ASC CSSE Level 2 Milestone #6362: Resilient Asynchronous Many Task Programming Model

This report is an outcome of the ASC CSSE Level 2 Milestone 6362: Analysis of Re- silient Asynchronous Many-Task (AMT) Programming Model. It comprises a summary and in-depth analysis of resilience schemes adapted to the AMT programming model. Herein, performance trade-offs of a resilient-AMT prograrnming model are assessed through two ap- proaches: (1) an analytical model realized by discrete event simulations and (2) empirical evaluation of benchmark programs representing regular and irregular workloads of explicit partial differential equation solvers. As part of this effort, an AMT execution simulator and a prototype resilient-AMT programming framework have been developed. The former permits us to hypothesize the performance behavior of a resilient-AMT model, and has undergone a verification and validation (V&V) process. The latter allows empirical evaluation of the perfor- mance of resilience schemes under emulated program failures and enabled the aforementioned V&V process. The outcome indicates that (1) resilience techniques implemented within an AMT framework allow efficient and scalable recovery under frequent failures, that (2) the abstraction of task and data instances in the AMT programming model enables readily us- able Application Program Interfaces (APIs) for resilience, and that (3) this abstraction enables predicting the performance of resilient-AMT applications with a simple simulation infrastruc- ture. This outcome will provide guidance for the design of the AMT programming model and runtime systems, user-level resilience support, and application development for ASC's next generation platforms (NGPs).

Embedding Python for In-Situ Analysis

We describe our work to embed a Python interpreter in S3D, a highly scalable parallel direct numerical simulation reacting flow solver written in Fortran. Although S3D had no in-situ capability when we began, embedding the interpreter was surprisingly easy, and the result is an extremely flexible platform for conducting machine-learning experiments in-situ.

SNL ATDM Visualization (ECP ST Capability Assessment Report)

The SNL ATDM Data and Visualization work consolidates existing ATDM activities in scalable data management and visualization. Part of the responsibilities of the SNL ATDM Data and Visualization Project is the maintenance and development of visualization resources for ATDM applications on Exascale platforms. The ATDM Scalable Visualization project provides visualization and analysis required to satisfy the needs of the ASC/ATDM applications on next-generation, many-core platforms. This involves many activities including the re-engineering of visualization algorithms, services, and tools that enable ASC customers to carry out data analysis on ASC systems and ACES platforms. Current tools include scalable data analysis software released open source through ParaView, VTK, and Catalyst. We are also both leveraging and contributing to VTK-m, a many-core visualization library, to satisfy our visualization needs on advanced architectures. The scope of the Scalable Visualization under ATDM at SNL is R&D for the programming model and implementation of visualization code for ASC/ATDM projects and ASC/ATDM application support.
