2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers
52 // Architectures 2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers 2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers 2.5.1 Granularity In parallel computing, granularity means the amount of computation in relation to communication or synchronisation Periods of computation are typically separated from periods of communication by synchronization events. • fine level (same operations with different data) ◦ vector processors ◦ instruction level parallelism ◦ fine-grain parallelism: – Relatively small amounts of computational work are done between communication events – Low computation to communication ratio – Facilitates load balancing 53 // Architectures 2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers – Implies high communication overhead and less opportunity for per- formance enhancement – If granularity is too fine it is possible that the overhead required for communications and synchronization between tasks takes longer than the computation. • operation level (different operations simultaneously) • problem level (independent subtasks) ◦ coarse-grain parallelism: – Relatively large amounts of computational work are done between communication/synchronization events – High computation to communication ratio – Implies more opportunity for performance increase – Harder to load balance efficiently 54 // Architectures 2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers 2.5.2 Hardware: Pipelining (was used in supercomputers, e.g. Cray-1) In N elements in pipeline and for 8 element L clock cycles =) for calculation it would take L + N cycles; without pipeline L ∗ N cycles Example of good code for pipelineing: §doi =1 ,k ¤ z ( i ) =x ( i ) +y ( i ) end do ¦ 55 // Architectures 2.5 Classification of Parallel Computers Vector processors, fast vector operations (operations on arrays).

Centralized shared memory architectures – Small #’s of processors (≈ up to 16-32) – Processors share a centralized memory – Usually connected in a bus – Also called UMA machines ( Uniform Memory Access) 2. Machines w/physically distributed memory – Support many processors – Memory distributed among processors – Scales the mem bandwidth if most of the accesses are to local mem 5 Figure 5.1 6 Figure 5.2 7 2. Machines w/physically distributed memory (cont) – Also reduces the memory latency – Of course interprocessor communication is more costly and complex – Often each node is a cluster (bus based multiprocessor) – 2 types, depending on method used for interprocessor communication: 1. -

Demystifying Parallel and Distributed Deep Learning: an In-Depth Concurrency Analysis
1 Demystifying Parallel and Distributed Deep Learning: An In-Depth Concurrency Analysis TAL BEN-NUN and TORSTEN HOEFLER, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are becoming an important tool in modern computing applications. Accelerating their training is a major challenge and techniques range from distributed algorithms to low-level circuit design. In this survey, we describe the problem from a theoretical perspective, followed by approaches for its parallelization. We present trends in DNN architectures and the resulting implications on parallelization strategies. We then review and model the different types of concurrency in DNNs: from the single operator, through parallelism in network inference and training, to distributed deep learning. We discuss asynchronous stochastic optimization, distributed system architectures, communication schemes, and neural architecture search. Based on those approaches, we extrapolate potential directions for parallelism in deep learning.
