Market risk management is a critical, resourceintensive task for financial trading firms. The industry relies heavily on innovation in technical infrastructure to increase the quality and quantity of risk management information and to reduce the cost of its production. However, until recently, the industry has lacked an independent standard for gauging the potential of new technologies to help. This changed when the STAC BenchmarkTM Council developed STAC-A2TM, a vendorindependent benchmark suite based on real-world market risk analysis workloads. It was specified by trading firms and made actionable by leading HPC vendors. Unlike vendor-developed benchmarks known to the authors, STAC-A2 satisfies all of the requirements important to end-user firms: relevance, neutrality, scalability, and completeness. Intel has demonstrated the utility of STAC-A2 for comparing successive generations of Intel® Xeon® processors.
市场风险管理对金融交易公司来说是一项关键的资源密集型任务。该行业严重依赖技术基础设施的创新,以提高风险管理信息的质量和数量,并降低其生产成本。然而,直到最近,该行业还缺乏一个独立的标准来衡量新技术的帮助潜力。当STAC BenchmarkTM委员会开发了基于真实市场风险分析工作负载的独立于供应商的基准套件STAC- a2tm后,这种情况发生了变化。它由贸易公司指定,并由领先的HPC供应商执行。与作者已知的供应商开发的基准不同,STAC-A2满足最终用户公司的所有重要需求:相关性、中立性、可伸缩性和完整性。英特尔已经展示了用于比较连续几代英特尔®至强®处理器的STAC-A2的实用性。

Energy efficiency is an increasingly important requirement for computing and communication systems, especially with their increasing pervasiveness. The IEEE 802.3az protocol reduces the network energy consumption by turning active copper Ethernet links to a low power model when no traffic exists. However, the effect of 802.3az heavily depends on the network traffic patterns which makes system level energy optimization challenging. In clusters, distributed data intensive applications that generate heavy network traffic are common, and in turn the required network devices can consume large amounts of energy. In this research, we examined the 802.3az technology with the goal of applying it in clusters. We defined an energy budget calculator that takes energy-efficient Ethernet into account by including the energy models derived from tests of 802.3az enabled devices. The calculator is an integral tool in a global strategy to optimize the energy usage of applications in a high performance computing environment. We show a few practical examples of how real applications can better plan their execution by integrating this knowledge in their decision strategies.
能源效率是计算和通信系统日益重要的要求,特别是随着它们的日益普及。IEEE 802.3az协议通过在没有流量的情况下将活跃的铜以太网链路转换为低功耗模式来降低网络能耗。然而,802.3az的效果严重依赖于网络流量模式,这使得系统级能量优化具有挑战性。在集群中,产生大量网络流量的分布式数据密集型应用程序很常见,而所需的网络设备又会消耗大量的能量。在本研究中,我们研究了802.3az技术,目标是将其应用于集群中。我们定义了一个能源预算计算器,通过包括从支持802.3az的设备的测试中得出的能源模型,将节能以太网考虑在内。计算器是优化高性能计算环境中应用程序的能源使用的全局策略中不可或缺的工具。我们将展示一些实际示例,说明实际应用程序如何通过将这些知识集成到其决策策略中来更好地规划其执行。

Summary form only given. One of the major challenges of modern quantum chemistry (QC) is to apply it to large systems with thousands of correlated electrons and basis functions. The availability of supercomputers and development of novel methods are necessary to realize this challenge. In particular, we employ linear scaling Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method which decompose the large system into smaller, localized fragments which can be treated with high-level QC method like MP2. FMO is inherently scalable since the individual fragment calculations can be carried out simultaneously on separate processor groups. It is implemented in GAMESS, a popular ab-initio QC program. We present the scalability and performance of FMO on Intrepid (Blue Gene/P) and Blue Gene/Q systems at ALCF.

Load Balanced Parallel GPU Out-of-Core for Continuous LOD Model Visualization 负载均衡并行GPU核外连续LOD模型可视化
Pub Date : 2012-11-10 DOI: 10.1109/SC.Companion.2012.37

Rendering massive 3D models has been recognized as a challenging task. Due to the limited size of GPU memory, a massive model with hundreds of millions of primitives cannot fit into most of modern GPUs. By applying parallel Level-Of-Detail (LOD), as proposed in [1], transferring only a portion of primitives rather than the whole to the GPU is sufficient for generating a desired simplified version of the model. However, the low bandwidth in CPU-GPU communication make data-transferring a very time-consuming process that prevents users from achieving high-performance rendering of massive 3D models on a single-GPU system. This paper explores a device-level parallel design that distributes the workloads in a multi-GPU multi-display system. Our multi-GPU out-of-core uses a load-balancing method and seamlessly integrates with the parallel LOD algorithm. Our experiments show highly interactive frame rates of the “Boeing 777” airplane model that consists of over 332 million triangles and over 223 million vertices.
渲染大量3D模型被认为是一项具有挑战性的任务。由于GPU内存的大小有限,具有数亿个原语的大型模型无法适应大多数现代GPU。通过应用[1]中提出的并行细节级(LOD),仅将原语的一部分而不是全部传输到GPU,就足以生成所需的模型简化版本。然而,CPU-GPU通信的低带宽使得数据传输成为一个非常耗时的过程,这阻碍了用户在单gpu系统上实现大规模3D模型的高性能渲染。本文探讨了一种在多gpu多显示系统中分配工作负载的设备级并行设计。我们的多gpu外核使用负载平衡方法,并与并行LOD算法无缝集成。我们的实验显示了“波音777”飞机模型的高交互帧率,该模型由超过3.32亿个三角形和超过2.23亿个顶点组成。

