Abstract

This document outlines a proposal for extending UPC'spoint-to-point memcpy library with support for explicitly non-blockingtransfers, and non-contiguous (indexed and strided) transfers. Variousportions of this proposal could stand alone as independent extensions tothe UPC library. The designs presented here are heavily influenced byanalogous functionality which exists in other parallel communicationsystems, such as MPI, ARMCI, Titanium, and network hardware API's such asQuadrics elan, Infiniband vapi, IBM LAPI and Cray X-1. Each sectioncontains proposed extensions to the libraries in the UPC LanguageSpecification (section 7) and corresponding extensions to the GASNetcommunication system API.

Proposal for Extending the UPC Memory Copy Library Functions and Supporting Extensions to GASNet (V.2.0)

Technical Report Bonachea, Dan

This document outlines a proposal for extending UPC’s point-to-point memcpy library with support for explicitly non-blocking transfers, and non-contiguous (indexed and strided) transfers. Various portions of this proposal could stand alone as independent extensions to the UPC library. The designs presented here are heavily influenced by analogous functionality which exists in other parallel communication systems, such as MPI, ARMCI, Titanium, and network hardware API’s such as Quadrics elan, Infiniband vapi, IBM LAPI and Cray X-1. Each section contains proposed extensions to the libraries in the UPC Language Specification (section 7) and corresponding extensions to the GASNet communication system API.

Aggregate Remote Memory Copy Interface

Software Nieplocha, Jarek; Krishnan, Manojkumar; Tipparaju, Vinod; ...

The purpose of the Aggregate Remote Memory Copy (ARMCI) library is to provide a general- purpose, efficient, and Widely portable remote memory access (RMA) operations (one-sided communication) optimized for Contiguous and noncontiguous (strided, scatter/gather, I/O vector) data transfers. In addition, ARMCI includes a set of atomic and mutual exclusion operations. The development ARMCI is driven by the need to support the global-address space communication model in context of distributed regular or irregular distributed data structures, communication libraries, and compilers. ARMCI is a standalone system that could be used to support user-level libraries and applications that use MPI or PVM.

Designing Scalable PGAS Communication Subsystems on Cray Gemini Interconnect

Conference Vishnu, Abhinav; Daily, Jeffrey; Palmer, Bruce

The Cray Gemini Interconnect has been recently introduced as a next generation network architecture for building multi-petaflop supercomputers. Cray XE6 systems including LANL Cielo, NERSC Hopper, ORNL Titan and proposed NCSA BlueWaters leverage the Gemini Interconnect as their primary Interconnection network. At the same time, programming models such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) models such as Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-Array Fortran (CAF) have become available on these systems. Global Arrays is a popular PGAS model used in a variety of application domains including hydrodynamics, chemistry and visualization. Global Arrays uses Aggregatemore »« less

Graph Algorithms in PGAS: Chapel and UPC++

Conference Jenkins, Louis; Firoz, Jesun; Zalewski, Marcin; ...

The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming model can be implemented «««< HEAD either with programming language features or with runtime library APIs, each implementation favoring different aspects (e.g., productivity, abstraction, flexibility, or performance). Certain language and runtime features, such as collectives, explicit and asynchronous communication primitives, and constructs facilitating overlap of communication and computation (such as futures and conjoined futures) can enable better performance and scaling for irregular applications, in particular for distributed graph analytics. We compare graph algorithms in one of each of these environments: the Chapel PGAS programming language and the UPC++ PGAS runtime library. We implementmore »« less
