Other Apis What’S Wrong with Openmp?
Threaded Programming Other APIs What’s wrong with OpenMP? • OpenMP is designed for programs where you want a fixed number of threads, and you always want the threads to be consuming CPU cycles. – cannot arbitrarily start/stop threads – cannot put threads to sleep and wake them up later • OpenMP is good for programs where each thread is doing (more-or-less) the same thing. • Although OpenMP supports C++, it’s not especially OO friendly – though it is gradually getting better. • OpenMP doesn’t support other popular base languages – e.g. Java, Python What’s wrong with OpenMP? (cont.) Can do this Can do this Can’t do this Threaded programming APIs • Essential features – a way to create threads – a way to wait for a thread to finish its work – a mechanism to support thread private data – some basic synchronisation methods – at least a mutex lock, or atomic operations • Optional features – support for tasks – more synchronisation methods – e.g. condition variables, barriers,... – higher levels of abstraction – e.g. parallel loops, reductions What are the alternatives? • POSIX threads • C++ threads • Intel TBB • Cilk • OpenCL • Java (not an exhaustive list!) POSIX threads • POSIX threads (or Pthreads) is a standard library for shared memory programming without directives. – Part of the ANSI/IEEE 1003.1 standard (1996) • Interface is a C library – no standard Fortran interface – can be used with C++, but not OO friendly • Widely available – even for Windows – typically installed as part of OS – code is pretty portable • Lots of low-level control over behaviour of threads • Lacks a proper memory consistency model Thread forking #include <pthread.h> int pthread_create( pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr, void*(*start_routine, void*), void *arg) • Creates a new thread: – first argument returns a pointer to a thread descriptor.

OpenCL for programming shared memory multicore CPUs Akhtar Ali, Usman Dastgeer, and Christoph Kessler PELAB, Dept. of Computer and Information Science, Linköping University, Sweden [email protected] {usman.dastgeer,christoph.kessler}@liu.se Abstract. Shared memory multicore processor technology is pervasive in mainstream computing. This new architecture challenges programmers to write code that scales over these many cores to exploit the full compu- tational power of these machines. OpenMP and Intel Threading Build- ing Blocks (TBB) are two of the popular frameworks used to program these architectures. Recently, OpenCL has been defined as a standard by Khronos group which focuses on programming a possibly heteroge- neous set of processors with many cores such as CPU cores, GPUs, DSP processors. In this work, we evaluate the effectiveness of OpenCL for programming multicore CPUs in a comparative case study with OpenMP and Intel TBB for five benchmark applications: matrix multiply, LU decomposi- tion, 2D image convolution, Pi value approximation and image histogram generation. The evaluation includes the effect of compiler optimizations for different frameworks, OpenCL performance on different vendors’ plat- forms and the performance gap between CPU-specific and GPU-specific OpenCL algorithms for execution on a modern GPU.

In these systems, peak one of the two that support both GPUs and CPUs. Multiple performance includes the performance of not just the CPUs but also all available accelerators. In spite of this fact, the models however require code replication, and maintaining majority of programming models for heterogeneous computing two completely distinct implementations of a computational focus on only one of these. With the development of Accelerated kernel is a difﬁcult and error-prone proposition. That leaves OpenMP for GPUs, both from PGI and Cray, we have a clear us with using either OpenCL or accelerated OpenMP to path to extend traditional OpenMP applications incrementally complete the task. to use GPUs. The extensions are geared toward switching from CPU parallelism to GPU parallelism. However they OpenCL’s greatest strength lies in its broad hardware do not preserve the former while adding the latter. Thus support. In a way, though, that is also its greatest weak- computational potential is wasted since either the CPU cores ness. To enable one to program this disparate hardware or the GPU cores are left idle.

Implementing FPGA Design with the Opencl Standard
Implementing FPGA Design with the OpenCL Standard WP-01173-3.0 White Paper Utilizing the Khronos Group’s OpenCL™ standard on an FPGA may offer significantly higher performance and at much lower power than is available today from hardware architectures such as CPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs), and digital signal processing (DSP) units. In addition, an FPGA-based heterogeneous system (CPU + FPGA) using the OpenCL standard has a significant time-to-market advantage compared to traditional FPGA development using lower level hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL. 1 OpenCL and the OpenCL logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. used by permission by Khronos. Introduction The initial era of programmable technologies contained two different extremes of programmability. As illustrated in Figure 1, one extreme was represented by single core CPU and digital signal processing (DSP) units. These devices were programmable using software consisting of a list of instructions to be executed. These instructions were created in a manner that was conceptually sequential to the programmer, although an advanced processor could reorder instructions to extract instruction-level parallelism from these sequential programs at run time. In contrast, the other extreme of programmable technology was represented by the FPGA. These devices are programmed by creating configurable hardware circuits, which execute completely in parallel. A designer using an FPGA is essentially creating a massively- fine-grained parallel application. For many years, these extremes coexisted with each type of programmability being applied to different application domains. However, recent trends in technology scaling have favored technologies that are both programmable and parallel. Figure 1.

Of the Threading Building Blocks Flow Graph API, a C++ API for Expressing Dependency, Streaming and Data Flow Applications
Episode 15: A Proving Ground for Open Standards Host: Nicole Huesman, Intel Guests: Mike Voss, Intel; Andrew Lumsdaine, Northwest Institute for Advanced Computing ___________________________________________________________________________ Nicole Huesman: Welcome to Code Together, an interview series exploring the possibilities of cross- architecture development with those who live it. I’m your host, Nicole Huesman. In earlier episodes, we’ve talked about the need to make it easier for developers to build code for heterogeneous environments in the face of increasingly diverse and data-intensive workloads. And the industry shift to modern C++ with the C++11 release. Today, we’ll continue that conversation, exploring parallelism and heterogeneous computing from a user’s perspective with: Andrew Lumsdaine. As Chief Scientist at the Northwest Institute for Advanced Computing, Andrew wears at least two hats: Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Lab, and Affiliate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. By spanning a university and a national lab, Andrew has the opportunity to work on research questions, and then translate those results into practice. His primary research interest is High Performance Computing, with a particular attention to scalable graph algorithms. I should also note that Andrew is a member of the oneAPI Technical Advisory Board. Andrew, so great to have you with us! Andrew Lumsdaine: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Nicole Huesman: And Mike Voss. Mike is a Principal Engineer at Intel, and was the original architect of the Threading Building Blocks flow graph API, a C++ API for expressing dependency, streaming and data flow applications.
