1st Workshop on Complex Problems over High Performance Computing Architectures (CPHPCA’15) Focus
topic “High Performance Computing Programming” in
conjunction with ARCS 2015. Porto, Portugal, March 24th – 27th, 2015 |
|
Focus The main proposal of CPHPCA is to provide a scenario to discuss how problems with important challenges and high computational requirements can be mapped over current and upcoming high performance architectures. CPHPCA will be a part (in conjunction) of the 28th GI/ITG International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS'15). The importance of high performance computing is continually rising and
has emerged as one of the foremost fields of research. This brings up
many issues, in form of new network topologies and technologies (fast
accessing data), new low-consumption architectures, new programming
models, etc. It forces us to adapt our codes or create new ones to
take advantages of the latest computational features. This workshop focuses on the challenges of how to adapt/implement
complex and big problems on platforms composed by a high number of
cores, dealing with communication, programming, heterogeneous
architectures, load balancing, benchmarking, etc. Today, the
difficulty of the problems to be implemented is increasing
considerably, large data and computational requirements, dynamic
behavior, numerical simulations, automatic models, are just a few
examples of this kind of problems. Our target is to bridge the gap
between the theory of complex problems (computational fluid dynamics,
bioinformatics, lineal algebra, big data computing, ...) and high
performance computing platforms by proposing advances in programming. Topics Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original and
unpublished research in all areas related with programming of complex
problems via parallel and distributed processing. Works focusing on
emerging architectures and big computing challenges are specially
welcome.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: ·
New strategies to improve performance. ·
Code adapting to take advantages of lastest features. ·
Numerical modeling and numerical accuracy analysis for complex problems. ·
Communication, synchronization, load balancing. ·
Benchmarking, performance and scalability of algorithms, data structures, tools, programming models ... ·
Analysis and proposing of new programming models. ·
Adaptive self-tuning computing systems. ·
High level abstraction tools ... Keynote speakers Manuel Ujaldón (CUDA Fellow): Emerging trends in GPU computing
Since its inception in early 2007, CUDA has transformed the way
we understand High Performance Computing through a constant process
of innovations and architectural enhancements. Sustainable performance
has been based on three basic pillars: Scalable number of cores,
memory access and low power. In this talk, we will review these
three aspects and analyze what the future will bring us from
commercial platforms: Maxwell for cores, Pascal for memory and
Tegra for low power devices. The final part will unveil its preliminary
potential from the programming perspective of HPC applications. Luis Miguel Pinho: Challenges for predictable high-performance: the P-SOCRATES approach
The recent technological advancements and market trends are causing an interesting phenomenon towards the convergence of High-Performance Computing and Embedded Computing domains. On one side, new kinds of high-performance applications are being required by markets needing huge amounts of information to be processed within a bounded amount of time. On the other side, embedded systems are increasingly concerned with providing higher performance in real-time, challenging the performance capabilities of current architectures. This convergence, however, raises the challenge about how to guarantee predictably requirements in presence of parallel execution. This talk will address how the P-SOCRATES project is bringing together next-generation many-core accelerators from the embedded computing domain the programming models and techniques from the high-performance computing domain, and real-time methodologies to provide timing predictability.c Pedro Valero-Lara: PGAS (Unified Parallel C) Model. Case Study: Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM-HPC framework)
The main motivation of this talk is the evaluation of the Unified Parallel C (UPC) model. UPC is one of the current models into the so-called Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) paradigm. This paradigm attempts to increase the simplicity of codes and achieve a better efficiency and scalability. In particular, we study the lattice-Boltzmann method for fluid simulations (LBM-HPC open-source framework). This method presents several advantages for parallel computing, and so, it is a very appropriate scenario for comparing the fundamental features of UPC model in comparison with classical parallel programming models, such as the hybrid MPI-OpenMP model.
