    Analytical Communication Performance Models as a metric in the partitioning of data-parallel kernels on heterogeneous platforms
    (Springer, 2019) Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Díaz Martín, Juan Carlos; Calvo Jurado, Carmen; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; García Zapata, Juan Luis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8435-3844; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-081X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1419-1672
    Data partitioning on heterogeneous HPC platforms is formulated as an optimization problem. The algorithm departs from the communication performance models of the processes representing their speeds and outputs a data tiling that minimizes the communication cost. Traditionally, communication volume is the metric used to guide the partitioning, but such metric is unable to capture the complexities introduced by uneven communication channels and the variety of patterns in the kernel communications. We discuss Analytical Communication Performance Models as a new metric in partitioning algorithms. They have not been considered in the past because of two reasons: prediction inaccuracy and lack of tools to automatically build and solve kernel communication formal expressions. We show how communication performance models fit the specific kernel and platform, and we present results that equal or even improve previous volume-based strategies.

    Performance evaluation of model-driven partitioning algorithms for data-parallel kernels on heterogeneous platforms
    (Wiley, 2019) Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Díaz Martín, Juan Carlos; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Calvo Jurado, Carmen; García Zapata, Juan Luis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8435-3844; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-081X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1419-1672
    Data- parallel applications running on heterogeneous high-performance computing platforms require a nonuniform distribution of the workload between available processes. Data partitioning algorithms are formulated as an optimization problem. Departing from the computational performance models of the processes, the goal is to find the partition that minimizes the communication cost. Traditionally, communication volume is the metric used to guide the partitioning. This metric, however, is unable to capture the complexity of current heterogeneous systems, which show uneven communication channels and execute applications with different communication patterns. In this paper, we discuss the role of analytical communication performance models as a metric in partitioning algorithms. First, we describe a method to programmatically predict the communication cost of a data-parallel kernel based on the τ-Lop analytical model. We show that this figure better captures the communication features of applications and platforms. We present results showing that this approach builds partitions that equal or improve the performance of data parallel applications on heterogeneous platforms with respect to previous volume-based strategies.
