A Runtime Optimization System for OpenMP
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces stOMP: a specializing thread-library for OpenMP. Using a combined compile-time and run-time system, stOMP specializes OpenMP parallel regions for frequently-seen values and the configuration of the runtime system. An overview of stOMP is presented as well as motivation for the runtime optimization of OpenMP applications. The overheads incurred by a prototype implementation of stOMP are evaluated on three Spec OpenMP Benchmarks and the EPCC scheduling microbenchmark. The results are encouraging and suggest that there is a large potential for improvement by the runtime optimization of OpenMP applications.

Managing Compilation Overheads in a Runtime Specializer for OpenMP
While runtime compilation has in practice been largely restricted to programming languages that execute on virtual machines, such as Java and C#, parallel OpenMP programs show many promising traits for efficient and effective runtime optimization. The stOMP system for the runtime optimization of OpenMP applications is currently under development at the University of Toronto. One of the key issu...
متن کاملDynamically Adaptive Parallel Programs
Dynamic program optimization is the only recourse for optimizing compilers when machine and program parameters necessary for applying an optimization technique are unknown until runtime. With the movement toward portable parallel programs, facilitated by language standards such as OpenMP, many of the optimizations developed for high-performance machines can no longer be applied prior to runtime...
متن کاملTowards optimisation of openMP codes for synchronisation and data reuse
In this paper, we present the compiler transformation of OpenMP code to an ordered collection of tasks, and the compile-time as well as runtime mapping of the resulting task graph to threads for data reuse. The ordering of tasks is relaxed where possible so that the code may be executed in a more loosely synchronous fashion. Our current implementation uses a runtime system that permits tasks to...

متن کاملApplication-Level Energy Awareness for OpenMP
Power, and consequently energy, has recently attained firstclass system resource status, on par with conventional metrics such as CPU time. To reduce energy consumption, many hardwareand OSlevel solutions have been investigated. However, application-level information which can provide the system with valuable insights unattainable otherwise was only considered in a handful of cases. We introduc...
