The coming decade is going to see a push towards exascale computing. Assuming gigahertz cores, this means exascale systems will have between 100 million and 1 billion of them to achieve this level of performance. At this scale, some important questions need to be answered on the applications end. What applications are feasible at this scale? What needs to be done to make them scalable? How does the...
As GPUs are increasingly used to accelerate HPC applications by allowing more flexibility and programmability, their fault tolerance is becoming much more important than before when they were used only for graphics. The current generation of GPUs, however, does not have standard error detection and correction capabilities, such as SEC-DED ECC for DRAM, which is almost always exercised in HPC servers...
We explore the multisend interface as a data mover interface to optimize applications with neighborhood collective communication operations. One of the limitations of the current MPI 2.1 standard is that the vector collective calls require counts and displacements (zero and non-zero bytes) to be specified for all the processors in the communicator. Further, all the collective calls in MPI 2.1 are...
While GPGPU stands for general-purpose computation on graphics processing units, the lack of explicit support for inter-block communication on the GPU arguably hampers its broader adoption as a general-purpose computing device. Interblock communication on the GPU occurs via global memory and then requires barrier synchronization across the blocks, i.e., inter-block GPU communication via barrier synchronization...
