This article shares the process we applied for the CoE and documents lessons learned during the collaboration, with the hope that others will be able to learn from both our success and intermediate setbacks.

Existing applications optimized to run only on the CPU have to be rewritten to adopt accelerators and retuned to achieve optimal performance. The shift in the computational paradigm requires application development tools (e.g., compilers, performance profilers and tracers, and debuggers) change to better assist users. The CORAL project places a strong emphasis on open-source tools to create a collaborative environment in the tools community. In this article, we discuss the collaboration efforts and corresponding challenges to meet the CORAL requirements on tools and detail three of the challenges that required the most involvement. A usage scenario is provided to show how the tools may help users adopt the new computation environment and understand their application execution and the data flow at scale.","PeriodicalId":55034,"journal":{"name":"IBM Journal of Research and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1147/JRD.2019.2960246","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49948703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IBM CORAL systems are based on a fundamentally new data-centric architecture, where compute power is embedded everywhere data resides, combining powerful central processing units (CPUs) with graphics processing units (GPUs) optimized for scientific computing and artificial intelligence workloads. The IBM CORAL systems were built on the combination of mature technologies: 9th-generation POWER CPU, 6th-generation NVIDIA GPU, and 5th-generation Mellanox InfiniBand.

The performances of key kernels using RAJA and CUDA are compared to estimate the performance penalty of using the portability abstraction layer. Code changes required for efficiency on GPUs and minimizing time spent in Message Passing Interface (MPI) are discussed. This article describes a path for efficiently porting large code bases to GPU-based machines while avoiding the pitfalls of a new architecture in the early stages of its deployment. Current bottlenecks in the code are discussed along with possible architectural or software mitigations. SW4 runs 28× faster on one 4-GPU CORAL node than on a CTS-1 node (Dual Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4).

In this article, we show that exploiting device-level parallelism is key to achieving high performance by reducing overheads typically associated with CPU and GPU task execution. Moreover, manually exploiting this type of parallelism in large-scale applications is nontrivial and error-prone. We hide the complexity of exploiting this hybrid intranode parallelism using the OpenMP programming model abstraction. The implementation leverages the semantics of OpenMP tasks to express asynchronous task computations and their associated dependences. Launching tasks on the CPU threads requires a careful design of work-stealing algorithms to provide efficient load balancing among CPU threads. We propose a novel algorithm that removes locks from all task queueing operations that are on the critical path. Tasks assigned to GPU devices require additional steps such as copying input data to GPU devices, launching the computation kernels, and copying data back to the host CPU memory. We perform key optimizations to reduce the cost of these additional steps by tightly integrating data transfers and GPU computations into streams of asynchronous GPU operations. We further map high-level dependences between GPU tasks to the same asynchronous GPU streams to further avoid unnecessary synchronization. Results validate our approach.","PeriodicalId":55034,"journal":{"name":"IBM Journal of Research and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1147/JRD.2019.2960245","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49948700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the prior research focuses on decision-making for independent systems (e.g., single critical infrastructure networks or distinct relief resources). An emerging research area extends the focus to interdependent systems (i.e., multiple dependent networks or resources).

However, practitioners may spend significant time refining layers and hyperparameters before discovering that distorted training data were impeding the training progress. We found that an evolutionary algorithm (EA) can be used to troubleshoot this kind of DL problem. An EA evaluated thousands of DL configurations on Summit that yielded no overall improvement in DL performance, which suggested problems with the training and validation data. We suspected that contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization enhancement that was applied to previously generated digital surface models, for which we were training DLs to find errors, had damaged the training data. Subsequent runs with an alternative global normalization yielded significantly improved DL performance. However, the DL intersection over unions still exhibited consistent subpar performance, which suggested further problems with the training data and DL approach. Nonetheless, we were able to diagnose this problem within a 12-hour span via Summit runs, which prevented several weeks of unproductive trial-and-error DL configuration refinement and allowed for a more timely convergence on an ultimately viable solution.","PeriodicalId":55034,"journal":{"name":"IBM Journal of Research and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1147/JRD.2019.2960225","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49948705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
