Background

• “Peta” is tremendous!– Compared with “Giga or Tera” scale machines

How are you Mr. Tera?

I am fine!How about you, Mr. Peta?

Background

• “Peta” is tremendous!– Compared with “Giga or Tera” scale machines

• If you would like to develop a “Peta-Scale” supercomputer, it is required to…– Explore the design space both of computation

nodes and inter-connection network!– Verify the effective performance to be achieved!

• So, we need a performance evaluation environment for peta-scale supercomputers!

Our Goal!

• Problem…– Simulations are 3-orders of magnitude slower

than real machines!– “Peta-scale” is 3-orders of magnitude larger

than “Tera-scale” (i.e. available machines) ! – How can we bridge the gap?

• Develop an efficient performance evaluation environment: PSI-SIM– Divide compute-node simulations and network

simulations!– Abstract the target application program to

accelerate simulation speed!

foo( ) { Inst. Block A for (i=0;i<n;i++) { Inst. Block B if (hoge) { Inst. Block C } else { Inst. Block D } Inst. Block E } MPI_Comm. Inst. Block F

for (j=0; j<n; j++) for (k=0; k<n; k++) Func( );}

Skeleton code

• Computation blocks are replaced by “Estimated” execution times!• Other modifications (e.g. reducing required memory size)

Generating Communication Profile

• BSIM-Logger– Executes the skeleton code on an existing

machine– Emulates the behavior of target machine– Generates a communication profile under the

assumption of a ZERO-latency ideal network

• Why Fast?– Abstracted computation blocks are NOT

executed (just update virtual timers)– Mask real communications, but generate

accurate logs

How Fast? How Accurate?ERI (Electron Repulsion Integral)

Fast, Flexible Interconnection Network Simulator

• NSIM– Inputs the communication profile and a

network configuration file– Generates a communication profile with

estimated interconnect latency

• Why Fast? Why Flexible?– Parallelized implementation– Support a number of parameters

• Topology , Spec. of routers/switches, buffer size, and so on

Performance of BSIM + NSIM

• Performance prediction for HPL execution @16nodes PC cluster

• <120s (problem size = 5,000) @8CPU• About 9,000 MPI-Comm./s@8CPU

Conclusions

• PSI-SIM– Performance evaluation environment for

supercomputers– BSIM+NSIM+ANA

• On Going Work: Performance Prediction for – “Tera-Scale” machine (1K CPU Cores) by using a

“Giga-scale” machine (e.g. 32 CPU Cores)– “Peta-Scale” machine (4K PSI-SIMD CPUs) by

using a “Giga-scale” machine

Peta-scale Performance Prediction

• Assumption– HPL problem size: 3Million– #of nodes: 4K (PSI-SIMD)– BSIM: use 32 cpus (3GHz Xeon)– NSIM: 10,000 MPI-Comm./s@8CPU

• How long we need to spend?– BSIM: about 300h (<2 weeks)– NSIM: about ??
