Abstract

The PathForward element of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Hardware and Integration (HI) focus area has met its goals of preparing the US industry for exascale system procurements and generally improving US competitiveness in the worldwide computing market. This report is a companion to the deliverable for the ECP milestone PM-HI-1040, Assess PathForward Impact Against Exascale Hardware Challenges, which gives a summary of the final status of each PathForward project, describes progress achieved against PathForward contract milestones, and includes a final assessment of each vendor’s progress on key exascale challenges. This companion document details the results of the PathForward research to the extent possible without disclosing proprietary information and the impact on products and US exascale systems. In addition, it captures lessons learned in order to inform future projects in general and in high-performance computing in particular.

Early Application Results on Pre-exascale Architecture with Analysis of Performance Challenges and Projections (Milestone PM-AD-1080 WBS 2.2)

Technical Report Siegel, Andrew; Draeger, Erik; Deslippe, Jack; ...

This Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Milestone Report summarizes the status of all 30 ECP Applications Development (AD) sub-projects at the end of FY19. In August and September of 2019, a comprehensive assessment of AD projects was conducted jointly by the ECP leadership and a team of external subject matter experts. Reviews took place in person over five days-two at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and three at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago. The review committees were tasked with evaluating each sub-project's progress in porting their code(s) to current multi-GPU architectures considered precursors to planned exascale machines.

WBS STPR 04 Milestone 4 Report

Technical Report Sunderland, Daniel; Hoemmen, Mark; Trott, Christian

This report documents the completion of milestone STPRO4-4 Kokkos back-ends research, collaborations, development, optimization, and documentation. The Kokkos team updated its existing backend to support the software stack and hardware of DOE's Sierra, Summit and Astra machines. They also collaborated with ECP PathForward vendors on developing backends for possible exa-scale architectures. Furthermore, the team ramped up its engagement with the ISO/C++ committee to accelerate the adoption of features important for the HPC community into the C++ standard.

Documented Kokkos API: WBS STPR 04 Milestone 13

Technical Report Trott, Christian

This report documents the completion of milestone STPRO4-13 "Documented Kokkos API", which is part of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP). The goal of this Milestone was to generate documentation for the Kokkos programming model accessible to the open HPC community, beyond what was available via the tutorials. The total documentation for Kokkos now contains the equivalent of about 250 pages in text book format. About a third of it is contained in a more text book like style like the Kokkos Programming Guide, while most of the rest is an API reference modelled after popular C++ reference webpages.

Milestone Completion Report WBS 1.3.5.05 ECP/VTK-m FY17Q3 [MS-17/02] Faceted Surface Normals STDA05-3.

Technical Report Moreland, Kenneth

The FY17Q3 milestone of the ECP/VTK-m project includes the completion of a VTK-m filter that computes normal vectors for surfaces. Normal vectors are those that point perpendicular to the surface and are an important direction when rendering the surface. The implementation includes the parallel algorithm itself, a filter module to simplify integrating it into other software, and documentation in the VTK-m Users’ Guide. With the completion of this milestone, we are able to necessary information to rendering systems to provide appropriate shading of surfaces. This milestone also feeds into subsequent milestones that progressively improve the approximation of surface direction.