Efforts such as the Human Genome Project provided a dramatic example of opening scientific datasets to the community. Making high quality scientific data accessible through an online database allows scientists around the world to multiply the value of that data through scientific innovations. Similarly, the goal of the Materials Project is to calculate physical properties of all known inorganic materials and make this data freely available, with the goal of accelerating to invention of better materials. However, the complexity of scientific data, and the complexity of the simulations needed to generate and analyze it, pose challenges to current software ecosystem. In this paper, we describe the approach we used in the Materials Project to overcome these challenges and create and disseminate a high quality database of materials properties computed by solving the basic laws of physics. Our infrastructure requires a novel combination of highthroughput approaches with broadly applicable and scalable approaches to data storage and dissemination.

The PEPPHER Composition Tool: Performance-Aware Dynamic Composition of Applications for GPU-Based Systems PEPPHER组合工具:基于gpu系统的应用程序的性能感知动态组合

The PEPPHER component model defines an environment for annotation of native C/C++ based components for homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore and manycore systems, including GPU and multi-GPU based systems. For the same computational functionality, captured as a component, different sequential and explicitly parallel implementation variants using various types of execution units might be provided, together with metadata such as explicitly exposed tunable parameters. The goal is to compose an application from its components and variants such that, depending on the run-time context, the most suitable implementation variant will be chosen automatically for each invocation. We describe and evaluate the PEPPHER composition tool, which explores the application's components and their implementation variants, generates the necessary low-level code that interacts with the runtime system, and coordinates the native compilation and linking of the various code units to compose the overall application code. With several applications, we demonstrate how the composition tool provides a high-level programming front-end while effectively utilizing the task-based PEPPHER runtime system (StarPU) underneath.

Towards Improving the Communication Performance of CRESTA's Co-Design Application NEK5000 提高CRESTA协同设计应用NEK5000的通信性能

In order to achieve exascale performance, all aspects of applications and system software need to be analysed and potentially improved. The EU FP7 project “Collaborative Research into Exascale Systemware, Tools & Applications” (CRESTA) uses co-design of advanced simulation applications and system software as well as related development tools as a key element in its approach towards exascale. In this paper we present first results of a co-design activity using the highly scalable application NEK5000. We have analysed the communication structure of NEK5000 and propose new, optimised collective communication operations that will allow to improve the performance of NEK5000 and to prepare it for the use on several millions of cores available in future HPC systems. The latency-optimised communication operations can also be beneficial in other contexts, for instance we expect them to become an important building block for a runtime-system providing dynamic load balancing, also under development within CRESTA.
为了达到百亿亿次的性能,应用程序和系统软件的各个方面都需要进行分析和潜在的改进。欧盟FP7项目“对Exascale系统软件、工具和应用程序的合作研究”(CRESTA)使用先进仿真应用程序和系统软件以及相关开发工具的共同设计作为其迈向Exascale方法的关键要素。在本文中,我们介绍了使用高度可扩展的应用程序NEK5000进行协同设计活动的第一批结果。我们分析了NEK5000的通信结构,并提出了新的、优化的集体通信操作,这将有助于提高NEK5000的性能,并为未来HPC系统中数百万核的使用做好准备。延迟优化的通信操作在其他环境中也可以是有益的,例如,我们期望它们成为提供动态负载平衡的运行时系统的重要构建块,也在CRESTA中开发。

As scientific computation continues to scale, efficient use of floating-point arithmetic processors is critical. Lower precision allows streaming architectures to perform more operations per second and can reduce memory bandwidth pressure on all architectures. However, using a precision that is too low for a given algorithm and data set leads to inaccurate results. We present a framework that uses binary instrumentation and modification to build mixed-precision configurations of existing binaries that were originally developed to use only double-precision. Initial results with the Algebraic MultiGrid kernel demonstrate a nearly 2χ speedup.
随着科学计算的不断扩展,浮点算术处理器的有效使用至关重要。较低的精度允许流架构每秒执行更多的操作,并且可以减少所有架构的内存带宽压力。然而,对于给定的算法和数据集,使用过低的精度会导致不准确的结果。我们提出了一个框架,该框架使用二进制工具和修改来构建混合精度配置的现有二进制文件,这些文件最初仅使用双精度。使用algeaic MultiGrid内核的初步结果显示了近2χ的加速。

Initial results with the Algebraic MultiGrid kernel demonstrate a nearly 2χ speedup.","PeriodicalId":6346,"journal":{"name":"2012 SC Companion: High Performance Computing, Networking Storage and Analysis","volume":"96 1","pages":"1424-1424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88408077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PEPPHER is a 3-year EU FP7 project that develops a novel approach and framework to enhance performance portability and programmability of heterogeneous multi-core systems. Its primary target is single-node heterogeneous systems, where several CPU cores are supported by accelerators such as GPUs. This poster briefly surveys the PEPPHER framework for single-node systems, and elaborates on the prospectives for leveraging the PEPPHER approach to generate performance-portable code for heterogeneous multi-node systems.
PEPPHER是一个为期3年的欧盟FP7项目,旨在开发一种新的方法和框架,以增强异构多核系统的性能可移植性和可编程性。它的主要目标是单节点异构系统,其中由gpu等加速器支持多个CPU内核。这张海报简要介绍了单节点系统的PEPPHER框架,并详细阐述了利用PEPPHER方法为异构多节点系统生成性能可移植代码的前景。
