Acceleration of PageRank with customized precision based on mantissa segmentation
[EN] We describe the application of a communication-reduction technique for the PageRank algorithm that dynamically adapts the precision of the data access to the numerical requirements of the algorithm as the iteration converges. Our variable-precision strategy, using a customized precision format based on mantissa segmentation (CPMS), abandons the IEEE 754 single- and double-precision number representation formats employed in the standard implementation of PageRank, and instead handles the data in memory using a customized floating-point format. The customized format enables fast data access in different accuracy, prevents overflow/underflow by preserving the IEEE 754 double-precision exponent, and efficiently avoids data duplication, since all bits of the original IEEE 754 double-precision mantissa are preserved in memory, but re-organized for efficient reduced precision access. With this approach, the truncated values (omitting significand bits), as well as the original IEEE double-precision values, can be retrieved without duplicating the data in different formats. Our numerical experiments on an NVIDIA V100 GPU (Volta architecture) and a server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs (48 cores in total) expose that, compared with a standard ieee double-precision implementation, the CPMS-based PageRank completes about 10% faster if high-accuracy output is needed, and about 30% faster if reduced output accuracy is acceptable.H.

Fundamentals
Volume 1 establishes the foundations of this new field. It goes through all the steps from data collection, their summary and clustering, to different aspects of resource-aware learning, i.e., hardware, memory, energy, and communication awareness. Machine learning methods are inspected with respect to resource requirements and how to enhance scalability on diverse computing architectures ranging from embedded systems to large computing clusters
