  • Debugging and Performance Analysis of Heterogenous HPC Applications
    DOI: 10.14529/jsfi200105 Tools for GPU Computing – Debugging and Performance Analysis of Heterogenous HPC Applications Michael Knobloch1, Bernd Mohr1 c The Authors 2020. This paper is published with open access at SuperFri.org General purpose GPUs are now ubiquitous in high-end supercomputing. All but one (the Japanese Fugaku system, which is based on ARM processors) of the announced (pre-)exascale systems contain vast amounts of GPUs that deliver the majority of the performance of these systems. Thus, GPU programming will be a necessity for application developers using high-end HPC systems. However, programming GPUs efficiently is an even more daunting task than tra- ditional HPC application development. This becomes even more apparent for large-scale systems containing thousands of GPUs. Orchestrating all the resources of such a system imposes a tremen- dous challenge to developers. Luckily a rich ecosystem of tools exist to assist developers in every development step of a GPU application at all scales. In this paper we present an overview of these tools and discuss their capabilities. We start with an overview of different GPU programming models, from low-level with CUDA over pragma- based models like OpenACC to high-level approaches like Kokkos. We discuss their respective tool interfaces as the main method for tools to obtain information on the execution of a kernel on the GPU. The main focus of this paper is on two classes of tools, debuggers and performance analysis tools. Debuggers help the developer to identify problems both on the CPU and GPU side as well as in the interplay of both.

  • High-Performance I/O Programming Models for Exascale Computing
    High-Performance I/O Programming Models for Exascale Computing SERGIO RIVAS-GOMEZ Doctoral Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2019 KTH Royal Institute of Technology School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science TRITA-EECS-AVL-2019:77 SE-100 44 Stockholm ISBN 978-91-7873-344-6 SWEDEN Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av Kungl Tekniska Högskolan framlägges till offentlig granskning för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen i högprestan- daberäkningar fredag den 29 Nov 2019 klockan 10.00 i B1, Brinellvägen 23, Bergs, våningsplan 1, Kungl Tekniska Högskolan, 114 28 Stockholm, Sverige. © Sergio Rivas-Gomez, Nov 2019 Tryck: Universitetsservice US AB iii Abstract The success of the exascale supercomputer is largely dependent on novel breakthroughs that overcome the increasing demands for high-performance I/O on HPC. Scientists are aggressively taking advantage of the available compute power of petascale supercomputers to run larger scale and higher- fidelity simulations. At the same time, data-intensive workloads have recently become dominant as well. Such use-cases inherently pose additional stress into the I/O subsystem, mostly due to the elevated number of I/O transactions. As a consequence, three critical challenges arise that are of paramount importance at exascale. First, while the concurrency of next-generation su- percomputers is expected to increase up to 1000 , the bandwidth and access × latency of the I/O subsystem is projected to remain roughly constant in com- parison. Storage is, therefore, on the verge of becoming a serious bottleneck. Second, despite upcoming supercomputers expected to integrate emerging non-volatile memory technologies to compensate for some of these limitations, existing programming models and interfaces (e.g., MPI-IO) might not provide any clear technical advantage when targeting distributed intra-node storage, let alone byte-addressable persistent memories.
