Emulating Ibm Bluegene on a Linux Mpi Cluster

چکیده
The new and previous No. 1 is DOE’s IBM BlueGene/L system, installed at DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). It has doubled in size (again) and has now achieved a record Linpack performance of 280.6 TFlop/s. It is still the only system ever to exceed the 100 TFlop/s mark. This project is being carried out at WAran Research FoundaTion as a part of WARFT’s major research initiative into Brain Modeling and Supercomputing. The focus of this project is to investigate deeper into the network and node characteristics of BlueGene/L with regard to Performance and Power. To study these aspects, we emulate the IBM BlueGene. This being a very complex a computationally intensive process, a high Performance System like a Linux MPI cluster is essential. Specific Benchmark applications like LinPack benchmark will be run on the emulated BlueGene cluster.

High-Level Topology-Oblivious Optimization of MPI Broadcast Algorithms on Extreme-Scale Platforms
There has been a significant research in collective communication operations, in particular in MPI broadcast, on distributed memory platforms. Most of the research works are done to optimize the collective operations for particular architectures by taking into account either their topology or platform parameters. In this work we propose a very simple and at the same time general approach to opt...
متن کاملImplementing Optimized Collective Communication Routines on the IBM BlueGene/L Supercomputer
BlueGene/L is a massively parallel supercomputer that is currently the fastest in the world. Implementing MPI, and especially fast collective communication operations can be challenging on such an architecture. In this paper, I will present optimized implementations of MPI collective algorithms on the BlueGene/L supercomputer and show performance results compared to the default MPICH2 algorithm...
متن کاملTest Suite for Evaluating Performance of MPI Implementations That Support MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
MPI implementations that support the highest level of thread safety for user programs, MPI THREAD MULTIPLE, are becoming widely available. Users often expect that different threads can execute independently and that the MPI implementation can provide the necessary level of thread safety with only a small overhead. The MPI Standard, however, requires only that no MPI call in one thread block MPI...
متن کاملTest suite for evaluating performance of multithreaded MPI communication
As parallel systems are commonly being built out of increasingly large multicore chips, application programmers are exploring the use of hybrid programming models combining MPI across nodes and multithreading within a node. Many MPI implementations, however, are just starting to support multithreaded MPI communication, often focussing on correctness first and performance later. As a result, bot...
متن کاملParallel computing using MPI and OpenMP on self-configured platform, UMZHPC.
Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...
