Tempest: A Framework for High Performance Thermal-Aware Distributed ComputingPyla, Hari Krishna 08 June 2007 (has links)
Compute clusters are consuming more power at higher densities than ever before. This results in increased thermal dissipation, the need for powerful cooling systems, and ultimately a reduction in system reliability as temperatures increase. Over the past several years, the research community has reacted to this problem by producing software tools such as HotSpot and Mercury to estimate system thermal characteristics and validate thermal-management techniques. While these tools are flexible and useful, they suffer several limitations: for the average user such simulation tools can be cumbersome to use, these tools may take significant time and expertise to port to different systems. Further, such tools produce significant detail and accuracy at the expense of execution time enough to prohibit iterative testing. We propose a fast, easy to use, accurate, portable, software framework called Tempest (for temperature estimator) that leverages emergent thermal sensors to enable user profiling, evaluating, and reducing the thermal characteristics of systems and applications.
In this thesis, we illustrate the use of Tempest to analyze the thermal effects of various parallel benchmarks in clusters. We also show how users can analyze the effects of thermal optimizations on cluster applications. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) reduces the power consumption of high-performance clusters by reducing processor voltage during periods of low utilization. We designed Tempest to measure the runtime effects of processor frequency on thermals. Our experiments indicate HPC workload characteristics greatly impact the effects of DVFS on temperature. We propose a thermal-aware DVFS scheduling approach that proactively controls processor voltage across a cluster by evaluating and predicting trends in processor temperature. We identify approaches that can maintain temperature thresholds and reduce temperature with minimal impact on performance. Our results indicate that proactive, temperature-aware scheduling of DVFS can reduce cluster-wide processor thermals by more than 10 degrees Celsius, the threshold for improving electronic reliability by 50%. / Master of Science

A parallel process model and architecture for a Pure Logic LanguageJelly, Innes E. January 1990 (has links)
The research presented in this thesis has been concerned with the use of parallel logic systems for the implementation of large knowledge bases. The thesis describes proposals for a parallel logic system based on a new logic programming language, the Pure Logic Language. The work has involved the definition and implementation of a new logic interpreter which incorporates the parallel execution of independent OR processes, and the specification and design of an appropriate non shared memory multiprocessor architecture. The Pure Logic Language which is under development at JeL, Bracknell, differs from Prolog in its expressive powers and implementation. The resolution based Prolog approach is replaced by a rewrite rule technique which successively transforms expressions according to logical axioms and user defined rules until no further rewrites are possible. A review of related work in the field of parallel logic language systems is presented. The thesis describes the different forms of parallelism within logic languages and discusses the decision to concentrate on the efficient implementation of OR parallelism. The parallel process model for the Pure Logic Language uses the same execution technique of rule rewriting but has been adapted to implement the creation of independent OR processes and the required message passing operations. The parallelism in the system is implemented automatically and, unlike many other parallel logic systems there are no explicit program annotations for the control of parallel execution. The spawning of processes involves computational overheads within the interpreter: these have been measured and results are presented. The functional requirements of a multiprocessor architecture are discussed: shared memory machines are not scalable for large numbers of processing elements, but, with no shared memory, data needed by offspring processors must be copied from the parent or else recomputed. The thesis describes an optimised format for the copying of data between processors. Because a one-to-many communication pattern exits between parent and offspring processors a broadcast architecture is indicated. The development of a system based on the broadcasting of data packets represents a new approach to the parallel execution of logic languages and has led to the design of a novel bus based multiprocessor architecture. A simulation of this multiprocessor architecture has been produced and the parallel logic interpreter mapped onto it: this provides data on the predicted performance of the system. A detailed analysis of these results is presented and the implications for future developments to the proposed system are discussed.
