Download or read book Task Scheduling for Multi core and Parallel Architectures written by Quan Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents task-scheduling techniques for emerging complex parallel architectures including heterogeneous multi-core architectures, warehouse-scale datacenters, and distributed big data processing systems. The demand for high computational capacity has led to the growing popularity of multicore processors, which have become the mainstream in both the research and real-world settings. Yet to date, there is no book exploring the current task-scheduling techniques for the emerging complex parallel architectures. Addressing this gap, the book discusses state-of-the-art task-scheduling techniques that are optimized for different architectures, and which can be directly applied in real parallel systems. Further, the book provides an overview of the latest advances in task-scheduling policies in parallel architectures, and will help readers understand and overcome current and emerging issues in this field.

Download or read book Transactional Memory written by Tim Harris and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to coordinate concurrent threads. The ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation) properties of transactions provide a foundation to ensure that con-current reads and writes of shared data do not produce inconsistent or incorrect results. At a higher level, a computation wrapped in a transaction executes atomically---either it completes successfully and commits its result in its entirety or it aborts. In addition, isolation ensures the transaction produces the same result as if no other transactions were executing concurrently. Although transactions are not a parallel programming panacea, they shift much of the burden of synchronizing and co-ordinating parallel computations from a programmer to a compiler, to a language runtime system, or to hardware. The challenge for the system implementers is to build an efficient transactional memory infrastructure. This book presents an overview of the state of the art in the design and implementation of transactional memory systems, as of early spring 2010.

Download or read book High performance computing for solving large sparse systems Optical diffraction tomography as a case of study written by Gloria Ortega López and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis, entitled €High Performance Computing for solving large sparse systems. Optical Diffraction Tomography as a case of study€ investigates the computational issues related to the resolution of linear systems of equations which come from the discretization of physical models described by means of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). These physical models are conceived for the description of the space-temporary behavior of some physical phenomena f(x, y, z, t) in terms of their variations (partial derivative) with respect to the dependent variables of the phenomena. There is a wide variety of discretization methods for PDEs. Two of the most well-known methods are the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). Both methods result in an algebraic description of the model that can be translated into the approach of a linear system of equations of type (Ax = b), where A is a sparse matrix (a high percentage of zero elements) whose size depends on the required accuracy of the modeled phenomena. This thesis begins with the algebraic description of the model associated with the physical phenomena, and the work herein has been focused on the design of techniques and computational models that allow the resolution of these linear systems of equations. The main interest of this study is specially focused on models which require a high level of discretization and usually generate sparse matrices, A, which have a highly sparse structure and large size. Literature characterizes these types of problems by their high demanding computational requirements (because of their fine degree of discretization) and the sparsity of the matrices involved, suggesting that these kinds of problems can only be solved using High Performance Computing techniques and architectures. One of the main goals of this thesis is the research of the possible alternatives which allow the implementation of routines to solve large and sparse linear systems of equations using High Performance Computing (HPC). The use of massively parallel platforms (GPUs) allows the acceleration of these routines, because they have several advantages for vectorial computation schemes. On the other hand, the use of distributed memory platforms allows the resolution of problems defined by matrices of enormous size. Finally, the combination of both techniques, distributed computation and multi-GPUs, will allow faster resolution of interesting problems in which large and sparse matrices are involved. In this line, one of the goals of this thesis is to supply the scientific community with implementations based on multi-GPU clusters to solve sparse linear systems of equations, which are the key in many scientific computations. The second part of this thesis is focused on a real physical problem of Optical Diffractional Tomography (ODT) based on holographic information. ODT is a non-damaging technique which allows the extraction of the shapes of objects with high accuracy. Therefore, this technique is very suitable to the in vivo study of real specimens, microorganisms, etc., and it also makes the investigation of their dynamics possible. A preliminary physical model based on a bidimensional reconstruction of the seeding particle distribution in fluids was proposed by J. Lobera and J.M. Coupland. However, its high computational cost (in both memory requirements and runtime) made compulsory the use of HPC techniques to extend the implementation to a three dimensional model. In the second part of this thesis, the implementation and validation of this physical model for the case of three dimensional reconstructions is carried out. In such implementation, the resolution of large and sparse linear systems of equations is required. Thus, some of the algebraic routines developed in the first part of the thesis have been used to implement computational strategies capable of solving the problem of 3D reconstruction based on ODT.

Download or read book Performance Analysis of Parallel Applications for HPC written by Jidong Zhai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a hybrid static-dynamic approach for efficient performance analysis of parallel applications on HPC systems. Performance analysis is essential to finding performance bottlenecks and understanding the performance behaviors of parallel applications on HPC systems. However, current performance analysis techniques usually incur significant overhead. Our book introduces a series of approaches for lightweight performance analysis. We combine static and dynamic analysis to reduce the overhead of performance analysis. Based on this hybrid static-dynamic approach, we then propose several innovative techniques for various performance analysis scenarios, including communication analysis, memory analysis, noise analysis, computation analysis, and scalability analysis. Through these specific performance analysis techniques, we convey to readers the idea of using static analysis to support dynamic analysis. To gain the most from the book, readers should have a basic grasp of parallel computing, computer architecture, and compilation techniques.
