In the context of the genome-wide association studies (GWAS), one has to solve long sequences of generalized least-squares problems; such a task has two limiting factors: execution time --often in the range of days or weeks-- and data management --data sets in the order of Terabytes. We present an algorithm that obviates both issues. By pipelining the computation, and thanks to a sophisticated transfer strategy, we stream data from hard disk to main memory to GPUs and achieve sustained peak performance; with respect to a highly-optimized CPU implementation, our algorithm shows a speedup of 2.6x. Moreover, the approach lends itself to multiple GPUs and attains almost perfect scalability. When using 4 GPUs, we observe speedups of 9x over the aforementioned implementation, and 488x over a widespread biology library.

In the present paper we consider numerical methods to solve the discrete Schrodinger equation with a time dependent Hamiltonian (motivated by problems encountered in the study of spin systems). We will consider both short-range interactions, which le
ad to evolution equations involving sparse matrices, and long-range interactions, which lead to dense matrices. Both of these settings show very different computational characteristics. We use Magnus integrators for time integration and employ a framework based on Leja interpolation to compute the resulting action of the matrix exponential. We consider both traditional Magnus integrators (which are extensively used for these types of problems in the literature) as well as the recently developed commutator-free Magnus integrators and implement them on modern CPU and GPU (graphics processing unit) based systems. We find that GPUs can yield a significant speed-up (up to a factor of $10$ in the dense case) for these types of problems. In the sparse case GPUs are only advantageous for large problem sizes and the achieved speed-ups are more modest. In most cases the commutator-free variant is superior but especially on the GPU this advantage is rather small. In fact, none of the advantage of commutator-free methods on GPUs (and on multi-core CPUs) is due to the elimination of commutators. This has important consequences for the design of more efficient numerical methods.
Understanding and tuning the performance of extreme-scale parallel computing systems demands a streaming approach due to the computational cost of applying offline algorithms to vast amounts of performance log data. Analyzing large streaming data is
challenging because the rate of receiving data and limited time to comprehend data make it difficult for the analysts to sufficiently examine the data without missing important changes or patterns. To support streaming data analysis, we introduce a visual analytic framework comprising of three modules: data management, analysis, and interactive visualization. The data management module collects various computing and communication performance metrics from the monitored system using streaming data processing techniques and feeds the data to the other two modules. The analysis module automatically identifies important changes and patterns at the required latency. In particular, we introduce a set of online and progressive analysis methods for not only controlling the computational costs but also helping analysts better follow the critical aspects of the analysis results. Finally, the interactive visualization module provides the analysts with a coherent view of the changes and patterns in the continuously captured performance data. Through a multi-faceted case study on performance analysis of parallel discrete-event simulation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework for identifying bottlenecks and locating outliers.
The SIMT execution model is commonly used for general GPU development. CUDA and OpenCL developers write scalar code that is implicitly parallelized by compiler and hardware. On Intel GPUs, however, this abstraction has profound performance implicatio
ns as the underlying ISA is SIMD and important hardware capabilities cannot be fully utilized. To close this performance gap we introduce C-For-Metal (CM), an explicit SIMD programming framework designed to deliver close-to-the-metal performance on Intel GPUs. The CM programming language and its vector/matrix types provide an intuitive interface to exploit the underlying hardware features, allowing fine-grained register management, SIMD size control and cross-lane data sharing. Experimental results show that CM applications from different domains outperform the best-known SIMT-based OpenCL implementations, achieving up to 2.7x speedup on the latest Intel GPU.
The amount of data in real-time, such as time series and streaming data, available today continues to grow. Being able to analyze this data the moment it arrives can bring an immense added value. However, it also requires a lot of computational effor
t and new acceleration techniques. As a possible solution to this problem, this paper proposes a hardware architecture for Typicality and Eccentricity Data Analytic (TEDA) algorithm implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) for use in data streaming anomaly detection. TEDA is based on a new approach to outlier detection in the data stream context. In order to validate the proposals, results of the occupation and throughput of the proposed hardware are presented. Besides, the bit accurate simulation results are also presented. The project aims to Xilinx Virtex-6 xc6vlx240t-1ff1156 as the target FPGA.
The MURaM (Max Planck University of Chicago Radiative MHD) code is a solar atmosphere radiative MHD model that has been broadly applied to solar phenomena ranging from quiet to active sun, including eruptive events such as flares and coronal mass eje
ctions. The treatment of physics is sufficiently realistic to allow for the synthesis of emission from visible light to extreme UV and X-rays, which is critical for a detailed comparison with available and future multi-wavelength observations. This component relies critically on the radiation transport solver (RTS) of MURaM; the most computationally intensive component of the code. The benefits of accelerating RTS are multiple fold: A faster RTS allows for the regular use of the more expensive multi-band radiation transport needed for comparison with observations, and this will pave the way for the acceleration of ongoing improvements in RTS that are critical for simulations of the solar chromosphere. We present challenges and strategies to accelerate a multi-physics, multi-band MURaM using a directive-based programming model, OpenACC in order to maintain a single source code across CPUs and GPUs. Results for a $288^3$ test problem show that MURaM with the optimized RTS routine achieves 1.73x speedup using a single NVIDIA V100 GPU over a fully subscribed 40-core Intel Skylake CPU node and with respect to the number of simulation points (in millions) per second, a single NVIDIA V100 GPU is equivalent to 69 Skylake cores. We also measure parallel performance on up to 96 GPUs and present weak and strong scaling results.
