Science-Driven Development of Supercomputer Fugaku
Special Contribution Science-driven Development of Supercomputer Fugaku Hirofumi Tomita Flagship 2020 Project, Team Leader RIKEN Center for Computational Science In this article, I would like to take a historical look at activities on the application side during supercomputer Fugaku’s climb to the top of supercomputer rankings as seen from a vantage point in early July 2020. I would like to describe, in particular, the change in mindset that took place on the application side along the path toward Fugaku’s top ranking in four benchmarks in 2020 that all began with the Application Working Group and Computer Architecture/Compiler/ System Software Working Group in 2011. Somewhere along this path, the application side joined forces with the architecture/system side based on the keyword “co-design.” During this journey, there were times when our opinions clashed and when efforts to solve problems came to a halt, but there were also times when we took bold steps in a unified manner to surmount difficult obstacles. I will leave the description of specific technical debates to other articles, but here, I would like to describe the flow of Fugaku development from the application side based heavily on a “science-driven” approach along with some of my personal opinions. Actually, we are only halfway along this path. We look forward to the many scientific achievements and so- lutions to social problems that Fugaku is expected to bring about. 1. Introduction In this article, I would like to take a look back at On June 22, 2020, the supercomputer Fugaku the flow along the path toward Fugaku’s top ranking became the first supercomputer in history to simul- as seen from the application side from a vantage point taneously rank No. -

Toward IFVM Virtual Machine: a Model Driven IFML Interpretation
Toward IFVM Virtual Machine: A Model Driven IFML Interpretation Sara Gotti and Samir Mbarki MISC Laboratory, Faculty of Sciences, Ibn Tofail University, BP 133, Kenitra, Morocco Keywords: Interaction Flow Modelling Language IFML, Model Execution, Unified Modeling Language (UML), IFML Execution, Model Driven Architecture MDA, Bytecode, Virtual Machine, Model Interpretation, Model Compilation, Platform Independent Model PIM, User Interfaces, Front End. Abstract: UML is the first international modeling language standardized since 1997. It aims at providing a standard way to visualize the design of a system, but it can't model the complex design of user interfaces and interactions. However, according to MDA approach, it is necessary to apply the concept of abstract models to user interfaces too. IFML is the OMG adopted (in March 2013) standard Interaction Flow Modeling Language designed for abstractly expressing the content, user interaction and control behaviour of the software applications front-end. IFML is a platform independent language, it has been designed with an executable semantic and it can be mapped easily into executable applications for various platforms and devices. In this article we present an approach to execute the IFML. We introduce a IFVM virtual machine which translate the IFML models into bytecode that will be interpreted by the java virtual machine. 1 INTRODUCTION a fundamental standard fUML (OMG, 2011), which is a subset of UML that contains the most relevant The software development has been affected by the part of class diagrams for modeling the data apparition of the MDA (OMG, 2015) approach. The structure and activity diagrams to specify system trend of the 21st century (BRAMBILLA et al., behavior; it contains all UML elements that are 2014) which has allowed developers to build their helpful for the execution of the models. -
A Brief History of Just-In-Time Compilation
A Brief History of Just-In-Time JOHN AYCOCK University of Calgary Software systems have been using “just-in-time” compilation (JIT) techniques since the 1960s. Broadly, JIT compilation includes any translation performed dynamically, after a program has started execution. We examine the motivation behind JIT compilation and constraints imposed on JIT compilation systems, and present a classification scheme for such systems. This classification emerges as we survey forty years of JIT work, from 1960–2000. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.3.4 [Programming Languages]: Processors; K.2 [History of Computing]: Software General Terms: Languages, Performance Additional Key Words and Phrases: Just-in-time compilation, dynamic compilation 1.

The CLR's Execution Model
C01621632.fm Page 3 Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:49 PM Chapter 1 The CLR’s Execution Model In this chapter: Compiling Source Code into Managed Modules . 3 Combining Managed Modules into Assemblies . 6 Loading the Common Language Runtime. 8 Executing Your Assembly’s Code. 11 The Native Code Generator Tool: NGen.exe . 19 Introducing the Framework Class Library . 22 The Common Type System. 24 The Common Language Specification . 26 Interoperability with Unmanaged Code. 30 The Microsoft .NET Framework introduces many new concepts, technologies, and terms. My goal in this chapter is to give you an overview of how the .NET Framework is designed, intro- duce you to some of the new technologies the framework includes, and define many of the terms you’ll be seeing when you start using it. I’ll also take you through the process of build- ing your source code into an application or a set of redistributable components (files) that contain types (classes, structures, etc.) and then explain how your application will execute. Compiling Source Code into Managed Modules OK, so you’ve decided to use the .NET Framework as your development platform. Great! Your first step is to determine what type of application or component you intend to build. Let’s just assume that you’ve completed this minor detail; everything is designed, the specifications are written, and you’re ready to start development. Now you must decide which programming language to use. This task is usually difficult because different languages offer different capabilities. For example, in unmanaged C/C++, you have pretty low-level control of the system. -

Executing UML Models
Executing UML Models Miguel Pinto Luz1, Alberto Rodrigues da Silva1 1Instituto Superior Técnico Av. Rovisco Pais 1049-001 Lisboa – Portugal {miguelluz, alberto.silva}@acm.org Abstract. Software development evolution is a history of permanent seeks for raising the abstraction level to new limits overcoming new frontiers. Executable UML (xUML) comes this way as the expectation to achieve the next level in abstraction, offering the capability of deploying a xUML model in a variety of software environments and platforms without any changes. This paper comes as a first expedition inside xUML, exploring the main aspects of its specification including the action languages support and the fundamental MDA compliance. In this paper is presented a future new xUML tool called XIS-xModels that gives Microsoft Visio new capabilities of running and debugging xUML models. This paper is an outline of the capabilities and main features of the future application. Keywords: UML, executable UML, Model Debugging, Action Language. 1. Introduction In a dictionary we find that an engineer is a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, planning and directing, but an information technology engineer is someone that spends is time on implementing lines of code, instead of being focus on planning and projecting. Processes, meetings, models, documents, or even code are superfluous artifacts for organizations: all they need is well design and fast implemented working system, that moves them towards a new software development paradigm, based on high level executable models. According this new paradigm it should be possible to reduce development time and costs, and to bring new product quality warranties, only reachable by executing, debugging and testing early design stages (models). -
