHOR(S):Tan Nguyen, Pietro Cicotti, Eric Bylaska, Dan Quinlan, Scott Baden

ROOM:255-EF

ABSTRACT:
We present Bamboo, a custom source-to-source translator that transforms MPI C source into a data-driven form that automatically overlaps communication with available computation. Running on up to 98304 processors of NERSCs Hopper system, we observe that Bamboos overlap capability speeds up MPI implementations of a 3D Jacobi iterative solver and Cannons matrix multiplication. Bamboos generated code meets or exceeds the performance of hand optimized MPI, which includes split-phase coding, the method classically employed to hide communication. We achieved our results with only modest amounts of programmer annotation and no intrusive reprogramming of the original application source.
