Reducing the performance analysis life-cycle when doing the parallelization of an application and incorporating data that is only know in the compiler and runtime side.

Abstract

Parallelism has become more and more commonplace with the advent of the multicore processors. Although different parallel programming models have arisen to exploit the computing capabilities of such processors, developing applications that take benefit of these processors may not be easy. And what is worse, the performance achieved by the parallel version of the application may not be what the developer expected, as a result of a dubious utilization of the resources offered by the processor.

We present in this paper a fruitful synergy of a shared memory parallel compiler and runtime, and a performance extraction library. The objective of this work is not only to reduce the performance analysis life-cycle when doing the parallelization of an application, but also to extend the analysis experience of the parallel application by incorporating data that is only known in the compiler and runtime side. Additionally we present performance results obtained with the execution of instrumented application and evaluate the overhead of the instrumentation.

OpenMP F2F 2018-2

A good week in Bordeaux, France focused on closing different open topics in the specification and many of those who have been discussed during past weeks have been shaping up and they are in good condition to go through the committee’s votes.

OpenMP tasking at ISC 2018

An advanced tutorial using the tasking model of the OpenMP standard. This course includes recent addition of OpenMP 4.5, being all the lecturers part of the OpenMP language committee.

INTERTWinE F2F 2018

Last Face to Face meeting before the end of the project and we have report the work progress for the different work packages and several technical sessions in a one-and-a-half-day meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

PATC (May, 2017)

The tutorial will motivate the audience on the need for portable, efficient programming models that put less pressure on program developers while still getting good performance for clusters and clusters with GPUs.

OpenMP F2F 2018-1

We have done a very good progress towards the future of the OpenMP 5.0 specification. We have discussed many issues and voted several tickets that finally have already been included in the specification (or will do in the short term).

OmpSs demos at SC 2017

Two short demos at the exhibition center showing the basic concepts of the OmpSs programming model. See you in the BSC booth (#1975).
