Adding shared memory parallelism to FLASH for many-core architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss evolutionary changes to FLASH to enable enhanced applications to run efficiently on both the current generation BG/P and the next generation BG/Q. We motivate the need for change by discussing current FLASH applications and the challenges they are facing on today’s architectures. Our solution to current challenges with a view to the next generation is mixed-mode MPI+OpenMP FLASH applications. We show some preliminary results and discuss next steps.

A simulation suite for Lattice-Boltzmann based real-time CFD applications exploiting multi-level parallelism on modern multi- and many-core architectures
We present a software approach to hardware-oriented numerics which builds upon an augmented, previously published set of open-source libraries facilitating portable code development and optimisation on a wide range of modern computer architectures. In order to maximise efficiency, we exploit all levels of parallelism, including vectorisation within CPU cores, the Cell BE and GPUs, shared memory...
متن کاملA Study of Performance Scalability by Parallelizing Loop Iterations on Multi-core SMPs
Today, the challenge is to exploit the parallelism available in the way of multi-core architectures by the software. This could be done by re-writing the application, by exploiting the hardware capabilities or expect the compiler/software runtime tools to do the job for us. With the advent of multi-core architectures ([1] [2]), this problem is becoming more and more relevant. Even today, there ...
متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of OpenMP Language Constructs on a Many-core-on-a-chip Architecture
Recent emerging many-core-on-a-chip architectures present massive on-chip parallelism through hardware support for multithreading. In order to achieve fast development of parallel applications that exploit this massive intrachip parallelism to achieve highly sustainable performance, suitable programming models are needed. OpenMP, the industry de facto standard for writing parallel programs on s...
متن کاملLightSpeed: A Many-core Scheduling Algorithm
The world is heading towards many-core architectures due to many well-known and important present-day research issues: power consumption, clock speed limits, critical path lengths, etc. While existing many-core machines have traditionally been handled in the same way as SMPs, this magnitude of parallelism introduces several fundamental challenges at the architectural level which translates to n...
متن کاملSynchronization and Pipelining on Multicore: Shaping Parallelism for a New Generation of Processors
The potential for higher performance from increasing on-chip transistor densities, on the one hand, and the limitations in instruction-level parallelism of sequential applications and in the scalability of increasingly complicated superscalar and multithreaded architectures, on the other, are leading the microprocessor industry to embrace chip multi-processors as a cost-effective solution for t...
