Integrating SkePU's algorithmic skeletons with GPI on a cluster / Integrering av SkePUs algoritmiska skelett med GPI på ett clusterAlmqvist, Joel January 2022 (has links)
As processors' clock-speed flattened out in the early 2000s, multi-core processors became more prevalent and so did parallel programming. However this programming paradigm introduces additional complexities, and to combat this, the SkePU framework was created. SkePU does this by offering a single-threaded interface which executes the user's code in parallel in accordance to a chosen computational pattern. Furthermore it allows the user themselves to decide which parallel backend should perform the execution, be it OpenMP, CUDA or OpenCL. This modular approach of SkePU thus allows for different hardware to be used without changing the code, and it currently supports CPUs, GPUs and clusters. This thesis presents a new so-called SkePU-backend made for clusters, using the communication library GPI. It demonstrates that the new backend is able to scale better and handle workload imbalances better than the existing SkePU-cluster-backend. This is achieved despite it performing worse at low node amounts, indicating that it requires less scaling overhead. Its weaknesses are also analyzed, partially from a design point of view, and clear solutions are presented, combined with a discussion as to why they arose in the first place.
