Performance Models for Data Transfers: A Case Study with Molecular Chemistry Kernels
With increasing complexity of hardwares, systems with different memory nodes
are ubiquitous in High Performance Computing (HPC). It is paramount to develop
strategies to overlap the data transfers between memory nodes with computations
in order to exploit the full potential of these systems. In this article, we
consider the problem of deciding the order of data transfers between two memory
nodes for a set of independent tasks with the objective to minimize the
makespan. We prove that with limited memory capacity, obtaining the optimal
order of data transfers is a NP-complete problem. We propose several heuristics
for this problem and provide details about their favorable situations. We
present an analysis of our heuristics on traces, obtained by running 2
molecular chemistry kernels, namely, Hartree-Fock (HF) and Coupled Cluster
Single Double (CCSD) on 10 nodes of an HPC system. Our results show that some
of our heuristics achieve significant overlap for moderate memory capacities
and are very close to the lower bound of makespan
Gravitational wave forms for a three-body system in Lagrange's orbit: parameter determinations and a binary source test
Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Torigoe et al. Phys.
Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 251101 (2009)], gravitational wave forms for a three-body
system in Lagrange's orbit are considered especially in an analytic method.
First, we derive an expression of the three-body wave forms at the mass
quadrupole, octupole and current quadrupole orders. By using the expressions,
we solve a gravitational-wave {\it inverse} problem of determining the source
parameters to this particular configuration (three masses, a distance of the
source to an observer, and the orbital inclination angle to the line of sight)
through observations of the gravitational wave forms alone. For this purpose,
the chirp mass to a three-body system in the particular configuration is
expressed in terms of only the mass ratios by deleting initial angle positions.
We discuss also whether and how a binary source can be distinguished from a
three-body system in Lagrange's orbit or others.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; text improved, typos corrected;

Choreographic solution to the general relativistic three-body problem
We revisit the three-body problem in the framework of general relativity. The
Newtonian N-body problem admits choreographic solutions, where a solution is
called choreographic if every massive particles move periodically in a single
closed orbit. One is a stable figure-eight orbit for a three-body system, which
was found first by Moore (1993) and re-discovered with its existence proof by
Chenciner and Montgomery (2000). In general relativity, however, the periastron
shift prohibits a binary system from orbiting in a single closed curve.
Therefore, it is unclear whether general relativistic effects admit a
choreographic solution such as the figure eight. We carefully examine general
relativistic corrections to initial conditions so that an orbit for a
three-body system can be closed and a figure eight. This solution is still
choreographic. This illustration suggests that the general relativistic N-body
problem also may admit a certain class of choreographic solutions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, text improved, accepted for publication in PR
Collinear solution to the general relativistic three-body problem
The three-body problem is reexamined in the framework of general relativity.
The Newtonian three-body problem admits Euler's collinear solution, where three
bodies move around the common center of mass with the same orbital period and
always line up. The solution is unstable. Hence it is unlikely that such a
simple configuration would exist owing to general relativistic forces dependent
not only on the masses but also on the velocity of each body. However, we show
that the collinear solution remains true with a correction to the spatial
separation between masses. Relativistic corrections to the Sun-Jupiter Lagrange
points L1, L2 and L3 are also evaluated.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in PR
