Software for Exascale Computing - SPPEXA 2016-2019
This open access book summarizes the research done and results obtained in the second funding phase of the Priority Program 1648 "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) presented at the SPPEXA Symposium in Dresden during October 21-23, 2019. In that respect, it both represents a continuation of Vol. 113 in Springer’s series Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, the corresponding report of SPPEXA’s first funding phase, and provides an overview of SPPEXA’s contributions towards exascale computing in today's sumpercomputer technology. The individual chapters address one or more of the research directions (1) computational algorithms, (2) system software, (3) application software, (4) data management and exploration, (5) programming, and (6) software tools. The book has an interdisciplinary appeal: scholars from computational sub-fields in computer science, mathematics, physics, or engineering will find it of particular interest

Laboratory Directed Research and Development FY2010 Annual Report
A premier applied-science laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has at its core a primary national security mission - to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing, and to prevent and counter the spread and use of weapons of mass destruction: nuclear, chemical, and biological. The Laboratory uses the scientific and engineering expertise and facilities developed for its primary mission to pursue advanced technologies to meet other important national security needs - homeland defense, military operations, and missile defense, for example - that evolve in response to emerging threats. For broader national needs, LLNL executes programs in energy security, climate change and long-term energy needs, environmental assessment and management, bioscience and technology to improve human health, and for breakthroughs in fundamental science and technology. With this multidisciplinary expertise, the Laboratory serves as a science and technology resource to the U.S. government and as a partner with industry and academia. This annual report discusses the following topics: (1) Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation; (2) Biological Sciences; (3) Chemistry; (4) Earth and Space Sciences; (5) Energy Supply and Use; (6) Engineering and Manufacturing Processes; (7) Materials Science and Technology; Mathematics and Computing Science; (8) Nuclear Science and Engineering; and (9) Physics

DAMOV: A New Methodology and Benchmark Suite for Evaluating Data Movement Bottlenecks
Data movement between the CPU and main memory is a first-order obstacle
against improving performance, scalability, and energy efficiency in modern
systems. Computer systems employ a range of techniques to reduce overheads tied
to data movement, spanning from traditional mechanisms (e.g., deep multi-level
cache hierarchies, aggressive hardware prefetchers) to emerging techniques such
as Near-Data Processing (NDP), where some computation is moved close to memory.
Our goal is to methodically identify potential sources of data movement over a
broad set of applications and to comprehensively compare traditional
compute-centric data movement mitigation techniques to more memory-centric
techniques, thereby developing a rigorous understanding of the best techniques
to mitigate each source of data movement.
With this goal in mind, we perform the first large-scale characterization of
a wide variety of applications, across a wide range of application domains, to
identify fundamental program properties that lead to data movement to/from main
memory. We develop the first systematic methodology to classify applications
based on the sources contributing to data movement bottlenecks. From our
large-scale characterization of 77K functions across 345 applications, we
select 144 functions to form the first open-source benchmark suite (DAMOV) for
main memory data movement studies. We select a diverse range of functions that
(1) represent different types of data movement bottlenecks, and (2) come from a
wide range of application domains. Using NDP as a case study, we identify new
insights about the different data movement bottlenecks and use these insights
to determine the most suitable data movement mitigation mechanism for a
particular application. We open-source DAMOV and the complete source code for
our new characterization methodology at https://github.com/CMU-SAFARI/DAMOV.Comment: Our open source software is available at
