DARMA-MPI Interoperability WBS 2.3.1.04 Milestone 15 (ECP Milestone Report)
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-CA), Livermore, CA (United States)
DARMA (Distributed Asynchronous Resilient Models for Applications) is a runtime library developed as part of the the Sandia ATDM (Advanced Technology Development and Mitigation) program. DARMA supports applications within 2.2.5.03 ADNN03-ASC ATDM SNL Application, which includes a number of applications featuring dynamic physics which requires load balancing and asynchronous communication for high performance. We have implemented a modern C++ programming model that can enable dynamic, asynchronous communication on top of existing data structures from a serial or MPI code. DARMA development has occurred in parallel with a verification milestone for ATDM in FY18. For FY19, DARMA will impact ATDM by enabling the performance benefits of a dynamic runtime through only incremental changes to existing verified MPI codes. The results presented here demonstrate the DARMA development process for an MPI mini-app, showing a 3-4x improvement in performance for a challenging problem relative to the parent MPI code and coming within 25 percent of the theoretically optimal performance achievable from a perfect, fine-grained load balancer for most cases.
