This report captures the summary of a 9-day program of presentations, keynotes, and workshops at the SC20 conference, one of the most prominent events on sharing ideas and results in HPC technology R&D. Because of the exceptional situation caused by COVID-19, the conference was held entirely online from 11/9 to 11/19 2020, and interestingly caught more attention on using HPC to make a breakthrough in the area of vaccine and cure for COVID-19. The program brought together 103 papers from 21 countries, along with 163 presentations in 24 workshop sessions. The event has covered several key areas in HPC technology, including new memory hierarchy and interconnects for different accelerators, evaluation of parallel programming models, as well as simulation and modeling in traditional science applications. Notably, there was increasing interest in AI and Big Data analytics as well. With this summary of the recent HPC trend readers may find useful information to guide the R&D directions for challenging new technologies and applications in the area of HPC.

  • Exploiting Cache Side Channels on CPU-FPGA Cloud Platforms
    Exploiting Cache Side-Channels on CPU-FPGA Cloud Platforms Cache-basierte Seitenkanalangriffe auf CPU-FPGA Cloud Plattformen Masterarbeit im Rahmen des Studiengangs Informatik der Universität zu Lübeck vorgelegt von Thore Tiemann ausgegeben und betreut von Prof. Dr. Thomas Eisenbarth Lübeck, den 09. Januar 2020 Abstract Cloud service providers invest more and more in FPGA infrastructure to offer it to their customers (IaaS). FPGA use cases include the acceleration of artificial intelligence applica- tions. While physical attacks on FPGAs got a lot of attention by researchers just recently, nobody focused on micro-architectural attacks in the context of FPGA yet. We take the first step into this direction and investigate the timing behavior of memory reads on two Intel FPGA platforms that were designed to be used in a cloud environment: a Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC) and a Xeon CPU with an integrated FPGA that has an additional coherent local cache. By using the Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) and the Core Cache Interface (CCI-P), our setup represents a realistic cloud scenario. We show that an Acceleration Functional Unit (AFU) on either platform can, with the help of a self-designed hardware timer, distinguish which of the different parts of the memory hierarchy serves the response for memory reads. On the integrated platform, the same is true for the CPU, as it can differentiate between answers from the FPGA cache, the CPU cache, and the main memory. Next, we analyze the effect of the caching hints offered by the CCI-P on the location of written cache lines in the memory hierarchy and show that most cache lines get cached in the LLC of the CPU.

    Linux Plumbers Conference 2021 Contribution ID: 27 Type: not specified VFIO/IOMMU/PCI MC The PCI interconnect specification, the devices that implement it, and the system IOMMUs that provide mem- ory and access control to them are nowadays a de-facto standard for connecting high speed components, incorporating more and more features such as: • Address Translation Service (ATS)/Page Request Interface (PRI) • Single-root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)/Process Address Space ID (PASID) • Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) • Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) • Peer-to-Peer DMA (P2PDMA) • Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) • Compute Express Link (CXL) • Data Object Exchange (DOE) • Gen-Z These features are aimed at high-performance systems, server and desktop computing, embedded andSoC platforms, virtualization, and ubiquitous IoT devices. The kernel code that enables these new system features focuses on coordination between the PCI devices,the IOMMUs they are connected to and the VFIO layer used to manage them (for userspace access and device passthrough) with related kernel interfaces and userspace APIs to be designed in-sync and in a clean way for all three sub-systems. The VFIO/IOMMU/PCI micro-conference focuses on the kernel code that enables these new system features that often require coordination between the VFIO, IOMMU and PCI sub-systems. Following up the successful LPC 2017, 2019 and 2020 VFIO/IOMMU/PCI micro-conference, the Linux Plumbers Conference 2021 VFIO/IOMMU/PCI track will therefore focus on promoting discussions on the current ker- nel patches aimed at VFIO/IOMMU/PCI sub-systems with specific sessions targeting discussion for the kernel patches that enable technology (e.g., device/sub-device assignment, PCI core, IOMMU virtualization, VFIO up- dates, etc.) requiring the three sub-systems coordination.
